Maryland historian links roots of radical Islam with Nazi propaganda

No doubt. Mohammedans were firmly in love with Hitler, so much so, that 20,000 Muslims volunteered to fight in the Muslim S.S. division named the Handzar" (scimitar) division, which was brutal in the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian regions in eastern Bosnia. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin el Husseini, in addition to the carnage he engineered against Jews during the murderous campaign against them in 1920, 1929 and 1936, willfully planned, assembled, organized, and killed Jews in Hungary and Croatia with the assistance of those 20,000 Muslims during World War II with Hitler's assistance.

"A confluence of Nazi anti-Semitism and Muslim fundamentalism did take place during the war which was a mixture of ideological affinity and shared political interests," said Prof. Jeffrey Herf of the University of Maryland during a recent lecture at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism.

"Though Nazi Germany failed in its military and propaganda advances in the Middle East, the ideas it conveyed to the Arabs found adherence," Herf said, pointing to the charter of Hamas, which was established in 1987 and grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated calls for the destruction of Israel.

Herf, whose forthcoming book deals with Nazi Germany's propaganda aimed at the Middle East, said that while Islamic extremism could have emerged without Nazism it played an important role in its development.

Storm in Belgium over suspected Islamist informer's murky past

Via EJPress:

The arrest of an Islamist in Morocco has made Belgian authorities wondering if they have been duped by a "double agent" alleged to have acted as an informer while planning several deadly attacks. The growing storm is swirling around Abdelkader Belliraj, 50, a Belgian and Moroccan national who was arrested last month in Morocco on suspicions of having led an Al Qaeda-linked group of 35 Islamic extremists. He is also a prime suspect in six unexplained killings in Belgium at the end of the 1980s, including the murder of Joseph Wybran, a former head of the umbrella group of Belgian Jewish organizations. Although the Moroccan accusations were at first met with scepticism in Belgium, authorities now consider them credible. It appears now, as details emerge, that Belliraj was probably for years a paid informer for Belgium's domestic intelligence services, the State Security.

Moroccan authorities say Belliraj has confessed to killing in Belgium, in 1989 alone, the representative of the Jewish community, two moderate Muslim officials and a driver for the Saudi Arabian ambassador mistaken for a diplomat.

13th Anniversary of the terrorist attack on the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires

Received by email:
-----------------------
Thirteen years ago, 18 July, at 9 A.M., a huge explosion rocked the city of Buenos Aires - the second murderous attack against Israeli and Jewish targets in Argentina. The attack was launched against the AMIA Jewish community center (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina). The target of the previous attack, two years earlier, was the Israeli embassy.

In the attack 13 years ago, the Jewish community center was completely destroyed. A total of 85 people lost their lives, and hundreds more were injured.

The pain and sorrow we feel combines with the difficult feeling that those responsible for the attack, as with the previous attack, have not yet been brought to justice. But while they may remain anonymous, responsibility for the attack is not anonymous at all. After years of enquiries, the Argentinian investigative magistrate has concluded that it is Iran who is responsible for the attacks and for dispatching the murderers.

The government of Argentina even appealed to Interpol to issue arrest warrants for several suspects, and this appeal was approved by the Interpol Executive Committee.

Five Muslim doctors hatched terror plot in British hospitals

This heinous plot proves several points about Islam and Islamic terror:

-- that the lives of non-Muslims are not esteemed nor valued by Muslims,
-- that the Hippocratic oath is meaningless to Muslim doctors and waiving an oath and violating another's trust is just a walk in the park,
-- that it is a myth that terrorism is a result of poverty and lack of education, and,
-- that it is a myth that Muslims and Jews worship the same god because clearly Jews sanctify life and clearly, Muslims sanctify death. From Terror plot hatched in British hospitals:

A suspected secret cell of foreign militants, believed to be linked to al-Qa'ida and using British hospitals as cover, are being questioned over the terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow.

Five of the eight people under arrest last night are said to be doctors. Another of those detained is the wife of one of the doctors, who is a medical assistant working for the NHS. The home of a sixth doctor is said to have been searched by police. Late last night an Australian television network reported that a suspect wanted in connection with the attacks had been arrested in Brisbane.

Terror Threat in Germany

From Terror Threat in Germany:

A combination of intelligence "chatter," a suspicious video, and arrests along the Pakistani border have led authorities to warn that the threat of terrorist attacks in Germany is real. Germany faced an elevated threat of terrorism because of its involvement in Afghanistan, according to officials who said the risk of an attack is as high as it has ever been. "We are alarmed," the normally mild-mannered August Hanning, Deputy Secretary at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, said Thursday. German as well as foreign intelligence agencies have received hints about plans, groups, and individual extremists who may be planning an attack in Germany. "We have moved fully into the target range of Islamist terror," said Hanning.
