In a new video interview, Shiekh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most respected clerics in the Muslim community and spiritual father of the Muslim Brotherhood, confirmed that the leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was once a member of the Brotherhood.
But he was always “inclined to be a leader,” so after he was released from prison (for his Brotherhood activities), he joined with the Islamic State, eventually rising to be its “caliph.”
According to Egyptian Minister of Religious Endowments (Awqaf), Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar Gom‘a, “Qaradawi’s confession confirms that the Brotherhood is the spiritual father to every extremist group.”
Qaradawi’s confession, of course, is not meant to cast aspersions on the Brotherhood. Rather, it seems that he was trying to revive the narrative that imprisoning and suppressing the Muslim Brotherhood—most recently in Egypt’s last revolution—only leads to greater “extremism.”

I would not at all be surprised if the black dwarf would actually have been an advisor to Homeland Security and be a member of the European Council for Fatwa and Research and have advised Oxford University. I am sure B Hussein Obama will send him a Tweet and he will see that he is not a real Muslim…
It is all due to islamophobia and a tough childhood, I am sure.

What a shocker.

THERE IS NO FORMER MEMBER OF THE BROTHERHOOD JUST AS THERE IS AL’QAEDA LINKED ANYTHING TO SEPARATE THE INTERTWINED NATURE OF THE “INDUSTRY OF DEATH” IT LATER BECAME THE “ART OF DEATH” AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY HASSAN AL’BANA THE OFFICIAL NAME ON THE SOCIETY OF THE MOSLEM BROTHERS IN THEIR 1928 CHARTER, THE ART OF DEATH WAS WRITTEN TO COINCIDE WITH THE NIGHT OF THE BROKEN GLASS IN GERMANY AND ITS SATELLITES THE POGROMS THAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THE HOLOCAUST. ISIS/IL ARE TRACEABLE TO THE QATARI TERROR HIGH COMMAND BASED IN DOHA AND TURKEY’S JANISSARY OF “MODERATE REBELS” ISIS’S EMBRYONIC STAGE.

That’s what I’ve been saying for a long time here on JW: ISIS, Hamas, Al Qaeda, Al Shabab, Al Nusra Front, Boko Haram, etc. ALL OF THEM are offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood international terrorist organization…true masters of the W.H.!!!
The Obama administration will never destroy ISIS, it will never destroy an ally.

UK Muslim Abu Baraa defends dhimmitude and sex slavery
He also says that now “that the caliphate (Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi0 has been reestablished, the Muslims can start having sex slaves again.”
The excerpt above is from the previous article @:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/10/uk-muslim-abu-baraa-defends-dhimmitude-and-sex-slavery
Islamic State leader is a former Muslim Brotherhood member
Oh yeah! Open slave sex season after a 90 year moratorium. The current spiritual leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who is claiming succession from Muhammad has re-established this edict. The ISlS are doing bad things because its written on the man made playbook, where a pseudo prophet said it’s ok to do so. For sure its not an ordained spiritual intervention, since it is NOT in God’s book of natural law; that does not say one can destroy the dignity of another human being under any man’s authority or under any circumstances. A religion that destroys one’s dignity is slavery….intentional deprivation of a human’s free will is the pinnacle plan of the devil (the supreme spirit of evil), aka Satan. Who always uses it as its tactical MO! In reality, in these times of great calamity/chaos is being caused by weaken men that have fallen to the wishes of Satan. Weaken men are the pawns of the devil. Folks, we are in a cycle once again in the middle of Satan’s re-staged shenanigans; spiritual warfare without a doubt! Re-emergence of evil is a cyclic event, just like the cyclic patterns of the weather’s climatic changes that we hear about nowadays. We can’t change the weather, but we can rely on God when we need and ask for His help! I wish some academic, out there, would compile data to plot a timeline of the past periods of turmoil like now and project future periods of same. Awareness will be a tool of readiness for the next possible eventuality peaks of evil events.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: the guy that we should ask intercession from the Blessed Virgin….for her to ask her Son, Jesus Christ, intervention…….not for his corporeal demise, but in erasing the newly assumed caliph’s maligned mindset…….resetting al-Baghdadi’s destructive mindset to one of a productive preoccupation. The Muslim’s need a constructive leader not a warlord like the founder of Islam. Lets face it, their maligned mindset of plus 1400 years of Islams existence has not been successful……it has killed millions, has kept their people in a constant duress status state and has not introduced them to be a modern productive society …..it’s about time for a change.
A side note:
Notable accounts of the Virgin Mary’s intercessions, where she asks her Son Jesus for His intervention many times just like the Cana marriage account in the Holy Scriptures. Here is a link of some compiled events that have been recorded through the years.

