This is the Sunni Islamic (the largest denomination of Islam) who was mainly the ones to take charge of Jerusalem's holy places. As seen in the chapter of Malcolm X, he described them in a specific way, saying that they are of very high authority. He was fitted in a ceremonial dress had attendants rushing downstairs to see him,coming and kissing his hands of some sort. Malcolm had gotten the chance to speak with him and whet he had realized was that he was a man of great dignity and knowledge. He knew much about the world and it's affairs that most people do not quite know of. However, in that period, there were no "Grand Mufuti of Jerusalem", but that of the notorious Mohammad Amin al-Husayni. He was a Jew killer. Meaning, he worked hand in hand with Adolf Hitler of the Nazi to kill all the Jews. Whether in a congregation or simply just spotted outside, the Grand Mutfi would do his utmost to kill them. It must be a great deal for Malcolm to talk with such a highly dangerous and authoritative individual.
