(16:00) Husseini to be buried on Temple Mount By Mati Milstein, The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff Faisal Husseini, who suffered a heart attack and died this morning in Kuwait, will reportedly be buried on the Temple Mount tomorrow morning. Nabeh Aweidah, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Orient House press office in eastern Jerusalem, has confirmed that preparations for Husseini's burial are underway. Husseini will be buried next to his father in the Muslim cemetery on the Temple Mount. It is unclear whether Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat will attend the burial on the Temple Mount, known to Arabs as al-Haram al-Sharif. If Arafat does attend Husseini's funeral, this would mark the Palestinian leader's first visit to the Temple Mount area since the 1967 Six Day War. Aweidah would not confirm whether other Arab dignitaries will attend Husseini's funeral. Husseini is a close relative of , who served as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during World War II. ****************************************** And we know that Arafat doesn't want it widely known that his uncle was a Nazi collaborator who praised Hitler and conspired in the "final solution". Were such information widely disseminated, it would make nearly impossible for Israel to make a deal with him. Here's a tidbit on Husseini's interaction with "Der Fuhrer": "Historically, the Islamic world's orientation to genocide against the Jews has not been limited to idle phrasemaking. Even before Israel came into existence in 1948, on November 28, 1941, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin, met in Berlin with Adolph Hitler. The subject of their meeting was "the final solution of the Jewish Question". This meeting, which followed Haj Amin's active organization of Muslim SS troops in Bosnia, included the Mufti's promise to aid German victory in the war. Later, after Israel's trial and punishment of Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann in 1961, Iranian and Arab newspapers treated the mass murderer as a "martyr", and congratulated him for having "conferred a real blessing on humanity" by liquidating six million Jews. - Louis Rene Beres Professor of International Law Department of Political Science Purdue University The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and advisor of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan. He was one of Eichmann's best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures.** - by J. B. Schechtman, in THE MUFTI AND THE FHRER: THE RISE AND FALL OF HAJ AMIN EL-HUSSEINI (New York: T. Yoseloff, 1965). "The Mufti Haj Amin el-Husseini was the equal of any of the war criminals. In postwar testimony, a senior aide to Eichmann described el-Husseini's appetite for destruction. He said that the Mufti visited the Auschwitz gas chambers, in disguise, and reproved the Germans for their lack of diligence in the destruction of the Jews. He loudly protested the proposed Nazi deal to save 4,000 Bulgarian Jewish children or to exchange trucks for Hungarian Jews. The Mufti was never tried because the Allies were afraid of the storm in the Arab world if its national hero were to be treated as a criminal. The Mufti was received as a national hero in Egypt where he was among the sponsors of the 1948 war. Indeed, the Mufti represents the link connecting the two attempts to destroy the Jews, that of the Nazis and that of the Arabs. It is thus not surprising that the Mufti has a lofty place in the PLO's pantheon. Arafat saw the Mufti as an educator and leader, declaring in 1985 that he deemed it an honor to walk in his footsteps. Arafat stressed that the PLO continued to march in the path carved out by the Mufti." - by Arie Stav in Arabs and Nazism, OUTPOST, January 1996 yahoodi.com
