 TheReligionofPeace - Mufti Mix-A-Lot
Throw in the right music and the Australian Mufti’s candid remarks comparing women to thick juicy steaks - in front of a roomful of men who can’t control their sex drive in the absence of a headscarf - would probably make a good rap video.
Mufti: “She is the one who takes her clothes off, cuts them short, acts flirtatious, puts on make-up and powder, and goes on the streets dallying…”
Mufti: “…then a look, then a smile, then a word, then a greeting, then a chat, then a date, then a meeting, then a crime.

  Haj Amin El Husseini (Hussayni)- Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin El Husseini- definition
The Mufti's role in war crimes was well documented, but he escaped detention in France where he was awaiting trial, and later led the Palestinian civil war against the Jews, in opposition to the UN partition plan.
The significance of the Mufti and his party in Palestinian society and in the history of Zionism and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was critical and must not be ignored.
For the Zionists, the Mufti represented the threat of imminent genocide, and his leadership and statements gave the Zionists to understand that the war with the Palestinians was a take-no-prisoners us-or-them life or death struggle.

 Nazi Roots of Palestinian Nationalism
Continuing its policy of siding with the Mufti, in June the Brits arrested scores of members of the Defense Party sponsored by the rival Nashashibi clan, despite lack of any evidence that the Nashashibis were involved in the massacres.
Thus, Hitler`s Mufti organized or encouraged three out of 27 Waffen SS divisions formed before 1945 (eleven other SS divisions were formed in 1945, but most of these were of questionable caliber and accepted soldiers of questionable skill).
The Mufti was similarly instrumental in the recruitment of the Azerbaijani battalion, which "proved their valor, were included in German Storm Troops and decorated by the German Army," according to a November 1943 broadcast by DNB, the German News Agency.

 Mufti
"Mufti" is quite common amongst older Brits - it came from the era of the colonies and was generally used by soldiers to mean "non-uniform dress".
"In mufti" is probably the commonest use, used particularly by ex-servicemen of my acquaintance.
I believe mufti is simply civilian dress and, frankly, is inappropriate to use as an alternative to "dress-down" - unless the power dressers think they are at war (saddos).

 The Mufti and the Fuehrer
The Mufti is, of course, Haj Amin el-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Fuehrer, Adolph Hitler.
It is hardly accidental that the systematic physical destruction of European Jewry by Hitler roughly coincided with the arrival of the Mufti to Germany.
And this “something” could very well have been that the Mufti was a British agent, working with their Governors in Palestine, since both parties shared the same views with regards to the emigration of European Jews to Palestine.

So it was, understandably, with an edgy mix of trepidation and elation that I recently agreed to lead prayers for a congregation that included, upon his request, the former Grand Mufti of Marseilles, Sohaib BenCheikh.
For a woman to lead a mufti, even a mufti known for his liberal views, was not just ground-breaking; it could be the linchpin in the effort to legitimize women imams.
A mufti is a religious authority somewhat akin to a bishop--a scholar of Islamic theology, law and jurisprudence who is qualified to issue fatwas, or religious rulings.

The honorable delegate of Guatemala has accused the Mufti of having been one of the initiators of, and one of the most active collaborators in, the plan for the systematic extinction of the Jews during the war.
Al-Hut describes the Mufti's actions during the World War II as his fight against the "rascist" Zionism and "her objective jugdment went astray, and she wrote as a propagandist rather than as a researcher." The continous Arab whitewashing of the Mufti's career during his stay in Germany has not been proven reasonable.

 Islamic body to get rid of mufti role | News | The Australian
TAJ Din al-Hilali is set to be stripped of his title of mufti on the grounds that Australia's 300,000 Muslims do not need a national leader.
AFIC spokesman Haset Sali said yesterday that the new executive board, expected to be elected in February, would work to remove the position of mufti from the council's constitution because it was not relevant to Australian society.
Mr Sali said he was one of only a few people on the council who had voted against Sheik Hilali's appointment to the post of mufti in 1989, because he believed that the Egyptian-born cleric's views were in conflict with Australian values.
