GOOGLE - AL BANNA NAZI and then HUSSEINI NAZI

Here’s how the story began. In the 1920’s there was a young Egyptian named al Bana. And al Bana formed this nationalist group called the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Bana was a devout admirer of Adolph Hitler and wrote to him frequently. So persistent was he in his admiration of the new Nazi Party that in the 1930’s, al-Bana and the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD became a SECRET ARM OF NAZI INTELLIGENCE.
The Arab Nazis had much in common with the new Nazi doctrines. They hated Jews; they hated democracy; and they hated the Western culture. It became the official policy of the Third Reich to secretly develop the Muslim Brotherhood as the fifth Parliament, an army inside Egypt.
we will not stop at this point [i.e., “freeing Egypt from secularism and modernity”], but will pursue this evil force to its own lands, invade its Western heartland, and struggle to overcome it until all the world shouts by the name of the Prophet and the teachings of Islam spread throughout the world. Only then will Muslims achieve their fundamental goal… and all religion will be exclusively for Allah.
http://www.mideastweb.org/Middle-East-Encyclopedia/hassan_al-banna.htmAl-Banna was quite clear that his goal was not solely an anti-colonialist struggle in Egypt nor the refurbishment of Islam, but rather a world revolution that would establish Islam as the dominant religion of the entire world: (Habeck, Knowing the enemy p. 120)
Al-Banna and Nazism
The growth of the Muslim Brotherhood was accompanied or caused in part by the fact that Al-Banna associated it with the German Nazi party and the Third Reich. From the ideological point of view, the Jew hatred, authoritarianism, addiction to violence and desire to defeat the British of both the Muslim Brothers and the Nazis were quite enough to make the two movements find common cause.
The Brotherhood’s political and military alliance with Nazi Germany blossomed into formal state visits, de facto ambassadors, and overt and covert joint ventures. The Muslim Brotherhood transformed Nazi anti-Semitism into a Muslim version, providing ARAB TRANSLATIONS OF MEIN KAMPF (translated into Arabic as “My Jihad”) and other Nazi anti-Semitic works, including DER STURMER HATE CARTOONS, adapted to portray the Jew as the demonic enemy of Allah rather than the German Volk.

THE ARAB/MUSLIM NAZI CONNECTION
THE FUHRER’S MUFTI
One German officer noted in his journals that the Mufti would liked to have seen the Jews “preferably all killed.” On a visit to Auschwitz, he reportedly admonished the guards running the gas chambers to work more diligently. Throughout the war, he appeared regularly on German radio broadcasts to the Middle East, preaching his pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic message to the Arab masses back home.
To show gratitude towards his hosts, in 1943 the Mufti travelled several times to Bosnia, where on orders of the SS he recruited the notorious HANJAR TROOPERS, a special Bosnian Waffen SS company which SLAUGHTERED 90% OF BOSNIA’S JEWS and BURNED COUNTLESS SERBIAN CHURCHES AND VILLAGES. These Bosnian Muslim recruits rapidly found favor with SS chief Heinrich HIMMLER, who established a special MULLAH MILITARY SCHOOL IN DRESDEN ...
THE ARAB EMBRACE OF NAZISM
Husseini represents the prevalent pro-Nazi posture among the Arab/Muslim world before, during and even after the Holocaust. The Nazi-Arab connection existed even when Adolf Hitler first seized power in Germany in 1933.
The most influential party that emulated the Nazis was “Young Egypt,” which was founded in October 1933. They had storm troopers, torch processions, and literal translations of Nazi slogans – like “One folk, One party, One leader.” Nazi anti-Semitism was replicated, with calls to boycott Jewish businesses and physical attacks on Jews. ...
Sami al-Joundi, one of the FOUNDERS OF THE RULING SYRIAN BA’ATH PARTY, recalls: “We were racists. We admired the Nazis. We were immersed in reading Nazi literature and books... We were the FIRST WHO THOUGHT OF A TRANSLATION OF MEIN KAMPF. Anyone who lived in Damascus at that time was witness to the Arab inclination toward Nazism.”
These leanings never completely ceased. Hitler’s MEIN KAMPF CURRENTLY RANKS SIXTH ON THE BEST-SELLER LIST AMONG PALESTINIAN ARABS. Luis Al-Haj, translator of the Arabic edition, writes glowingly in the preface about how Hitler’s “ideology” and his “theories of nationalism, dictatorship and race… are advancing especially within our Arabic States.” When Palestinian police first greeted Arafat in the self-rule areas, they offered the infamous Nazi salute - the right arm raised straight and upward. http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/163591
The Brotherhood, Nazism And Islamofascism
The founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna, declared his support for the virulent anti-Semite Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who was then the “Mufti of Jerusalem”. The British High Commissioner of Palestine, Herbert Samuel, had bestowed this title upon Husseini on May 8, 1921, even though he had organized anti-Jewish riots on April 4, 1920, in which five Jews had been killed. Husseini was expected to maintain order in the region, but continued to enact pogroms against Jews in the region in 1921, 1929 and 1936. Samuel sacked Husseini in 1936 after he led a general strike and instigated a revolt against British rule. After the British tried to arrest him in July 1937, the “Mufti” went into hiding and in October disguised himself as a woman and fled to Lebanon.
