Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (18 July 1887–24 October 1945) was a Norwegian military officer, politician, and Nazi collaborator who nominally headed the government of Norway during the occupation of the country by Nazi Germany during World War II. He first came to international prominence organizing humanitarian relief during the Russian famine of 1921. He was posted as a Norwegian diplomat to the Soviet Union, and for some time also managed British diplomatic affairs there. He returned to Norway in 1929, and served as Minister of Defence in the governments of Peder Kolstad (1931–32) and Jens Hundseid (1932–33). In 1933, Quisling founded the fascist party Nasjonal Samling. His party failed to win any seats in the Storting and by 1940 it was little more than peripheral. On 9 April 1940, with the German invasion of Norway in progress, he attempted to seize power in the world's first radio- broadcast coup d'état, but failed after the Germans refused to support his government. From 1942 to 1945 he served as Prime Minister of Norway, heading the Norwegian state administration jointly with the German civilian administrator Josef Terboven. The collaborationist government participated in Germany's Final Solution, a genocidal program targeting Jews. Quisling was put on trial after World War II. He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was executed. More

Los Angeles, CA: Masjid Ibaadillah, 1992. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [4], 35, [1] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Stamp on back cover. The author states that "This Commentary is intentionally not focused on either religion or politics. It has been written as a matter of conscious and from a need to provide insight into a basic problem that is affecting our entire society. It is also meant for people of all races, creeds and colors." In 1985, led by Imam Saadiq Saafir, a group of families began meeting in a basement to practice their faith. In 1986, Masjid Ibaadillah was officially founded when those families purchased a storefront on W. Jefferson Blvd. Years later as the community grew an adjacent building was purchased. Today that storefront mosque still acts as a beacon of light amidst the drug infestation and prostitution that plague the area. Between 1986 and 2004 Masjid Ibaadillah provided Islamic studies classes, established programs that fed the homeless, held interfaith events, prison outreach programs, entrepreneurial groups and more. In addition, the ILM foundation was founded by Imam Saadiq in 1998 with meager resources. It has grown into a global organization hosting Humanitarian Day events in cities across the country and internationally as well. In 2007, Imam Saadiq’s son, Jihad Saafir, became the Imam. More
