Too Many People Think Islamicfacism Is A New Phenomona..

The Grand Mufti With Hitler In 1941

.....and that labelling them "nazis" is wrong.

Jeffery Ewener writes in Sunday's Cherranna Star,

"These days the slur du jour — and it's hard to pick up a paper or turn on the news without hearing somebody whip it at somebody else — is "Nazi."

The latest whipper was Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day. He said that comparing Hezbollah to the Nazis — as his caucus colleague Jason Kenney did this month — was a "straight historic analogy.

Thus, an Islamic denomination distinguished by its adherents' minority position on the acceptable principle of caliphic succession 1,400 years ago is equated with a 20th-century anti-communist totalitarian movement with its roots in European social Darwinism, pseudo-scientific race theories, and the long, ugly, and peculiarly Christian tradition of anti-Semitism. (Hot damn! What an awesome display of intellect!) Mr. Day insisted, "The historic comparison is clear.

Well, nobody seems worried now! Thanks to the herd instinct of politicians everywhere, the insult "Nazi" is firmly in the public domain. You can throw it at your spouse or your co-worker, maybe when they diss your favourite TV show."

I am not a fan of labels, which is popular tactic of the left, but the facts speak for themselves. This present reign of terror is not something new and while I am not a middle east scholar it is evident that there are Islamic leaders preaching the same rhetoric as Mugniyah, Nasrallah, Fadlallah and Ahmadinejad and they take their lead from the Grand Mufti in the 40s.....

Muhammed Amin al-Husseini [many spelling variations] was born in 1893 (or 1895), the son of the Mufti of Jerusalem and member of an esteemed, aristocratic family. The Husseinis were one of the richest and most powerful of all the rivalling clans in the Ottoman province known as the Judaean part of Palestine.

Amin al-Husseini studied religious law at al-Azhar University, Cairo, and attended the Istanbul School of Administration. In 1913 he went to Mecca on a pilgrimage, earning the honorary title of "Haj". He voluntarily joined the Ottoman Turkish army in World War I but returned to Jerusalem in 1917 and expediently switched sides to aid the victorious British. He acquired the reputation as a violent, fanatical anti-Zionist zealot and was jailed by the British for instigating a 1920 Arab attack against Jews who were praying at the Western Wall.

The first Palestine High Commissioner. Sir Herbert Samuel arrived in Palestine on July 1, 1920. He was a weak administrator who was too ready to compromise and appease the extremist, nationalistic Arab minority led by Haj Amin al-Husseini. When the existing Arab Mufti of Jerusalem (religious leader) died in 1921, Samuels was influenced by anti-Zionist British officials on his staff. He pardoned al-Husseini and, in January 1922, appointed him as the new Mufti, and even invented a new title of Grand Mufti. He was simultaneously made President of a newly created Supreme Muslim Council. Al-Husseini thereby became the religious and political leader of the Arabs.

The appointment of the young al-Husseini as Mufti was a seminal event. Prior to his rise to power, there were active Arab factions supporting cooperative development of Palestine involving Arabs and Jews. But al-Husseini would have none of that; he was devoted to driving Jews out of Palestine, without compromise, even if it set back the Arabs 1000 years.
