The al-Aksa mosque is mistakenly called, “Omar’s mosque” after the first Caliph of Jerusalem who captured the city in 638CE. This religious shrine was a hoax-gone-bad for Caliph Abd al-Wahd (705-715 CE). Wahd actually completed construction and named it al-Aksa so that it would sound like the one mentioned in the Koran. Wahd desired to draw prayer and, more importantly, attention to the place where he was then ruler, Jerusalem. This attempt failed since Mohammed had a stern restriction regarding Jerusalem. The site fell into disrepair and, up until this century, no Islamic monarch deemed the Dome or the mosque...

1 June 2006 65th Anniversary of the Baghdad anti-Jewish Pogrom Judeoscope Grand Mufti of Jerusalem inspecting Muslim Nazi trained troops 65 years ago on this day, Iraqi Arabs launched a Nazi-inspired two-day pogrom, the Farhud, which would anticipate the end of some 2,600 years of Jewish life in Iraq. In remembrance of this tragic event, Judeoscope presents “The forgotten Holocaust Pogrom” a short film produced by the International Sephardic Leadership Council documenting the Farhud and its exclusion from Holocaust scholarship and commemoration, as well as other relevant online articles and resources.

Political Correctness Trumping History at the US Holocaust Museum? By Shelomo Alfassa January 13, 2006 The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is America's national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history. Yet, this premiere public-private organization is deficient in their scholarship, leaving out of the historic record, reference to the 1930's and 1940's Nazi-Arab conspiracy, probably because of political correctness once again surpassing truth. With its origins within the Carter administration, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) was officially chartered by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1980 and was inaugurated in 1993 in Washington, DC....

The Middle East's Forgotten Refugees by Semha AlwayaI was born in Iraq and my family survived the Farhud, the Arabic pogrom of 1941. In discussions about refugees in the Middle East, a major piece of the narrative is routinely omitted, and my life is part of the tapestry of what's missing. I am a Jew, and I, too, am a refugee. Some of my childhood was spent in a refugee camp in Israel (yes, Israel). And I am far from being alone. This experience is shared by hundreds of thousands of other indigenous Jewish Middle Easterners who share a similar...

1948 Jewish population: 150,000 2001: Approximately 1001 The 2,700-year-old Iraqi Jewish community has suffered horrible persecution in modern-day Iraq. In June 1941, the Mufti-inspired, pro-Nazi coup of Rashid Ali sparked rioting and a pogrom in Baghdad. Armed Iraqi mobs, with the complicity of the police and the army, murdered 180 Jews and wounded almost 1,000. Additional outbreaks of anti-Jewish rioting occurred between 1946-49. After the establishment of Israel in 1948, Zionism became a capital crime. In 1950, Iraqi Jews were permitted to leave the country within a year provided they forfeited their citizenship. A year later, however, the property of...
