Jew-hatred in the Islamic Middle East is at tremendous heights, and stands as a major obstacle to peace. How many know, however, that it was Hitler's man in Jerusalem, the old Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who was most directy responsible for stoking the fires of Jew-hatred through his intimate connections with the Nazi regime. One of the big war-criminals who participated in the Jewish Holocaust, organizer of the Hansar Division of Muslim Nazis (with swastikas on their Fez hats) who enthusiastically slaughtered Jews, Gypsies and Serbs in the Balkans, who later organized coups against the British in Iraq, and fled with many old Nazis after the war to various Islamic nations, which welcomed them with open arms. Escaping the Nuremburg war crimes trials, and the hangman's noose, after the war years Al-Husseini went on to manipulate Middle East politics from behind the curtain -- always with the goal towards extermination of the remaining Jewish populations. Yasser Arafat was one of his minions, as was Nasser of Egypt, who filled his ranks with old SS officers who had escaped from Germany. Goebbels uebermensche anti-Jewish propaganda, circulated widely in Europe and the Middle East, was adopted by the Islamist and Palestinian terror groups, and today the same old recycled Nazi lies are being spread by mainstream Arab and Muslim news sources. This stands as a major obstacle to peace, but it is one which Western journalists are more likely to be ignorant of, or to be willfully disbelieving about. An incredible history is summarized in this book by Chuck Morse, facts which rarely get into the standard histories of the Middle East, or of Europe, due to a widespread emotional "blind spot" (or willful lies of omission) which seems to persist into this day, where Islamic fanatics are so often given a "free pass", allowing Jews to continually be misportrayed as the source of the world's evil. With Americans increasingly being cast as "The Devil" by the Islamists, taking on the same role as scapegoat as was historically reserved for the Jews, these facts of history need more attention, not less, and after 9-11 we ignore this material at our peril.

Haj Amin al-Husseini represented the opposite of the noble Emir Faisal Ibn Husein, the enlightened Arab King of Hejaz who had cordial relations with Chaim Weizmann and wanted to achieve a peaceful Middle East with co-operation between Jew and Arab.

Unfortunately Al-Husseini's ideology of hatred won out. As Grand Mufti of Jerusalem he spearheaded the imperialistic or utopian strain of Islam that has turned into a modern hydra. In 1920 he organised the murder of Jews who were praying at the Wailing Wall, and he never looked back. Throughout the rest of his time in Palestine he furthered his murderous designs because of the British policy of appeasement, with further campaigns in 1929 and from 1936.

In the 1930s Al-Husseini became a proponent of Hitler, eventually settling in Berlin where he encouraged the annihilation of European Jews and planned to become the leader of the Arab world in expectation of an Axis victory. He unceasingly promoted the Holocaust and Nazism amongst the Arabs. This strain of Nazism was a blend of National Socialism and fundamentalist Islam that would make deep inroads into the Arab world.

After the war Al-Husseini fled to Cairo where was instrumental in accommodating fleeing Nazis and organising for the destruction of Israel. The hatred of Israel now took on a Leftist flavour as the Soviet Union became the champion of the Arab cause. Arab leaders like Gamal Abdel Nasser, Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat were all influenced by his hateful ideas.

Al-Husseini did not only target Jews, but also moderate Arabs and the free West in general. Nazism was the spiritual and physical bridge by which Islamic extremism became prominent in the Arab world. He introduced the demented belief that utopia could be achieved on earth by the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Jews.

This malevolent Islamo-Fascism is the cause of much of the misery in the Arab world today and at the root of the hatred of non-Muslims, particularly the United States and Israel. In this, the extremists are assisted by international leftists. The Western democracies are now tasting the fruit of a decades long policy of appeasement towards this odious movement and its demonic founder.

But there is still a chance that the legacy of Emir Faisal might prevail, although recent developments in France and Europe as a whole do not look promising. Al-Husseini was without doubt one of the most evil personalities of the 20th century as meticulously documented in this revealing book.

Plenty of black and white photographs enhance the text, illustrating Al-Husseini's meetings with Nazi and Arab leaders, and of Bosnian Muslim brigades in World War II.

There are nine indices with documentary evidence of the historical narrative. Appendix A is the Balfour Declaration of 1917, B provides excerpts of the correspondence of King Faisal, C is the Weizmann-Faisal Agreement of 1919, D provides a dialogue between Lord Peel and Husseini from the Palestine Royal Commission Report.

