Storm Track Disinformation: Islamic Grievances - The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same

From The Gathering Storm

This was a Fatwa issued by by Haj Amin al-Husseini

In the name of Merciful and Almighty God.

I invite all my Moslem brothers throughout the whole world to join in the Holy War for God, for the defense of Islam and her lands against her enemy. O Faithful, obey and respond to my call.

O Moslems!

Proud 'Iraq has placed herself in the vanguard of this Holy Struggle, and has thrown herself against the strongest enemy of Islam certain that God will grant her victory.

The enemy has tried to seize this Arab-Moslem land, but she has risen, full of dignity and pride to defend her safety, to fight for her honor and to safeguard her integrity. 'Iraq fights the tyranny which has always had as its aim the destruction of Islam in every land. It is the duty of all Moslems to aid 'Iraq in her struggle and to seek every means to fight the enemy, the traditional traitor in every age and every situation.

Whoever knows the history of the East has everywhere seen the hand of the enemy working to divide the Arab countries. Our enemy politics toward the Arab people is masked under a veil of Hypocrisy. The minute she sees her chance, the enemy squeezes the prostrate country in her Imperialist grasp, adding futile justifications. She creates discord and division within a country and while feeding it in secret openly she assumes the role of advisor and trusted friend. The time when the enemy could deceive the peoples of the East is passed. The Arab Nation and the Moslem people have awakened to fight the domination. In Palestine the enemy have committed unheard of barbarisms; among others, they have profaned the el-Aqsa Mosque and have declared the most unyielding war against Islam, both in deed and in word.

Therefore I invite you, O Brothers, to join in the War for God to preserve Islam, your independence and your lands from enemy aggression. I invite you to bring all your weight to bear in helping 'Iraq that she may throw off the shame that torments her. O Heroic 'Iraq, God is with Thee, the Arab Nation and the Moslem World are solidly with Thee in Thy Holy Struggle!

Sounds like a recent fatwa, right?

Nope. The fatwa is from 1941! I replaced the word ‘English’ with the word ‘enemy’. Otherwise, everything else is the same. You can read it at EretzYisroel.org.

As far as Islamic grievances go, it’s the same old song played over and over again blaming someone else for thier problems. Then it was England, next it was Israel, now the US. I wonder if they just have these fatwas in a word processor somewhere and just do a search and replace anytime they need to complain.

You think?
