MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

The Muslim Brotherhood (Hizb al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) is a name that has been appearing frequently in the media, since the many uprisings in the Middle East, most notably in Egypt. Depending on who you read, or listen to, the Brotherhood is” not to be feared” or they are “Islamic extremist and an international danger.”


For many years Middle East countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia have classified the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organization. The London-based al-Hayat newspaper reported Saudi Ministry of Education issued a resolution to withdraw several books from public schools seen as inciting violence. Books accused of having a negative impact on students are like the writings of leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood such as it’s founder, Sheikh Hassan al-Banna.

On the supposedly peaceful side - Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, said, "The term 'Muslim Brotherhood'...is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam... They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera. but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence.”

Even the Obama administration took the rare step of correcting its own intelligence chief, after the official claimed Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is "largely secular. It is scary to learn that our Director of National Intelligence does not understand an enemy who advocates the destruction of the U.S.A.

Then there is former President Jimmy Carter’s opinion about the Brotherhood. He said "I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely." It seems that Carter is not aware of the Brotherhood’s own motto and statements (below) or he thinks they are joking.

From the opposite point of view according to Richard Clarke, Chief counterterrorism advisor on the U.S. National Security Council under Presidents Clinton and Bush, “The Muslim Brotherhood has provided the ideological underpinning for almost all the modern Sunni Islamic terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. In fact the Brotherhood plays an active role in promoting terrorism against the U.S.” Congresswomen Sue Myrick, member of the committee on Intelligence, said” the Muslim Brotherhood is not secular it is a religious organization that is a threat.”
Since its founding in 1928 the Brotherhood’s motto gives a clear indication that the Brotherhood is a real threat to all infidels (non-Muslims). “The Middle East Quarterly,” Winter 2005 issue states the Brotherhood motto is “Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; jihad is our way; and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." The Brotherhood’s goal is to turn the world into an Islamist empire. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is a revolutionary fundamentalist movement dedicated to restoring the caliphate and strict shariah (Islamist) law in Muslim lands and, ultimately, the world. Remember the term Jihad has been diverted by the Islamic terrorists to mean Holy War.


This Islamist organization now has chapters in more than 80 countries including the United States. The Muslim Brotherhood founder, Hassan al-Banna , stated “the nature of Islam is to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.”


In October 2010 Dr.Mohammed Badie called for Jihad against Israel and the USA. In January 2011, at the Al Ahzare University, the premier authority of Sharia law, Dr. Imad Mustafa issued a Fatwa that it was legal to attack Infidels (non-Muslims), who try to prevent the implementation of Islamic Sharia law, in any country in the world.

Then on Jan 16, 2011, Dr, Mohammad Badie was elected to be the Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood. In September 2010 Badi stated The Brotherhood calls for jihad against “the Muslim’s real enemies, not only Israel but also the United States. Waging jihad against both of these infidels is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.” In September 2010 Badi also said The Brotherhood advocates violent jihad: The “change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life.”

On December 17, 2010 the Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, said The Brotherhood “sanctioned martyrdom operations in Palestine They do not have bombs, so they turn themselves into bombs. This is a necessity.”

It makes sense to heed the warnings of an enemy who speaks with such threats. Isn’t it smart to protect oneself when your enemies’ actions are violent and harsh to those who do not conform to their desires. Now is theme to protect our freedom.
