Exposing Hajj Amin Al-Husseini
When I was standing in Hyde
Park shouting ‘Bomb Bomb Israel’, and listening to Israel being compared to the
Nazis, I firmly believed that, like Iranian President Ahmadinejad mentioned not
too long ago, that Israel was result of European guilt for the Holocaust Of course today I know that’s rubbish, the
Jewish connection to the land of Israel did not being in 1930, it goes back
1000’s of years, indeed the Quran mentions it after talking about the Jews
exodus from Egypt:
Sura Al Isra (The night Journey) 17: 104. And We (Allah) said to the Children of Israel
after him: "Dwell in the land (Land of Israel), then, when the final and
the last promise comes near. We shall bring you altogether as mixed crowd
(gathered out of various nations).
Unsurprisingly this verse
isn’t really mentioned when we are taught about the re-establishment of Israel,
in fact in the version of history I was taught there is very little mention of
the man who has done more damage to the Palestinian people than any other, the
criminal Nazi Al-Hajj Amin Husseini – Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. This man is responsible for aligning with the
Nazi’s, vile anti-Semitism and has sowed the seeds of the Anti-Semitism that’s
rife in the Arab world today! While my ancestors (India-Pakistan) proudly
fought against the Nazi war machine, this coward recruited for the cause of
Nazi tyranny. It’s imperative that
people know about this evil human being.
Here are some key events highlighting his crimes: - 1920/1921 - Amin Al-Husseini begins
life-long campaign of inciting hate between Jews and Muslims under British
Mandate of Palestine. He begins rule of terror over local Muslim leaders, who
denounce him as an ignorant thug.
Al-Husseini and others organize
demonstrations in Jerusalem, calling for Arab independence and union with
Syria.
- May
1921
- High Commissioner Samuel appoints Al-Husseini Mufti
of Jerusalem. In 1922, al-Husseini becomes president of the Supreme Muslim
Council and the administrator of the waqf (funds for repair and improvement of
religious sites and institutions).against the
local Muslim vote, Amin Al-Husseini came in a poor fourth place in the vote. The Muslim community rejected his
candidacy because he had not received any credible Islamic
education.
- 1929 - The Hebron Massacre - Amin
Al-Husseini incites more riots in Palestine mandate. He spreads
false rumours that Jews were massacring Arabs in Jerusalem and seizing control of Muslim holy places, to further turn the local Muslims
against the Jews and incite brutal violence.
Hebron Jewish community was over 2,000 years old, Jews were killed and
Jewish homes and synagogues were ransacked
- 1936–1939 Arab revolt - uprising by Arabs in Mandate Palestine against British colonial rule and Jewish immigrationAmin
Al-Husseini is main organizer of riots. He organizes suicide squads against the local
authorities. Applies Nazi methodology of “systematic extermination” of
any Arab suspected of less than total loyalty to Pan-Islamic vision of Muslim
Brotherhood
- January 1941 - Al-Husseini asks Hitler for
a statement recognizing: 1) the independence of the Arab states from British
and French colonial rule; 2) the right of the independent Arab states to form a
union; and 3) the right of the independent Arab authorities in Palestine to
eliminate the proposed Jewish homeland there.
- April 1941 - Al-Husseini participates in
a pro-Axis coup in Iraq. The new government, under Rashid 'Ali al-Kailani,
deploys Al-Husseini as the key contact to
the Axis powers.
- May 1941 - Germany begins to supply Al-Husseini,
now in Baghdad, with payments to foment an uprising in Palestine.
- May 1941 - Al-Husseini issues a fatwa in a radio speech from Baghdad,
calling Muslims to engage in a holy war against Great Britain.

