Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Danger of the Muslim Brotherhood

Dec 28, 2018 1:25 pm By Rami Dabbas

The Muslim Brotherhood was the first to mobilize the modern-day jihad in Afghanistan, when the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader in Egypt sent an envoy named Kamal al-Sananiri to Pakistan. Kamal was in Saudi Arabia, where he met the Palestinian Brotherhood leader Abdullah Azzam and persuaded him to travel to Islamabad. From there, Azzam became director of the mobilization campaign of the Arab Mujahedeen in Afghanistan.

According to terror researcher Thomas Hegghammer, this meeting demonstrates the key role that the Muslim Brotherhood networks played in the role that Arabs played in the jihad in Afghanistan. The Brotherhood served as the primary connection between Arab countries and the jihad groups in Afghanistan early in the 1980s. The Brotherhood also exhorted Islamic organizations such as the Muslim World League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (now the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) to aid the Afghan mujahedin.

The participation of Saudis in the Afghan jihad started first through the Muslim World League and the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdullah Azzam is the one who said that jihad in Afghanistan was an eye for every Muslim. Osama bin Laden was one of the Arabs who came to Afghanistan in 1984. His political leanings were formed by the high school teachers he studied under in a Syrian Muslim Brotherhood school.

Bin Laden and Azzam met. Azzam played an influential role in the life of bin Laden, who became the chief sponsor of the recruiting of mujahedin. This is a historical fact: the Muslim Brotherhood invented modern jihad terrorism. The Brotherhood is one of the main sources of al-Qaeda.

If you do not support the Muslim Brotherhood, in its eyes you are an infidel and enemy of Allah, whatever your political stance or intellectual affiliation. If you are a nationalist, you are an infidel. I If you are a patriot, you are an infidel. If you are a liberal, you are an infidel. Muslim Brotherhood members and followers consider themselves to be part of a righteous movement and do not tolerate anyone who is not one of them.

The Brotherhood makes intensive attempts to brainwash youths who have been attracted to its message. The goal always sought is one of political interests.

The concept of civil jihad, which the group has maintained day and night, has become a mere myth of the Brotherhood, and something that the Muslim organization will adopt at some later stage. as it pursues the concept of what is called armed or military jihad to achieve its goals, including seizing power anywhere it can. The famous saying of the Muslim Brotherhood is “Death in the name of Allah is our highest hope.”

The intellectual line of the Muslim Brotherhood is fully allied with the ideological line of al-Qaeda and Hamas. That is very dangerous.

At the same time, the group practices a strategic deception: it is allied with liberal movements to get into power. It exploits their support, as we see in many countries of Europe, as well as in Canada and during the Obama era in the United States.

The Muslim Brotherhood uses taqiyya and claims it is in favor of democracy, peace, human rights and the peaceful transfer of power, which all are lies.

The Brotherhood does not believe in the secular state. It seeks to remove it. It is planning to establish Islamic governments.

The Muslim Brotherhood does not believe in the homeland. It denies the very principle of citizenship. It despises the idea of a nation state.

There is no place for non-Muslims in the ideology and organization of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood does not believe in democracy. It uses it as a tool. It uses it to rob state institutions.

The mind has no place in the Brotherhood’s philosophy.

Stability is not the right atmosphere for the Brotherhood to advance. It loves the atmosphere of chaos, because it achieves its goals through it.

The agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood is an entirely different one from what most people think. Their unknown aspects of their agenda are larger than the known ones. What they have kept secret is much bigger than what they have declared. The Brothers are more suspicious and vague than clear and transparent.

The Brotherhood hijacks your freedom and democracy, steals your will, and grabs your right to decide your future.

The Brotherhood wants to hijack your homeland and create an Islamic caliphate and implement totalitarian sharia law everywhere.

The movements of political Islam, even those that are not dependent on violence, teach Muslims that Western societies are infidel and corrupt. This is very dangerous.

There is no big difference between the mentality of al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood’s view of dealing with Europe and America. The only difference from the Brotherhood’s point of view is that al-Qaeda preaches violence in order to reach its goals, while the Brotherhood preaches taqiyya to infiltrate Western governments and replace their constitutions with the Qur’an and sharia.

The Brotherhood views Europe and the West in general as a corrupt and infidel society in which the Muslim should not be integrated. They also oppose Western governments and the war against terrorism. There is no difference between different Islamic jihad groups except minor ones. They all agree on the goal of conquering and dominating the West, then creating an Islamic caliphate.

