He hated Jews, he hated Christians, and he worked to kill both of them and he succeeded. While serving in the Ottoman army, he watched the Ottoman Muslims commit genocide on the Armenian Christians and wanted the same for the Jews and Christians of the Middle East. He had whole divisions of Muslim Nazis who ended up slaughtering tens of thousands of Christians and burning churches. He made personal visits to Arab nations and convinced they do to the Jews what the Nazis were doing to them in Europe. You are pathetic with no morals or ethics. Just a mentally ill Jew hater.
He had nothing to do with the Armenian genocide. As your own link states, he heard about. He led no divisions of Muslims in Europe. The Muslim, mostly Bosnians, were undr German command and attacked when the Germans said to attack. And they certainly did not attack the Germans, Croats, Hungarians and others that were Christians.
You do not seem to be able to get it through your thick skull that the Mufti knew what the Zionists and the British were planning to do with the Palestinians. Do you think he should have sat by and done nothing? Of course he would try to gather as much support to try to regain the land taken from his people. As a neutral, it is easy to see the dynamic, you are so partisan for one side you can't think straight. Combine that with your limited intelligence and you appear to be a complete maniac.
Of course he did, he organized and led the Muslim Nazis who went around killing Christians and burning churches. Get your head out of your Mohammad, MonkeyNazi:
Hitler s Mufti Catholic Answers
To assist the practical slaughter of Jews and Christians, al-Husseini built an army of Muslim volunteer units for the
Waffen-SS (the combat units of the dread SS) to operate for the Nazi cause in the Balkans. While the appeal for volunteers from among Muslims always struggled to meet the demands for new recruits, al-Husseini was able to organize three divisions of Bosnian Muslims who were then trained as elements of the
Waffen-SS. The largest radical Muslim unit was the 13th
Waffen-SS Handzar ("Dagger") division that boasted over 21,000 men. They were joined by the Bosnian 23rd
Waffen-SS Kama Division and the Albanian Skanderbeg 21st
Waffen-SS Division.
The Muslim Waffen-SSforces fought across the Balkans against Communist partisans and then assisted in the genocide of Yugoslavian Jews and in the persecution and slaughter of Gypsies and Christian Serbs in 1944 and 1945. The brutality extended to Catholics as well, for the Muslim Waffen-SS cut a path of destruction across the Balkans that encompassed a large number of Catholic parishes, churches, and shrines and resulted in the deaths of thousands of Catholics. By the end of the war, al-Husseiniās fanatical soldiers had killed over 90 percent of the Jews in Bosnia.
Back to Catholic Answers then, *sigh*. OK factual errors in the Catholic Answers article:
13th SS Mountain Infantry Division "Handschar" was also known as "1st Croatian" It was not a "Muslim" Division because it contained a large proportion of Catholic Croats and German "volksdeutsche". According to records it reached a paper strength of 21,065 men in 1943 it never attained an operational strength of more than 17,000 men in action in 1944-45. It was the only SS division to mutiny against the Nazi regime and was prone to high rates of desertion from its Muslim soldiers.
The 23rd SS Mountain Division (2nd Croatian) was known as "Kama" although it never reached more than an operational Brigade strength of 2,199 men and was raised from Serbo-Croat Hungarians and forced Bosnian conscripts, most of whom deserted at the first opportunity. The 23rd ended up composed mainly of of Croats, Germans and Hungarian "volksdeutsche". Ultimately it was in such a poor shape it was disbanded to be replaced by the 23rd SS Division called "Nederland"; composed mainly of Dutch Fascist volunteers.
The 21st SS Mountain Division "Skanderbeg" was the only unit known to have taken part in anti-Jewish operations. Another patheticaly small Brigade sizred unit it was composed mainly from Albanians from the Kosovo region. From it's inception the unit was more interested in settling old scores with the local Serbs than fighting a war. An Army Group E report rated the unit's performance as having "absolutely no military value."
There is absolutely no evidence that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem played any part in leading or organising these units other than making propaganda speeches to encourage recruitment, largely a failed effort.
As regards the fate of the Jewish population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the overwhelming majority were murdered or deported by the Ustase, a Croatian Catholic/Fascist organisation, before any of these three SS units were created.
Oh the Catholic Answers article is based on these sources:
- Dalin, David and John Rothmann, Icon of Evil: Hitlerās Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam (Random House, 2008)
- Elpeleg, Zvi, The Grand Mufti: Haj Amin Al-Hussaini, Founder of the Palestinian National Movement (Frank Cass, 1993)

Dalin and Rothman, and Morse and Perlemanare not historians, Epeleg tries his best, I'll give him credit, but still fails to produce an objective biography, free of Zionist taint. Perlman, was the first IDF "spokesman" so his work should be treated with caution.
