1974

Islamic Terrorism Timeline

11/16/2006

- January 24, 1974: In the United Kingdom, a Muslim man associated with the PLO hurled a bomb into the Bank of Hapoalim. Located in London's financial district, it was Israel's third largest bank. One employee was injured in the blast.

- January 31, 1974: In Singapore, two Japanese Marxists belonging to the United Red Army and two Arab Muslims belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, tried to blow up a Shell Oil Company refinery. Their targets were three large oil storage tanks, but they only succeeded in setting one on fire. In their retreat, they seized eight hostages aboard a ferryboat and threatened to kill themselves and the hostages unless they were given safe passage to an Islamic country.

Five of the eight hostages were allowed to jump overboard and swim to safety but the other three were forced to stay with the terrorists while they bargained with the Singapore government for safe passage to a sympathetic Arab/Muslim fiefdom. So to assist their cause, on February 6th, five PFLP members took over the Japanese embassy in Kuwait, holding 12 hostages, including the ambassador, hostage. They demanded that the Japanese government supply an airliner to bring their Marxist Muslim comrades from Singapore to Kuwait.

As a result, a Japan Air Lines plane carrying the four terrorists from Singapore landed in Kuwait as requested. After picking up the other five Islamic terrorists, who had released their Japanese hostages, the plane went on to Aden, in Southern Yemen, arriving on February 8th. The jihadists were freed by the Islamic Yemeni authorities on February 10th because in Islam, kidnapping is considered a good thing since Muhammad did it on numerous occasions.

- February 2, 1974: The Greek freighter Vory was hijacked by three armed Muslims at the port of Karachi, Pakistan. The three Pakistani gunmen said that they were members of a group called the Muslim International Mujahideen. They threatened to blow up the ship and kill two hostages unless the Greek government freed two Arab Muslim terrorists who were being held in Athens for the August 5, 1973 machine gun attack in the Israeli airport lounge that had left three dead and 55 wounded.

After lengthy negotiations with Pakistani authorities and three Arab Muslim ambassadors, the attackers accepted the Greek government concession to commute the death sentences of the convicted Islamic terrorists held in their custody. So then, the three Pakistani terrorists were flown out of Karachi on a special PIA flight to Cairo on the evening of February 3rd. They were taken to Libya the following day at Qadhafi's request, where they received a hero's welcome.

- February 6, 1974: In Kuwait, five members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) seized the Japanese Embassy and took 12 hostages, including the ambassador. They demanded that Japan arrange to fly two of their Muslim comrades and two members of the Japanese Red Army to Kuwait from Singapore. Japan complied, and the terrorists were granted safe passage to Yemen. A Japan Air Lines carrying the four terrorists from Singapore landed in Kuwait. After picking up the other five Kuwaiti jihadists the plane went on to Aden, in South Yemen, arriving on February 8th. All of the terrorists were freed by South Yemen on February 10th.

- February 11, 1974: In Israel, three Christian establishments in Jerusalem - the office of Baptist House (operated by the U.S. Southern Baptist Convention), the U.S.-owned Zion House Bible Shop, and the chapel of the Swedish Theological Institute - were firebombed.

- February 23, 1974: Two Greek demolition experts were killed while they were attempting to defuse a bomb found in the U.S.-owned Dow Chemical plant at Lavrion. The bombs were believed to have been planted by organizations protesting U.S. support of the corrupt Athens government. America had used a heavy had in shaping the Greek political landscape, and there were a lot of people who were not pleased.

After King Constantine II was overthrown in 1967, Greece witnessed a spate of bombings perpetrated by terrorist groups that opposed international recognition of the Greek military regime that had risen to power in the coup. American diplomatic and military assets in Greece were targeted because America was responsible for propping up the dictatorial regime, doing so because it was anti-Communist.

- March 3, 1974: In Lebanon, two Arab Muslims hijacked a British Airways VC-10 that was en route from Bombay to London after it had stopped at the Beirut airport. The terrorists planted explosives and ordered the pilot to land at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. There, the hijackers freed 92 passengers and 20 crew members and blew up the plane. They had told passengers that they belonged to the Arab Nationalist Youth for the Liberation of Palestine. The PLO-affiliated terrorists were sentenced to five years imprisonment.

- March 7, 1974: In Iran, a bomb was tossed into the British embassy compound.

- March 14, 1974: In Venezuela, a fire was set at a supermarket owned by the Rockefellers. Self-professed members of the Red Flag guerrilla group claimed responsibility. Other groups, including the National Liberation Armed Forces, also claimed credit for the attack. The same day, three incendiary devices were discovered and disarmed at Sears stores in El Marques and Bello Monte. Bandero Rojo (Red Flag) claimed credit for those. While Red Flag is Marxist and not Muslim, since Venezuela is OPEC's only non-Islamic member, it's instructive to see how politics is played there.

Red Flag is a Marxist terrorist group engaged on the center-left of Venezuelan politics. They split from Venezuela's Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR - Movement of the Revolutionary Left) in 1969 when the MIR accepted an offer of amnesty from Venezuela's President Caldera and returned to electoral politics. Red Flag, led by Carlos Betancourt and Gabriel Puerta Aponte, remained dedicated to the violent overthrow of the Venezuelan government and its replacement with a Maoist/Communist regime. Red Flag had links with both the Cuban communists and other Latin American terrorist organizations such as Colombia's M-19. The group also shared a training facility in Venezuela with Basque separatist group ETA in the early 1980s.

In 1976, the Bandero Rojo garnered international attention when it kidnapped William Niehous, an American businessman. Niehous remained in Red Flag's custody for more than three years before he was released. Bandero Rojo also masterminded a triple airline hijacking in December 1981. Those hijackers claimed the operation was carried out "to alert the Venezuelan people to what was happening in El Salvador," where the United States was supporting the government in a civil war against Marxist rebels.

In 1992, what remained of Red Flag was invigorated by Hugo Chavez as a tool to use in his attempted coups in February and in November. Red Flag was implicated in several execution-style murders of security forces during the November coup. Shortly afterwards, Bandero Rojo entered Venezuelan politics in association with Hugo Chavez, who was elected Venezuela's president in 1998. At that time, Red Flag members joined the Chavez government. The most notable terrorist minister was Carlos Lanz Rodriguez, who participated in the kidnapping of William Niehous. Rodriguez became Chavez's Ministry of Education.

However, support for Chavez among Red Flag elements eventually withered. In the last few years, Bandero Rojo has aligned with Chavez's opponents from Venezuela's center-left and center-right parties. Red Flag has participated in a number of anti-Chavez demonstrations, most notably a large opposition march against Chavez on January 23rd, 2002.

- March 15, 1974: In Lebanon, police arrested six Arab Muslims after they attempted to smuggle arms and explosives in food containers and luggage aboard a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 747 en route from Amsterdam to Tokyo via Beirut. One of the suspects was a Lebanese employee of KLM. He claimed that he and the others were members of the PFLP as well as the Arab National Youth Organization for the Liberation of Palestine. The merry band of Muslims included one Palestinians, two Lebanese, one Syrian, and one Libyan. The Syrian Muslim was a veteran, having been involved in the November 26, 1973 hijacking of a another KLM plane.

- March 16, 1974: In Lebanon, the Iranian ambassador was the target of an unsuccessful bomb attempt. The Lebanese Revolutionary Movement claimed responsibility for their failure.

- March 17, 1974: In Northern Ireland, four masked guerrillas drove a hijacked truck into a U.S. Navy NATO communications center outside Londonderry and opened fire on guards in an attempt to steal weapons. The raiders tied up three Americans and took another American hostage, but he escaped. The masked men fled on foot. No injuries were reported.

- March 23, 1974: In Eritrea, an Ethiopian-Japanese mining operation near Asmara was attacked by members of the ELF-General Command. The Islamic terrorists were armed with grenades and automatic weapons. The Eritrean flag was raised at the site, and leaflets were scattered. Damage to the mine's generator and other equipment was estimated at $3 million. There were no casualties at the mine but two guards at a local village school were killed by the fleeing terrorists.

The Muslim militants operating under the guise of the ELFGC belonged to a subsidiary of the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement. The EIJM, as one might expect, was composed of Islamic terrorists who were financed, trained, and armed by the fundamentalist Islamic government in neighboring Sudan. Also known as the Islamic Reform Movement and the Islamic Salvation Group (Harakat al Khalas al Islami), the terrorist club sought to depose the current secular government in Eritrea and replace it with an Islamic theocracy based upon Sharia Law.

Led by Sheikh Khalil Muhammad Amer, the EIJM claimed to represent the religious and political aspirations of Eritrea's Muslim population (now at 50% and growing). They were however, based in Khartoum, Sudan and they commenced most of their terrorist raids from Sudanese soil. And that's not good since the Sudan was home to the most ruthless Islamic regime in the world - a Muslim government which had sponsored the genocide of 2.7 million Africans.

The People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), the ruling party in Eritrea, confirmed the close ties between the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement and the Islamic Sudanese government by showing how the Sudan provided the EIJM with weapons, training sites, and a safe haven. The secular Eritrean government cited the use of weapons of Sudanese origin such as Kalashnikov assault rifles and RPG-7 grenade launchers, as proof of foreign involvement in its internal affairs.

The EIJM is a product of many alliances, and it includes members of the Munezemet Arrewad al Muslimin al Eritrea (Eritrean Pioneer Muslim Organization), the Jebhat Tahrir al Eritrea al Islamiya Wataniya (Eritrean National Islamic Liberation Front), the Lejnet al Difae al Islami (Islamic Defense Committee), the Harekat al Mustedafeen al Eritrea (Movement of Oppressed Eritreans), and al Intifada Islamiya (Islamic Uprising). Due to this amalgamation of Islamic terrorist clubs, the EIJM includes political dissidents and fundamentalist Islamists.

The Eritrean Liberation Front derivative of the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement was formed by Islamic students in Cairo, Egypt in July 1960. The primary objective of these Muslims was to force Ethiopia to abandon Eritrea so that they could impose Islamic rule.

Between 1885 and 1951, Eritrea was governed by Italy and Great Britain. Then in 1952, the United Nations combined Eritrea into neighboring Ethiopia. While Eritrea gained some measures of autonomy, the resolution stopped short of creating an independent Islamic republic in Eritrea. Therefore, the Islamic Eritrean Liberation Front launched offensive terrorist missions against the Ethiopian government in 1961. The terrorist group manifest all of the characteristics of an Islamic organization and showed signs of being affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. By 1970, an internal dispute led to the creation of a splinter group, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front which became indistinguishable from any other Islamic terrorist organization. Then in a 1993 Eritrean referendum, the Eritrean people voted for the creation of a fully independent nation. The current president of Eritrea was once a member of the Islamic Eritrean Liberation Front.

- March 26, 1974: The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement seized the pilot and passengers of a helicopter downed in Ethiopia. The aircraft, which had been deployed by Tenneco Oil, carried five people including two employees of Tenneco, an employee of Texaco, and a UN official. In return for their release, the EIJM/ELF demanded that Tenneco assist them in freeing 75 prisoners held by the Ethiopian government, employ a journalist to publish the Eritrean Islamic Jihad story, and suspend further oil exploration until the Eritrean region of Ethiopia came under EIJM/ELF control. They also demanded that the hostages not return to Ethiopia.

Tenneco agreed to discuss the demands, so at one point during the negotiations, the EIJM/ELF agreed to release two of their corporate victims. A second helicopter was sent by Tenneco to retrieve them on May 27, but its pilot was also taken hostage. (Never trust a Muslim. Their religion instructs them to deceive Infidels in order to make them easier prey. The Muslims knew what the Qur'an taught and the Tenneco executives did not.).

As we shall soon discover, following the May 27 thwarted rescue, the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement kidnapped two Christian missionary nurses, one American and the other Dutch. The Dutch nurse was killed on the day of her capture. The American nurse and the pilot of the second helicopter were held as prisoners for three long months. On June 26th, the first pilot was released but the remaining four hostages were kept captive in very primitive and harsh conditions for six months.

- April 8, 1974: In Ethiopia, Kagnew Station, a U.S. Navy communications facility outside Asmara, was the target of a rocket attack. The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement was suspected.

- April 11, 1974: In Israel, three Muslim terrorists - one Palestinian, one Syrian, and one Iraqi - stormed across the Lebanese border and into an apartment building in Qiryat Shemona (Kiryat Shmona), killing 18 people and wounding 16 more. The Islamic terrorists, who were said to belong to the PFLP-GC, died in an explosion at the end of a gun and grenade battle with Israeli troops.

One of the jihadist's communiqués demanded that Israel release 100 prisoners including Kozo Okamoto, a Japanese terrorist serving a life sentence for the deadly PFLP-sponsored attack on Lod Airport in Tel Aviv on May 31, 1972.

The day following the attack on the apartment building, after the 18 victims of the Islamic terrorists were buried, Israeli forces carried out retaliatory strikes across the Lebanese border. They entered six villages in southern Lebanon and blew up several houses belonging to PLO/PFLP members after the inhabitants had been evacuated.

At this time, the PFLP-GC, PFLP, PLO, BSO, and Fatah had become unified and were nearly indistinguishable. With that in mind, let's examine one of the two parents - the father of Palestinian terror, the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

The PLO and its member groups are controlled, funded, and equipped by the Islamic governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Kuwait, and Iraq and by America and Europe. According to the United Kingdom's National Criminal Intelligence Service, "the PLO has an annual income of $2 billion from charitable Islamic donations, OPEC funding, American and European Union Aid, extortion, payoffs, illegal arms dealing, drug trafficking, money laundering, and fraud." Before his death, the Economist confirmed that Yasser Arafat alone had personally confiscated $900 million. The Daily Telegraph reported in 1999 that the Palestinian Liberation Organization had $50 billion invested around the world. In the PLO, OPEC and Islam coalesced into a terrorist machine of considerable prowess.

The PLO has become a conglomerate composed of many Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic political and religious groups and terrorist organizations. According to its founder, "The PLO's goal is to drive the Jews into the sea." Their vision of "Palestine" is an exclusive Arab/Muslim enclave that includes all of present-day Israel from Galilee, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean, from the Sinai to Lebanon. Today, the PLO is indistinguishable from the political party Fatah, the governmental entity known as the Palestinian Authority, the secret police unit Force 17, the PFLP, and the terrorist group al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The five organizations share common leadership, members, and ambitions.

On May 28, 1964, Ahmad Shukeiri nominated representatives from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza (which was part of Egypt), Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq to attend his "Palestinian" Conference in East Jerusalem. His attendees all wore badges, similar to the PLO logo today, that showed all of Israel under their control along with a mission statement which read: "We Shall Return." The reason for return, rather than stay was emblazoned on their badges was that in 1948 the Secretary General for the Arab League had told the Muslims living in what had become the state of Israel, to leave the land so that Islamic Arab armies could sweep in and slaughter Jews more efficiently and effectively.

