Islam and Judaism"
This text, first published in Arabic on 18 August 1937 in Cairo, is the first full presentation of the construct of a direct connection between Muhammad's clashes with the Jews in Medina and the contemporary conflict in Palestine and of a link between the seventh and twentieth centuries. "A distinguished Arab [probably a reference to El-Husseini - M.K.] wrote this book about the profound hostility [sic] of the Jews to Islam and their actions.. " states the Foreword..
"Since his appointment as Mufti of Jerusalem in May 1921, the aim of El - Husseini's policy had been to turn the limited territorial conflict in Palestine into an unlimited religious life-death war. From 1922 to 1936, he concentrated his campaigning on the alleged to the Islamic holy places. With the aim of mobilizing the religious peasantry , who were little impressed by nationalist slogans, and focusing the attention of the world's Muslims on Jerusalem, he elevated the Temple Mount into the symbol of the anti-Zionist struggle and declared defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque a religious duty. In early summer 1936, he sent agents to Egypt to win support for his cause there...
The publication of Islam and Judaism in summer 1937 marks the beginning of the second stage of the process of turning the territorial conflict in Palestine into a religious war . What made it different from the previous efforts?...
[The publication of Islam and Judaism was not inspired by the behavior of Palestine's Jews, but by the fact that summer 1937 saw the first attempt to get agreement on a two-state solution]...
In the following years, Berlin took on the task of distributing Islam and Judaism. The Nazis' efforts to mobilize Arabs against Jews had shown them that Muslims did not understand and rejected their racial antisemitism...
David Motadel refers to Islam and Judaism as "One of the most significant examples of this kind of religiously charged anti-Jewish propaganda among Muslims" while historian Jeffrey Herf has characterized it as "one of the founding texts of the Islamist tradition , one that defined the religion of Islam as a source of hatred of the Jews."...
The publisher of Islam and Judaism was Mohamad Ali al-Taher, Director of the Palestinian-Arab Information Office in Cairo.
Al-Taher was a prominent journalist from Palestine who had lived for a long time in Cairo and was close to the Muslim Brotherhood. He attended the Jerusalem Islamic Conference in 1931 and was one of the better-known participants in the Bloudan event of 1937 where he joined Propaganda committee established there...
But who was this "distinguished" Arab to whom authorship of Islam and Judaism is attributed? Although this secret was revealed neither in Cairo in August 1937 nor a month later in Bloudan, people in Berlin believed they knew who it was. In 1938, the Berlin-based publishing house, Junker and Dünnhaupt Verlag, published the whole pamphlet under the title Islam-Judentum. Aufruf des Großmufti an die islamische Welt im Jahre 1937 ("Islam-Judaism - Appeal of the Grand Mufti to the Islamic World in 1937") ...</small></blockquote></ref>

Hashimites and Husseinis.
By J. M. Japolsky (London)
(The second of four articles on “The Arab Scene”)
At the end of November, 1948, there took place in Jericho a very significant event: two thousand delegates, representing a million odd Palestine Arabs (of whom three-quarters are refugees) in effect called on King Abdullah Jbn Hussein of Transjordan to take the Palestine Arabs under his pro tection and call the resulting geo graphic unit “Southern Syria.” This news aroused lively interest in Tel Aviv and consternation in both Damascus and Cairo. Members of the Moslem Brotherhood killed the Chief of the Cairo Police, Selim Pasha Zaki, in the course of a protest demonstration and hardly four weeks later as sassinated Nokrashy Pasha, Egyptian Premier and Military Governor of Egypt. To the King of Transjordan the words "Southern Syria" must have sounded sweet...
THE REAL ENEMIES
From the beginning he realised that his real enemies were not, as might be expected, the Zionists in Palestine, but two distinct Arab groups. One was the rival Wahhabi clan, headed by the formidable erstwhile Sultan of Nejd, and now King Abdul Aziz ibn Saoud, who had dealt so harshly with his father, the Sherif and his brother Ali. The other was the sludge of professional Arab politicians who floated to the top in the post 1918 swirl of Arab politics and have been exploiting the Arab A good example of this , gentry is the racketeering and murderous Husseini family, headed by Haj Amin el Husseini, former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem an arch enemy of the Jews. The names of the Husseinis and their adherents in the now languishing Palestine Arab Higher Committee read like an indictment in a trial of Nazi collaborators: Amin himself, compromised in the business of the S.S. death camps and—assisted, by his nephew Jamal—a leading light in the pro-Nazi Iraq revolt of 1941; Wasef Kamal, Nazi Secret Service agent in Turkey and later collaborator of Amin Husseini in Germany; Rasem Khalidi, broad caster for the Nazis from Radio Athens and a co-conspirator of Amin Husseini in the Iraq Revolt; Muin el Madi, another Nazi Secret Service agent in Turkey; Izzat Darwaza and Is’haq Darwish, two of Amin Husseini’s aides in Nazi Germany; Emile Ghoury, terrorist and conspirator in the Iraq Revolt. Equally notorious are their strong-arm men, of whom two examples will suffice: the Albanian Sturmbannfuehrer S.S. Fauzi ed Dine kaukji, who “packed a rod” for Amin el Husseini before the war, was a professional gun-runner, helped in the Iraq Revolt, reached the rank of S.S. Major in the German Army and whose gangs the Israeli Army recently cut to pieces in Galilee, and Sheikh Hassan Salame, who also held the rank of Major in the German Army, and whose cut-throats have been terrorising the Arab villages in Central Palestine.
TOWARDS GREATER SYRIA?
These political racketeers and their pistol-packing thugs have their counterparts in various of ficial posts in the “Republics” of Syria and the Lebanon. They represent a scum which has noth ing in common with the future of the Arab people or with the crystallisation of power in the Arab world through the clash of royal dynasties, such as the Hashi mites and Wahhabis which has been shaping its destiny. The paths along which Abdul lah’s plans took him are both numerous and tortuous. Their general direction, however, has been plain; to swallow up the “Republics” of Syria and the Lebanon, and together with Transjordan to create a “Greater Syrian” Kingdom, establishing Hashimite rule from Beirut to Basra. British policy has sought to use Abdullah as a tool in its desire to reoccupy Haifa with the Trans jordan Arab Legion. He, however, preferred to establish himself in the Old City of Jerusalem (one of the Moslem Holy Places) rather than break against Israeli troops his one weapon—the Arab Legion —for his struggle against the Wahhabis, the Egyptians, the Husseinis, and the degenerate cliques in Damascus and Beirut. That achieved, he was in a favour able position to win the support of the Palestine Arabs, now freed by the panic flight of their self appointed “leaders” from the ter ror of the Husseini’s gunmen...</small></blockquote></ref> especially in Turkey,<ref>The Arab War Effort: A Documented Account.
