Young Muslim Men's Association - YMMA, Nazism and Jihad (1930s)

The folllowing piece of history by the German historian M. Kuntzel, will give you an idea of:

Nazism in political Islam such as the "Muslim Brotherhood," (aka Islamofascism).

How Jihad against the west (then British) is usually accompanied by (anti-Jewish racism, bigotry) anti-Semitism.

The story of the "first bombs placed in Jewish homes, synagogues in the 1930's.

The Young Men's Muslim Association YMMA - enthusiastic fascism and jihad.

The self sacrifice martyrdom jihad to "save al-Aqsa mosque."

How the grand Mufti - Hitler's collaborator - boosted up the Muslim Brotherhood's Jihad.

The self sacrifice martyrdom jihad to "save al-Aqsa mosque."

The idea of "Solidarity with Arab Palestine" as part of violent Jihad.

Paramilitary rallies by the pro-fascist Young Egypt movement founded in 1933, the Young Men’s Muslim Association (YMMA) and the Muslim Brotherhood increasingly dominant the street-scene, announcing...

In October 1933, when the Jewish-led anti-German boycott movement was still going strong, the Cairo Nazi group discussed the reasons for the failure of their anti-Jewish campaign to date. How could “the broad masses” be awakened to an understanding of the “Jewish threat?” In their report to the Foreign Office in Berlin they drew the conclusion that the value of publicity campaigns “for the creation of an anti- Jewish mood among the Arab population is relatively small” and that “we must therefore focus far more on the point where real conflicts of interest between Arabs and Jews exist: Palestine. The conflict between Arabs and Jews there must be transplanted to Egypt.”

p. 21
In April 1936 the Mufti called for an Arab general strike... “Arab revolt of 1936-39.”

This strike gave the Muslim Brothers the green light to launch their first fanatical solidarity campaign, in which the idea of jihad was linked to the clashes in Palestine. Only now did the Brotherhood become a mass organization, growing between 1936 abd 1938 from 800 to 200,000 members.

In May 1936 the Muslim Brothers called for a boycott of the Business of Egyptian Jews. The Central Comittee for Aid to Palestine established by Al-Banna developed into the Brotherhood’s stronghold and the centre of its new mission. Pro-Palestinian fund-raising and anti-Jewish boycott campaigns, leafleting and demonstrations were now organized. In mosques, schools and workplaces the Brotherhood worked out the believers with the legend that the Jews and British wished to destroy the holy places of Jerusalem and tear up the Koran
and trample it underfoot. Yet initially these activities encountered strong opposition precisely among the Egyptian religious establishement...
met with a lot of resistance on the part of the mosque imams, who tried to stop them physically or have (p. 22) them taken to the police station... the Al-Azhar mosque-university, whose rector, Mustafa al-Maragi, forbade his Palestinian students from indulging in any anti-Jewish ...

p. 23
The Muslim Brothers’ campaign struck a different note. “On violent student demonstrations in Cairo, Alexandria and Tanta in April and May 1938 calls such as “down with the Jews”, “Jews out of Egypt and Palestine” rang out...... Leaflets reiterated calls for a boycott of Jewish shops and business.” At the same time its newspaper, al-Nadhir, ran a regular column with the title “the threat of the Jews in Egypt” in which the names and addresses of Jewish business propritetors and the owners of allegedly Jewish newspapers all over the world were published and all evil - from Communism to brothels - was attributed to the “Jewish threat.”

An Appeal was made to young Egyptians to wear and consume only Islamic products and to prepare themselves in all parts of Egypt for jihad in defence of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Al-Nadhir called on children to give up their presents “for Palestine,” while their mothers were to sacrifice their very selves. “I shall carry my life in my own hands and offer it as a sacrifice on the altar in defence of the Holy Place in order to win the honour of jihad” boasted one female fanatic in the paper. In 1939 the first bombs were placed in a Cairo synagogue and Jewish private homes.

These anti-Jewish excesses were by then supported by other Islamist organizations such as the Young Men’s Muslims Association (YMMA)..

They're learning...they're watching...they're seeing that our own EEO laws will help them with Jihad faster than violence.

We are so stupid to not stand up to this rabble....

Young terrorist, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, young terrorist, place IEDs in the ground.
I said, young terrorist, ‘cause there’s soldiers in town
There’s no need to be unhappy.

Young terrorist, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young terrorist, when you want blood to flow.
You can stay there, and I’m sure you will thrill
To learn many ways to kill.

It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-M-A.
To saw off heads at the Y-M-M-A.

They have everything that you need to build bombs,
You can hang out with all the Imams...

It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-M-A.
To saw off heads at the Y-M-M-A.

Since Ground Zero Mosque’s Imam Rauf told CNN baout copying YMCA and establish a “Young Men’s Muslim Association” (YMMA),I was interested what such an organization (was about in history) has in store.
