The Folly of the West’s Alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood

imagesCAORZTC8A review by Janet Levy of:

A Mosque in Munich: Nazis, the CIA, and the Rise of the
Muslim Brotherhood in the West (2010) By Ian Johnson

The presence of Muslims in the West is not a recent phenomenon; on the  contrary, it reaches back many decades, to Nazi Germany.  Then, a group of  former Soviet Muslims, seeking better treatment in Germany, defected and aided  the Nazi effort.  Muslim Brotherhood (MB) cohorts in the Middle East  conducted a parallel effort.  Later, under the control of U.S.  intelligence, many of these same Muslims were harnessed as a bulwark against  worldwide Communist domination during the Cold War.  Eventually completely  taken over by the MB, these German Muslim cohorts were courted by the West as a  most curious partner to counter Islamic extremism.  The locus for much of  their activity, which they later used to spread Islam throughout Europe and plan  major terrorist attacks in the West, including 9/11, was to become a beachhead  in Europe — the Munich mosque.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ian Johnson details this history in his  book, A Mosque in Munich.  Johnson examines nearly 80 years of the  Muslim presence in Europe and how America helped strengthen the very community  dedicated to the destruction of the West.  Most of it is on target, except  for Johnson’s crucial underplaying of the Muslim Brotherhood’s key role in the  mission to destroy America.

Muslims Fighting for Nazism

During World War II, the Nazis saw an opportunity to use disenfranchised  non-Russian Muslim minorities to fight the Soviet Union.  As victims of  Soviet repression, Muslims were treated as an underclass.  Their farms were  collectivized, their assets were confiscated, they were persecuted for  practicing their religion, and their mosques were shuttered.  Thus, they  became ripe for Nazi exploitation, and, as devalued soldiers, non-Russian Muslim  minorities were eager to be captured by the Germans and fight against  Stalin.  In addition, since anti-Semitism was an intrinsic part of their  religious doctrine, these Muslims naturally allied with Nazis efforts to  exterminate Jews.

Johnson recounts that by the 1930s, another force in the Islamic world, the  MB, founded in 1928, was accepting money from the Nazis and using it to  establish a military wing.  The nascent organization run by the Grand Mufti  of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, focused on anti-British colonialism and  opposition to Jewish immigration.  In 1933, al-Husseini contacted the Nazis  about supplying recruits for the Waffen-SS, the military wing of the Nazi party,  and joining a collaborative effort to eliminate Jewish influence in economics  and politics.

Seduced by the oil-rich Caucasus inhabited by the Muslim minorities, Hitler  realized the potential of being viewed as a liberator of this oppressed  region.  When the Wehrmacht seized the North Caucasus in 1942, the Germans  announced to cheers that the mosques would be reopened and the SS began actively  courting émigré leaders in the region in an effort to employ Islam as a  motivating force to assist their fighting units.

Using Islam to Fight Communism

Just as the Nazis had used Muslims for their own ends, the U.S. government  acted similarly, as Johnson recounts in A Mosque in Munich, which  traces the United   States’ burgeoning interest in using Islam as an  anti-communist tool.  As early as 1951, at the end of Harry Truman’s second  term in office, U.S. intelligence agencies considered using Islam to shore up  the free world in the fight against Soviet Cold War influence and essentially  split the Soviet Union by pitting non-Russians against Russians.  At first,  the United States concentrated on working with ex-Nazi, non-Russian Muslim  émigrés as part of a CIA-funded broadcast organization, Radio Liberty,  headquartered in Germany and dedicated to overthrowing the Soviet Union.   At the time, U.S. Cold War policy focused on “containment,” or preventing the  spread of Communism.  Eventually, U.S. Cold War efforts became more  aggressive, and the goal shifted to overturning communism altogether by various  covert operations, economic warfare, sabotage, and propaganda.

Vive la Resistance: A Call to Arms!

20100812_CAIRstripesby SHARI  GOODMAN:

During World War II, in an effort to combat Nazi totalitariansm, men and  women of good will in France formed a resistance movement against the Nazis.  They came to be known as the Resistance fighters who bravely fought against the  tide of the Nazi invasion. Today, once again there is a new growth of  totalitarian supremacist ideology in the name of Islam and it is presently  receiving protective status under the guise of religion; yet, today its  legitamacy is derived on our own soil. The definition of “Islam” is submission  and while we may state that we are not at war with Islam, Islam has declared war  on us.

Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was the instrumental book that incited Germans to  wage war against the Jews and incited millions in surrounding countries to  submit to its supremacist totalitarian quest for world domination. Not unlike  Mein Kampf, we now have on American soil an Islamic doctrine (Quran) that  commands its practioners to wage war against all non-believers until Islam  reigns supreme. “Slay the pagans(Christians) wherever ye find them and seize  them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush” (Surah  9:5) and “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief) and  all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).” (Quran: 8:39) These are just a few of the many passages littered throughout Quranic  doctrine with the call for Jihad. Unlike Judeo/Christian doctrine, the violence  in Quranic doctrine is instructional violence without a specific time frame.  Those of us in today’s Resistance Coalition have been referred to as  Islamophobics, bigots, racists, and hatemongers, but in an upside down world it  is we who are combatting the hate spewed by a doctrine that places all  non-believers in what is referred to in Islam as Dar Al Harb (the House of War).  Yes, the Quran segrated the world into Dar Al Islam (the House of Islam) and Dar  Al Harb, reserved for all non-Muslims.

For the first time in American history we are providing a sanctuary to a  doctrine that seeks our demise. The Quran which commands each Muslim to slay the  unbelievers wherever they may find them is housed in every mosque. There are now  over 2000 mosques funded by Saudi Arabian oil money throughout the United  States. The colonization by the Umma (prosletyzation) is encouraged and financed  by oil money and it matters not one iota that not all Muslims are Jihadists. It  is a threat and affront to our existence and liberty that we give sanctuary to a  dangerous doctrine that calls for our submission at best and slaughter at  worst.

A few notable anniversaries on the Palestinians’ big day

By Caroline Glick

With the nations of Europe and the rest of the world lining up to support the PLO bid to receive non-member state status at the UN General Assembly, it is worth noting two anniversaries of related but forgotten events.

Of course, everyone knows the obvious anniversary – Nov. 29, 1947 was the day the UN General Assembly passed the plan to recommend the partition the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews accepted the plan. The Arabs — both local and regional – rejected it. The local Arabs who 25 years later became known as “Palestinians,” responded to the passage of UNGA resolution 181 by launching a terror war against the Jews. Their war was commanded by Iraqi and Lebanese terror masters and supported by the British military and its Arab Legion from Transjordan.
On May 15, 1948 five foreign Arab armies invaded the just-declared Jewish state with the declared aim of annihilating all the Jews.
Now for a couple less known anniversaries
On November 28, 1941 the religious and political leader of the Palestinian Arabs and one of the most influential leaders of the Arab world Haj Amin el Husseini met with Adolf Hitler in Berlin. Husseini had courted the Nazis since just after the Nazis rose to power in 1933. Husseini was forced to flee the British Mandate in 1937 when he expanded his fourth terror war against the Jews, that he began in 1936 to include the British as well.
He fled to Lebanon, and then in October 1939 he fled to Iraq. In April 1941 he fomented a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq. As the British — with massive unheralded assistance from the Jews from the land of Israel — were poised to enter Baghdad and restore the pro-British government, Husseini incited the Farhud, a 3-day pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad that took place over the festival of Shavuot. 150 Jews were murdered. A thousand were wounded and 900 Jewish homes were destroyed.
With the coup defeated and the Jews murdered, Husseini escaped to then pro-Nazi Iran and then in October to Germany by way of Italy. (He was flown out of Iran on an Italian Air Force plane, and feted by Mussolini when he landed in Rome).
He arrived in Berlin and two and a half weeks later he had a prolonged private meeting with Hitler. There, on November 28, 1941, two months before the Wannssee Conference, where the German high command received its first orders to annihilate European Jewry, Hitler told Husseini that he intended to eradicate the Jewish people from the face of Europe.
Husseini remained in Berlin through the end of the war and served as a Nazi agent. In Berlin he broadcast daily diatribes to the Arab world on German shortwave radio in Arabic. Specifically Husseini exhorted them to kill the Jews in the name of Allah and make common cause with the Nazis who would deliver them from the Jews, the British and the Americans.
In 1943 Husseini organized the Hazhar SS Division of Bosnian Muslims. His division carried out the massacre of 90 percent of the Bosnian Jewish community of 12,000.
In 1920 Husseini personally invented what later became known as the Palestinian national movement. He shaped its identity around the sole cause of destroying the Jewish presence in the land of Israel.
During the war Husseini used his broadcasts to shape the political and religious  consciousness of the Muslim world by fusing Islamic Jew hatred with annihilationist Nazi anti-Semitism. Whereas much of the Nazi anti-Semitic ideology was discredited in postwar Europe, it has remained the single most resonant theme of Arab politics since World War II.
In 1946, as his fellow Nazi war criminals were being tried in Nuremberg, Husseini made a triumphant return to Egypt where he was welcomed as a war hero by King Farouk, the Muslim Brotherhood and the young officers in the Egyptian army who fused Nazi national socialism with the Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood and took over Egypt after deposing Farouk in 1951.
The founder of Palestinian nationalism’s singleminded dedication to the genocide of Jewry brings us to the second notable but forgotten anniversary we passed over this month.
On Nov. 12 1942 the British led forces  — with the massive and unreported support of Jewish commando and engineering units from the land of Israel — defeated Germany’s Afrika Corps led by Gen. Rommel in the second Battle of Alamein. With the German defeat, the specter of a German occupation of the Middle East was removed. Husseini and Himmler had planned that under German occupation, the Arabs would expand the Holocaust to the 800,000 Jews of the Arab world and the 450,000 Jews in the land of Israel. To this end, the Germans had organized the Einzatzgruppen Afrika unit attached to Rommel’s army. Under the command of SS LTC Walter Rauff, it was tasked with murdering Jews located in the areas that were to come under German occupation.
It is fitting that yesterday, on the anniversary of Hitler’s meeting with Husseini, Germany announced that it would not oppose Husseini’s heirs’ bid to receive UN recognition of a Palestinian state that seeks Israel’s destruction.
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

