Who was Haj Amin el-Husseini?

Who was he? What were his views about the Holocaust? Did he side with Hitler? How did he influence Arab Psyche? Is he covered in the history books of the Middle East taught in Muslim countries? How many of you have heard his name and know anything about him?

Amin al Husaini and Kamal al Husaini were two political leaders who were against the British and French colonization in early 1920’s and had the support of King Faisal. But he is known as a person who in time of war tried to use the German support against the occupying British forces in greater Syria.

He agreed with the Pope

No, but I think he just meet him once, but Hitler meet the Pope and got his blessing.

Arab is a big word, (munh bhar jand aye) he hardly influenced the people living in Quds. Most of his work was done out of Palestine.

Yes, upto High School

Is this a poll question?

Ohh and I missed this point, he was appointed "Grand Mufti" (a British-invented title)of Jerusalem by the occupying British forces. After all this he was still against creating the state of Israel in Palestine.
