Hitler And The Mufti: The Connection To Today’s Islamic Terrorism
Tweet
The historic Nazi connection to today’s Islamic terrorism is Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem. He became a Nazi agent after meeting Adolf Eichmann, an architect of the Holocaust, in the Palestine Mandate in 1937. With Nazi funds he organized the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 which led to the British stopping Jewish immigration to the Palestine Mandate. This facilitated the “Final Solution” by closing off the avenue of refuge. In 1941, the mufti orchestrated a short-lived, Nazi-backed generals’ coup in Iraq.
The Iraq coup was followed by the Farhud, a pogrom against Baghdad’s Jews, an event viewed by Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews as comparable to the German “Kristallnacht.” The Mufti obtained Hitler’s assurance in November 1941 that after dealing with the Jews of Europe, Hitler would treat the Jews of the Middle East similarly.