The Muslim Brotherhood, Part III – Hitler’s Imam

Haj Amin al-Husayni – Bosnian-SS

by Peter Farmer:

After escaping Iraq ahead of pursuing British security forces and making his  way to fascist Italy, Amin al-Husseini arrived in Germany in November 1941. Upon  reaching Berlin, al-Husseini was treated as visiting royalty; a head of state in  exile. The Nazi Party supplied him with several luxurious homes staffed with  servants, a chauffeured Mercedes limousine, a monthly stipend equivalent to  $10,000, and suites in two of Berlin’s most-prestigious hotels. He was also  allocated a generous entertainment allowance, intended for his use in  influencing the substantial Arab expatriate community then in Berlin.

Seeking support for Arab pan-nationalism and Muslim causes, al-Husseini had  been in contact with members of the Nazi regime as early as 1933.  He  presented the Nazi leadership with a draft proposal of German-Arab cooperation,  under which Germany would recognize the legitimacy of an Arab state encompassing  Palestine, Syria, Trans-Jordan and Iraq, in return for Arab support of the Axis  Powers in the Middle East. These views found favor in the highest reaches of the  Nazi Party. On November 28, 1941, after meeting with Foreign Minister Joachim  von Ribbentrop, al-Husseini was granted an audience with Führer Adolf  Hitler.

In Hitler, al-Husseini found a soul mate. Although Hitler had written years  before in Mein Kampf of the “racial inferiority” of Muslims, the  Führer’s views had modified considerably since that time. Indeed, in the  blond-haired, blue-eyed and light-complexioned al-Husseini, Hitler found a  fellow Aryan. The Mufti and he shared a passionate hatred of the Jews and the  British. Thus united, they formed a new strategic partnership.

In the months following his successful meeting with Hitler, al-Husseini  formed a number of close relationships with members of the Nazi inner circle,  including friendships with Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler, the head  of the Schutzstaffel (SS), Hitler’s elite body guard and the chief  paramilitary force of the Reich; and SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) Adolf Eichmann. The  Grand Mufti remained close with Reichsminister von Ribbentrop. Soon,  al-Husseini and these men discovered a shared passion for the extermination of  Jews.

