Echoes of Hitler’s Mufti
Feb 21st, 2012 | By wjmurray“The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews,” the grand mufti of Jerusalem told the crowd. “The Jew will hide behind stones or trees. Then the stones or trees will call: ‘Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep silent].” These were not the words of the infamous Palestinian Grand Mufti Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the one who visited Hitler during the Holocaust to plan the extermination of Palestine’s Jews. These words – taken from an Islamic Hadith – were spoken last month – on the 47th anniversary of Fatah, by today’s grand mufti, Jerusalem Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, spiritual head of Mahmoud Abbas’ “moderate” Palestinian Authority.
