Icon of Evil

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. It is a biography of Haj Amin al-Husseini (1895-1974), the British-appointed Mufti of Jerusalem.

"Icon of Evil" depicts Husseini, a menber of an important Jerusalem Arab family, as a ferocious anti-Semite and a key figure in infusing the modern Arab world wtih viciously anti-Semitic attitudes. [New books probe reality of Muslim anti-Semitism, Leon Cohen, Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, July 17th, 2008, [http://www.jewishchronicle.org/article.php?article_id=10346] ]

Writing in The New Republic, historian Benny Morris notes that Dalin and Rothman "put matters right" by bringing Husseini's intense anti-Semitism to the center of the story. [The Darker Side, Benny Morris, The New Republic, September 10, 2008, pp. 35-39]