At al-Husseini’s request, Von Ribbentrop ordered that no Jews within  German-controlled territory be allowed to leave Europe to enter Palestine. He  also directed the formation of a special bureau within the Foreign Ministry  devoted to extermination of Jewry abroad, called the “Anti-Jewish Action  Abroad.”

With the assistance of Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels, al-Husseini  began pro-Axis Arabic-language radio broadcasts from Berlin to the Middle  East  as early as December, 1941. In these broadcasts, he called upon his Arab  brethren to commit acts of sabotage against the British and to kill Jews and  other infidels at every opportunity. Assisted by Iraqi fellow exile Rashid Ali  al-Gaylani, the Mufti called upon Muslims worldwide to wage jihad against the Allies. In one such broadcast on March 1, 1944, al-Husseini  urged his listeners, “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God,  history and religion.”

The Grand Mufti collaborated actively with Himmler and Eichmann in the  conduct of the “Final Solution” to exterminate the Jews of Europe. He toured  Auschwitz concentration camp with Eichmann, and according to later testimony at  the Nuremburg Trials by top Eichmann aide and SS-Hauptsturmführer  Dieter Wisliceny, al-Husseini constantly urged greater haste in the killing of  the Jews.

In 1943, Himmler asked for al-Husseini’s assistance in recruiting Muslims  into the SS for use in the Balkans; under the Mufti’s enthusiastic direction,  the notorious 13th Mountain Division “Handschar” of the Waffen-SS was formed  from some 20,000 Croatian Muslim volunteers. It later saw action against  Yugoslav partisans under Marshall Tito, and participated in ethnic cleansing  operations against Jews and other “undesirables” in the region. Over 800,000  Yugoslav Serbs, Jews and Roma (gypsies) were exterminated, many by the cruel  members of the Handschar division.

The Nazis of Palestine

by Wild Bill for America:

The Palestinians of Israel are following the goals of Nazism by calling for a new holocaust against the Jewish people.

 

The Nazi Palestinolatry

By Giulio Meotti:

There is an ideology here, and it is very similar to that of the Nazis.

Future generations will wonder how an organization such as the PLO, one of the worst ideological criminals of the twentieth century along with Al Qaeda, Pol Pot, the SS and the Iranian ayatollahs, has been able, in spite of its proudly proclaimed anti-Semithic barbarism, to achiev world-wide acclaim and support.

Take the reports released in the last week by the heroic Palestinian Media Watch, the monitor group founded by Itamar Marcus and which should be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize.

In a PA TV’s children’s program, a young girl says that Christians and Jews are “inferior” to Muslims, while the official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, was proclaiming Israel’s destruction: “We remember you, all of Palestine. You are present within us… until we return to you, oh Haifa, Acre, and Jaffa, all of historical Palestine… and all the temporary ones (Israelis) will go away… May their (Israeli) independence collapse, and may Palestine come back to life”.

Translation: We would like to turn the Mediterranean Sea red with Jewish blood.

In 1981, the late Jewish philosopher Emil Fackenheim, who has been hailed as a leftist hero, penned an opinion in the Globe and Mail: “The PLO covenant can be amended only by a two-thirds majority. No attempt has ever been made to amend it. In assassinating dissidents within its own ranks, the PLO does no more than abide by the document to which it is committed. If this is what it does to its own people, one can imagine what it would do to Israelis, if it were ever given the opportunity by weakness on the part of Israel or folly on the part of the world”.

Would the PLO sue for peace if more territories were returned by Israel?

The answer lies in the Palestinian Manifest of 1968, which contains incredible similarities to the Nazi Charter written in 1920.

The PLO covenant is not the manifesto of a lunatic faction, it’s the mainstream essence of the Palestinian movement (Hamas’ manifesto suggests an even darker hell).

Israel is becoming a country of “pragmatists”, and for them ideology matters very little. But ideology is the most important key to understanding the roots of conflicts.

30 out of the 33 articles in the PLO Covenant directly or indirectly call for the use of violence against the Jews, as in Article 9, which declares: “Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine”.