The introductory address at Ahmad Shukeiri's "Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian, Kuwaiti, Saudi Arabian, Iraqi, and Turkish" Liberation Organization gala was made by King Hussein of Jordan - the man responsible for killing more "Palestinians" than anyone on earth. In his foundational speech, Shukeiri lied, telling delegates that the "Palestinians had experienced 16 years of misery and it was time they relied on themselves and liberated Palestine from the Israelis." The reason I said he lied was because at the time he spoke those words the so-called "Palestinian people" were the most free, best educated, and most prosperous Muslims on the planet. Integrated into the free society of Israel and isolated from the oppressiveness of Islam, they had thrived. But thanks to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, that relative success would soon be a fleeting memory.

Following the Six Day War in 1967, the Islamic states which had created the PLO lost much of their legitimacy. Having failed at war, they turned to terror. Yasser Arafat, one of the five founders of the terrorist organization and political party al-Fatah (the Victorious Conquest), took advantage of the resulting power vacuum and became Chairman of the PLO in 1969. (That story is chronicled in the Islamic Clubs' account of Fatah and is worth reading.).

As detailed in its charter, the PLO was founded to destroy the Israeli state and to kill as many Jews as possible in the process. While there are those who say that the PLO has significantly altered its rhetoric and goals, all evidence is to the contrary. Facilitating an appreciation of this harsh reality is one of the many purposes of the Islamic Terrorism Timeline.

There are those who claim that the PLO amended their Charter in 1988 to accommodate the "land for peace" process touted by America, but that is not accurate. A committee without authority recommended an alteration so that the PLO would continue to receive American and European aid, but the amendment was never voted upon and the Charter itself remains unchanged. And frankly, the words on the page would be meaningless to the Islamic community and would have no effect on terror.

In the guise of the Palestinian Authority, the PLO in its addresses to English-speaking audiences has on occasion postured the notion that Israel has the right to exist so long as an independent Palestinian state is carved out of her territory. But that too is merely a ploy. The PLO's strategy, confirmed by Yasser Arafat's own admission, was based upon Muhammad's example at Hudaybiyah. There, over 1,300 years ago, Muhammad who at the time possessed insufficient arms to conquer his hometown of Mecca, promised to stop terrorizing his kin for ten years so long as the Meccans would allow him to visit Allah's rock pile of idols known as the Ka'aba. The merchants of Mecca honored the agreement but the Muslims violated the treaty a dozen times in the first 12 months according to their own witness. Then, at the end of the year, once the Meccans had been lulled into a false sense of security, Muhammad and the first Muslims roared into town with an army more than twice the size of the Meccan population and conquered the place, imposing Islam under the shade of their blood-drenched swords.

Without American and Islamic OPEC support, the PLO and its derivatives would have died an ugly death a very long time ago. But their reign of terror continues because of deceptive public declarations, like the one given on Wednesday evening, October 11th, 2006. George Bush's Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, said: "Palestinians deserve to live better than they do, and to be free of the humiliation of occupation in a state of their own." She was therefore saying that Palestinian Muslims were the victims of humiliating oppression and terror rather than the oppressors and terrorists - the opposite of what is actually true. She was also fabricating history. Before the PLO intifada against Israel, back when Muslims were integrated into the Israeli society, the "Palestinian people" were the most free, least oppressed, least victimized, best educated, and most prosperous Muslims in the world. But after their violent terrorist uprising, the Palestinians who were now separated from Israel became as indoctrinated, oppressed, humiliated, impoverished, hatful, and violent as all of the other Muslims who surround Israel's oasis of relative civility.

But worse than all of her revisionism and deceit, there is the moral issue. To say that the "Palestinians deserve...a state of their own" is to say that terrorism is a valid and justified political strategy. The Palestinians are second only to the Pakistanis in the application of terror. And the only moral response to terror is rebuke, not reward.

America's second most prolific and deadly liar went on to tell the audience of Palestinians: "I promise you my personal commitment to that goal." At the dinner marking the third anniversary of the American Task Force on Palestine, Rice preached: "There could be no greater legacy for America." The following day, George Bush endorsed Secretary Rice's dream. As a result, the legacy of looting Israel, of thinning the nation at its waist, of giving her land to her enemy, was vividly portrayed by the prophet Isaiah. He said that such a nation will be pruned back and that its cities would be laid waste.

- April 13, 1974: In the Philippines, three U.S. Naval officers were shot and killed while inspecting road construction at the perimeter of the Subic Bay Naval Base, fifty miles northwest of Manila.

- April 13, 1974: The Secret Organization Zero claimed that its gunmen assassinated Jose Elias de Torriente, founder of FLNC, in Coral Gables, Florida. Torriente was allegedly the mastermind behind plans to assassinate Castro in 1969 and 1970. A week later, Ricardo Morales Navarrete, and FBI informant instrumental in the conviction of Orland Bosch, was killed by a bomb detonated by the ignition switch in his car.

- April 14, 1974: A bomb blast at the Lebanese consulate in Los Angeles, apparently in reprisal for the jihadist mass murder in Qiryat Shemona (see April 11th) that had been staged in Lebanon, caused slight damage. No one was injured. Just before the explosion, anonymous callers told two news services that the bombs would go off and hung up after declaring, "Never Again!," the slogan of the JDL.

- April 18, 1974: In Egypt, an Egyptian scholastic terrorist organization led by an Iraqi Muslim having connections with Libya, assaulted the Technical Military Academy in Cairo. Eleven people were killed and 27 were injured in the raid. Among those arrested in the next few days was a Palestinian who was believed to be the ringleader of the assault. He confessed that the aim of his club, the Islamic Liberation Organization, was to "overthrow existing regimes in Arab countries.".

Based in Egypt, the Islamic Liberation Organization was a fundamentalist Sunni terrorist group that emerged as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the aftermath of the Islamic-Israeli Six-Day War in 1967. The stated purpose of the Salafist gang was the overthrow Arab regimes that ruled without sufficient adherence to the teachings of Islam. They derived this objective from reading the earliest Islamic scriptures which clearly tell Muslims to fight and kill any Muslim who is insufficiently committed to jihad or who supports the exercise of free will in religion or politics.

This basic Qur'anic and Hadith teaching regarding choice and jihad was actively espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood and their spiritual leader, Sayyid Qutb. His fundamentalist Islamic teaching emphasized the concept of jahiliyya, which asserts that all regimes which ignore "guidance from Allah" should be forcibly ousted.

By following Muhammad's example and Allah's orders, the Islamic Liberation Organization, whose very name was an oxymoron, also targeted the United States because the nation was primarily Christian and Israel, because they were primarily Jews - representing the people and faiths Allah called "infidels." Inspired by the academic Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Liberation Organization was mostly composed of college students and recent graduates. The median age of their membership was 22.

This 1974 ILO attack on Egypt was designed to bring about a general mass uprising, after which the jihadists would assassinate Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Their intent was to proclaim Egyptian an Islamic state and elevate Muslim clerics to leadership roles in government. Instead, the Egyptian government executed two of the Islamic Liberation Organization's leaders and arrested 30 members, setting the group back significantly. Their next attack would not take place until 1985, when ILO members kidnapped four Russians in retaliation for Soviet support of the Syrian "annihilation of Muslims in Tripoli," evidently confused over tensions between Syrian-sponsored Christians and PLO-backed Muslims in Northern Lebanon.

Today, ILO members have been absorbed into other Salafist groups as the region has gradually succumbed to the rising tide of fundamentalist Islam.

- April 23, 1974: In Thailand, the Pattani Liberation Front, a Muslim terrorist group in the south, credited itself with the kidnapping of two female Christian missionaries. The Islamic organization demanded that the United States and Britain halt all military and economic aid to Thailand, and that the Thai government halt its "persecution" of the Muslim people of Pattani and legalize their struggle for independence.

Military intelligence officers say the Pattani United Liberation Organization and the New Pattani United Liberation Organization have cooperated in a series of terrorist attacks in Thailand. The Thai authorities claim that their assaults were designed to attract funding from OPEC Muslims.

Founded in 1968, the Pattani United Liberation Organization sought to separate Thailand's predominately Muslim southern provinces from the rest of the country and to establish an Islamic state. Southern resistance to Thai rule has a long history, but PULO itself did not emerge as a leading Islamic terrorist group until the 1970s.

The Pattani United Liberation Organization has fought along side several other jihadist groups. Their Islamic assault on Thailand was quite severe in the 1970s. It began to fade in the 1980s, and was nearly gone by the mid-1990s. It has since reemerged. Starting in 2001, a plethora of bombings and shootings terrorized Thailand's southern provinces. More than 800 people were killed in the name of Allah and Islam. In July 2005, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra reserved emergency powers to help combat the rise of the Muslim menace.

PULO's most common tactics are drive-by shootings and bombings. Their attacks focus on public buildings, such as schools and police stations, and also on public officials. The most serious incident of the recent revolt occurred in October of 2004, when protests broke out after six Muslim men were arrested for providing the terrorists with weapons. This current religious revival of terrorism in Thailand now includes arson and more sophisticated bombings. Coordinated attacks are increasingly common as well.

- May 1, 1974: The Caribe Star was sunk in Los Angeles Harbor by a bomb. The 120-foot long former Catalina ferry had been sold to Arab OPEC interests and refitted as a luxury yacht. No one was injured. The Jewish Defense League claimed responsibility.

- May 1, 1974: In Jordan, a monitoring station of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline was damaged by the Organization of Arab Nationalist Youth for the Liberation of Palestine.

- May 8, 1974: In Lebanon, an explosive device placed against the USIS Regional Service Center blew a hole in the wall. The plastic charge did not cause any personal injury. The Lebanese Shibbu gang claimed responsibility.

- May 15, 1974: In Israel, three Arab Muslims from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) crossed the border at night from Lebanon into Israel and assaulted a bus carrying Israeli women on their way home from work. The Islamic terrorists murdered two of the women and wounded the other six.

After tasting Jewish blood, the Muslim murderers stormed into the village of Ma'alot and killed three more Israelis. It was then that the jihadists seized control of a school filled with 90 teenagers who were resting following a long mountainous hike.

Allah's deranged helpers held the school children hostage as gunpoint. The fact that they were outnumbered by humans, several students and some teachers managed to escape by jumping from a window.

The Islamic jihadists demanded the release of twenty Muslim terrorists held in Israeli jails. They gave officials until 6 pm to comply, or they threatened to kill all of the children. They also demanded the French and Romanian ambassadors come to facilitate the disgraceful transaction.

Israeli officials complied and the terrorists held in prison were brought to the school for release. However, when the terrorists began upping their demands, in effect reneging on the deal they had made, Israeli troops infiltrated the school. In the ensuing gunfight, all three guerillas were killed, but not before the Muslims shot 26 children at pointblank range and wounded 70 others.

Islam is so morally corrupting, the head of the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PDFLP) claimed credit for the mass murder of women and children. Nayef Hawatmeh said that the attack had been aimed against the Middle East peace mission of Henry Kissinger, who had been engaged in shuttle diplomacy two months earlier. Hawatmeh said that Kissinger was suggesting a settlement that would mean the "surrender of the Palestinian people.".

The sentence was only five words long and yet it contained three myths. Since Islam means submission, Muslims had already surrendered. There is no such thing as a "Palestinian people." The last Palestine was annihilated by the Babylonians 2,700 years ago. And Kissinger was a pro-Islamic socialist who served Marxist's interests during the Vietnam War, Soviet Détente, and the opening up of Communist China. He is now supported almost entirely by Islamic OPEC regimes which is why he could not accept George Bush's appointment to head the 9/11 Commission.

PDFLP chief, Nayef Hawatmeh, also said the murders and mutilation of 107 Jewish women and children were intended as a warning against the U.S.'s plan to return the West Bank to Jordan, in effect, handing it back over to King Hussein.

The PDFLP is nothing more than a splinter of the PFLP. Under Secretary General Nayef Hawatmeh's leadership, the faction broke away in 1969 because Hawatmeh thought George Habash had become too focused on terror at the expense of politics. His PDFLP was the second of a series of splinters. Ahmad Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command had split away in 1968, thinking that the Habash had slighted terrorism in favor of politics. Despite their different priorities, all three groups were considered to be Fedayeen - or a modern incarnation of Hasan's Islamic Assassins.

By sometime in 1974, the PFLP, PDFLP, and PFLP-GC were essentially realigned. They were all incorporated into the PLO and accepted the Palestinian National Council's Ten-Point Political Program as drafted in Cairo and adopted by Fatah on June 8, 1974. But then disputes fueled by Syria, Libya, and Iraq, caused some of the most ruthless jihadists to spar with Yasser Arafat. This turf war was swept under the carpet when Fatah called for the first Intifada against Israel in 1978 because an Islamic lust for killing Jews was the one thing they all had in common.

By the 1980s, with the decline of the Soviet Union and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the Marxist Muslim factions of the Palestinian terrorist movement like the PDFLP were destined for irrelevancy. Those which didn't merge into the more fundamentalist PLO or the Salafist HAMAS, faded away. But those factions which joined their Muslim brothers during Fatah's al-Aqsa Intifada in 2001 became implements under which the PLO, PA, Fatah, and HAMAS could do their bidding.

- May 22, 1974: In Belgium, a stolen car loaded with cans of gasoline exploded outside the office of Iberia Airlines in Brussels. The blast injured one person and caused heavy damage to the building, which also housed the First National Bank and the American-owned Westbury Hotel. Cars containing similar explosive charges were discovered and disarmed by Belgium police in front of Iberia Airlines offices in Liege and Antwerp. On the basis of pamphlets found at subsequent similar incidents, Belgium authorities believe that Groupes d'Action Révolutionnaire Internationaliste, or GARI, was responsible for the explosions.

The Internationalist Revolutionary Armed Groups operated briefly in the 1970s in France, Spain and Belgium. Their ideology was never coherent, as they were composed of Basque militants from Spain and French anarchists. The group claimed it was dedicated to the "struggle for direct action against the Franco-ist dictator, against capital, against the state, for the liberation of Spain, of Europe and of the world." They were also rumored to be the inspiration for the French communist terrorist group Action Directe.

- May 27, 1974: In Ethiopia, back on March 26th, the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement seized the pilot and crew deployed by Tenneco Oil. Then when an agreement for their release was reached and a second helicopter was sent to retrieve the hostages, the Muslim militants captured the rescue pilot.

It was on this day that the jihadists kidnapped the two Christian missionary nurses, one American and the other Dutch. The Islamic militants immediately murdered the Dutch Christian woman. The American missionary and healthcare worker was held captive for three months.

- May 28, 1974: In Lebanon, the detonation of a small bomb at the John F. Kennedy USIS Library and Cultural Center caused minor injuries to three local employees. The Revolutionary Arab Youth Organization claimed responsibility.

- June 4, 1974: In Ethiopia, an Italian farmer was kidnapped from his Eritrean plantation by Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement terrorists.

- June 8, 1974: Palestinian National Council adopted what was termed the "Phased Plan," which called for the establishment of a Palestinian state on any territory evacuated by Israel. The plan was designed so that the land Israelis were forced to flee as a result of PLO terrorism would be deployed as a staging area for destroying the whole of Israel. For this reason, the plan begins with the PLO reaffirming its rejection of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which called for a "just and lasting peace" and Israel's "right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.".

