Leader of Saudi-backed Muslim group decries those who blame Jews for Holocaust
The leader of a Saudi-based Moslem group decried those would blame Jews for the Holocaust, days after Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... came under international censure for doing so. Mohammad Al Issa, the secretary general of the Moslem World League, said that blaming the Jews for the Holocaust was akin to denying the Holocaust, a phenomenon he denounced earlier this year. "To reduce the importance of this disaster by saying excuses that would make us look away from this disaster, is a continuation of the denial of the criminality of this incident, this crime against humanity," Al Issa said Thursday at an event organized by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Al Issa, who made headlines in January when he denounced Holocaust denial, had been asked by Robert Satloff, the Washington Institute’s director, whether he would also condemn those who blame Jews for the Holocaust. Neither Satloff nor al-Issa mentioned Abbas. The Paleostinian leader on Friday apologized "if people were offended" by his speech earlier in the week, when he said the behavior of Jews, including "their function in society, which had to do with usury, banks, and so on," led to massacres, including the Holocaust. Satloff also asked al Issa what he thought of jacket wallahs who target civilians, a tactic once identified closely with the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terrorist group on its attacks on Israelis. He said Islam opposed "attacking civilians anywhere on this earth." A former justice minister, Al Issa had taken over the Saudi-funded Moslem World League in 2016, and his leadership[ of the once-strident group appears to be of a piece with Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s pivot westward under its new crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman ...  Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016....As part of his Washington visit, Al Issa toured the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-05-05 |