- June 1941 - As pro-British Iraqi troops enter Baghdad, Iraqi civilians
perpetrate a pogrom, known as the Farhud,
on the Jewish citizens of Baghdad. After 128 Jews are killed and 210 injured,
British troops restore order.
- July 1941 - The German Abwehr establishes a German-Arab Training Department
at a base near Athens, Greece, to train Arab volunteers for service as auxiliaries
in the German Wehrmacht.
- October 1941 - Al-Husseini meets with
Benito Mussolini, the Duce (Leader) of Fascist Italy. Mussolini
agrees to a joint Axis statement along the lines of Al-Husseini's proposal to
Hitler.
- November 28, 1941 - Adolf Hitler receives Al-Husseini in Berlin, a meeting covered
by the German press. The Führer declines to issue any public
declaration or conclude an agreement with Al-Husseini
regarding his January 1941 requests.
- Early 1942 - In collaboration with the Axis powers Al-Husseini begins developing themes for radio
and print propaganda directed primarily at the Arab and Muslim world.
- July 1942 - Al-Husseini proposes a pan-Arab centre in newly occupied Egypt
to produce and disseminate propaganda, to carry out sabotage operations and
incite rebellions behind British lines, and to train Arab regulars as the core
of a liberating Arab army under Al-Husseini's control. The Germans and the
Italians reject this concept.
- Late September 1942 - Al-Husseini again proposes a pan-Arab centre, this time in
Tunis, to direct propaganda in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. The Axis powers
reject the plan.
- December 1942 - At the opening of the Central Islamic Institute in Berlin, Al-Husseini
denounces the Jews as the bitterest enemies of Islam. He accuses the Jews of
provoking nations against each other and unleashing World War II. He calls on
Muslims to liberate themselves from enemy persecution. Nazi propagandists
provide major coverage of the opening and of Al-Husseini's remarks. His speech
is broadcast from Germany to the Middle East on December 23, 1942.
- February 1943 - Hitler agrees to create the 13th Waffen-SS Mountain Division, later also known as
"Handschar." Reichsführer-SS (SS chief)Heinrich Himmler authorizes recruitment of Bosnian
Muslims for the division. In March and April, the SS Main Office sends Al-Husseini
to assist in recruitment efforts.
- May-June 1943 - Al-Husseini writes to the Bulgarian, German, Italian,
Hungarian, and Romanian governments, demanding they not participate in British
efforts to transfer Jewish children from Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria to
Palestine. He suggests the children be sent to Poland (extermination camps).
The Germans had already taken steps to halt the transports in March and April
of 1943.
- July 1943 - The SS establish an Imam training school to prepare chaplains
for the 13th Waffen-SS Mountain Division. Al-Husseini tells
the trainees that Muslims would "never have a better or more loyal ally
than the Greater German Reich."

the "Handschar" Division, in western Croatia and northeastern Bosnia.

announces the formation of an Arab-Muslim army (to be composed of Arab and
Muslim volunteers and Muslim and Arab soldiers serving in Axis forces) to
counter the Jewish Brigade Group in the British army.
- November 1959 - Al-Husseini addresses a secret memorandum to the leaders of all
Arab states advocating Arab unity against "Jewish aggression and
imperialism" and denouncing the partition of Palestine.
The Legacy
Fast forward to 1969 and the PLO is headed by a man named
Rahman Abdul Rauf al-Qudwa al-Husseini. Al-Husseini was a nephew and
great admirer of Uncle Haj Amin al-Husseini. He was born in Cairo in 1929 and
grew up in the Gaza strip. His mother, Hamida, was a cousin of the Grand Mufti.
Due to internal Arab strife, his father Abdul Rauf al-Qudwa was forced to flee
Gaza where the family took refuge in Egypt.
Al-Husseini's cousin is Faisal al-Husseini who is
the grandson of Haj Amin al-Husseini and the PLO representative in Jerusalem
who directed attacks on the Jews praying at the Western Wall. When Rahman Abdul
Rauf al-Qudwa al-Husseini enrolled at the University of Cairo in 1951, he
decided to conceal his true identity and registered under the name "Yasser
Arafat."
Al Hajj Amin Husseini has passed his hatred of
Jews to his nephew Yasser Arafat who has passed the same legacy of hatred to
the next generation of young Arabs, innocent Palestinians have been indoctrinated
with messages of hatred and anti-Semitism.
Yasser Arafat was interviewed by Al Sharq Al Awsat
(London Arabic Daily) and reprinted in Palestinian daily Al Quds on August 2,
2002:
“We are not Afghanistan… We are
the mighty people. Were they able to replace our hero Hajj Amin
Al-Husseini?… There were a number of attempts to get rid of Hajj Amin, when
they considered him an ally of the Nazis. But even so, he lived in Cairo, and
participated in the 1948 War and I was one of his troops.”