As you read the PLO's PNC Ten Point Program drafted in Cairo and endorsed by Fatah, keep in mind the Qur'anic Arabic word for "aggressive militant struggle," translated "holy war," is jihad.

"On the basis of the Palestine National (PLO) Charter and the Political Program drawn up at the eleventh session, held from 6-12 January 1997; and from its belief that it is impossible for a permanent and just peace to be established in the area unless our Palestinian people recover from all their national rights and, first and foremost, their rights to return and to self-determination on the whole of the soil of their homeland; and in the light of a study of the new political circumstances that have come into existence in the period between the Council's last and present sessions, resolves the following:.

1. To reaffirm the Palestine Liberation Organization's previous attitude to Resolution 242, which obliterates the national right of our people and deals with the cause of our people as a problem of refugees. The Council therefore refuses to have anything to do with this resolution at any level, Arab or international, including the Geneva Conference.

2. The Palestine Liberation Organization will employ all means, and first and foremost armed struggle (jihad), to liberate Palestinian territory and to establish the independent combatant national authority for the people over every part of Palestinian territory that is liberated. This will require further changes being effected in the balance of power in favor of our people and their struggle (jihad).

3. The Liberation Organization will struggle (deploy jihad) against any proposal for a Palestinian entity the price of which is recognition, peace, secure frontiers, renunciation of national rights, and the deprival of our people of their right to return and their right to self-determination on the soil of their homeland.

4. Any step taken towards liberation is a step towards the realization of the Liberation Organization's strategy of establishing the democratic Palestinian State specified in the resolutions of the previous Palestinian National Councils.

5. Struggle (Deploy jihad) along with the Jordanian national forces to establish a Jordanian-Palestinian national front whose aim will be to set up in Jordan a democratic national authority in close contact with the Palestinian entity that is established through the struggle (jihad).

6. The Liberation Organization will struggle (use jihad) to establish unity in the struggle (jihad) between the two peoples and between all the forces of the Arab/Muslim liberation movement that are in agreement on this program.

7. In the light of this program, the Liberation Organization will struggle (deploy jihad) to strengthen national unity and to raise it to the level where it will be able to perform its national duties and tasks.

8. Once it is established, the Palestinian national authority will strive to achieve a union of the confrontation countries, with the aim of completing the liberation of all Palestinian territory, and as a step along the road to comprehensive Arab/Muslim unity.

9. The Liberation Organization will strive to strengthen its solidarity with the socialist countries, and with the forces of liberation (Islamic countries) and progress throughout the world, with the aim of frustrating all the schemes of Zionism, reaction and imperialism.

10. In light of this program, the leadership of the revolution will determine the tactics which will serve and make possible the realization of thee objectives.

The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization will make every effort to implement this program, and should a situation arise affecting the destiny and the future of the Palestinian people, the National Assembly will be convened in extraordinary session.".

- July 4, 1974: One of Islam's Patriarchs of Terror, and the father of the Hanjar (Handschar, Khanjar, Scimitar or Sword) Muslim Waffen SS Divisions, the Mufti Mujahideen, and the Supreme Muslim Council, Mohammad (Muhammad) Hajj Amin al-Husayni (alternatively spelt al-Husseini), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem died on July 4th, 1974. Over the course of his 80-year life, the Palestinian Islamic religious and political leader conspired to slaughter over six-million Jews. He was among the most evil men whoever lived.

Known best for his anti-Semitism and union of Islam and Nazism, Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni fought against the establishment of a Jewish state. To this end, Husayni was an active collaborator with Adolf Hitler in World War II, and he was a substantial contributor to the Final Solution.

Since this Muslim is important, albeit in the most horrible sense imaginable, you should know that his title "Grand Mufti" means that Muhammad Husayni was considered to be an "Islamic Scholar." The Mufti title was awarded to Islamic clerics who were authorized to interpret the Qur'an, Hadith, Sunnah, and Sharia, and who, based upon their extensive knowledge of Islam, were licensed to issue binding religious dictates called fataawa, plural of fatwa.

Muhammad Amin al-Husayni was born into an aristocratic family in Jerusalem around 1895. He was the son of the Mufti of Jerusalem, a man who was one of the richest and most powerful Muslims in the Judean Province of the Ottoman Empire. Muhammad attended the most revered Islamic academy on earth, Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. In his one year stay, he founded an anti-Jewish society while studying Islamic religious law known as Sharia. In 1913 at the age of 18, al-Husayni made the Hajj pilgrimage to Allah's rock pile, known as the Ka'aba, or Allah's House, in Mecca. He was such a good Muslim, he earned (or daddy purchased) the honorary title of Hajj.

In the years leading up to World War I, Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni studied at the School of Administration in Istanbul, which at the time was the heart and soul of the Islamic Ottoman Empire. In 1914, Muhammad joined the Ottoman Turkish Army. He received a commission as an artillery officer and was assigned to the 47th Brigade stationed around the Greek Orthodox city of Smyrna in present-day Turkey. Smyrna was the recipient of the second of seven prophetic letters the Messiah Yahshua dictated to John in Revelation. The crux of that letter is a warning, predicting ten epochs of persecution.

In 1915, as an officer in the Ottoman Army, Muhammad Hajj al-Husseini would have been at the very least a witness to the Armenian Christian genocide. The forced relocation and systematic rape, enslavement, and death of 1.3 million Christians in concentration camps at the hands of the Muslim Ottoman Turks, Germany's WWI ally, would serve as the model for the mass murder of six-million Jews in the Nazi holocaust twenty years hence. Muhammad al-Husayni used his personal experience in this regard to inspire Adolf Hitler. Shortly after meeting the Mufti, Adolf Hitler cited the killing of the Armenians as a precedent for his own slaughter of the Jews. "Kill without mercy!" the Nazi leader told his military. "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Read the account of Turkey's Special Organization in the Islamic Clubs Appendix to the Islamic Terrorism Timeline.

In November 1916, al-Husayni left the Islamic Ottoman Army on a three-month disability leave and returned to Jerusalem where he remained for the duration of the war. After the British conquered Israel and Syria in 1918, the power-hungry Muslim switched sides and was employed in various positions by the British military administration in Jerusalem and in Damascus. One of his most important roles was the recruitment of soldiers for Faisal bin Husayn's army.

If you will pardon the momentary distraction, I'd like to share some of what I know regarding al-Husayni's pal Faisal bin Husayn before moving on with the life of the Grand Mufti. Faisal was for a brief time following WWI, king of Greater Syria and then king of Iraq. Born to a ruling religious family in Saudi Arabia, his dad being the Grand Sharif of Mecca, Faisal was a traitor of sorts. After serving in the Ottoman government, he was bribed into serving the Brits during WWI and attacked the Ottomans (who had previously been weakened by the Russians). Faisal was a key player in Lawrence of Arabia, a tale that is actually far less romantic and heroic than told on the silver screen.

On January 3, 1919, Faisal and Dr. Chaim Weizmann (a British Jew credited with saving the UK in WWI with his invention of synthetic acetone, and subsequently with the writing of the Balfour Declaration, and the eventual establishment of state of Israel following WWII) signed the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement in which Faisal accepted the Balfour Declaration. This post WWI accord awarded many large states to the Muslims and one small state (Transjordan) to the Jews out of the remains of the defeated Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, the Muslim traitor Faisal was not to be trusted, and after accepting the gift of the new Islamic nations, he lobbied Britain to prevent the establishment of the Jewish state - something that eventually led to the holocaust and most of today's Islamic terrorism.

The traitor and liar was named king of greater Syria by the British in March 1920. But in July, Faisal was expelled by the French during the battle of Maysalun. He then moved to the U.K. Since the British controlled Iraq, they decided to establish a monarchy there and made the Saudi Faisal, King of Iraq in August 1921. This was the kind of man, the Grand Mufti was keen on supporting.

By way of example, in 1919 Muhammad Hajj al-Husayni attended the Pan-Syrian Congress held in Damascus where he supported Emir Faisal for King of Greater Syria - an Islamic nation which at the time incorporated all of today's Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Syria, most of Jordan, Iraq, and the Sinai, and some of Turkey. It remains the dream of every good Muslim to see the world unified into a singular Islamic dictatorship.

That year, al-Husayni founded the secret society of El-Nadi al-Arabi (The Arab Club) in Jerusalem and wrote religious and anti-Semitic articles for the first new newspaper to be established by Muslims in what is today Israel, but was then Suriyya al-Janubiyya (Southern Syria). Since Muslims like al-Husayni had worked to make Arab synonymous with Muslim so that attacks on Islam could be rebuffed as racist and bigoted, al-Nadi al-Arabi could just as easily been the Muslim Club.

During the annual Nabi Musa (the corrupted Muslim version of Moses) procession in Jerusalem in March 1920, Muhammad al-Husayni publicly denounced the Balfour Declaration as a betrayal of Arab Muslims by the British. And that was funny, since it was the Balfour Declaration that awarded most of the Middle East to Muslims - including the great reservoirs of crude beneath their sands. It was also ironic, since the inspiration for the Balfour Declaration had been Chaim Weizmann. When he was asked what he wanted for having saved the British Empire he asked for nothing more than an insignificant sliver of \desert the British now owned as a result of having defeated the Ottoman Empire with the benefit of his invention. Chaim Weizmann requested and was given that portion of land which had been the historic homeland of his people, the Jews. It was the land given to them by Yahweh in his revelation to the prophet Moses.

In his speech, al-Husayni, who had by now earned a nasty reputation as a violent and fanatical anti-Semite, called for unification of Judea into Syria (At the time, there was no such thing as a "Palestinian" people.). Rife with Islamic hatred for Jews, and inspired by Muhammad's remarks, the Nabi Musa procession turned into a violent riot. Then, as Muslims are wont to do, they began killing Jews, starting with those who were praying at the Western Wall.

The Passover Riots represented the first occurrence of Islamic terrorism in Judea during the post-Ottoman, British Mandate period. Being anti-Semitic themselves, the British garrison did not intervene, allowing Muslims to kill at will. The British did, however, convict Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni for his role in instigating the Islamic intifada. The Muslim lad was sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor in a British prison. It was sadly in absentia, since the hoodlum had already fled to Damascus by way of Trans-Jordan.

Throughout the early 1920s, al-Husayni focused his efforts on seeing to it that the Balfour Declaration's award of Trans-Jordan to the Jews was not implemented while the Accord's establishment of Greater Syria was made permanent. But that hypocritical dream went up in smoke after Britain ceded control over present-day Syria and Lebanon to France in July 1920 with the Sykes-Picot Agreement. The French army entered Damascus, overthrew King Faisal and dissolved Greater Syria.

After this, al-Husayni turned from a Damascus-oriented Pan-Islamic empire to the establishment of a Palestinian state centered on Jerusalem which would require a repudiation of the Balfour Declaration and the expulsion of Jews and non-Muslims from the region. In Islamic parlance, Palestine would become Dar al-Islam, or the House of Submission. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Allah's Qur'an and Muhammad's Hadith predisposed the world into two factions, Dar al-Islam, literally "the House of Submission," and Dar al-Harb, "the House of War." This remains how most Muslims, and all Islamic terrorists, see the world. It is Islam's frame of reference.

In 1921, the British military administration was replaced by a civilian one, as a mandate under the League of Nations. Having forgotten their promises to Chaim Weizmann and his people, the British doomed their nation to further endure the consequences of having failed to uphold the covenant the Children of Israel had made with Yahweh. Yet, the Jews whom they sought to shortchange, would return to Israel in spite of the British, because God had promised they would. However, the Holocaust, not Weizmann's inventions, would be their ticket home.

Following the death of Muhammad al-Husayni's brother Kamil, who was the former Islamic Mufti, the British High Commissioner Herbert Samuel decided to pardon Muhammad al-Husayni for his role in inciting Muslims to murder Jews and loot their homes. They did this so that they could promote the 26-year-old mass murderer, appointing the under-educated Muslim "Mufti," or "Islamic Scholar." Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni was now Mufti of Jerusalem, an esteemed Islamic cleric who was authorized to interpret the Qur'an, Hadith, Sunnah, and Sharia, and who, based upon his knowledge of Islam, was licensed to issue binding religious dictates called fataawa. Appealing to the young Muslim's ego, it was Herbert Samuel who contrived the use of "Grand" before the title "Mufti.".

Simultaneous with the aggrandizement, the British appointed Grand Mufti Muhammad Hadj Amin al-Husseini, President of the newly created Supreme Muslim Council. The Patriarch of Palestinian Terrorism, was now all but Caliph and King of the Arab Muslims living in the Promised Land. It was a seminal moment in time. Prior to the elevation of this miserable man to power, Arab leaders were content to allow Jews to survive in the sliver of desert known as Judea, but Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni, President of the Supreme Muslim Council, would have none of that. He turned back the clock exactly 1300 years, to 621, and the beginning of the Islamic Era. It was then that Muhammad and the first Muslims "declared war on all mankind" and began their systematic assault on Jews, exiling, robbing, raping, enslaving and murdering a higher percentage of Jews within their reach than would Hitler's Nazis, the man and dogma Muhammad al-Husayni would soon ally.

As you might expect, rewarding the Muslim murderer with the title of Grand Mufti and President of the Supreme Muslim Council brought with it a wave of new violence. He began a campaign of terror and intimidation against anyone who opposed his rule or his mandates - and that included killing Jews at every opportunity. The Grand Mufti told one of his confidants: "The Zionists will be massacred to the last man. We want no progress, no prosperity. Nothing but the sword will decide the fate of this country.".

In May 1921, mobs of Muslims shouting "Allahu Akbar" launched terrorist assaults on Jewish communities in Jaffa, Rehovot, and Petah Tikva. In one riot alone, 47 Jews were killed and 73 were wounded. The Muslim casualties of 48 killed and 73 wounded were almost entirely due to British troops, since they had made Jewish defense organizations illegal. Of the riots, the Haycraft Commission found: "The racial strife was begun by the Arabs, and rapidly developed into a conflict of great violence between Arabs and Jews, in which the Arab majority, who were generally the aggressors, inflicted most of the casualties. The fundamental cause of the riots was a feeling among the Arabs of discontent with, and hostility to, the Jews, due to political and economic causes, and connected with Jewish immigration.".

While 47 dead Jews may not mean much to you, the British response to the Islamic uprising should. Sir Herbert Samuel, the High Commissioner, capitulated to the Islamic terrorists and ordered a halt to Jewish immigration into the very land his nation had promised the Jews. This in turn led to the 1922 British White Paper, in which the Balfour Declaration was reinterpreted with regard to the Jews. As Neville Chamberlain had done with Adolf Hitler, the British once again cowered in the face of terror and appeased the Muslims by giving the terrorists what they wanted. There would be no Jewish state. Having reneged on their pledge, the White Paper said that the British no longer supported a separate nation as a Jewish National Home, only a continuation of the community within the Palestine region. Then, within a month of issuing the formal declaration that they could not be trusted, the British awarded 76% of the land they had promised to Chaim Weizmann to Emir Abdullah, the Commander who was "Slave to Allah," creating the Islamic fiefdom of Jordan.

