1. Icon of Evil: Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam
(Unabridged)
In the 1920s Hajj Amin-al-Husseini was the political and spiritual leader of the
Palestinian Arabs. A vicious anti-Semite, he led numerous pogroms against Jewish
settlers. During World War II, al-Husseini allied himself and his people with Hitler: he
lived in Germany, met with Hitler, encouraged "the final solution", and became close
friends with Himmler and other Nazis.After the war, al-Husseini escaped (he would
certainly have been convicted at Nuremberg for war crimes) and fled to Egypt. His
standing only rose, and in Egypt he was instrumental in fomenting Nazi-style
anti-Semitic propaganda there. He also became the mentor to a new generation of
radical "Islamo-fascist" Arab leaders. Foremost among them: Yasser Arafat.
