re: #21 Charles

Compared to everything else that was an influence on Hitler, the Mufti of Jerusalem’s influence was tiny. And claiming that Hitler got the idea for the Holocaust from him is total fantasy.

Certainly the Mufti of Jerusalem was just a flunky of Hitler (I believe Hitler had to get a medical opinion that the Mufti was “Aryan” enough in features to let him associate with him), but the Muslims invented anti semitism long before the Nazis were invented.