“Lepanto: In the 16th century, the Muslims were invading Europe and imposing their religion by force, thus destroying Christianity. They threatened to invade Rome, and Pope Pius V called upon Catholics to defend the faith. An army was formed and they set out after their enemy. On the 7th of October of 1572, the two armies faced each other in the Gulf of Lepanto. Between them, they had more than 400 ships and 80,000 soldiers. The Christians, however, were outnumbered. Before beginning the battle, they confessed, had Mass and prayed the Rosary, singing to the Blessed Mother. At the beginning, the battle was unfavorable for the Christians as the winds were blowing in the opposite direction, which kept their ships still. Then the Pope, with a great multitude of people, began to walk the streets of Rome praying the Rosary. In a miraculous manner, the wind changed its course and the sails of the ships took form and propelled the ships forward against their enemies, achieving victory. For this reason, the date of Oct. 7 is celebrated as the day of the Rosary.”
Here is another interesting article published by wikipedia, where in the Contents Section 5 writes about the Lepanto battle aftermath scenario. Could the present scenario with the ISIS quest to conquer Christianity is part of Satan’s plans of today…like his failed plans of the 16th century? I guess historical events do have a cyclic nature!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lepanto#Aftermath
Section 5 “The engagement was a significant defeat for the Ottomans, who had not lost a major naval battle since the fifteenth century. The defeat was mourned by them as an act of Divine Will, contemporary chronicles recording that “the Imperial Fleet encountered the fleet of the wretched infidels and the will of God turned another way.” (……)
My comment: When will the believers of the Qu’ran come to terms that Christianity is always resilient? By the Triune God Word…. inferring that is the nature of “My Universal Catholic Church.”
Matthew 16:18 “So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my community. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it.”

“those to whom we gave the scripture(Jews and Christians) recognize him(Muhammad sws) as they recognize there own sons but verily a part of them conceal the truth while they know it[i.e. the qualities of Muhammad (sws) which are written in the Torah and the Gospel]”
Ref: Quran C:2 V:146
say(o Muslims): “we believe in Allah(the supreme owner of the universe) and that which has been send down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim(Abraham),Ismail(Ishmael),Ishaq(Isaac),Ya’qub(Jacob) and to Asbat(the 12 offspring’s of the twelve sons of Jacob) and that which was given to Musa(Moses) and Isa(Jesus), and that which was given to the prophets from their lord, we make NO distinction between any of them, and to him we have submitted.
Ref: C:2 V:136 holy Quran
Or say you that Ibrahim(Abraham),Ismail(Ishmael),Ishaq(Isaac),Ya’qub(Jacob) and to Asbat(the 12 offspring’s of the twelve sons of Jacob) where Jews or Christians?!!!!!? say do you know better or does Allah(does the one who created everything know that they where all Muslims)???
and who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony[to believe in the prophet Mohammed (sws) when he comes, as is written in their books.]he has from Allah(the supreme lord)? and Allah(the supreme lord) is not unaware of what you do.
Ref C:2 V:140 Holy Quran
And they ( the Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son( children or offspring) glorified is he(exalted is he above all they associate with him) Nay, to him belongs all that is, and all surrender with obedience to him.
Ref C:2 V:116 Holy Quran

abdullah you wrote:
“the qualities of Muhammad (sws) which are written in the Torah and the Gospel]” Ref: Quran C:2 V:146”
With due respects, where in the Holy Gospels references this fact?
