Icon Of Evil
''Icon of Evil: Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam'' is a 2008 book by David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann initially published by Random House; the 2009 version of the book by Transaction Publishers has an introduction by Alan Dershowitz. It is a biography of Haj Amin al-Husseini (1895–1974), who was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the British Mandate period. Some reviewers were critical of its "overtly propagandistic" style, citing numerous factual errors and criticizing its thesis that a direct line can be drawn from the Mufti to modern-day Islamic leaders as unconvincing and lacking evidence.

It asserts that Husseini's views were the ''casus belli'' for virtua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