Appendix E gives the minutes of a meeting between Hitler and Al-Husseini, F is an excerpt from the diary of Al-Husseini on his meeting with Hitler, G is a letter in which he asks the Hungarian government to send 1000 Jews to their death in Poland instead of allowing them to escape to Israel, H is his address to Arab-Americans and I is the Palestine National Covenant that denies the right of Israel to exist.

The text concludes with a moving prayer for the state of Israel by the Chief Rabbinate. It is a prayer that all true Christians would do well to heed and incorporate into their worship in these trying times. The book concludes with notes, an index and biographical information on the author.

I also recommend The Other War: Israelis, Palestinians and the Struggle for Media Supremacy by Stephanie Gutmann, Our Hands Are Stained with Blood by Michael l Brown, Dream Palace Of The Arabs by Fouad Ajami, Israel: Life in the Shadow of Terror by Nechemia Coopersmith, Myths And Facts by Mitchell G Bard and Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam And The American Left by David Horowitz.

Peace: The Arabian Caricature of Anti-Semitic Imagery

A very informative and revealing book on the role that Al-Husseini played in bringing about the dangerous situation in which we, in all the world, are living today. It leaves many questions unanswered, though, like: how or why the British, and later the French, favored this psycho so unashamedly. The crimes of this devilish man being left unpunished -even covered-up- claim for an explanation that is not offered here.

About 130 pages of fast and furious read. Very relevant to understand today's crisis between the suicidal West and the paranoid Muslim world. It has some very good analyses of the Palestinian conflict. It covers many issues related to the terrorism suffered by Israel thru the personal observation of relevant figures, not only Al-Husseini.

A book covering the whole 20th century, and practically the whole world geographically.

The Holocaust denial that is emerging in some parts of the West is a clear sign (as referred to in page 100) of more trouble on the horizon.

Do you still not know that God will bless those who bless Israel, for truly it is His people? So, also, he will crunch those who mistreat her.
Things pass slowly but surely. This short book gives a tremendous global view of what really matters in the world today. Capture the vision.

In 1919, the international community saw the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement, an agreement between the King of Iraq (Faisal) and the eventual president of the World Zionist Organization (Weizmann) that set reasonable conditions for mutual recognition of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and an adjacent Arab Nation. Today, a large number of Middle Eastern nations refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist. Ever wonder what happened? This book offers a significant piece of the puzzle.

This book focuses on the Grand Mufti of Palestine, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, and his influence in funneling anti-semitic, Nazi propaganda into the Middle East. From reading this book, you will learn about Al-Husseini's frequent meetings with the Nazis, including Adolf Hitler, Al-Husseini's push for extermination of the Jews and his responsibility for disseminating volumes of ludicrous Zionist conspiracy theories into the Middle East. You will also learn about Al-Husseini's significant influence on Yasser Arafat and former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

The appendix of this book also contains a number of historical documents, including meeting transcripts, letters of correspondence and other relevant documents such as the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement and the Balfour Declaration.

I have a few complaints about this book. First, it is too short. Second, there are many egregious spelling errors, which is very unprofessional. Most importantly, although I think Morse has made a compelling case to argue al-Husseini's influence on the modern anti-Israel facet of Islamic terrorism, I think he overlooks the most significant driving force behind Islamic terrorism: religious fundamentalism. Unfortunately, this is a common oversight of many religious conservatives, who often seem too overzealous in identifying secular roots for acts of terrorism.

Overall, this book is an important chapter in the ideological origins of Islamic Terrorism.

This well written book scrutinizes the story of Haj Amin al-Husseini and how his influence has allegedly resulted in Islamo-fascism and Jihad terrorism becoming the dominant political philosophies in the Arab world. The reader being shown how Nazism took root in the Islamic world through the untiring efforts of al-Hussein, the former Mufti of Jerusalem.

Initial coverage of al-Husseini's life demonstrates his involvement in instigating the first large-scale pogrom against the Jews in Palestine during 1920, illustrated by the writer as the first wholesale slaughter of Jews in the Arab world for hundreds of years. Al-Husseini is also cited as being culpable for the instigation of further violence against the Jews in Palestine, whilst simultaneously being responsible for what is called the brutal purging and assassination of any Arab who dared to oppose him.

Subsequently being appointed by the British as the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, is shown to have been the mentor to a more modern personage, who also shared his family name and who, it is described, is believed to have been his nephew. The individual concerned was born in Cairo in 1929 and named Muhammad Abdel Rahman Abdel Rauf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini - better known as Yasser Arafat.

