Default What do the scholars/historians say regarding sharif hussain and the ottomans?
from a previous thread:

ajeeb post by matbooh...ajeeb...my uncle was questioned by the jordanians and terrorized for more than 1 week. He said they are worse than the jews....the sharif of hussain. Enough can be said that he was a traitor. Before anyone pulls out the syed card and makes an excuse for the fool and his descendents the foolish abdullah of jordon he was responsible for the capture and imprisonment of syed husain ahmed madni and syed uzair gul rh along with shaykh ul hind. One of the people of this forum nayyarsh is from the family of syed uzair gul and he shall tell you more about the treachery of sharif hussain. I would anyday live in saudi arabia over jordon. Compare both countries and see a world of difference. Jordan does not use deen to justify itself? Is that why the ahle baitt foundation comes up with dodgy stuff all the time with the common word etc....The queen of jordan has openly spoken out against shariah. Man matbooh seriously you need to live in jordan for sometime and then live in saudi. The jordanian mukabarat are dogs....... i wasn't aware that sharif hussain bore some responsibility for the capture of Shaikhul hind..this is news to me.

i want to know more about him. at first i thought he was of good character and was a great scholar etc. but had differences with the turks which lead to his war with them. then i learned from my family, that he was a power hungry guy who basically seized power for himself and betrayed the turks in their time of weakness. what's the whole truth of the story?

n.b. i've read all the wikipedia articles but they lack a lot of info.

also i watched "lwarence of arabia" along time ago and in that movie they depict the arab fighters as "freedom fighters" who are basically regaining their freedom from the turks who have been denying them education, forcing them into poverty and other such things.....is there any truth to this?

do the arabs of today view the ottomans with resentment?

br. tripoly sunni your views would be greatly appreciated.
