The House of Islam was the center for philosophical inquiry, science, poetry, and architecture. Islam left Christendom at the starting gate when it came to toleration of the other. But in recent decades, most of the Moslem world outside Turkey has become the center for xenophobia, violence, terrorism, Islamo-fascism, and barbarism. Chuck Morse tells one of the most revolting chapters in that tragic metamorphosis. It is one that must be learned by us all—those in the West now threatened by Islamo-fascism and jihad terrorism, and also those Moslems seeking to restore to the Islamic world its former laurels and humanism.” Prof. Steven Plaut, University of Haifa “The greatest threat to Western civilization is radical Islam, which incorporates many of the ideological underpinnings of Nazism. In his new book, The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism, Chuck Morse exposes how this phenomenon has come to dominate the political landscape of the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is an historical breakthrough in understanding the link between Nazism and radical Islam. Morse details the key figures in this transition, the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt and the mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al- Husseini, who spent years in Germany synthesizing Arab Nationalism and Nazism.” Rachel Neuwirth is a Los Angeles-based analyst on the board of directors of the West Coast Region of the American Jewish Congress and the chairperson of the organization’s Middle East committee.

That vicious attack woke America up to the terrorism that Israel has known since before the founding of the Jewish State in 1948. A year before 9/11, a date which will live in infamy, the Camp David Talks, which were supposed to conclude the Oslo Peace process, had collapsed in a hail of dismembered body parts. The Camp David talks of 2000 were hosted by President Bill Clinton. At those talks the Israeli negotiating team, led by Israeli Prime Minister Edud Barak, offered to the Palestinian negotiating team, led by Palestinian Authority President Yasir Arafat, 97 percent of the territories commonly referred to as the West Bank and Gaza. Additionally, at those negotiating sessions the Israelis offered the Palestinians a piece of land inside the Israeli capital city of Jerusalem, border adjustments that would have resulted in Palestinian sovereignty over the equivalent of 100 percent of the area located within the 1949 Armistice lines, and permission for a number of Palestinians, the number to be determined, to move into Israel, the so-called right of return. The Palestinians responded to the Camp David offer with suicide bombers at the Dolphin discothèque in Tel Aviv, at a Sbarro pizza parlor in Jerusalem, at a Tel Aviv shopping mall filled with young children shopping for Purim costumes, on busses, at a hotel in Netanya hosting a family attending a Passover Seder, and at Hebrew University. Several years later, in 2003, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon handed over Gaza, ethnically cleansed of all of its Jews, to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians were handed a golden opportunity to turn that prime piece of beachfront property into a prosperous state, a Middle East version of Hong Kong, a responsible member of the community of nations. Besides handing over Gaza on a silver platter to the Palestinians with no preconditions, Israel once again, as it had done during the Oslo 1990s, provided money, supplies, and training for the Palestinians to help them to build a state, as did the American taxpayers. After the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the Palestinian Authority was scheduled to receive significant aid and investment from around the world, including money from many of the vast and oil-rich Arab and Islamic nations. Had Gaza chosen to conduct itself as a responsible nation, had Gaza chosen the path of peace, the Israelis were prepared to give the Palestinians a great deal more. There would have been a successful and peaceful Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza today if it had chosen peace, a state within the borders of present day Israel. But instead the Palestinians of Gaza chose Hamas, which proceeded to turn Gaza into a launching pad for aggressive and unprovoked war against the State of Israel. The Gaza state in the making proceeded to fire thousands of deadly missiles over its border and into Israeli cities and towns, and it abducted Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier on Israeli soil. These are the facts. I supported the Oslo Peace Process with great reluctance in the 1990s. While I did not believe the approach of land for peace would work, while I did not believe that by amputating an arm Israel would be able to save the life of the whole body, like a lot of Jews I nevertheless was sickened by the carnage. I could not stand the thought of reading another newspaper report about another Jewish man, women, child, elder, Holocaust survivor blown to bits because they dared to live their life in Israel. I could not bear to hear about another Jewish mother witnessing her baby stroller being blown up by a bomb. Like many, I was willing to suspend incredulity, to turn a blind eye, in order to ask Israel to go chasing after a piece of paper that had the word “peace” written upon it. At this time I can no longer support the Oslo process. I believe the process is dead. There must not be another Palestinian state, at least not one that would be carved out of that tiny swath of land that rests uneasily between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. There are already two Palestinian states, a Jewish one and an Arab one, Israel and Jordan. There are already over twenty Arab states, many of them soaked in oil and natural resources. Another state within Israel’s present border would spell national suicide for Israel. This book is an examination of the nature of the conflict between Israel and the Arabs going back to the establishment of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1920. Many leaders of movements, religious, political, or cultural, leave their marks on history and on the lives and actions of their followers, and this influence at times endures for generations, even millennia. This is true, for example, regarding the faith, philosophy, style, and even the appearance and mannerisms of great figures such as Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha. This is also true about more modern leaders such as George Washington, Karl Marx, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, and Ronald Reagan. We study these leaders not only to obtain insight into their thinking but also to gain insight into the nature of their influence on our own times and on the movements that carry on their legacy. This is why it is important to study the life and work of Haj Amin al-Husseini, known as the grand mufti of Jerusalem and widely considered to be the founding
