Chuck Morse's latest book, "The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism, Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini," provides the clearest, most incisive history of how Islamo-fascism and Jihad terrorism have become the dominant political philosophy in the Arab world. It is the untold story of how Nazism took root in the Islamic world through the untiring efforts of the mufti of Jerusalem, whose aim it was to destroy the Jews in Palestine. Morse writes:
The Nazi Holocaust appears to have kicked into high gear on Nov. 25, 1941, during a Berlin meeting between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini (1895-1974) and the Nazi Fuhrer of Germany, Adolf Hitler. At that well-documented meeting, Hitler promised al-Husseini, the Palestinian pan-Arab leader, that after securing a dominant military position in Europe, he would send the Wehrmacht, the Nazi war machine, on a blitzkrieg across the Caucasus and into the Arab world under the guise of liberating the Arabs from British occupation.
It should be noted that merely two months after the Hitler-Husseini meeting, the infamous Wansee Conference took place in which the Nazis produced their plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe.
Although Husseini spent the war in Germany, he managed to flee the advancing Allied forces and made his way to Cairo. While the captured Nazi leaders were tried at Nuremberg, Husseini escaped judgment and became the major force in transferring Hitler's program of genocide to the Arab world.
During the war, he had recruited Bosnian Muslims to serve in Nazi-Muslim SS Hanshar brigades which slaughtered Jews and Christian Serbs in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia. Memory of that slaughter was one of the reasons why the Serbs went after the Bosnian Muslims 50 years later.
After the war, Husseini established working links between Nazis and Arabs in the Muslim world. He also got rid of anyone who stood in his way. That is why moderate Arabs are so rare. Husseini killed most of them.
He began his public career after World War I, when moderate Arab leader Emir Feisal signed an agreement with Chaim Weizmann recognizing the Balfour Declaration, which facilitated the development of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
Feisal believed that a Jewish Palestine would help the newly liberated Arab world develop into modern states with prosperous economies. But Husseini refused to accept a Jewish Palestine, and he instigated pogroms to force the Jewish settlers out. The first pogrom took place in 1920. Morse writes:
In 1921, shortly after the launching of the 1920 pogrom and for reasons that will forever remain shrouded in mystery, Sir Herbert Samuel, a British Jew who had been appointed as British High Commissioner of the Palestine Mandate that same year, appointed al-Husseini as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Despite vigorous opposition to this appointment, Husseini proceeded to instigate violence against the Jews in Palestine and spread hatred of Jews throughout the Arab world, brutally purging any Arab who opposed him. In 1937, Husseini met with Adolf Eichmann in Palestine and became a full-fledged paid Nazi agent. In 1941, Husseini moved on to Baghdad where he helped organize the pro-Nazi Rachid Ali officers' coup against the British government in Iraq. When the coup failed, Husseini fled to Rome and then to the Third Reich.
One of the Iraqi coup plotters was Gen. Tufah Khariallah, uncle, guardian, mentor and future father-in-law of Saddam Hussein. The mufti was also a mentor to Yasser Arafat, who is believed to be Husseini's nephew.
Overlooked in the history books is the fact that about 100,000 European Muslims fought on the Nazi side in World War II. They included two Bosnian Muslim Waffen SS Divisions, an Albanian Waffen SS Division in Kosovo and Western Macedonia, the Waffengruppe der-SS Krim, formations consisting of Chechen Muslims from Chechnya, and other Muslim formations in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Bosnian Muslims, who were in the Croatian pro-Nazi Ustasha, were especially brutal toward the Christian Serbs. In 1943, a report on Ustasha activities stated:
The Ustasha terror began in Mostar. The Ustashi, the majority of them local Mohammedans, are arresting, looking, and shipping off Serbs or killing them and throwing the bodies in the Neretva River. They are throwing Serbs alive into chasms and are burning whole families in their homes. Outside of Zagreb the strongest Ustasha hotbed is Sarajevo. The Muslims committed unbelievable barbarities for they murdered women and children even with scissors.
After reading this book you will have no trouble understanding the origin of Islamo-fascism and Jihad terrorism. The author has packed the book with detailed documentation as well as photographs showing Husseini inspecting his Nazi-Muslim troops. Morse shows how Husseini's legacy of hate and murder, and his aim to destroy Israel, have been carried forth by Arafat and his murderous Palestinian terrorists right to the present.

A Balkans ping.
For the millionth time, the Handzar Division had no role in the Holocaust of the Jews.
Thanks for the clarification. Can you elaborate?
Thanks.

The Handzar themselves had a German officer corps and had some Imams attached to them. They were horrifed to learn that they had to cooperate with Serb Chetniks in sweeps against Partisans, when in fact they wanted revenge against these very Chetniks.
The Best English book on the Handzar is written by American author George Lepre.

Very much appreciated.

His info is erronoeous.
They had no role regarding Jews. Can you provide dates where they did? Trust me, you can't.
If "Encyclopedia of the Holocaust" is not good enough for you go to Goggle and type words handzar, division, Jews … or similar combination and you will get hundreds and hundreds of hits - and that is only in English. As for other info, maybe you should consult your relatives and cousins - they should be able to provide you with dates.
“They had no role regarding Jews” that is quite interesting reaction. I mean, after all, we are talking here about Nazi's Waffen SS murderous scam, personally recruited for Hitler by Arafat's Nazi Uncle - Haj Amin al-Husseini!
Are you ticked off because information I’ve posted proves that Croats were not only one to kill Jews in former Yugoslavia.
I'm not the least "ticked off." I was only seeking information, and I take your word for that which you have provided. Thanks so much. I wasn't questioning you at all. Maybe Diocletian was, but not I.
Char
Message was meant for Diocletian. For some reason idea that Muslim, Nazi SS were killing Jews disturbed him. I’ve include you FYI.
Sorry my mistake!
That info isn't good enough. It is directly contradicted by George Lepre's work. I need dates and actions as proof.
Hi Charlite! Can you tell me the dates when the Handzar was supposedly involved with rounding up or killing Jews?
zagor-te-nej would be the FR participant to ask, as I have no detailed knowledge of this issue.
Thanks for asking, but you need to ask him (or her).
Char :)
If you chose so, no info will be good for you, and Croats are pretty good at that.

Contradicts his work – so what? Lepre is one source and there is wealth of information out there. You can go to some good search engine or contact "Encyclopedia of the Holocaust", and ask them. Handzar members were Waffen SS murderous scam, going around and killing Serbs, Gypsies and Jews – that is enough for me. What you need is of little consequence for me.
I asked them and they had nothing specific. Lepre has the specifics.