With the 26-year-old's elevation to President of the Supreme Muslim Council, Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni controlled the Waif funds and controlled the Islamic Sharia courts. Under the dominion of Islam where there is never a separation of mosque and state, these courts appointed all teachers, police, and preachers. It gave this modern incarnation of Muhammad absolute control over the minds, lives, souls, and pocketbooks of his Islamic stooges.

As his first order of business, al-Husayni launched an international Islamic campaign to improve and restore the Islamic shrine known as the Dome of the Rock, or as I like to call it, the Dome of the Hoofy Print. Dominating the Jewish Temple Mount, the Dome is a testament to Muhammad's most embarrassing moment. In the wake of his Satanic Verses scandal, Islam's lone founder and Allah's solitary messenger hallucinated that he rode a winged ass from Mecca to Jerusalem one night, to visit with the Jewish prophets in the Temple and then ride up to heaven, passing hell on the way. Of course, the Temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed a half a millenium before Muhammad (and therefore Islam) claimed that this happened, the Jewish prophets were long since dead, and even Allah couldn't fashion a set of wings that would enable an ass to get airborn - let alone two asses. But, nonetheless, the religion based upon lies used this colorful one to snub their collective noses at the Jews, building Allah's demonic shrine on top of the site that had witnessed Yahweh's Temple.

Al-Husayni's next order of business was the 1929 Hebron massacre in which the Islamic Grand Mufti inspired mobs of angry Muslims to murder 67 Jews, a third of whom were teenagers, in celebratory riots. To instigate the riots, the President of the Supreme Muslim Council lied, falsely claiming that Jews had defiled and endangered local Islamic mosques, including al-Aqsa, built into the southern side of Yahweh's Temple Mount. This form of deceitful treachery had become standard Islamic fare. Muslims, starting with Muhammad, told their stooges the opposite of what was true, in effect, destroying their ability to be moral. It is why Muhammad said: "War is deceit" and "I have been made victorious with terror.".

The Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni, President of the Supreme Muslim Council, shouted "Izbah al-Yahud!" He said: "Slaughter the Jews!" So crazed jihadists murdered another 133 Jewish men and children in the Promised Land while plundering their homes and raping their wives and mothers. At the time, Muslim Arab policemen under the control of the Mufti, deserted the Jewish areas of Jerusalem, Motza, Safed, Hebron, and Jaffa and let the slaughter commence. The onslaught would continue for seven days. More than 300 Jews were wounded in the Islamic assault.

Demonstrating the propensity of Islamic clerics and political leaders to deceive the media, Grand Mufti, after murdering Jewish families, disseminated photographs of the bloodied Jewish women and children with the claim that the dead were instead Arab Muslims killed by the Jews. As a result of terror and propaganda, the Jews who lived in Hebron and who purchased the lands on which they lived in Hebron, were exiled by the Muslims who continued to occupy their homes until the Six-Day War of 1967.

The acting British Superintendent, Raymond Cafferata, testified: "On hearing screams in a room I went up a sort of tunnel passage and saw an Arab in the act of cutting off a child's head with a sword. He had already hit him and was having another cut, but on seeing me he tried to aim the stroke at me, but missed. He was practically on the muzzle of my rifle. I shot him low in the groin. Behind him was a Jewish woman smothered in blood. She was being assaulted by a man I recognized as an Arab police constable named Issa Sherif from Jaffa in Mufti. He was standing over the woman with a dagger in his hand. He saw me and bolted into a room close by and tried to shut me out - shouting in Arabic, 'Your Honor, I am a policeman.' I went into the room and shot him.".

In the immediate aftermath of this event, Sir John Chancellor condemned "the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and bloodthirsty evildoers... murders perpetrated upon defenseless members of the Jewish population... accompanied by acts of unspeakable savagery.".

The first three people murdered by the Islamic rioters were Eliezer Dan, his wife, and four-year-old son. The religious savages wounded his three-year-old child but he managed to survive. Within ten minutes, twenty more Jews fell victim to Islam. As a result, no Jews lived in Hebron for 37 years.

After many Jews had been killed and exiled, the Grand Mufti, in cooperation with the British government, consolidated his power by recruiting Muslims into an armed militia he called the Mufti's Mujahideen. The President of the Supreme Muslim Council used anti-Semitic propaganda and his Islamic religious credentials to raise funds from around the Muslim world in support of his campaign to "Slaughter the Jews.".

Being an Islamic cleric meant that the Mufti was a liar. He told the British that his Mufti Mujahideen was "a peacekeeping force." As a reward for his duplicity and anti-Semitism, Muhammad al-Husayni was named president of the World Islamic Congress - an organization which he had to create in 1931 to earn the lofty promotion. This bad boy had an ego.

The Grand Mufti's World Islamic Congress was attended by 130 Muslims from 22 Islamic countries. They called on all Muslims to do whatever they could to harass Jews in Palestine, including the imposition of economic sanctions - something that would soon matter because in 1932 oil was discovered under the new Islamic fiefdoms of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, and Iraq.

At this meeting of Muslims, the under-educated Islamic scholar also used the World Islamic Congress to campaign for the establishment of the University of al-Aqsa in Jerusalem - with it being seen as the center of Islamic learning. However, even the Muslims saw through the Mufti's act, and categorized the whole affair as nothing more than al-Husayni's attempt at self aggrandizement with the ultimate goal of him being promoted from Grand Mufti to Caliph - absolute ruler of the Islamic world.

In April 1936, in a dispute with warring Muslim warlords, an Islamic rebellion was instigated across the country. It was openly and officially led by the Grand Mufti himself. His Arab Higher Committee, founded a week after the rebellion began, with the Mufti presiding, issued a fatwa that required a universal work stoppage and called for the nonpayment of all taxes, effectively shutting down government. In addition, the Committee demanded an end to Jewish immigration, a ban on land sales to Jews (evidence in itself that the Jews did not "invade Palestine and steal the land"), and national independence from the British. Jewish communities and kibbutzim became the target of Muslim snipers, bombers, and all manner of terrorists. So it appears that Yasser Arafat was not the least bit inventive, nor accurate, when he called his uprising against the Jews: "The First Intifada.".

After fifteen months of Islamic-sponsored chaos and brutality, in July 1937, British police were sent to arrest Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni for his role in instigating the Islamic rebellion. Sadly, the Grand Mufti was tipped off and he escaped once again, this time to the Haram, or Islamic protected zone surrounding the Ka'aba in Mecca. There, the British decided it was inadvisable to touch him.

Hunkering down in the flea-infested, sun-baked and backward town of Mecca, in September 1937, the self-serving one was removed from the presidency of the Muslim Supreme Council and his Arab Higher Committee was declared illegal. So in October, the defrocked Muhammad al-Husayni fled to Lebanon. There, he reconstituted the Arab Higher Committee under his domination.

During this time, the condemned convict and mass murderer retained the support of most of the Muslims in Israel. And through his Mufti Mujahideen, he used his influence to punish all competitive Islamic clans and sects. While Muhammad remained in Lebanon for two more years, his deteriorating relationship with the French and Syrian authorities ultimately caused him to flee Lebanon and immigrate into Iraq in October, 1939.

But just because the snake was gone did not mean that his venom went with him. The rebellion the Islamic Mufti inspired lasted through 1939, when the slaughter of Palestinian opportunity and Jewish lives by the Mufti Mujahideen was finally quelled by British troops. And while that might sound like good news, it wasn't. Ending the reign of Muslim terror required Britain to make substantial concessions to Islamic demands - all of which punished Jews unjustifiably. For example, the British formally abandoned even their pretence of allowing a Jewish community within the region. As such, the British response to the Grand Mufti's intifada facilitated the conditions which led to the holocaust.

While Jewish immigration was temporarily reinstated for another five years, allowing a total of 75,000 Jews to immigrate and buy homes and farms in the Promised land, immigration thereafter would depend on Muslim consent, which means it was made illegal. Yet even with all of these appeasements, the Grand Mufti al-Husayni felt that the concessions given to stop the terrorism he inspired, did not go far enough, so he repudiated the new policy.

In 1933, within weeks of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in what was becoming Nazi Germany, Muhammad al-Husayni sent a telegram to Berlin saying: "I look forward to spreading your ideology in the Middle East." The Islamic Mufti offered the Nazi Germans his services.

While you might see this as an odd thing for an Islamic religious and political leader to do, it isn't really. The religion Hitler created in Mein Kampf is remarkably similar to Islam - so similar in fact that apart from time, people, and place, they are indistinguishable. Because most people don't know that substantial portions of Mein Kampf were devoted to creating a "People's Religion," the Religion of Man, or that the Nazi religion was modeled after Islam, I devoted 77 pages of Prophet of Doom to the juxtaposition of Hitler's recital with that of Muhammad. I strongly encourage you to read the side-by-side comparison of Islam's and Nazism's scriptures beginning with the "Demented Deity" chapter (pages 195-196), then "Mein Kampf" (pages 388-402), followed by "Islam's Holocaust" (pages 476-492), "Blood & Booty" (pages 545-560), and finally "Profitable Prophet Plan" (pages 658-670). By doing so, you will not only understand why the Muslim Mufti was eager to spread Nazi ideology, but you will also appreciate the cost of continuing to tolerate Islam. The last time this immoral ideology was appeased, 55-million people died. Today, the consequence of appeasing Islam is far greater because the weapons are more lethal. Armed with atomic bombs, Islamic fascists have already begun a war in which Yahweh tells us that one in four people on the planet will die. That war culminates disastrously on Friday, April 13th, 2029, so we don't have much time.

Along these lines, another fact is relevant. While Americans are almost universally ignorant of Hitler's testimony, Mein Kampf (or My Jihad) remains a bestseller in the land of Islam. More copies are sold in the Middle East than the rest of the world combined. Also, so that you are not misled, the relevancy of Hitler's manifesto in Muslim countries has nothing to do with Fascism, because there is no advocacy or even mention of that political/economic system in the Fuhrer's tome. The common ground is the religion and the spirit behind it. It is from there that their common symptoms emerge, including a shared hatred of Jews.

The Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin Al-Husayni's offer was rejected at first by the Nazis out of concern for prematurely disrupting Anglo-German relations. The war was still six years away, and the British had not yet given the Nazis Czechoslovakia, so the benefits of allying with the anti-British anti-Semite were offset by considerable liabilities. However, the Grand Mufti was persistent. One month later, al-Husayni secretly met the Nazi Consul-General Karl Wolff, who came to meet the Muslim religious leader near the Dead Sea. During this meeing, Muhammad expressed his approval of the anti-Jewish boycott taking place in Germany and asked Wolff not to send any Jews to Palestine - he wanted them dead.

Later that year, the Mufti's assistants approached Wolff, seeking his help in establishing an Arab National Socialist, or Nazi party in Palestine. At the time, Wolff and his superiors disapproved because the Nazi party was restricted to German speaking Aryans. While Hitler's Volk's, or People's Religion as presented in Mein Kampf was astonishingly similar to Islam, the Mufti's Muslims were Arabs, not Arians.

On July 21st, 1937, the impatient Nazi Muslim Muhammad Hajj al-Husayni paid a visit to the new German Consul-General, Hans Dohle. The Mufti reiterated his unconditional support for the Nazi ideology and "wanted to know to what extent the Third Reich was prepared to engage with the Arab Muslim movement against the Jews." In this regard, the Islamic leader sent his personal representative to Berlin to advance collaborative discussions with the leadership of the Nazi Party. He was successful.

The Muslim Mufti's next contact with the Third Reich was with the man who would become the architect of the Final Solution, Otto Adolf Eichmann. In the development of the plan to exterminate every Jew on earth, the SS Obersturmbannfuehrer left Nazi Germany to meet with the one man he thought could help him - Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni.

Before we examine the nature of their November 1937 meeting in Jerusalem, and contemplate the consequence, let's consider who Adolf Eichmann was. Born in 1906, the anti-Semitic Nazi was ten years younger than his Muslim mentor. Conceived in Germany, Adolf was raised in Austria. Like his cohort in crime, he attended vocational schools without finishing his studies. Unlike his mentor, Eichmann was born poor. After dropping out of school, he earned a meager living as a traveling vacuum cleaner salesman. But like Muhammad, Adolf played an active role in a violent and racist organization, the Front Fighters Association, while still in his twenties.

In 1932, Eichmann joined the National Socialist Party (the Nazi affiliate in Austria) under the influence of his acquaintance, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who was later to become the head of Reich Security. In the same year, he also entered the Austrian SS (Schutzstaffeln der NSDAP - National Socialist German Workers' Party, Nazi). The following year, Adolf was dismissed from his sales job in the Socony Vacuum Company, so coinciding with Hitler's rise to power, the future architect of the Holocaust left Austria for Germany.

In November 1933, he enlisted for military service in the Austrian SS unit in exile and underwent military training in the SS camps in Lechfeld and Dachau. After attaining the rank of Scharfuehrer (Corporal), he volunteered for service at the Head Office of the Security Service in Berlin. The SD, or Security Service of the Reichsfuehrer-SS, was originally the intelligence wing of the SS and later of the entire National Socialist (Nazi) Party. At its head stood Reinhard Heydrich. He was also appointed head of the State Secret Police (Gestapo). This appointment was given to Heydrich by Himmler, Reichsfuehrer-SS, in his capacity as head of the entire German police within the framework of the Ministry of the Interior.

According to the testimony of Dieter Wisliceny, who was then his Eichmann's superior but became his chief deputy, "Adolf Eichmann came to the Head Office of the Security Service of the Reichsfuehrer-SS in Berlin in October 1934. At first he worked in the Department for Research into the Freemasons, but after a few months, at the beginning of 1935, he was moved to Department II 112 - "Jews." From that time, until the end of the Third Reich, he never ceased to be engaged in combating the Jews. He worked in this Department in Berlin for about three years, until March 1938, and was appointed Referent (Specialist Officer) for Zionist affairs." That was shortly after his November 1937 sojourn to the heart of anti-Semitism - the Muslim enclave of the Grand Mufti.

"The SS Jewish Department dealt in intelligence work, in close co-operation with the parallel Jewish Department in the Gestapo, which had the authority to take action. Adolf Eichmann excelled at this work, and by the end of 1937 he was promoted to officer's rank (Untersturmfuehrer). His personnel report at that time stated: 'Eichmann has acquired comprehensive knowledge of the methods of organization and ideology of the opponent, Jewry... His National Socialist outlook is the basis for his standing both within the service and outside it.'" It was then, the court records reveal, following his visit with the Grand Mufti, that Eichmann was promoted over his own chief, making Dieter Wisliceny his senior assistant.

According to Wisliceny, "Eichmann tried to teach himself Hebrew and even asked his superiors for permission to continue studying the language with a rabbi, but that was rejected. He learned to read Yiddish to the extent of being able to understand the newspaper Haint. At this point the legend cultivated by Eichmann himself said that he had been born in the Templar Colony in Sarona in Palestine." The Knights Templar, Nazism, Islam, and Freemasonry have a great deal in common, and among these unifying traits is their dependence upon myths and revisionist history.

