Chuck Morse skillfully managed to bridge the gap between the period of pre-WWII to today's Islamic Terrorism. It a short book of 128 pages and with notes and appendices it contains 171 pages. In this limited number of pages we're given to understand how Haj Amin Al Husseini managed to convince the Bosnian Muslims to join the SS fight not only in the Balkans where they slaughtered both Jews and Serbs but they also joined the Nazis to fight in Russia. Thus, we are led slowly to understand that the current Palestinian Jewish war hand nothing to do with the current Israeli occupation and everything to do with Muslim's hatred of Jews. How did Al Husseini accomplish it? I've used some of his writing in this summery as to motivated the readers to search to expend their understanding of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood and of course of ISIS.
The Jewish pogrom and riots of 1929 targeted the Jewish communities of Jerusalem, Motza, Hebron, Safed, Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa, as well as Jews living in the countryside. Hebron slaughter in particular with a banishment of the entire Jewish community of Hebron. The British forcibly evacuated the Jews to Jerusalem. In December of 1931, Al-Husseini, having further tightened his grip over Palestine and after having increased his influence in the Islamic world as a organized and chaired what was called the All- Islamic Conference in Jerusalem, an event that would further burnish his image as a leader of all Arabs and Muslims. In attendance at the conference were pan-Arab leaders and representatives from various pans of the Arab and Muslim world including Tunisian Muslim leader Abd al-Aziz al-Tha'alibi, Indian Muslim leader Shawkat Ali, and Bosnian Muslim leaders Mehmed Spaho, the head of the Yugoslav Muslim Organization or JMO, Uzeiraga Hadzihasanovic, and hadzi-M ujaga Merhemic among others. The all-Islamic conference declared al-Husseini as president for life, which propelled him into further orbits of Arab and Islamic politics.
Sami al-Joundi, a founder of the Syrian Ba'ath movement, wrote: ('We were racists. 'We admired the' Nazis. We were immersed in reading Nazi literature and books that were the source of the Nazi spirit. We were the first who thought of a translation of Mein Kampf. The Arab-Muslim concept of ummah or motherland has striking similarity to the Nazi concept of fatherland. The Arab-Muslim concept of the Caliph is similar to the Nazi concept of the Fuhrer, The Arab Muslim concept of sharia is the equivalent of the Nazi concept of a centralized and hyper-nationalistic government controlling the rights of the people. Jihad is of a similar nature to blitzkrieg. Dar el- Islam is similar to the Thousand Year Reich.
Approximately 100,000 European Muslims would be recruited and would fight for Nazi Germany during the course of the war. Morse states that this astonishing fact of history is recorded as barely a footnote in the published historiography of the War. Pavelić, the Croat leader, arranged for the creation of a semi-autonomous Muslim Bosnia within Croatia and sent al-Husseini to Sarajevo to begin recruiting for the Thirteenth Waffen SS Hangar and other Muslim divisions such as the Kama. On March 4, 1944, al-Husseini delivered a speech from Berlin where he exhorted the Muslim Hangar SS troops, of whom he referred to in the broadcast as the "cream of Islam" to "kill the Jews wherever you find them." He also asserted that, "This pleases Allah, History and Religion, Allah is with you." In post-war testimony at Nuremberg, Dieter Wisliceny, Adolf Eichmann's deputy, who would himself be convicted of war crimes and executed by the allies stated, "The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and advisor of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan...
After the WWII Tito desired to unite all the ethnic and religious groups, excluding the Jews, under the banner of communism. To achieve his objective he needed the Muslim to join his coalition, he swept under the rug their cruelty not only towards the Jews but also against the Serb. The Jews he sent to Palestine, hoping that the crimes committed by the Muslims would be forgotten. The non-communist Croats he ostracized for remaining loyal Catholics.
