History tells us that Muslims had a more active role in Hitler's extermination of the Jews than we've been taught

"....At the Nuremberg Trials, Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny (subsequently executed as a war criminal) testified: The Mufti (Mohammad Amin al-Husseini) was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan......"

According to documentation from the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, the Nazi Germany SS helped finance al-Husseini's efforts in the 1936-39 revolt in Palestine. Adolf Eichmann actually visited Palestine and met with al-Husseini at that time and subsequently maintained regular contact with him later in Berlin.....He (Mohammad Amin al-Husseini) then spent the rest of World War II as Hitler's special guest in Berlin"

.....and as a matter a fact it is not a stretch at all to say that the war on Islamic terrorism today is merely a continuation of the hostilities and atrocities started in World War II Nazi Germany.

One additional noteworthy fact: The Grand Mufti (Mohammad Amin al-Husseini) was the uncle to recently deceased PLO leader Yassir Arafat (bottom page of link). Thus his vision, teachings, and idealogy continue to inspire and lead the Muslim world.
