Mansfield News, 31 May 1919

Grand Mufti of Palestine
"The grand mufti of Palestine, descendent of Mohammed and head of all Moslems of Palestine, in a recent statement declared his opposition to a "Zionist commonwealth in the Holy Land. The mufti declared he is backed by a solid block of 500,000 Palestinian Arabs, whose national aspirations are quite different then their brethren of Hedjaz, Syria and of Egypt. Most of these Arabs, according to the Mufti, have studied English, almost all of them know French and they are a thinking and progressive people."