The Mufti's sympathy and embracing of the philosophy and goals of the Third Reich is covered with reference to the meetings between al-Husseini and Nazi leaders such as Hitler himself, Adolf Eichman and von Ribbontrop.

Living in Berlin throughout the Second World War, the book reveals how al-Husseini was allowed to live in the luxurious surroundings of a mansion confiscated from a wealthy Jew and how he was set by the Nazis as a virtual head of a Nazi-Muslim government in exile. Access being granted to him to the "sonderfund" which constituted property and money confiscated from European Jews en-route to the concentration camps.

Also documented is the role al-Husseini allegedly played in the recruiting/training of Muslim divisions in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia, together with his cited radio transmissions to the Arab world which included some of the most "blood curdling anti-Jewish statements and propaganda in history".

The study shows how Hitler allegedly promised al-Husseini, in explicit terms, that following the final solution of the Jews in Europe, the Nazi regime would assist al-Husseini in implementing a final solution against the Jews of Palestine and eventually the entire Arab world itself.

As a result of Hitler's subsequent defeat, and faced with promises that would henceforth fail to materialise, the book shows how al-Husseini fled to Cairo where he remained as a guest of King Farouk and General Abdel Gamal Nasser. Remaining in Cairo for the remainder of his "career", al-Husseini is cited as helping with the settlement of Nazi war criminals in the Arab world and devoting his energies towards the "destruction of the state of Israel".

The author detailing how in post war Cairo, al-Husseini established himself as a key player in transferring Hitler's program of genocide against the Jews into the Middle East itself, with a platform being provided within the ensuing Arab-Israeli conflict.

The contention within this book is that al-Husseini always insisted that Palestine should be rendered virtually "Judenrein" (free of Jews) and adamantly refused to recognise any national rights for the Jews following the re-birth of Israel in 1948.

The study elaborating that al-Husseini's cited intransigent position remains within the Arab world to this day, as a mainstay and driving force amongst radical Arab/Islamic elements which is described as possibly being a "seamless continuation and an extension of the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews of Europe".

The Mufti's activities in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe are depicted as having set the stage for today's Islamic terrorism, where the cited mind-set and world-view are described as having many similarities with totalitarian fascism.

Many will disagree with such observations but the evidence provided reveals a disturbing case to answer.

Numerous photographs are provided along with detailed references which even include the minutes of the meeting of al-Husseini with Adolf Hitler himself during 1941, together with extracts from al-Husseini's diary pertaining to this meeting.

The book culminates with the personal thoughts of the writer in relation to the present day peace process in the Middle East, where he describes that, after studying the issues presented within this work, his hopes and prayers for "peace" are mixed with more than a "healthy dose of skepticism".

For those , like myself , who are sick and tired of the hate-filled international campaign to destroy Israel , and anihilate her people , this informative and fascinating book provides an exploration of the roots of Palestinianism and anti-Israel hatred.
It outlines how the ongoing genocide against the Jews of Israel is in fact a continuation of the Nazi holocaust against the Jews of Europe.

Chuck Morse traces the story of Haj amin al-Husseini , the founder of the Palestinian
Movement , and ally and friend of Adolf Hitler , and a key player in the holocaust Against the Jews
Al-Husseini , the Mufti of Jerusalem , was a vicious enemy of the
Jewish people , in the tradition of Amalek , Haman , Torquemada , Chmielniki , and of course Hitler. His legacy continues today in the PLO , Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades ,
PFLP , Hamas , Islamic Jihad , Hezbollah , Al Qaida , and the regimes of Syria , Libya
And Iran , as well as the supporters of the genocidal hate campaign against Israel on the International Left , and some on the Far Right (like Pat Buchanan and David Duke).

60 years after the Nazi holocaust , anti-Jewish hatred reached another climax at the hideous anti-Israel hate fest , the United Nations Conference on Racism , in Durban , South Africa , where the Left demonstrated their common cause with Radical Islam ,
By embracing hateful anti-Zionist propaganda , and feverishly supporting the genocidal Program against Israel.

This evil festival of terror and hate in Durban 2001 , was the lowest point in human history , since the Nazi holocaust , and may a stain of shame always stay by the names of those who organized and facilitated this event.