Finally, people have to understand that every Islamic jihad terror leader from ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, etc.. were Muslim brotherhood members in the past: Abdullah Azaam, Osama bin Laden and ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The list goes on. All of them were Muslim Brotherhood before they went to Al-Qaeda and ISIS and other terror groups. It’s funny when countries such as Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and Lebanon designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organization while USA still has not done so.

    Hassan Al Banna started the organization in response to the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the pressured abdication of Abdulmecid II in the role of Caliph. To the devout Muslim committed to the idea of the Islamic State, ruled by a holy Caliph, these events in the early 20th were a humiliation. The idea of the Muslim Brotherhood is little different than the warring princes of middle Europe who intended to form the Holy Roman Empire in an effort to resurrect the power of ancient Rome under a new theocratic law.

    The Muslim Brotherhood is weak from a political standpoint, but nearly gained a foothold in Egypt with the help of Obama, Clinton and Kerry. They conceal their true motives in the west with misinformation, phoney rights activism, smears, censorship, deceit, subterfuge, payoffs and strategic “investments” in social media, and the MSM… and also with massive lobbying money paid to compliant politicians and university academics.

    We buy a liter of petrol and a few years later the money comes back to fund our demise.

        Yes, a very fine summary. I like to point out that the Muslim Brotherhood based itself on the party models of Mussolini, Kemal Ataturk and Adolf Hitler. The MB is a truly fascist party. They certainly communicated with Nazis who were in North Africa until the commencement of hostilities in 1939. It is likely the MB received financial support from Hitler as well.

        It is shocking that the Obama government PROMOTED the MB in Egypt, considering it is a true example of Islamofascism.

        This alliance between so-called ‘progressives’ and the MB shows that the ‘progressives’ are actually posing as neo-Marxists. The Globalist-Progressives are actually a GLOBAL FASCIST party hiding its true intentions of a world controlled by the 1% banksters and their elite globalist bureaucracy. The globalists are now working on a COUP D’ÉTAT through the manipulation of POPULATION in advanced countries. By forcing advanced countries to take millions of Globalists, they hope to undermine the democratic process and censor parties and individuals opposed to globalism. This is curtains for democracy if the peoples of Europe do not break up the EU.

    Their Motto:

    “Allah is our objective.
    The Prophet is our leader.
    The Quran is our law.
    Jihad is our way.
    Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

      Dec 28, 2018 at 5:57 pm

      islam take over the world?

      Not according to Christian prophecy: 2 Thessalonians 1 v 7-10 for starters..

      islam is the greatest persecutor of christians:it is the religion of antiChrist.

      If “allah” was God,he would not NEED to take over the World,would he?

      muslims may believe their muslim god “allah” will triumph but “allah” is NOT the Biblical God:allah,after all, is a god who curses Jews and Christians k9:30,completely missed the 2 chief commandments, doesn’t understand the source of Biblical prophecy and is so deluded he thinks that he personally wrote the Bible{koran 5 v 46 Gospel,koran 2 v 87 Torah}..which no Jew or Christian believes.

      But Christians believe God ALREADY owns the World and has no need to use endless violence to conquer what is already His:so who is this “allah” that wants to use endless war and evil to take over the world that already belongs to the Judeo-Christian version of God?

      allah is “the BEST of DECEIVERS” k3:54,so good at it that muslims think he’s God but.. allah is NOT the biblical God.

      islam won’t win:Biblical prophecy is clear on that.
      {allah,by the way,doesn’t know where Biblical prophecy comes from since he rejects that aspect of God through which Biblical prophecy comes,due to his EPIC misunderstanding of the Theology behind the Trinity {see koran 4:171 and compare with 2 Peter 1 v 20-21}.Even if one thinks the Trinity is nonsense it is important to know that Christians don’t believe God is divided into parts or are polytheist or see it as God having companions or that Mary{laughably} is part of it:but allah does!So allah doesn’t even understand Theology.muslims accuse Christians of Shirk but Christians don’t believe God is divided into parts;the Trinity is MONOTHEISTIC,an integrated whole..but allah himself doesn’t understand it!!}

      It is essential to see the difference between the islamic koranic “allah” and the Biblical God:they are NOT the same.Even if one is an atheist it is imperative to know the difference…

        @FYI…very good informative post…Why WOULD God need to conquer the world??? He already owns it and the whole universe as well ….. Muslims believing what they do is as dumb as dirt! They are being led to hell! Unlike the proverbial horse who can be led to water but not made to drink, Muslims are being led to hell and are drinking their fill and muhammad, in hell,is laughing all the way tobhell’s bank.