Wisliceny told the Nuremburg judges that "Adolf Eichmann wrote an instructional booklet on Zionist affairs for SS men, and he lectured to SS and army commanders on 'the World Zionist organization, its structure and aims.' In 1937 he was sent to the National Socialist Party rally in Nuremberg to make contacts with persons from abroad, in order to stimulate anti-Jewish propaganda." The first person the architect of the Holocaust visited was the Mufti al-Husayni.

With his next breath, Eichmann's senior deputy said, "In November 1937, he traveled to Palestine and Egypt, together with his superior, Hagen, on an espionage mission, chiefly amongst the Jews. He was instructed, inter alia, to establish contact with the Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini. Their boat anchored at Haifa, and Eichmann went ashore.... A detailed report of their journey has been submitted. I shall quote two passages which illustrate its general tenor.

With regard to the proposal to increase emigration opportunities for German Jews by way of capital transfer in the form of goods, the report states: "Since the above-mentioned emigration of 50,000 Jews per year would chiefly strengthen Jewry in Palestine, this plan is out of the question, in view of the fact that it is the policy of the Reich to avoid the creation of an independent Jewish State in Palestine.".

In the same trial, Eberhard Von Thadden said of Eichmann, "I know that, in principle, any projects proposing the emigration of Jews to Palestine were foiled by the Foreign Ministry, in view of the Arab-oriented policy. I assume that the political department of the Foreign Ministry took part in foiling these projects, because this department was negotiating continuously with Arab representatives, such as the Grand Mufti.".

Now that we know who shaped Adolf Eichmann's strategy vis-à-vis the mass extermination of the Jewish race, let's examine how these events unfolded - to see if the Mufti's influence appreciably and adversely affected the fate of six-million Jewish men, women, and children.

Under the title, "The First State of the Persecution of the Jews in Germany," the Nuremburg transcripts reveal that the pre-1937 attacks on Jews were economic and racist, but not violent or lethal: "The trends became sharper as the years went on, until the outbreak of the War. Already before German Jewry suffered the first shock on 1 April 1933, when Jewish businesses were boycotted, arrests of Jews had begun and Jews were sent to concentration camps [which at the time were harsh forced labor factories, but not death camps]. In September 1935 the Nuremberg Race Laws were published, which turned the Jews into citizens of an inferior grade and forbade marriage and sexual relations between persons belonging to the two peoples. The Citizenship Law also served as the main basis for the discriminatory legislation against the Jews, which followed afterwards.".

But once Eichmann had the benefit of the Mufti's council, things changed. Jews in Germany were treated just like Jews living within the Mufti's realm. "On 27 October 1938 the Germans for the first time carried out an act of mass expulsion against Jews. Thousands of Jews of Polish nationality living in German cities were arrested simultaneously, transported by rail to the Polish border in the region of Zbaszyn and cruelly expelled and forced to cross the border. On 9 November 1938 news came that vom Rath had died of his wounds, and immediately the signal was given for programs against the Jews on the same night known as 'Crystal Night.' In the cities of Germany organized gangs burst into Jewish shops and apartments on orders from above, committed acts of violence against Jews, destroyed and plundered everything that fell into their hands. One hundred and ninety-one synagogues went up in flames and another seventy-six synagogues were demolished. The day after, throughout the Reich, there began the arrests of thousands of male Jews, who were brought to concentration camps." The Nazi uprising replicated the riots the Muslim Mufti had inspired in April 1936.

Next, the Nazis imposed the Muslim Jizyah, or Submission Tax: "On 12 November 1938, Goering, who was in charge of the Four-Year Plan, issued an order for the payment by the Jews of Germany of a billion marks as 'expiation money.' This order was carried out by levying twenty-five percent of the value of Jewish property. He also issued a second order on the same day forbidding Jews, inter alia, to maintain retail establishments and to work as independent craftsmen." Two more acts had been pulled out of Allah's playbook.

The Mufti had imposed legislation whose aim was to confiscate Jewish property, transferring their land to Muslims. And in this regard, he issued decrees that made all Jewish organizations which protested his immoral acts illegal. So we should not be surprised: "During the same period regulations were issued for the Aryanization of Jewish businesses and other assets, that is to say, for their forced transfer to non-Jews at unrealistic prices. Simultaneously with the persecution of the Jews as individuals came the control by the German state over their autonomous institutions. In March 1938, their status as public bodies was withdrawn from the Jewish communities, which thereby lost their authority to levy taxes, and on 4 July 1939, the Jews were organized compulsorily in the 'Reich Association of the Jews in Germany (Reichsvereinigung)' which was placed under the control of the Minister of the Interior--Himmler." The Mufti, if you recall, deployed the same tax strategy early on in his realm.

The Nuremburg transcripts reveal: "The minister was also authorized to disband existing Jewish organizations or to merge them in the Reich Association. Such a merger of an organization involved a transfer of its assets to the Reich. Thus a convenient instrument was created for total control by the Reich Government of the public property of German Jewry." With Islam and Nazism, not only are Jews the enemy, a sub-human species according to both manifestos, both religions exist for the purpose of power and control.

"In the same Order of July 1939, it was stated that the purpose of the Reich Association was 'to promote the emigration of the Jews and the confiscation of their property.' In fact, during that period the Reich regarded as a desirable solution the emigration of the Jews from Reich territory and from the territories which had meanwhile been annexed to the Reich (Austria and the Bohemia-Moravia Protectorate)." But that was not what the Muslim Mufti wanted. Exiling Jews allowed them to live. Muhammad, like the prophet for whom he was named, wanted them dead. And that is why the documents attributable to the Grand Mufti all focus on terminating Jewish immigration.

The Muslim religious and political leader was successful in this regard. Rather than World War II being known for the forced migration of six-million Jews from Europe, it is best known for the Holocaust and the systematic annihilation of a race in death camps. Ironically, the sole impetus for the establishment of the State of Israel after the war was predicated on what the Muslim Mufti did during the war. The Holocaust Muslims are wont to deny, was to a very large degree caused by them.

"Thus the German Foreign Ministry notified its representatives abroad on 8 July 1938 that the transfer of Jewish property abroad was not to be facilitated. And on 8 December 1938 the American Ambassador in Berlin reported a statement by the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ribbentrop, who said that: 'The Jews in Germany without exception were pickpockets, murderers and thieves. The property they possessed was acquired illegally. The German Government has therefore decided to equate their status with the criminal element of the population. The property they acquired illegally will be taken from them.'" This exact same accusation is leveled against Jews a score of times in the Qur'an. The Nazis had once again tipped their hand - the spirit behind Mein Kampf and the Third Reich was Allah, better known as Satan.

Returning to our timeline, a year before Poland was pummeled, al-Husayni's proposed merger of Islam and Nazism was accepted by der Fuhrer. Beginning in August 1938, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem received on behalf of his Mufti Mujahedeen, financial and military assistance and weapons from Nazi Germany and from fascist Italy. Because the attention of the world was turned toward Europe and Asia, no one knows how many Jews were murdered with these weapons.

Against this backdrop of the Nazis arming the Muslim militias, in May 1940, the anti-Semitic British Foreign Office rejected a proposal from the chairman of the Vaad Leumi (Jewish National Council) recommending they assassinate the Nazi Muslim Mufti before he was able to fulfill his goal of exterminating Jews. The failure in this regard would cost millions of Jewish lives.

In November of that year, a much wiser Winston Churchill approved the plan. Churchill was way ahead of his contemporaries, recognizing the nature and threat of Islam long before his peers did. So in May 1941, several members of the Jewish Irgun organization, including its former leader David Raziel, were flown to Iraq on a secret raid, which, according to British sources, included a plan to capture or kill the Mufti. The Irgun version is that they were approached by the British for a sabotage mission and added a plan to capture the Mufti as a condition of their cooperation. But the affair was abandoned when Raziel was killed by a German plane.

By April of 1941 al-Husayni had influenced the Golden Square, a union of pro-Nazi Iraqi army officers. They forced the pro-British Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Pasha, to resign. In May, Nazi Muslims in Iraq declared jihad against Britain. Forty days later, British troops occupied Iraq and the Mufti fled to Nazi Germany, via Iran, Turkey, and Mussolini's offices in Rome. This Iraqi connection helps explain why so many of the Muslims who accompanied the Mufti in his meetings with the Nazi High Command were Iraqis.

Mufti Husayni aided the Axis cause in the Middle East by issuing a fatwa for a holy war against Britain in May 1941. The Palestinian cleric's widely heralded proclamation against Britain was declared in Iraq, where he was instrumental in Muslim the pro-Nazi Iraqi revolt of 1941.

Upon al-Husayni's arrival in Nazi Europe, he met the German Foreign Minister, von Ribbentrop on November 20th, 1941. Records commemorating the relationship between these men were presented at the Nuremburg War Crimes trial. The Court said: "Memoranda sent by the Mufti to the German Foreign Ministry, Ribbentrop and to the satellite governments of Romania and Bulgaria, have been submitted to us, containing the insistent demand that all Jewish immigration into Palestine be prevented. One such document from the Mufti reads: 'I take the liberty of drawing your attention to the fact that it would be indeed appropriate and advantageous if the Jews were to be prevented from emigrating from your country, and if they were sent to a place where they would be placed under strict control, as for example Poland.' It is unnecessary to make any comment upon the phrase "strict control," when the subject under reference is Polish Jewry in the year 1943." The court knew that the Mufti wanted all Jews given a one-way ticket to Auschwitz.

Based upon the evidence, the court went on to report: "It has been proved to us that the Mufti aimed at the implementation of the Final Solution, viz., the extermination of European Jewry, and there is no doubt that, had Hitler succeeded in conquering Palestine, the Jewish population of there as well would have been subject to total extermination, with the support of the Mufti.".

Evidence of malfeasance doesn't get any clearer or more obvious than this. The Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni changed the Nazis minds and altered the course of history, transforming what would have been the exile of six-million Jews into the mass murder of six-million Jewish men, women, and children.

Speaking of Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust, Wisliceny, his deputy testified at the trial, that "The Mufti visited his office in Berlin at the end of 1941 and in the beginning of 1942. The Mr. Eichmann gave him an account of the Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe, and the Mufti was duly impressed. The Mufti told Mr. Eichmann that Himmler had agreed to his request that a Nazi Party member in Eichmann's department [meaning the management of concentration/extermination camps] would come to Jerusalem to serve as personal adviser to him (the Mufti) upon the latter's return to Jerusalem after the victory of the Axis Powers. Mr. Eichmann asked me (Wisliceny) if I would like to take this task upon myself, but I declined.".

It should be noted that the reason Adolf Eichmann did not testify on his own behalf was because he was tried in absentia. He escaped at the end of the war unrecognized and fled to Argentina where he lived under an assumed name for ten years. Had the Isareli Mossad not abducted him in 1960 to stand trial in Jerusalem, he would never have been held accountable for his crime.

Wisliceny went on to speak of the nature of the Mufti's Muslim entourage. Further, he said that the Muslim leader and the Nazis were in constant communication. He testified, "It is correct that those who accompanied the Grand Mufti visited me, and certainly there was some discussion then, though I cannot remember that I ever had a longer conversation with these Iraqi majors beyond general greetings and receiving them and handing them over to the members of my staff.".

The Muslim patriarch of terror and the Nazi architect of the holocaust had so much in common, a meeting was quickly arranged between the Mufti and the Fuhrer. Muhammad al-Husayni was officially received by Adolf Hitler on November 28, 1941 in Berlin. The Islamic leader asked the Nazi dictator for a public declaration that "would support the elimination of a national Jewish homeland.".

Earlier, al-Husayni submitted to the German government a draft of such a declaration, containing a clause: "Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab Muslim countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries. This is required by the national and ethnic (völkisch) interests of the Arab Muslims, and is consistent with how the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy.".

Hitler declined to make a public announcement regarding his Final Solution because such a confession would have adversely affected his concentration camps' deadly efficiency. But privately he looked his soul mate in the eye and made the following declaration according to the notes taken by Dr. Paul Otto Schmidt at the meeting: "Der Führer requests that the Mufti lock this deep in his heart: 1) Der Führer will carry on the fight until the last traces of the Jewish European hegemony has been obliterated. 2) In the course of this fight, the German army will - at a time in the clearly foreseeable future - gain the southern exit of Caucasus. 3) As soon as this breakthrough is made, der Führer will offer the Arab world his personal assurance that the hour of liberation has been struck. Thereafter, Germany's only remaining objective in that region will be limited to the Vernichtung des...Judentums ['annihilation of Jews'] living under British protection in Arab lands." What more could a Muslim want?

In Fleming's Hitler and the Final Solution, the author said: "At this meeting, Hitler promised the Mufti that, after a certain objective was reached, 'Germany's only remaining objective in the region would be limited to the annihilation of the Jews living under British protection in Arab lands.".

Interestingly, Dr. Schmidt's notes from the meeting between Hitler and Husayni were used at Adolf Eichmann's war crimes' trial because they represented the most overt acknowledgement the Nazi Fuhrer made regarding the Final Solution. That means that Hitler's most overt confession regarding the Holocaust and the murder of six-million Jews was induced by an Islamic Mufti, or Scholar.

And while this reality forms a dark cloud over the religion, the Holocaust would have been limited to a few hundred thousand Jews had immigration out of Nazi-occupied Europe not been made illegal. The blood of six-million men, women, and children stain the Muslim Mufti's soul.

There is a subtle insight revealed here that may not be known to most readers. Hitler, like Muhammad, detested the written word because with the enduring memorial came accountability. Further, both men saw the spoken word as compelling because it was more emotionally charged and beguiling. While Hitler did write Mein Kampf, he avoided authorizing any document which could be traced to him personally. Muhammad never wrote a word. The Arabic term Qur'an actually means recital and Hadith, the only other form of Islamic revelation, means Oral Report. Muhammad's Qur'an and Hadith recitals remained hearsay for between one hundred and two hundred years before they were finally committed to paper.

Adolf Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny shared the following insights during the Nuremburg war crimes trial in 1946: "The Mufti 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.... He was one of Eichmann's best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chambers of Auschwitz.".

He also testified: "When the Red Cross offered to mediate with Adolf Eichmann in a trade prisoner-of-war exchange involving the freeing of German citizens in exchange for 5,000 Jewish children being sent from Poland to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, Husseini directly intervened with Himmler and the exchange was cancelled.".

Less than two months after Adolf Hitler discussed the "annihilation of Jews" with Muhammad Husayni, SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Adolf Eichmann and Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's lead deputy, at Hitler's direction conducted the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942, where the "annihilation of Jews" became "the Final Solution." These men laid out a plan to deliberately and efficiently murder six-million people - the total genocide of European Jews. It was in this Wannsee Berlin villa in that the Nazis conceived a plan that was eerily similar to the one the Mufti al-Husayni had witnessed being deployed by the Ottoman Muslims on the Armenian Christians when he had served that German ally in 1915.