Haj Amin al-Husseini was born in Jerusalem , in 1895 , and fought in the Ottoman Trurkish Army , against the British , during the First World War. In 1919 , he established a secret Moslem Youth Group , al-Nadi al-Arabi , which organized violence against the British , the Jews of Palestine , and moderate Moslems.
In March , 1920 , al-Husseini instigated attacks against innocent Jews praying at the Western Wall , in Jerusalem , followed by anti-Jewish pogroms by armed Arab gangs in Jaffa , Rehovot , Petach Tikva , and other Jewish towns
In 1922 , al-Husseini was appointed Grand Mufti of Jerusalem by the British. He organized a reign of terror against moderate Moslems who showed any sign of accepting the Jews , and in 1929 organized further pogroms agianst Jews in Jerusalem , Motza , Hebron , Safed , Haifa , Tel Aviv and Jaffa , as well as Jews living in the countryside. The ancient Jewish community of Hebron was destroyed.
After the massacre of the Hebron Jews , al-Husseini disseminated photos of the slaughtered Jewish corpses with the claim that the dead where actaully Arabs killed by Jews!
This type of blood-libel is today frequently used against Israel by the Palestinian Authority together with the Axis of the Islamists and the International Left , and is widely dissmeninated in the media and universities worldwide. As Morse points out : " The preposterous and quite bizzare proposition prsented today is that the State of Israel and it's armed forces are deliberately and knowingly killing innocent Palestinian Arabs. Such propaganda ,serves the same purpose today as it did in the time ofal-Husseini, not to mention mediaeval times , namely as a means of fanning the flames and hatred , and stoking the fires of genocide against the Jews.

After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 , Al-Husseini proceeded to set up a Palestinian Arab Youth Group , known as the Nazi Scouts. In addition , Arab organizations modelled on the Nazi Party where set up in Egypt , Algeria, Tunisia , Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.
In August , 1995 a graduating class of Palestinian Authority cadets , who would later engage in the mass slaughter of Jewish men , women and children , marked the occasion with a Nazi style straight Sieg Heil salute. Fawzi Salim al-Mahdi , a commander of Fatah's Force 17 , Arafat's elite Praetorian Guard , which would play a key role in suicide bombings , was known as Abu Hitler , because he named his two sons Eichmann and Hitler.
In 1936 , al-Husseini made contact with the German Nazis , and with their backing launched the Arab revolt , in which thousands of Jews where butchered to the chlling cry of `Itbach al Yahud' - `Kill the Jews'. In 1937 , al Husseini met with Adolf Eichmann , in a cordial meeting , that would cement the al-Husseini-Hitler Alliance. Eichmann reported glowingly of the `national and racial conscience' among the Arabs of Palestine who hung swastikas and portaraits of Hitler in their homes.

That year the mufti fled from the British to Lebanon , and thence to Iraq. After organizing a failed pro-Nazi coup in Iraq , al-Husseini fled to Nazi Germany , where he was installed as a guest of honour , who frequently met with Hitler , and was present at the 1942 Wannsee conference where the `Final Solution' to the Jewish question was adopted. Al-Husseini organized SS Brigades of Moslems from the Caucuses , the Middle East and Bosnia , including the infamous Hansar Brigades of Bosnian Moslems , which killed thousands of Serbs , Roma and Jews. He is reported to have visited Auschwitz and urged the SS guards there to be more dilligent in their work of extermination. In 1943 , he interceded with the Hungarian authorities to prevent to prevent 900 Jewish children from being shipped to Palestine. The children where instead sent to Auschwitz , where they perished.

After World War II , al-Husseini escaped to Egypt , and organized the Arab war effort to destroy the tiny fledgling State of Israel. He formed a band of Arab terrorists , called the Jihad Muqqadas , who launched attacks on Jewish civillians. Until his death in 1974 , after which his shoes where filled by his nephew Yasser Arafat , al-Husseini continued to devote his life to the destruction of Israel. The evil of al-Husseini and Hitler lives on , in the terror and propaganda war against Israel. Perhaps the idea of Jews living as a free and prosperous people in their own land is what fuels the rage of those who hate Israel.

May God bless and protect Israel , and scatter and destroy all those who hate Israel.

This is an important book for many reasons, especially for providing one especially significant and important aspect concerning the origin of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The author's thesis is that Al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem, successfully merged his Islamic fundamentalism with the theology of Hitler's National Socialism. He supported the final solution in Europe, rallied Muslim troops to support and perpetuate the final solution, planned to import the Holocaust to the Middle East, and influenced future Arab generations. As a historian, the author pulls together many esoteric events (such as the Weizmann-Faisal peace agreement)that may surprise those who thought they knew the history pretty well. Morse illustrates how one individual can spread enmity and hate for thousands across generations. Recommended for those who want to gain more insight.