The document encompasses moral, utilitarian, legal and military arguments, all converging into a negation of the existence of the State of Israel in any form or size. The covenant rejects the idea that Jews have any “historical or religious ties” to the land, since “Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality”.

If the PLO charter says that “Palestine” is an “indivisibile” part of the Arab world, the Nazi manifesto proclaimed the union of “all Germans” in Europe.

If the Palestinian Arabs declare the Balfour Declaration null and void, the Nazis said the same of the Versailles Treaty.

If the PLO Covenant is defined as “not be amended” (it was never amended even after Oslo), the Nazi Charter is declared to be “unalterable”.

PLO’s Article Six declares: “The Jews, who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion (usually dated as the mid-19th century) will be considered Palestinians”. In other words, 98 per cent of the existing Israeli Jewish population must be banished.

Or killed.

Like Hitlerism, Palestinianism is not a national identity, it’s an ideological construct developed as a criminal agenda since the PLO was created in 1964.

The Palestinian proto-Nazi manifesto claims that the“Palestinian personality” is an “innate, persistent characteristic that does not disappear . . . and is transferred from fathers to sons” (No. 4).

And what if all Palestinians had emigrated, or had become refugees from the land? They would still belong to “Palestine” along with their male descendants. Forever. This is like the Nazi “Drang Nach Osten” and “Blut und Erde”.

Read the rest at Arutz Sheva

Giulio Meotti: The writer, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a weekly column for Arutz Sheva. He is the author of the book “A New Shoah”, that researched the personal stories of Israel’s terror victims, published by Encounter. His writing has appeared in publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frontpage and Commentary.

Nazi propaganda website starts operation in Iran, government censors do nothing

By : A pro-Nazi association now operates a Persian-language website in Iran,  promoting anti-Semitism and memorializing Adolf Hitler, apparently with the  approval of the Iranian government and its censors.

The site, Nazicenter.ir, features videos of Nazi leaders and pictures  of Hitler, and praises the Third Reich for nearly conquering the Western world.  It also includes a public forum whose members routinely discuss their hatred of  the Jewish people.

The site’s primary goal, its administrators write, is to confront the “story  of the Holocaust, which without a doubt has been taken advantage of in  contemporary history.”

Iran’s Islamic regime strictly regulates all forms of communication. Hundreds  of websites have been banned, and Iranians’ online access to the free world is  severely restricted. But a Nazi propaganda website is consistent with the  proclamations of Iran’s military and political leaders, who have both denied the  existence of the Nazi Holocaust and called for the destruction of Israel.

The chief commander of the Iranian armed forces, Maj. Gen. Hassan  Firouzabadi, announced the doctrine of the Islamic regime in a recent  speech. “The Iranian nation is standing for its cause,” he said, “and that  is the full annihilation of Israel.”

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has openly called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that  should be cut out. And Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has repeatedly  denied the Holocaust occurred.

Nazicenter.ir is hosted on a Web server in Germany and administered by two individuals who also own the Internet domain “NaziClub.ir.”

The website, according to Google’s “FeedBurner” syndication service, has more  than 1,200 subscribers. Its online forums serve nearly 1,700 members, including  some with online avatars named “Klaus.barbie,” “NEW Heil” and “Heinrich_Himmler.”

A published set of ground rules prominently displayed for forum  participants includes the warning that “All members must respect the current  laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” The also include requirements that  members should promote “the expansion of Iran’s nationalism” and “make known the  true picture of Zionism.”

“We as an Internet media outlet consider it a duty to show the ugly and  oppressive face of Zionism,” the text continues, “which rules the world’s media  who have hidden its true face.”

While Nazicenter.ir includes historical reports about Hitler’s messages to  troops and the Nazi military’s operations during World War II, it also features  an article about “the issue of race and ability, and IQ differences between  different races.”

On April 20 the site offered “congratulations” to its readers “with Aryan  blood” on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s birth. On May 9 an unnamed author republished video of a 1938 speech in which  Hitler warned about the dangers Allied powers posed to “occupied Palestine.”

“If you think that the German leader was thinking of rescuing Germany alone  from such exploitation, then you are wrong,” the writer insists. “Adolf Hitler  in his 12 years of governance criticized the Western powers in defense of the  oppressed — one of them being the Palestinians.”
