just a heads-up...as you posted the previous headsup on this show
I saw this the first time around--highly recommended.
I goofed in post2...this time I actually got this addressed to you.
So, here's a current headsup to you, in case you want to see this again.
People need to hear about this.

Wasn't Yassir Arafat a nephew of this mufti? If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was.
... and his mother, Hamida, was a cousin of the Grand Mufti. Rahman Abdul Rauf al-Qudwa al-Husseini was born in Cairo in 1929 and grew up in the Gaza strip. Due to internal Arab strife, his father Abdul Rauf al-Qudwa was forced to flee Gaza where the family took refuge in Egypt. He only became "Yasser Arafat" in 1951, upon enrollment in the University of Cairo, in order to conceal his true identity.
Don't forget that the Baath Party (which still controls Syria) is the Arabic Socialist Party.
Also don't forget that "Nazi" was short for the "National Socialist Party"
If I remember correctly, Alois Brunner, one of Eichmann's top "transportation " experts was given refuge in Baathist Syria.
Check out Wikipedia. Good stuff.
Speaking of the Third Reich, I saw a great movie the other night called "Downfall". It was in German and replays the last days of the Third Reich. If was really fascinating.
aka "Der Untergang" (IIRC)
Maybe too slow-paced for a lot, I really liked it.
And as grim as the subject matter was, I did laugh when the guy officiating
the wedding asked (by law) if Adolph and Eva were of good Aryan stock.