Author would do better if he was not so repetitive. Still it is worth reading as one realizes that Islamic Terrorism is not a new thing starting in recent years, but has deep historical antecedents.

I have been reading and studying a multitude of books on the Middle East Conflict since the early 70's but this is the book that has really hit the nail on the head. I agree with the author of this book that the Weizmann-Faisal Agreement (Appendix C) should have been - and yet still should be - regarded as an International Treaty concerning Palestine.

I knew Haj Amin al-Husseini's grandson in Jerusalem when I lived there during the 1970's and he used to talk about how Haj had been the spokesperson for the Palestinian people. I had no definite idea, until I read this book, that the underlying Palestinian political agenda is clearly and truly shown, by referenced documents, to be a One-Nation Arab Muslim Palestinian State - to be achieved via the displacement (and possible destruction) of the Jewish people (with who knows what for the quarter million or so Christian Palestinians still living there.) This, as the author explains, was clearly shown in recorded conversations between Adolf Hitler and Amin al-Husseini when Husseini was promised the position of Fuhrer of the Middle East in return for the Jewish ethnic cleansing of the Balkans and later again by Husseini's statements at the Peel Commission in 1939 and re-emphasised by Yasser Arafat via the Palestinian National Covenant of 1964.

This book shows, by referenced material, that again and again, the Palestinians have refused all offers of a solution to the Palestinian question, firstly, via Partition and later, via the West Bank - the Peel Commission White Paper of 1939 (Haj Amin al-Husseini) and the Camp David Summit of 2000 (Barak and Arafat) clearly prove this point. The only solution that Haj Amin al-Husseini, as the Palestinian spokesperson, had been keen to promote was the One State Solution - that of Arab Muslim dominance, which is why no success on the issue has been achieved to date.

The author asserts that Maybe Israel should stop making conciliatory offers and innuendoed apologies and, instead, stick only to asking focused and specific questions of the Palestinian leadership about exactly what it is that the Palestinian people want and expect? Let the Palestinian spokespersons come to the table with their prepared submissions and lay it all out as they see it, so that the whole world can clearly see the official Palestinian position. There appears to be numerous Palestinian positions and these need to be consolidated into one. It would be reasonable to say, in this respect, that until the Palestinian leadership can agree on what they actually want, that they really don't have the right to expect Israel and the ROTW to play the role of mind readers.

The author of this book presents much evidence here, referenced material that, as he says, has been widely overlooked in the past. I truly believe that any sincere student on the ME Conflict cannot afford to overlook the evidence that is presented in this book. It certainly changed the shape of the horizon for me.

This has got to be one of the most important books on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

In buying this book, I was afraid I might find an extremist counter perspective on the matter, full of unfounded claims or even invectives. But I am happy to say that (to my shame) Chuck gives a very evidential and historical, matter-of-fact treatment of the subject of the Nazi underpinnings of modern day Islamic extremism. Not only that, it becomes evident in the historical revelations of al-Husseini's letters to Eichmann, to the pro-Nazi foreign ministers of Romania and Hungaria, et. al. that al-Insseini was more anti-semitic and more directly responsible for the numbers of victims exterminated, than were even Eichmann and others generally considered more directly responsible for the holocaust. To this day, if you discuss the world economy with virtually any Middle Eastern Islamist, their first lament is the problems of their society and of the world on the whole are the direct result of Jewry and "the Jewish conspiracy" - a stance unheard of prior to al-Husseini's indoctrinations, and his exterminations of people of his own religion who opposed him. In fact in cicra 1939-41 alone, al-Husseini murdered more Muslims who opposed his radical, anti-Semite views, than he did the Christians and Jews murdered by him combined, in the same period. Well done Chuck - VERY inciteful. It's always good to know your enemy, and you've done a great job filling us in on what most Muslims themselves do not know.

BTW - I am writing this after just having watched a Muslim-garbed TSA woman walk past me in Philadelphia airport. What next Homeland Security - Jose Fernandez of Los Zetas to head up the DEA, or perhaps Jesus "Pablo" Medina-Nevarez can help run INS?? "PC before common sense" - U.S. gov't. Oh well, some day every knee shall bow.