When the Nuremburg War Crimes' Trial turned its attention to the Nazi policy of preventing the immigration of Jews into Judea and other countries, the testimony once again focused on Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni. The court records revealed that the attempts Jewish organizations made to save Jews from Nazi death camps were most effectively opposed by one man, the Mufti al-Husayni.

Here is some of that testimony: "We shall now devote our comments to the activity of the Accused (Adolf Eichmann) in regard to the prevention of the immigration of Jews into Palestine and the prevention of their emigration to other countries overseas. These matters are connected with the chapter of desperate attempts made by Jewish institutions and individuals to save Jewish lives from the Nazis, and the degree to which the various governments responded to these rescue efforts. This, too, is a complex chapter of history full of heartbreak, which deserves to be examined thoroughly by the historian, and this Court cannot take this task upon itself. We shall content ourselves with a statement of the facts, which were proved before us, relating to the Adolf Eichmann's activity in this matter.

"The first hint of the Accused's attitude to the question of aliyah (immigration) to Palestine is found in a comment in a report submitted by him, together with Hagen, on their joint journey to Palestine in 1937. As will be remembered, in the report he says that the plan for the emigration of 50,000 Jews "...is out of the question, in view of the fact that it is the policy of the Reich to avoid the creation of an independent Jewish state in Palestine." The Mufti's policy had become Nazi policy. The transcript says: "Mention has previously been made that during this journey he was going to meet the Mufti, Hajj Amin al-Husseini.".

"During the period of the Final Solution, there were two contributory factors in German policy preventing immigration into Palestine: First, the pact signed between the Nazis and certain Arab leaders, headed by the Mufti; and second, the desire to complete the extermination of all the Jews within the area of German influence without leaving any remnant. With regard to emigration to other countries, the second factor operated and was sufficient in itself to stop emigration, not only from the Reich itself - in accordance with Himmler's order - but from the whole area of German influence. The Accused was faithful to the official line, as will be shown from the documents which follow, in addition to those which we have already mentioned in the sections on Romania and Croatia." Please keep Croatia in mind. The Mufti engaged there in a very significant way, and over 800,000 Serb Christians and Jews paid for it with their lives.

"On 11 May 1942, the Accused (Adolf Eichmann) instructed the German Foreign Ministry to prevent Jewish emigration from Romania via Hungary, Croatia and Italy 'by taking appropriate measures.' The Accused also fought the immigration of children into Palestine. On 3 March 1943, he sought to prevent the immigration of 1,000 children from Bulgaria and Turkey. And again Guenther, of his Section, took action against the immigration of 4,000 Jewish children. On 9 April 1943 Richter, from Budapest, informed the Accused that he had taken steps to prevent the transport of the children from Bulgaria. He wrote as follows: 'The President of the Jewish Center has been officially informed that he has to act against the departure of the transport of the Jewish children, since on our part we shall take steps to halt the transport on Bulgarian territory and direct it elsewhere.' It is easy to imagine the meaning of the word 'elsewhere' in this context.".

"In May 1943 SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Adolf Eichmann notified the Foreign Ministry of Himmler's attitude to the emigration of children: 1) Emigration of Jewish children is to be rejected on principle.

2) Approval would be given for the departure of five-thousand Jewish children from the Eastern Occupied Territories, provided that, as a result, German prisoners receive permission to return to the Reich from abroad by way of exchange at a ratio of 1:4, that is to say, a total of twenty-thousand (imprisoned Nazi soldiers for the lives of 4,000 condemned Jewish children). But it must be emphasized that the question here is not one of twenty thousand elderly Germans, but of Germans under forty years of age fit for fighting and begetting offspring. Moreover, the negotiations must be conducted with speed, because the time is approaching when it will no longer be possible technically to enable the five-thousand Jewish children to leave the Eastern Occupied Territories, because of the implementation of our activities against the Jews." Meaning, that in a very short time, the Nazis would have transported them to their extermination camps, separated them from the mothers, and then incinerated their bodies.

"3) In spite of what has been said in paragraph 1, as far as the need becomes apparent to agree to the departure of Jewish children from Romania or from other Balkan countries, importance is attached to the fact that this, too, should not be done without a quid pro quo, but in accordance with the procedure outlined in paragraph 2." It is hard to imagine the Devil himself being this morally bankrupt. But yet the dogmas he inspired, Nazism and Islam, and the men he infected, Nazis and Muslims, came to believe that the slaughter of Jewish children was not a matter of being jusitifiable. It was good.

"In this regard, we shall mention an additional memorandum of the Foreign Ministry of May 1944, a year later. 'Secret information has come from the Reich that 5,000 Jewish children, who could be considered for departure, are still to be found only in the Lodz Ghetto. But this ghetto will be closed down shortly, in accordance with the instructions of the Reichsfuehrer-SS.'" That is to say, the starving children the Nazis had herded into the Polish slums would be put out of their misery. One-million Jewish children under the age of five were exterminated at the direction of Hitler, who was inspired by Husayni.

Eichmann wrote: "We have seen to it that the German Embassy does everything to delay the emigration efforts, and finally, after the continued evacuation of the Jews [to death camps], will stop the emigration efforts completely.... And it should be said that emigration to Palestine...does not meet with Germany's approval." The Mufti's bloodied fingerprints were all over the Final Solution.

Adolf Eichmann would later write: "The consent of the Reich Government in regard to the proposals for Jewish emigration which have come from the governments of Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States is that Hitler has agreed to the emigration of several thousand Hungarian Jews, on condition that all of the remaining Jews of Hungary (especially the Jews of Budapest) are handed over to the Germans." Hitler was willing to exchange the lives of a few thousand Jews for the opportunity to kill a few-hundred thousand.

The Nuremburg transcripts read: "And here the Accused reaches the extreme limit in his struggle against the rescue efforts. Veesenmayer writes in a cable dated 25 July 1944: 'SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Eichmann, head of the Jewish Operations Units of the Gestapo here, has taken the stand that, as far as he knows, in no circumstances does the Reichsfuehrer agree to the emigration of Hungarian Jews to Palestine. The Jews in question are without exception important biological material, many of them veteran Zionists, whose emigration to Palestine is most undesirable. Having regard to the Fuehrer's decision, of which he had been informed, he is about to submit a report to the Reichsfuehrer-SS. Furthermore, it has been agreed with Eichmann that, to the extent that assent will be given to additional evacuations of Jews from Budapest, these are to be carried out as far as possible suddenly, and with such speed that the Jews in question will already have been deported before the completion of the formalities.'" While it is astonishing that complete annihilation of a race was a mere "formality" to these lost souls, this document once again reveals the influence the Muslim Mufti had on the Nazi Fuhrer.

The Nuremburg judges called the documents related to the Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin Husayni's role in increasing the scope of the Final Solution by prohibiting immigration "more damning than a hundred witnesses would be." They also noted that "while the Fuehrer's orders were not in writing, and Himmler's orders were, the fact remains that they ordered the total extermination of the Jews, and all of Eichmann's actions were guided by it.".

Earlier in the testimony, we encouraged you to pay special attention to Croatia and the Balkans. On June 12th, 1941, the Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni brokered a deal on behalf of Adolf Hitler with the Fascist Roman Catholic Ustashi government in Croatia, to restrict the movement of all Jews and Serbs in occupied Europe. This in turn facilitated the systematic killing of Jews and Orthodox Christian Serbs and thereby prevented their immigration into Israel. With the Grand Mufti's direct involvement and influence, during the four years between 1941 and 1945 the Ustashi State of Croatia executed over 800,000 Serbs and Jews in its territory. But that was only a small part of the Mufti's "success" in the Balkans. This Muslim cleric's work on behalf of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in Croatia served as the model that was followed elsewhere, increasing the number of Jews killed in the holocaust by at least two million and perhaps by as many as five million.

The marriage of Ustashi Catholicism, Islam, and Nazi-style Fascism was on the surface a strange one. The Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, under the entry of "Muhammad Husseini - Hitler's Supporter," writes: "It so happened that Husseini made his contribution to the Axis war effort in his capacity as a Muslim, rather than as an Arab leader. He did so by recruiting and organizing in record time Bosnian Muslim Battalions in Croatia comprising over twenty-thousand men. These Islamic volunteer units, called Hanjar (Sword), were put in Waffen SS uniforms and they fought Yugoslav partisans in Bosnia. They also carried out police and security duties in Hungary. They participated in the massacre of civilians in Bosnia and volunteered to join in the hunt for Jews in Croatia. The Germans made a point of publicizing the fact that Husseini had flown from Berlin to Sarajevo for the sole purpose of giving his blessing to the Muslim Nazi SS Army and inspecting its arms and training exercises.".

A photograph of Muhammad al-Husayni, the Islamic Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, shows him inspecting Muslim troops in Bosnia as they paraded by in their SS uniforms and helmets. He was clearly proud of himself, not only for beguiling one in five Muslim men of fighting age into goose-stepping with the Nazi war machine, but because of the role he had played in assuring that millions of Jews and Christians would die rather than immigrate out of Nazi-controlled Europe.

It should also be noted that the interpretation of the Nazi Volk's or People's Religion adopted within the SS was wholly Satanic. And it was this fundamentalist Nazism that made the most ruthless soldiers - men capable of murdering millions of women and children without remorse. In this regard, it is the same as fundamentalist Islam and its effect on jihadists and suicide bombers. They have been conditioned by their religion to believe that murdering civilians en masse is good - a service to their god and leader, der fuehrer Muhammad.

Having made his program of extermination rather than immigration the official edict of the Fuhrer, the Mufti spent the remainder of the war conducting radio propaganda on behalf of Nazi Germany, implementing espionage and the fifth column activities in Muslim regions of Europe and the Middle East, assisting with the formation of Muslim Waffen SS units in the Balkans, and forming training centers for Muslim imams and mullahs who would accompany the Muslim SS and Wehrmacht units.

It is shock to most people that the Mufti al-Husayni was successful not only in convincing Hitler and Himmler that Islam was sufficiently similar to Nazism for Muslims to serve in the SS, but that he was also successful in recruiting a sufficient number of Bosnian Muslims to fill three Divisions of Waffen SS units. The largest was the 13th Handschar (Hanjar, Khanjar, Scimitar or Sword) Division of 21,065 Muslim men, which conducted operations in the Balkans. These SS Jihadists assisted the Ustashi Croats in their slaughter of 800,000 Serbs and Jews.

But the Grand Mufti al-Husayni's demented behavior wasn't limited to Europe. He attempted a chemical warfare assault on the largest predominantly Jewish city in Israel, Tel Aviv. Five parachutists were sent with a toxin to dump into the water system. The police caught the infiltrators in a cave near Jericho, and according to the police commander Fayiz Bey Idrissi, "The laboratory report stated that each container held enough poison to kill 25,000 people, and there were at least ten containers.".

Recent Nazi documents uncovered in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicated that in the event of the British being defeated in Egypt by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps the Nazis had planned to deploy a special unit called Einsatzkommando Ägypten to exterminate Palestinian Jews and that they wanted Arab support to prevent the emergence of a Jewish state. These records indicate that, "the most important collaborator with the Nazis was Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem." According to the evidence, Husayni was a prime example of how Muslims and Nazis worked together. The documents reveal that al-Husayni met many times with Adolf Eichmann in the planning and execution of the Holocaust.

The Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry's report dated April 20, 1946 revealed: "The flight of the Mufti, Haj Amin el-Husseini, to Italy and Germany, and his active support of the Axis, did not lose for him his following, and he is probably the most popular Arab leader in Palestine today." (Appendix IV. Palestine: Historical Background - The Arabs and the War).

After the war, al-Husayni fled to Switzerland, was detained and put under house arrest in France, but escaped and was given asylum in Egypt. Jewish groups petitioned the British to have him indicted as a war criminal. The British declined, partly because such a move would have added to their growing problems in the areas of the Middle East they still controlled, where the mass murdering Muslim al-Husayni was still popular. So it was from Egypt that the Grand Mufti Muhammad Hajj al-Husayni was among the lead sponsors of the 1948 war against the new State of Israel.

From the time the British gave Transjordan to King Abdullah and his minority clan, the fiefdom east of the River became a pariah among Muslims - a condition Yahweh tells us will continue through the end of the Islamic Magog War. Doing his part to fulfill prophecy, the newly minted Jordanian monarch gave the position of Grand Mufti of East Jerusalem (the portion of the divided city Jordan controlled) to one of Muhammad Hajj Amin Husayni's rivals. Unwilling to share power with anyone other than Adolf Hitler, the co-Mufti collaborated in the assassination of King Abdullah in 1951. But that didn't help much, because the next dictator, King Talal, was also hostile to the so-called "Palestinian people" and refused to give al-Husayni permission to enter Jerusalem. A year later, when King Talal was declared incompetent, Jordan's King Hussein prohibited the Egyptian-based Grand Mufti access to the city for which he was named leader.

And while this Jordanian hostility might have irritated Muhammad Hajj al-Husayni, it served him well, because Egypt has long been the wellspring of anti-Semitism. In February 1948, in Cairo and also in Damascus, the Mufti was involved in the strategy sessions with Islamic leaders that precipitated their 1948 incursions into the Promised Land during the first Islamic-Israeli War. One of their purposes was to organize Palestinian Field Commands - something for which the father of the Mufti Mujahadeen and the Muslim Sword SS Divisions was perfectly suited. Hasan Salama's Holy War Army and al-Husayni's Nazi equipped Mufti Mujahadin were reinvigorated. However, the Mufti's reputation for being conniving and power hungry, caused the Muslim hierarchy to put these jihadists under the command of less-problematic leaders. And that battlefield decision paved the way for an undermining of the Mufti's position among the Islamic States.

On February 9th, only four days after the final Damascus preparatory session, another blow was suffered by the Mufti at the Arab League session in Cairo. When the Mufti asserted his demand for the appointment of a Palestinian (guess who) to the General Staff of the League, for the formation of a Palestinian Provisional Government, for the transfer of authority to local National Committees in areas evacuated by the British, for a loan for the new administration in Palestine, and for the appropriation of large sums of money to Palestinians leaders, such as himself, who were deemed entitled to war damages, every request was rejected. That means that when Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were in complete control of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, they said "no" to a Palestinian state. So when they demand it of the Jews today, team Islam is being completely hypocritical.

With the Palestinian leader ostracized, the Arab League temporarily blocked recruitment to the Mufti Mujahideen - the best equipped and organized fighting force in Israel at the time. This was followed by the unexplained and sudden death of al-Husayni's most charismatic commander, Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, on April 8th.

But then the Palestinian Mufti had a turn of fortune as the Israeli War of Independence turned against the Muslims. Following rumors that King Abdullah of Transjordan was re-opening the bi-lateral negotiations with Israel that he had previously conducted in secret with the Jewish Agency, the Arab League, led by Egypt, decided to set up the All-Palestine Government in Gaza on the 8th of September under the nominal leadership of the Mufti.

