Before Amin Al Husseini, there was no hatred between the Jews and the Arabs.

What twaddle!

Read the Koran, and feel the love!

Quite true, and yet over the centuries, there were periods when Jews fleeing Christian pogroms and expulsion orders found refuge in the territories of Islamic state. Like most religious texts and founders of religions, the content of the Quran can be read in many ways. The writer(s) behind the website are focused on how a particularly virulent reading of the Quran, combined with European-inspired ethnocentric national socialism, has been the inspiration for what we see in the countries where Islam is dominant or, as in the case of Europe, growing rapidly in influence.

These writers perhaps harbor unjustified illusions about the possibilities of a benign Islam, but the information they supply about the origin and effects of this volatile concoction of islamicist fascism is useful.

Analagously, the Bible has had interpreters who have made it a foundational ingredient of the ideologies of ethnocentric fascist groups whose effects, if they were as widespread as the followers of Husseini, would be quite pernicious. It is a difference in scale that makes the devotees of Christian Identity and such texts as the Turner Diaries relatively minor threats to public peace, and the intellectual descendents of Husseini a significant threat.
