 EWTN -  Papal Visit To Holy Land
Meeting with Grand Mufti The Pope's public appointments began with a courtesy visit to the Grand Mufti, Sheikh Akram Sabri, in Mosque Square, a plaza where the worship of Christians, Jews and Muslims comes together, as it is linked to Abraham and Isaac, the Jerusalem Temple, and Christ's prophecy of its destruction.
The meeting was preceded by last week's controversial statements by the Grand Mufti, who did not attend the assembly of religious leaders with the Pope on Thursday, because he did not want to shake hands with Israel's Chief Rabbi.
According to the Vatican, the mosque does not respond to a felt need of the Islamic community, which has other mosques in the area, but, rather, is a provocation (local Catholics describe it as a threat) against Christian pilgrims.

 Muftism The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and The Nazification of the Arab World
The Mufti was also a mentor to Yasir Arafat who has publicly praised him on many occasions, who shares his name and who is believed by many to be the Muftis nephew.
One of the reasons the Arabs rejected Amin el-Husseini as Mufti was because he was not a Sheikh, which is to say that he had not obtained a sufficient religious education so as to receive the necessary accreditation traditionally required to govern in the Muslim world.
In 1946, the Mufti is appointed head of the Wahabi Muslim Brotherhood, which is an example of a merge between Wahabi fanaticism and modern socialistic Nazism.
