Husseini was not just a voice in a hurriicane

True, Husseini had only one meeting with Hitler but he had many meetings with Heinrich Himmler.

In 1943 Himmler asked Husseini to help form the hanser division of the Waffen SS in Bosnia.

The dregs of moslem society were enlisted to supplement the depleted SS.

True, most moslems in Bosnia opposed Husseini but most of the so-called palestinians regard him as a hero

True Husseini was not the religious leader of the Arab world, but he was the leader of the group

of Arabs who would call themselves the "palestinians. According to Yasir arafat Husseini

was the religious and political founder of the "palestinian" cause.

True, not every Moslem is a fanatical anti-Semite but for everyone who is there are a large number

of fellow travelers who may fold such hatred but don't express them. I'm sure that only a minority in Nazi Germany would have taken part in the genocide, but their acquiescence helped make it possible.
