Muhammad Amin al-Husseini (b. Jerusalem, 1893 - d. Cairo, 1974)
Born into one of the richest and most powerful clans in the Ottoman province of Palestine, studied Islamic law in Cairo and Istanbul after administration. In 1913 he completed his pilgrimage to Mecca and in 1914 he volunteered to fight in the Ottoman army in the world war. Later, in the Turkish defeat, changed his coat and helped the British after 1917, shortly became a Zionist agitator who finished behind bars after being one of those who incited riots against Jews in 1920. In the early twenties Jews represented about a 10% population of Palestine and its relationship with its Arab neighbors was of mutual tolerance. However, during the following decade saw the immigration of some 100,000 Jews, attracted by the British promise to create a state for them. This increased the tension between both communities, and caused them to appear fanatics like al-Husseini. In July 1920 took charge of the new British administrator, Sir Herbert Samuels, who after the death of Mufti of Jerusalem in 1921, forgiven al-Husseini who had escaped from prison and fled to Transjordan, and appointed him Grand Mufti life provided that maintain the order. However
al-Husseini did not intend to deliver. From the first moment ended any attempt at collaboration with the Zionists, and its major achievements include the restoration of the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque were always aimed at giving life to a growing nationalist religious movement that had sole purpose to drive the Jews. His mandate was marked by increasing violence against Zionists and Arabs lukewarm in dealing with them. In 1929, again instigated riots against the Jews, whom he accused of attacking and defiling mosques, which claimed many victims. But it was in 1936 when saw the largest Arab revolt. Given the increasing influx of Jews fleeing the Nazis, Arab leaders headed by Grand Mufti organized an escalation of violence that would last three years and that al-Husseini used to try to eliminate the Jews, but also killed many Arab rival clans. The revolt became a little war to begin attacks also Jewish Irgun, which the British eventually had to hire a fund to pacify the area.
In 1937 the British exiled in Syria, declaring him guilty of the murder of the commissioner for Galilee. Later supported the rebellion against the British instigated by the Germans in 1941. Al-Husseini called for jihad against the Allies from his exile in Baghdad for what ultimately was forced to flee to Germany where he was treated like a guest in luxury. He met Hitler in November 41. In principle, the German leader was interested in using it as leader of a pan-Arab movement that once they join the German troops from the Caucasus. The Grand Mufti is dedicated to recruiting while Bosnian Muslims for the SS, launching propaganda slogans in Arabic on the radio against the allies and their "bosses" Jews, and wait for Rommel troops arrived to Palestine while lived like royalty with a $ 10,000 monthly pension from the German government as the leader of a non-existing pan-Arab government. In 1944, with war already decided, he tried to instigate a revolt in Syria last failed miserably. In the meantime, the British had decided it was better to curry favor with the Arabs as they won the war. Banned the arrival of more Jews to Palestine and Arab managed to bring many of you, some even coming to fight the Nazis in the allied army. Later in the
Nuremberg trials came to light its relationship with Eichmann, Himmler and other hierarchs Nazis who, apparently, he came to arrange visits to the gas chambers of Auschwitz . It seems that his friendship with Eichmann went back to the riots of 1936-39, paid in part by the Nazis. While in Germany was especially interested in the extermination of the Jews and had planned a death camp in Nablus for the event that finally beat the Nazis. There is in 1942 Himmler complained to the trade that the Germans would do with the Red Cross of 10,000 Jewish children in exchange for prisoners Germans and, as a consequence, the exchange was suspended and children deported.
After the war, the allies declared war criminal Yugoslavia and requested his extradition for crimes committed by the SS troops who had recruited and fanatic. Yet managed to reach France and then fled to Egypt where he was received like a hero. It seems that the allies withdrew their trial before the most likely answer that it could cause in the Arab world.
In 1948 he joined those who organized the war against the new state of Israel. After the defeat of the Arabs became a character uncomfortable for the successive kings of Jordan granted the title of Mufti others and prevented him from returning to Jerusalem for fear that would cause further unrest. He eventually died in exile in 1974. The leadership of the Palestinians then took his nephew Yasser Arafat . The government of Israel did not allow to be buried in Jerusalem.
