The Nazi Background of Saddam Hussein

Kharaillah Tulfah, Saddam Hussein's uncle and future father-in-law, along
with Gen. Rashid Ali and the so-called "golden square" cabal of pro-Nazi
officers, participated in a failed coup against the pro-British government of
Iraq in 1941. Operating behind the scenes in Baghdad at the time, and
arranging for Nazi weapons and assistance was the notorious pro-Nazi Haj Amin
al-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. The Mufti had been on the Nazi
payroll, according to testimony at the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, since
1937 when he had met with Adolf Eichmann during Eichmann's brief visit to
Palestine. Saddam Hussein was born in 1937.

The Mufti, after instigating a pogrom against Jews in Palestine in 1920, the
first such pogrom against Jews in the Arab world in hundreds of years, went
on to inspire the development of pro-Nazi parties throughout the Arab world
including Young Egypt, led by Gamal Abdul Nasser, and the Social Nationalist
Party of Syria led by Anton Sa'ada. After the failure of the 1941 pro-Nazi
coup in Iraq, the Mufti fled to Berlin where he spent the war years heading a
Nazi-Muslim government in exile and using confiscated Jewish funds in a
largely successful effort to further pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic propaganda in
the Arab world. While in Berlin, the Mufti also helped form pro-Nazi Muslim
Hanschar brigades in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia.

Kharaillah Tulfah, participant in the 1941 pro-Nazi coup and an advocate of a
pan-Islamic Nazi alliance along with the Mufti, raised and educated his
nephew Saddam Hussein from age 10. In 1959, the 22-year-old Saddam failed in
an attempt to assassinate Iraqi leader Abdel Karim Qassim. He subsequently
fled to Egypt where he received refuge from fellow Mufti disciple Nasser. At
the time, Nasser, along with the Mufti himself, who resided in Cairo after
the war and his conviction by the Nuremberg Tribunal of war crimes, was
spearheading what was known as the Odessa Network, which facilitated the
settlement of thousands of Nazi criminals in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab
world. In 1962, Saddam married Sajidah Tuffah, the daughter of his uncle and
mentor.

Saddam triumphantly returned to Baghdad in 1963 after a successful coup by
the Ba'ath Party against Qassim where he assumed control of State Security.
The Ba'ath seizure of power in Iraq was followed by firing squads and murder
of political opponents reminiscent of Castro's seizure of Cuba. Saddam was
chief interrogator and torturer at the infamous Palace of the End set up as a
torture chamber under the auspices of State Security.

Saddam became absolute ruler in 1979 after assassinating over 20 leaders of
his own party. He immediately proceeded to implement the Nazi vision of his
uncle and the Mufti. In Iraq, Saddam annihilated his opponents and, using his
absolute power, developed a personality-cult around himself reminiscent of
the Nazi Furherprincip. Like the Nazis, who sought to implement a new social
order based on socialist and nationalist principles, Saddam has sought to
develop a united Arab order under his personal control. Imitating the example
of Hitler, Saddam set up concentration camps and began to carry out a planned
program of genocide against the Kurds.

Saddam, in control of weapons of mass destruction, is today's chief disciple
of the infamous Grand Mufti, the Nazi war criminal. Like the Mufti, he will
stop at nothing in his quest to annihilate the Jews and defeat the western
democracies. His regime is the Nazi principle manifested today in all its
horror and inherent evil and like the Nazi's before him, he must be utterly
crushed if there is to be any peace.
