		Husayni reasoned that his history, during the uprising against the British in 1936, attested that he could lead an army in combat, while Quwatli wanted leadership for Syria, to live up to Syria's history of Arab nationalism.
		Quwatli added that if Husayni took control, then the Palestinians would lose the war.
		Husayni demanded that the Army of Deliverance, a volunteer army created by the Arab League, be placed under his command, while Quwatli objected, wanting it under the command of Syria.

	Why Was 'Independent Palestine' Never Created in 1948? - Zvi Elpeleg
		Hajj Amin, who was forced to stay in Cairo, nevertheless tried to exert his authority as President of the HAI from there; he sent instructions to the national committees and even purportedly appointed Palestinian administrators to government departments in place of the departing British administrators.
		Hajj Amin urged these states not to invade Palestine, and even submitted a memorandum to this effect to the leaders of the Arab states when the met in Cairo shortly after the General Assembly decision in favor of partition.
		The only things left to Hajj Amin were the Palestinians' dream - necessarily latent under the circumstances - of independence, support of the Palestinian cause among widespread constituencies in the Arab countries, and especially the Arab leaders' fear of the aggrandizement of their rival Abdallah.

		The mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin al-Husayni had been in exile since 1937 and spent the war years in Nazi-occupied Europe, actively collaborating with German National Socialist leadership.
		In June 1946, the Arab League imposed upon the Palestinians the Arab Higher Executive, renamed into "Arab Higher Committee" in 1947, with Amin al-Husayni as its chairman and Jamal al-Husayni as vice-chairman.
		The day after the state of Israel was proclaimed, six League members, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, supported by other members (notably Yemen), coordinated the attack on the State of Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and explicitly stated the destruction of the newly-formed Jewish state as their goal.

	Israel and the Arab Coalition in 1948
		The friendship between the Hashemite ruler and the Zionist movement was cemented by a common enemy in the shape of the grand mufti, Hajj Amin al-Husayni, the leader of the Palestinian national movement.
		He was by far the ablest and most charismatic of the mufti's military commanders and his death marked the collapse of the Husayni forces in Palestine.
		Indeed, the attempt to bypass the Palestine Arabs and forge links with the rulers of the Arab states became a central feature of Zionist diplomacy in the 1930s and 1940s.

	Keffiyeh
		It was adopted by many of the Palestinians who supported Grand Mufti Amin al-Husayni during the Great Uprising.
		In the 1930s, the keffiyeh became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, as a result of its association with rural areas (as opposed to the city-dweller's fez).
		The British attempted to ban it in Jenin, and at one point, a British army chief went so far as to propose jailing any Palestinian who wore it, but he was overruled by his superiors.

	Review of The Grand Mufti: Haj Amin al-Hussiani, Founder of the Palestinian National Movement - Middle East Quarterly - June 1994
		With the publication of Elpeleg's excellent biography, Hajj Amin al-Husayni is now the subject of six biographies in English alone, as well as several in other languages.
		Because, as Elpeleg shows, Hajj Amin established many of the basics of Palestinian nationalism that endure to this day-from the adoption of the 1916 Sharifian banner as the Palestinian flag to the inveterate anti-Semitic tone of Palestinian politics.
		More: Hajj Amin determined the lines of Palestinian politics that endure decades after his influence eroded: "There is almost nothing in the PLO doctrine, or in the national charters of the Palestine National Council, which had not already been conceived and given expression by Haj Amin."

	Review of The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World - Middle East Quarterly - September 1995
		Of three recent biographies in English on Hajj Amin al-Husayni, the two favorable ones (by Taysir Jbara and Philip Mattar) are listed, while the critical one (Zvi Elpeleg, The Grand Mufti) is not.
		Hajj Amin al-Husayni, the notorious Palestinian leader, gets whitewashed in the Oxford Encyclopedia: the entry for Husayni says, for example, that he tried "to persuade Hitler to pledge support for Arab independence." 2.149 Really?
		In a letter dated January 20, 1941, and addressed to Hitler, Husayni appealed for German aid to the Arabs to fight Zionists on the grounds that this would "cause the Jews to lose heart," especially in the United States, and that in turn would prompt Roosevelt to abandon his support for Britain.

	Amin al-Husayni : Haj Amin Al-Husseini
		In 1921 the British high commissioner appointed Amin al-Husayni to be the grand mufti of Jerusalem and made him president of the newly formed Supreme Muslim Council[?], which controlled the Muslim courts and schools and a large portion of the funds raised by religious charitable endowments.
		Born in Jerusalem in 1893 at that time part of the Ottoman Empire, Amin al-Husayni, a member of Jersalem's most prominent family (the al-Husayni family), was the grand mufti of Jerusalem and important Arab nationalist figure who played a major role in Arab resistance to Zionist political ambitions in Palestine.
		Husayni came to dominate the Palestinian Arab movement after a bitter clash with the an-Nashashabis[?], Jersualem's other most prominent family, who tended to be more moderate and accomodating than the strongly anti-British Husayni Family.

		The Husaynis rallied to solicit hundreds of petitions from all over the country in support of the young Amin; the British authorities were subsequently obliged to overturn the vote and name Amin over the elected candidate.
		The Husayni family could take pride in Amin, who avidly guarded the Haram; it was as if the Ottoman Sultan at the end of the eighteenth century had foreseen the future when he entrusted the guardianship of the holy places in Jerusalem to Abd al-Latif al-Husayni and his progeny.
		On Saturday Amin and Musa Kazem al- Husayni were summoned to the house of the High Commissioner, who demanded that the Mufti do more to defuse the tension.

	Linked ideologies have different meanings - Opinions
		Hajj Amin al-Husayni, the mufti of Jerusalem, went to Germany where in 1941 he met with Adolf Hitler.
		In order to mobilize the Palestinian Arabs against the growing Zionist establishment, Palestinian leadership, most notably Hajj Amin al-Husayni, used Nazi rhetoric and Islamic themes that would eventually tarnish the Palestinian cause with the stigma of Islamic fanaticism and anti-Semitism.
		If Israel was a theocracy one might argue that criticizing her was equivalent to criticizing Judaism, or at least her interpretation of Judaism.