This move was intended as a rebuke of Jordan, which was the first to abandon the Muslim cause. However, there was far more to it than that. The war was lost so the decision to form the Government of All-Palestine in Gaza, and the feeble attempt to create armed forces under its control, furnished members of the Arab League with the means to divest themselves of direct responsibility for continuing to prosecute the war. They could now withdraw their forces from Palestine without losing face, giving the Islamic leadership some protection against the popular outcry to stay the course. It also served to entrench Jordan as the black sheep of the Islamic world. And as predicted, King Abdullah regarded the attempt to revive the Mufti's Mujahideen as a challenge to his authority. So on October 3rd his Minister of Defense ordered all Jordanian troops operating in Israel disbanded.

Although the Mufti was engaged in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence for only a brief time, he was able to unleash his big mouth: "I declare a holy war, my Muslim brothers! Murder the Jews! Murder them all!" (Leonard Davis and M. Decter, Myths and Facts: A Concise Record of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, Washington DC: Near East Report, 1982, p. 199).

After firing the salvo to which all good Muslims rally, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Muhammad Hajj Amin al-Husayni (Huseini) faded away. He died in Beirut, Lebanon in 1974. He wished to be buried in Jerusalem, but the Israeli government refused this request.

Yasser Arafat was one of Hajj Amin al-Husayni's protégés. In an interview with the London-based Arabic language newspaper Al Sharq al Awsat, reprinted by the leading Palestinian daily Al Quds (August 2, 2002), Fatah's founder admits as much. Interviewer: I have heard voices from within the Palestinian Authority in the past few weeks, saying that the reforms are coordinated according to American whims... Arafat: We are not Afghanistan. We are the mighty people. Were they able to replace our hero Hajj Amin al-Husseini? There were a number of attempts to get rid of Hajj Amin, whom they considered an ally of the Nazis. But even so, he lived in Cairo, and participated in the 1948 war. I was one of his troops.".

According to John Marlowe, "The dominant figure in Palestine during the Mandate years was neither an Englishman nor a Jew, but an Arab - Haj Amin Muhammad al Husaini.... Ambitious, ruthless, humorless, and incorruptible [meaning that his interpretation of Islam was uncorrupted], he was of the authentic stuff of which dictators are made.".

Ironically, while the consequences of the Mufti's demented life were grievous for Jews, the Islamic leader's every move served to facilitate the creation of the modern state of Israel. The holocaust Muslims are want to deny, as they know it is what prompted the world to give the Jews back their land, was promoted by one of their own.

- July 7, 1974: A Japanese hijacker held 89 hostages aboard a Japan Airlines jetliner departing from Osaka for more than five hours. He demanded the release of an imprisoned Japanese Red Army leader (Takaya Shiomi) and a plane to take them both to North Korea. The hijacker was captured and the passengers escaped while the plane was being refueled at Nagoya, Japan.

While America liked to condemn North Korea and Cuba for being terrorist states, there was very little evidence to support the claim. This, and a failed assassination attempt on August 15th, was only the second and third times in 14 years that we have found a terrorist event linked even tangentially to North Korea. Further, the overwhelming preponderance of terrorist incidents regarding Cuba were perpetrated by anti-Castro gangs.

- July 15, 1974: A series of bomb attacks destroyed thirteen buses in a parking lot and along the route of the Tour de France bicycle race near Lourdes and Saint-Lary, in which Spanish riders competed. GARI claimed responsibility for the bombings. While Muslims were behind the majority of terrorist attacks in the 1970s, they were a long way from their stranglehold on tactic as the new millennia dawned.

- July 21, 1974: Four assailants attacked Chilean ambassador Alfredo Canales Marquis and his wife as they were entering their apartment in Beirut. The attackers fired four shots at the ambassador, wounding him critically. All four gunman managed to escape. The Lebanese Revolutionary Organization known as the Shibbu Gang, claimed responsibility for the attempted assassination.

- August 1, 1974: In Egypt, jihadists placed an underwater bomb on the vessel Alcazar which had sailed from Singapore. The explosion resulted in nearly 150 feet of bilge keel buckling, effectively destroying the ship.

- August 2, 1974: In Lebanon, a man was observed leaving a briefcase at the Pan Am office in Beirut and then departing quickly. His case contained a dynamite bomb, which experts defused. The Muslim man was subsequently arrested.

- August 3, 1974: In France, three car-bomb explosions took place outside the offices of the conservitive newspapers (L'Aurore and Minute) and the Jewish Social Fund. The French papers received a communiqué on August 5th with a PFLP signature claiming responsibility in the name of "Commando Muhammad Boudia" (an Algerian member of the PFLP who was killed in Paris in 1973 when his car exploded; he was allegedly targeted because or his role in the Black_September Olympic Games murders). Two people were slightly injured by the explosions.

- August 5, 1974: In Belgium, bombs exploded during the night in front of three branch offices of the Spanish Bank in Brussels, and during the morning rush hour in front of the downtown office of Iberia Airlines. In the last blast, five people were injured. Pamphlets found at one of the banks were signed by GARI.

- August 6, 1974: In Jamaica, a small bomb exploded on the grounds of the Cuban embassy in Kingston, causing slight damage but no injuries. The perpetrators were not identified, although they might have been associated with the FLNC, which had claimed responsibility for a bombing of the embassy on March 26.

The same day in Puerto Rico, an explosive device containing nuts and bolts was detonated at the front door of the Venezuelan consulate in San Juan, causing extensive damage. The Cuban M-7 organization claimed it set the bomb to protest "deals of the Venezuelan government with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro."

- August 14, 1974: In Syria, a homemade bomb exploded at night near the entrance of the U.S. pavilion at the Damascus International Fair, causing serious damage to the Skylab exhibit. One pavilion guard and a policeman sustained minor injuries. According to the Beirut newspapers, a newly surfaced group, The Arab Communist Organization, announced the following day that it was responsible for the bomb explosion.

- August 15, 1974: In South Korea, the wife of President Chung Hee Park was fatally wounded by an assassin's bullet intended for her husband. A 17-year-old girl was also killed by a stray bullet. The assassin, identified as Mun Se Kwang, a Korean who had been living in Osaka, Japan, was seized after being wounded by security guards. South Korean investigators charged that the attempted assassination of President Park had been plotted by the North Korean government. Kwang had been a member of the Osaka branch of the Korean Youth League, an anti-Park organization of Korean residents in Japan. He was reportedly recruited by North Korean agents in 1972 and assigned the mission of killing Park in November 1973.

- August 19, 1974: In Cyprus, U.S. Ambassador Rodger Davies and one local employee, an embassy secretary, were killed when armed Cypriot Muslims fired shots at the ambassador's office and residence. In early 1977, Cypriot authorities arrested six terrorists on charges of murder and illegal possession of firearms in connection with the incident. After trial in Nicosia, two were acquitted; the others received various sentences.

- August 25, 1974: In West Germany, a terrorist group calling itself the Commando Muhammad Boudia (an Algerian member of the PFLP and BSO) claimed responsibility for a bomb attack on a crane construction factory in Mannheim. According to a report in the Beirut Daily Star, the group bombed the factory, which was owned by the Korf group, because Korf had invested in an Israeli steelworks two years earlier.

- August 26, 1974: Shortly after landing in Rome, a fire broke out in the aft baggage compartment of a TWA flight. The fire was caused by a bomb that had malfunctioned. No one was injured. The attempt may have been a precursor to the bombing of TWA 841 less than two weeks later.

- September 8, 1974: TWA flight 841 from Tel Aviv to New York by way of Athens, crashed when a bomb placed in the luggage compartment exploded, killing 88 Jews, Americans, and Greeks. Having completed a tour of Africa, and having come down with malaria, I was booked home on that flight. I missed the connection from Cairo to Athens, which is how my life was spared.

The Trans World Airlines Boeing 707 had left Tel Aviv, Israel earlier in the day. The flight made their scheduled stopover in Athens, Greece, before heading on to Rome, Italy and then to New York City. Just 18 minutes after takeoff, the plane disintegrated in mid air. The 707 crashed into the Ionian Sea killing 88 people (79 passengers and 9 crewmembers).

Subsequent investigations concluded that the plane was brought down by a bomb hidden in the aft cargo hold that caused a structural failure. An Islamic terrorist group in associated with Abu Nidal claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Abu Nidal, who was born Sabri Khalil al-Banna, was the founder of Fatah-the Revolutionary Council. Transliterated from the Arabic, his Fatah al-Majles al-Thawy became known to the world as the Abu Nidal Group. This terrorist who would become a mercenary, was born to a wealthy merchant who owned 6,000 acres of orange groves south of Jaffa, near today's Ashkelon in Israel. His father Muhammad Hajj Khalil al-Banna, was the richest man in the British Mandate of Palestine. His money allowed him to have 13 wives who bore him 16 sons and 8 daughters. And in this regard, Muhammad al-Banna was very similar to Muhammad bin Laden - Osama's wealthy father.

Abu Nidal's mother had been one of Muhammad al-Banna's maids, an Alawait girl who was just 15 when she was impregnated. Scorned by his brothers as a result, Abu Nidal was sent off to school - the College des Freres, a French Roman Catholic academy. Their records show that Abu Nidal finished the first grade. However, when Muhammad Hajj Khalil al-Banna died in 1945, the maid who had been Sabri Khalil's mother was kicked out of the house. At age seven, the future terrorist came under the custody of his brothers, who were all devout Muslims. They enrolled Sabri Khalil in the al-Umaria Islamic school in Jerusalem. There, he was able to successfully complete grades two and three.

The man we know today as Abu Nidal, first tasted blood on November 29th, 1947, when Arab Muslims rejected the United Nations partition plan which effectively established the state of Israel. Muslims rose up against Jews and militias tangled all over the Promised Land. As a result, Abu Nidal and his brothers fled to Gaza, then under the control of Egypt. Next, the clan moved to Nablus in the West Bank, which was at the time part of Jordan.

It was under the tutelage of the Jordanians that the future "Father of Jihad" finished grammar school. The student who was considered "not very bright" was said to have graduated from a Jordanian high school in 1955. With these credentials, he was allowed to study engineering at Cairo University, but he dropped out and returned to Nablus without a degree. But that does not mean that the aspiring jihadist left CU empty handed. It is virtually certain that the Abu Nidal would have been influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood while attending school in Cairo.

Back in Nablus, Abu Nidal joined the Ba'ath Party when he was 18, but being a dictator, King Hussein of Jordan closed the party down in 1957. It was then that the wannabe terrorist migrated to the land where Islamic jihad had begun - Saudi Arabia. While working for Aramco in the crude Saudi fiefdom, Nidal helped found the Palestine Secret Organization. Not so secret, Aramco found out and fired him. And since Aramco was a joint venture between American industrialists and the Saud warlords, the OPECers, following his dismissal in the mid 60s, imprisoned, tortured, and then expelled their Palestinian guest.

In 1967, Abu Nidal returned to Nablus and joined Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO. That timing was not good either however, because it was coterminous with Israel's lopsided victory during the Six-Day War. On the road again, AN moved to Amman, Jordan where he joined the Fatah underground known as the Fedayeen. It was then that he chose the nom de guerre, Abu Nidal, meaning "father of the struggle.".

Fatah's second in command, Abu Iyad, appointed Abu Nidal as their representative in Khartoum, Sudan in 1968. At the time, the Islamic Sudanese regime was commencing its slaughter of what would be 2.7 million African Christians and Animists. As such, it was the perfect post for the future psychopath.

Having been inspired by the Arab Muslim brutality and barbarism in the Sudan, two months before Black_September 1970, the Father of Jihad was sent to Baghdad, Iraq where he was safe from King Hussein's annihilation of 10,000 Palestinians in just 10 days. But that made the Fedayeen fighter look like a coward - like someone who would send others out to do his bidding. (Kind of like an Islamic Imam with a suicide bomber.).

Looking to redeem his tattered reputation, Abu Nidal sought to be included in Black_September, the PLO Fedayeen group that Yasser Arafat and Fatah were using as a cover to implement their most violent international crimes. Spurned by the really good terrorists, Nidal used the Voice of Palestine, the PLO-owned radio station in Iraq, to criticize Arafat and the PLO, saying that they were cowards.

But all of this hate-filled rhetoric must have endeared AN to his PLO colleagues because at Fatah's Third Congress in Damascus in 1971, Abu Nidal joined forces with Abu Daoud, one of Fatah's most ruthless commanders, and the mastermind behind Black_September's terrorist raid on Jews at the Munich Olympic Games.

Having moved up in the ranks of Islamic terror, and having made all the right contacts, on September 5th, 1973, the Father of Jihad undertook his first operation. Five Muslim gunmen using the name Al-Iqab (The Punishment) seized the Saudi Embassy in Paris, taking 11 hostages and threatening to kill them if Abu Dawud was not released from jail in Jordan. (Dawud was being held for an assassination attempt on King Hussein.) After a three-day siege and the intervention of the PLO, the gunmen surrendered, though not before the Kuwaiti government had agreed to pay King Hussein $12 million in exchange for Abu Dawud. This insight was provided during an interview Dawud himself gave to the author of Abu Nidal's biography, Patrick Seale.

Neither Abu Nidal nor the Punishment Squad were credited with this attack because the media blamed Fatah's Black_September. Yet Abu Iyad, Arafat's deputy, who acted as the liaison between Fatah and the BSO, had not authorized the mission. In fact, Abu Iyad and Mahmoud Abbas, the future "moderate" President of the Palestinian Authority, flew to Baghdad to confront Nidal. They recognized that while Dawud was a fellow jihadist and member of their team, and while Jordan was a foe, without the generous support of the Kuwaiti OPECers, Fatah, the PLO and BSO wouldn't have the wherewithal to continue their assault on Christians and Jews - especially Americans and Israelis. Angered by the affront, Abu Nidal severed his relationships with the PLO and became a mercenary.

And so it was that in the immediate aftermath of Islam losing the Yom Kippur War in October 1993, that Abu Nidal was hired to hijack a KLM airliner using the fictitious name: Arab Nationalist Youth Organization. Well, at least the ANO was a young organization at the time. The move was designed to thwart Arafat's political ambitions following Islam's defeat. For having the audacity to challenge the Ugly One, Arafat expelled Abu Nidal from Fatah in March 1974.

The excommunicated terrorist formed his own Fedayeen gang called Black June, after the timing of Syria's support for the Christians battling PLO Muslim militias in Lebanon. But when the Father of Jihad moved his new club from Baghdad to Syria, he thought better of it and deployed the Fatah - Revolutionary Council moniker.

During the height of his influence in the mid to late 1970s and 1980s, Abu Nidal became known to the Islamic world by the name he had chosen for himself: the "Father of Jihad." In an interview with Der Spiegel in 1985, the Muslim mass murderer said: "I am the evil spirit of the secret services. I am the evil spirit which moves around only at night causing them nightmares." The confession was true enough, as all good Muslims are in league with Satan, but it was so general it could be said of any Islamic terrorist.