Husseini (1895 - 1974) had developed links with the German Nazi party during the 1930s, and in 1941 he traveled to Germany. He had a formal meeting with Hitler on November 28, 1941. He collaborated with Eichmann and Himmler on their plans to exterminate Jews. On July 15, 1946 at the Nuremburg trials, Eichmann’s deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified that Husseini had said that “accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chamber of Auschwitz”. Wisliceny also said that Husseini intervened when Eichmann had been persuaded to spare thousands of Polish Jewish children in a prisoner exchange. The deal was abandoned and the children were sent to Theresienstadt concentration camp to be processed and dispatched to death camps.
After the war, Husseini went to Egypt where the Muslim Brotherhood ensured that he was granted asylum. Though he was not allowed to enter Jerusalem, when a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood opened there in the mid-1940s, Husseini was declared a local leader of the group.
The anti-Semitism of the Muslim Brotherhood was displayed in its literature. Dr Matthias Kuntzel observed that “up to 1951 the jihad movement of the Brotherhood was almost exclusively focused on Zionism and Jews.... Their newspaper al-Nadhir published a regular column called ‘The danger of the Jews of Egypt’. They published the names and addresses of Jewish businessmen and the publishers of allegedly Jewish newspapers all over the world, attributing every evil - from communism to prostitution - to the ‘Jewish menace’.”
The 1947 decision by the UN to partition Palestine was denounced by the Brotherhood as an “international plot carried out by the Americans, the Russians and the British, under the influence of Zionism.” The Muslim Brotherhood sent 10,000 fighters to Israel in 1948, and at this time had established links with members of the “Free Officers” group - Anwar Sadat and also the future dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser, who would lead the 1952 revolution.
Sayyid Qutb, like Hassan al-Banna, was an ardent anti-Semite. In 1950 he had written an essay entitled “Our struggle with the Jews”. In this, he maintained that Jews were identical to their ancestors who “confronted Islam with Enmity from the moment that the Islamic state was established in Medina. They plotted against the Muslim Community from the first day it became a Community.”
In the same document, Qutb claimed that Jews employed “machinations and double dealings which discomfited the Early Muslims... The Jews continue - through their wickedness and double-dealing - to lead this (Muslim) community away from its religion and to alienate it from its Koran.” He asserted that “From such creatures who kill, massacre and defame prophets one can only expect the spilling of human blood and dirty means which would further their machinations and evilness.”
Qutb declared in this work that “Allah brought Hitler to rule over them” and wished the worst upon the Jews - “Allah bring down upon the Jews people who will mete out to them the worst kind of punishment, as confirmation of his unequivocal promise.”
Qutb’s undiluted hatred of the West, hatred for the Jews and hatred of anything that did not conform to the society established under the leadership of Mohammed the prophet led to his works having an influence beyond the Muslim Brotherhood. His ideas were closely followed by two Islamist groups that emerged in Egypt after Nasser had died in 1970. These were Islamic Jihad and Gamaa Islamiya (also called Jamaa Islamiya or al-Gama’at al-Islamiyya). The latter group had been founded as a response to an official decision by the Muslim Brotherhood to renounce violence.
Nasser’s successor was Anwar Sadat, who promised the Muslim Brotherhood that he would impose Sharia law upon Egypt. In 1970 he released all Muslim Brotherhood members who were in prison. Later, Sadat reneged on his promise of Sharia and alienated the Brotherhood and other Salafists (conservative traditionalists) such as Gamaah Islamiya and Islamic Jihad. In the Egyptian general election of 1976, no Muslim Brotherhood members were allowed to stand as candidates. Some Brotherhood members stood as “independents” and some as members of the Arab Socialist Party. Thus they managed to gain 15 seats in the People’s Assembly.
One Egyptian admirer of Qutb was a young eye surgeon called Ayman al-Zawahiri, who came from an affluent family in Cairo’s Maadi district. He had first been arrested in 1966, for being a member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. He was 15 at this time. A decade later he was the leader of Islamic Jihad. This group, acting with Gamaa Islamiya, carried out the bomb attack which killed Anwar Sadat on October 6, 1981.
Sadat had alienated Islamists by signing a peace accord with Menachem Begin, Israel’s prime minister, on March 26, 1979. After Sadat’s killing, Zawahiri was arrested. Though no evidence pointed to his direct role in the assassination, he was imprisoned for three years for possessing a rifle. Ayman al-Zawahiri is now famous as the second-in-command of Al Qaeda. Many of his current speeches imitate the style and content of Qutb’s writings. In August 2006, Ayman al-Zawahiri announced that Gamaa Islamiya had officially become an affiliate of al-Qaeda.
