Draft:Amin al-Husseini

Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (1897-1974) was the grand mufti of Palestine and an Arab nationalist. He was a member of the Husayni family, a prominent family of Islamic nobles who trace their ancestry to Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad (a sayyid).

World War 1
During the first world war, Husseini was commissioned into the Ottoman army as an artillery officer and was stationed to the city of Izmir. Husseini later caught an illness during the war, which made him obtain a three month disability leave from the army.

Being buddies with Hitler
Husseini is most well known for his relations with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Despite the nazis viewing Muslims and Arabs as an inferior and primitive race, they allied over a common goal, anti-Semitism and nationalism.

Husseini commanded his forces to be loyal to Hitler when they fought alongside the Axis powers in the Middle East during World War II.

An unsatisfying end
Unlike other Nazi collaborators, Husseini was never caught despite being wanted by the Nuremberg tribunal. However, he was transferred to Paris and was put under house arrest.
