Faith that Allah is almighty and great. Belief that the Koran is the word of Allah as told to his messenger Mohammed by way of the Angel Gabriel.

Hatred of the Jews.

The spiritual leader of the world’s Zizari Ismaili Muslims was accused of pledging to raise an army of 30,000 Arab troops to back a German occupation of Egypt, Syria and Palestine.

Evidence emerged at the end of the war when the Allies captured German archives and interrogated their intelligence agents.

Details of the case have remained top-secret for more than 60 years and were declassified only last week, with their release by the National Archives at Kew.

In a 1942 memo submitted to the German Foreign Office by a Nazi agent, Aga Khan III expressed admiration for the puppet Vichy government in occupied France.

The Eton-educated racehorse owner then offered to raise troops in the Middle East to fight the Free French, saying: “If you give me ten to 15 days warning, I will have for you 30,000 armed Arabs, amongst my most faithful disciples, who will shoot the Gaullistes in the back.”

The Aga Khan and the Ismaili Muslims have long been revered as “peaceful”. I suppose, compared to some of their Sunni and Shia counterparts, they are. But in all reality, when it comes to killing Jews, you will find that Muslims of every stripe will be right there, gun in hand, ready to do the deed.