Abu Nidal, himself, claims that he split with Yasser Arafat's al-Fatah and PLO as a result their June 8th, 1974 enactment of the "Phased Plan," which called for the establishment of a Palestinian state on any territory evacuated by Israel. The scheme was designed so that Israelis would be forced to flee their homes as a result of PLO-sponsored terrorism, and that once gone, their land would be deployed as a staging area for destroying the remainder of the Jewish state. While that plan was as sound as it was evil, and while that playbook is the one being implemented in Israel today by the Bush Administration and by Palestinian terrorists, Abu Nidal was an impatient thug and wanted noting to do with it.

As an independent contractor, Abu Nidal was set up as a terrorist for hire. Based over the years in Syria, Libya, Egypt, and Iraq, he found plenty of Muslims willing to finance his anti-Semitic and anti-American enterprise. It is estimated the Abu Nidal was responsible for killing over 1,000 Christians and Jews in twenty countries.

He came within a whisker of taking my life because I was scheduled to fly on TWA flight 841, the first plane sent to the bottom of the sea by an Abu Nidal bomb. His Muslim killing business was so immature in September 1974, that when they murdered 88 Christians and Jews aboard the TWA flight from Athens to Rome, the Abu Nidal Group wasn't given credit, even though their press release admitted responsibility. While the subsequent investigations confirmed that Abu Nidal was complicit in the crime, at that time the Arabic names Sabri Khalil al-Banna and Fatah al-Majles al-Thawy meant nothing to the victims, to their politicians, or to the media.

Therefore, the Abu Nidal Organization's coming out party occurred on December 27th, 1985 when his Islamic jihadists attacked the El Al ticket counters at the Rome and Vienna airports. It turns out that Nidal had ripped a page from Hasan's Hashshashin Fedayeen playbook and doped his assassins up on amphetamines before they opened fire on the passengers, murdering 18 and mutilating 120 more.

Nidal may have also been a student of Adam Weishaupt, the founder of modern day Fascism, Communism, and the religion of man, Secular Humanism. Each new fedayeen recruit was given several days to write out his entire life story by hand, including names and addresses of family members, friends, and lovers, then was required to sign a paper saying he agreed to be executed if anything was found to be untrue. As evidence he meant business, Nidal was known to torture jihadists who got out of line.

In the late 1980s, the source of Abu Nidal's funding became the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, or BCCI. And that is a tale of intrigue that includes George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Khalid bin Mahfouz, the bin Ladens including Osama, the Saudi Arabian ruling family, and the government of Pakistan. It is detailed in the September 3rd, 1967 Islamic Terrorism Timeline entry detailing the fallout from Muhammad bin Laden's death. While we won't revisit those financial ties here, suffice it to say that the Abu Nidal Group had no difficulty getting Islamic, German, British, and American companies to sell them the weapons of terror.

Abu Nidal's other benefactor was the syphilis-ridden, OPECing Muslim, Colonel Qadhafi of Libya. Muammar and Abu became best friends. It is why Qadhafi chose Nidal to execute his vengeance against America after the April 15th, 1986 strike by U.S. warplanes left Hannad Qadhafi, the dictator's baby daughter, dead. The ANG bombed a Berlin nightclub frequented by U.S. troops. Then they schemed together to blow up American aircraft, beginning with the September 5th, 1986 hijacking of Pan Am flight 73 out of Karachi, Pakistan in which 22 passengers were murdered. That led to a failed attempt on a flight emanating from Belgrade. This failure motivated Nidal's ANG and Qadhafi's Libyan Intelligence Service to collaborate on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. On December 21st, 1988, it exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland when a bomb was detonated in the forward cargo hold, killing all 259 passengers and crew as well as 11 people on the ground. Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the former head of security for Libyan Arab Airlines was not only commissioned with the task by Qadhafi and Nidal, he was convicted for the crime.

The ANG's last known assault was the 1991 assassination of Abu Iyad, the deputy chief of the PLO who had called his former associate "the father of chaos." Issam Sartawi, a Palestinian physician, called Nidal a "psychopath whose world was comprised of plots and counterplots," an accusation that reads like the Qur'an.

In the fall of his career, Abu Nidal was known to have entered Iraq in 1999 after being expelled from Libya by Qadhafi, who was trying to distance himself from known terrorists because it was cutting into his OPEC-derived income. For a while Saddam Hussein must have found the retired terrorist entertaining because Nidal was allowed to live in a mansion owned by the Mukhabarat, Iraq's secret police.

On August 21, 2002, Iraq's chief of intelligence, Taher Jalil Habbush, held a press conference and handed out pictures of Abu Nidal's bloodied body, along with a coroner's report that said that he had died from a single gunshot wound to the mouth which had exited his skull. Habbush told the assembled that his agents had arrived at the house to arrest Nidal on suspicion of him conspiring with the Kuwaiti Emirs and Saud warlords to assassinate Saddam Hussein and bring down his Ba'ath government. When they arrived, they allowed Nidal to go into his bedroom to change his clothes at which time he was said to have shot himself.

Palestinian sources say that Saddam Hussein ordered the assassination of the Islamic terrorist because he was the only internationally known jihadist living in Iraq before America's invasion. They claimed that the Palestinian's body was riddled with bullets in an assault perpetrated by some 30 Mukhabarat agents. Knowing that their former comrade was a mercenary and traitor, they said that Saddam would have seen Abu Nidal as a threat - as an assassin willing to sell his deadly services to the highest bidder.

Of his death, the British Guardian wrote: "He was a patriot turned psychopath. His warped personal drives pushed him into hideous crimes. He became the ultimate mercenary." They got everything right except the reason his personality had been warped, turning him into a psychotic mercenary who committed hideous crimes. Abu Nidal was a Muslim.

- September 13, 1974: The explosion of a bomb thrown at the Albanian embassy in Paris resulted in minor damage.

- September 13, 1974: In the Netherlands, four members of the Japanese United Red Army seized 11 hostages at the French embassy in The Hague, including the French ambassador to the Netherlands, Jacques Senard. The kidnappers demanded a $1 million ransom and the release of Yutaka Furuya, a Red Army member who had been arrested on July 21 at Orly Airport, Paris, for possessing counterfeit currency and false passports.

The French government agreed to the demands and Furuya was flown to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. The gunmen freed their hostages on September 17th. The terrorists were flown in a French jet to Syria, where they surrendered to the PLO. The terrorists returned $300,000 of the ransom, which they had obtained from the French government. Syria promised safe conduct for the terrorists to a country of their choice and left them in the custody of Arafat and Fatah. The Paris office of the PLO denied that its organization had asked Syrian authorities to hand over the Japanese and said it "had nothing to do with The Hague affair." Of course, honesty was not their strong suit.

- September 15, 1974: In Syria, a bomb exploded in a building used by the USIS in Damascus. Six Syrian pedestrians were injured.

- September 16, 1974: These were dangerous days in Argentina. Approximately 40 bombs exploded, most of which were directed against ceremonies commemorating the military revolt which ended Juan Peron's first dictatorship. Marxist Montonero slogans and banners were in evidence at many of the bombings. Targets included three Ford showrooms, Peugeot and Renault showrooms, Goodyear and Firestone Tire distributorships, Riker and Eli Lilly pharmaceutical laboratories; Union Carbide, Bank of Boston and Chase Manhattan Bank branches, Xerox Corporation, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola bottling companies.

- September 19, 1974: Again in Argentina, the Communist Montoneros attacked, killing two people and kidnapping the directors of one of the largest international trading conglomerates in Latin America.

A communiqué at first demanded $60 million ransom in cash and supplies. The kidnappers said that the Born brothers would be "tried for the acts committed against the workers, the people, and the national interest by the monopolies to which they belong."

The captives were found guilty and sentenced to one year in a people's prison. Juan Born was released several months later. Jorge Born was released on June 20, after the corporation agreed to pay the ransom. Most of it was paid in cash, which the Montoneros said they would use to buy arms and build a popular organization. Their justice had nothing to do with morality, only money, and their cause had nothing to do with people, only weapons.

The Argentine government opposed the payment, which they noted equaled one-third of the country's national defense budget. Therefore, the negotiations had to be carried on in Europe.

- September 30, 1974: Since crime pays, in Argentina, Alfonso Marguerite, a senior executive of the trading conglomerate Bunge and Born was kidnapped in Buenos Aires. The abductors were members of the ERP.

- October 10, 1974: In Syria, an explosion occurred at the Damascus office of the National Cash Register Company. An office boy was killed and a cleaning woman was wounded by the blast. The Arab Communist Organization claimed responsibility.

- October 11, 1974: In Lebanon, an explosion damaged the First National Bank of Chicago in downtown Beirut. The Arab Communist Organization claimed credit. A statement found in the entrance to the bank demanded the release of Adel Abn Asi, a Lebanese terrorist being held under a death sentence for a bomb attack on the Beirut branch of the Bank of America on October 18, 1973.

It was especially common during this period for Muslims to say they were Marxists to get the Soviets to supply them with weapons. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Islamic fundamentalism swept through the Middle East, Marxist monikers were no longer credited for acts of Islamic violence.

- October 29, 1974: Three men claiming to be members of the JDL entered the New York office of the Islamic terrorist organization known as the PLO and fired several shots at employees. They beat the assistant director with a pipe.

- October 30, 1974: In Turkey, the residence of a U.S. serviceman in Ankara was the target of automatic weapon fire.

- November 6, 1974: In Jordan, a Royal Jordanian Airlines Caravelle was hijacked during a domestic flight between Amman and Aqaba. The hijackers identified themselves as members of the Jordanian Free Officers Movement. One of the terrorists was a security guard on the plane.

The aircraft was flown to Benghazi, Libya, after being refused permission to land at Beirut Airport. On arrival at Benghazi's Benia Airport, the Islamic terrorists released the passengers and crew because they were granted political asylum in Libya. The plane, with passengers and crew, took off again later the same day and returned to Amman which means King Hussein paid a ranson.

The Jordanian Free Officers Movement was a terrorist group operating in secret within Jordan's armed forces. Modeled after the Egyptian Free Officers Movement, the group sought the overthrow of the Jordanian monarchy. Egypt's Free Officers Movement succeeded in their overthrew the Egyptian monarchy and its British advisors in 1952.

- November 9, 1974: A bomb exploded, causing extensive damage at a United Nations information center bookstore in Los Angeles, California. The blast destroyed $10,000 worth of UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) Christmas cards and UN calendars. An anonymous phone call referred to the bomb as "a thank you note from the PLO to the United Nations for letting them address the UN." In closing, the caller added the words, "Never again," which had been the slogan of the JDL. The most prolific murderer of Americans and Jews at the time, Yasser Arafat, was scheduled to speak to the UN in four days.

- November 9, 1974: The Pan American Union building, headquarters of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C., was bombed. There were no injuries, but damage was estimated at $100,000. An anti-Castro group was suspected of being behind the bombing. A caller allegedly connected with the bombing identified himself to United Press International as a member of the Cuban Movement C-4. All through this period, anti-Castro terrorists were blowing things up.

- November 13, 1974: The PLO's Yasser Arafat, wearing a holster (he had to leave his gun at the entrance), addressed the U.N. General Assembly.

- November 18, 1974: A wave of bombings hit a number of Mexico City commercial establishments. The targets included a Sears store and a U.S.-owned restaurant and drugstore. Mexican police recovered literature at the bombing sites traceable to the 23d of September Communist League.

- November 18, 1974: In Israel, three Arab Muslim terrorists slipped into an apartment house in Beit Shean and killed four unarmed civilians before they themselves were killed by an Israeli assault team. Five more people were wounded during the brief battle, and another 18 were injured when they jumped from windows of the building trying to avoid being killed by the jihadists.

Evidence indicated that the terrorists had intended to trade their hostages for 20 terrorists being held in Israeli jails and for Archbishop Hilarion Capucci, the spiritual leader of Greek Catholics in Jerusalem, who had played an active role in smuggling arms to Islamic terrorists. According to the gunmen's plans, the French and Austrian ambassadors would have been summoned as negotiators to insure their safe flight to Damascus. The DFLP claimed credit for the attack.

The DFLP broke away from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1969 over ideological and personal differences and became the PLO's third largest faction after Fatah and the main body of the PFLP. Nayaf Hawatmeh, founder of the DFLP, believed that the PFLP had improperly emphasized Arab/Muslim nationalism over Marxist ideology. Therefore, the Marxist DFLP, like the Marxist Muslim PFLP, has had to join the Muslim PLO to remain relevant.

Based in Damascus, Syria, Hawatmeh, the DFLP's founder, continued to participate in the PLO throughout the 1980s. Though Hawatmeh and Arafat had a spat in the mid 90s, they reconciled in 1999. Along with the importance of the DFLP, Hawatmeh's public profile has declined in recent years. He denounced the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, but no one cared.

Yasser Abed Rabbo was the co-founder and Deputy Secretary of the DFLP before he broke off relations in 1990. He then founded the Palestinian Democratic Union and has since served as chief of the PLO's information department in Tunis. Rabbo is a member of the PLO Executive Committee and was a close advisor to Arafat. He is currently the Minister for Information and Culture in the PA.

- November 21, 1974: In the United Arab Emirates, four Palestinian terrorists hijacked a British Airways VC-10 jet from Dubai within the UAE and forced it to fly to Tunis after a refueling stop in Tripoli, Libya. An Indian stewardess was shot in the back during the flight.

In addition to the hijackers, the plane carried 22 passengers, 13 crew members, and 12 ground-service employees who had been aboard the aircraft when it was seized. The hijackers demanded that Egypt release 13 Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in Cairo. Eight of them had been convicted by the Sudan for the slaying of three diplomats in Khartoum on March 1, 1973. Five others were awaiting trial by the PLO for the December 17, 1973 attack on the Rome airport.).

These demands were at first rejected by both the government of Egypt and the PLO. The hijackers released four passengers on November 22nd. Thirteen more were released after the five terrorists involved in the Rome Airport raid were freed by Egypt and flown to Tunis. Two other Palestinian jihadists held by the Netherlands were also released at the hijackers' demand and were flown to Tunis.

The seven released Palestinian prisoners then boarded the hijacked aircraft. Once on board, the Muslim militants shot and killed a West German hostage, Werner Gustav Kehl. The remaining hostages were released on November 25th.

The murderers and convicts demanded asylum in Tunisia. The Tunisian government agreed to their request and the 11 Palestinians embraced the Tunisian authorities on November 25th.

On November 27, the PLO announced that it had arrested 26 people in Lebanon and other Islamic countries for their alleged involvement in the hijacking. The PLO said that they would try the suspects in public. Since the hijackers were drinking Molotov cocktails in Tunisia, the PLO was arresting their rivals under false pretenses. In January 1975 the PLO announced that they had tried and sentenced the terrorists but had no idea where they actually were.

- November 22, 1974: Demonstrating its support of Islamic terrorism, the U.N.

- December 11, 1974: A Muslim man tossed some hand grenades into a movie theater in Tel Aviv, killing two people, including himself, and wounding 54 others.

- December 27, 1974: In the first act of terrorism in Nicaragua since the timeline began, nine members of the FSLN, a Communist guerrilla group in Nicaragua, invaded a private home where a party was being given in honor of the U.S. ambassador.