    So why did Obama support the Muslim Brotherhood? It’s not as if, like George W Bush, he knew nothing about Islam.

    • Antivenin says

      Dec 28, 2018 at 3:45 pm

      I would not be surprised if one day it turns out that Obama was a Muslim Brotherhood plant…

    • Karen says

      Dec 28, 2018 at 8:29 pm

      President Obama knows a great deal about Islam. He spent part of his formative years not playing baseball with the guys in some American town, but living in an Islamic country and attending Islamic schools. As a result, his actions at times indicated a strong Islamist bent.

      He proclaimed that the “future must not belong” to those who would criticize the founder of Islam, instead of defending the universal freedom of speech you would expect an American president to do. He handed Iraq over to ISIS while giggling about them being the JV team. He protected a soldier-convert to Islam who went AWOL and sought out the enemy. He strongly favored unveted Muslim Syrians as refugees while sponsoring exactly one Christian Syrian refugee. A highly-regarded Catholic nun was persistently denied a visitor’s visa because her presence here would have been was seen as a rebuke to Islam. (The denial was eventually reversed.) He met with the Muslim Brotherhood on many occasions in the confines of the White House, presumably the hallowed Oval Office.

      Whatever his intentions, whenever President Obama was involved, the Islamists seemed to win. Based on so many of the outcomes, I would assume that Islamism was his goal. .

        Agreed, mostly, but please tell us more about the meetings in the White House and Oval Office, if you would.

        And don’t forget giving over a hundred billion to the mullahs and the regime in Iran.

      • Mikeaijl says

        Dec 29, 2018 at 6:23 pm

        More than meeting muslims in the White House, obama had them in key positions in the government. The muslim brotherhood had access to state secrets for the eight years that this antiAmerican regime was in power. He made a comment when he first came to power, that America would never go to war with islam. The man was a traitor to the government of the United States. Actually, I don’t know if he would be considered a traitor because I don’t believe he was a citizen of this nation, but who can prove it? He is responsible for all of the unrest in this country, and I have no doubt that what is happening today is exactly what he hoped for.

    The Danger of the Muslim Brotherhood
    …………………….

    Yes–the Muslim Brotherhood kickstarted the modern Jihad shortly after the dissolution of the Caliphate in the 1920s–almost a hundred years ago.

    And welcome to Rami Dabbas–I think this is the first article I have seen by him at Jihad Watch.

  5. Michael Copeland says

    Dec 28, 2018 at 7:47 pm

    “Destroying the Western civilisation from within” is the stated aim of the Muslim Brotherhood (“Explanatory Memorandum”).
    “Using deception to mask intended goals” is one of the techniques (ditto).

    • mummymovie says

      The piggybacking-on and co-opting of of existing social causes and “movements” seems to be an MB hallmark, as well, especially during chaotic times.

      Think of the “standing with” and co-opting of and Black Lives Matter by muslims in the U.S., or the that of the so-called “feminist” Womens’ March, and their curious, contradictory, and downright foolish wearing of hijabs and other islamic headbags as a symbol of liberation, rather than the historical symbols of totalitarian oppression of women they actually represent.

      This stuff, I am told, is right out of the Brotherhood playbook.

    The worst part of this article is the part not spoken. People that could have and should have educated themselves about the conflict in Afghanistan did not. Many people in the US, including president Regan supported these jihadis in the fight against the USSR. This came back to bite us in the nose. We gave these self appointed holy warriors the tools and training to fight a superpower to a standstill.

    We should have let the USSR and Afghanistan/Pakistan claw at each other without helping them. We even brought the injured “warriors” here to the US for medical treatment. We have no one to blame but our own leadership for helping to spread the lies of a so called religion of pieces. Or is it peace? I cannot really tell, as there are so many pieces of formerly intact human beings littered where these miscreants show up.

    Maybe the Muslim Brotherhood is an integrated part of Freemasonry? They have a lot in common and also many western politicians are actually Freemasons who despise Christianity, are willfully paving the way for Islam in the USA and Europe.

    Sorry but I am just trying to connect some dots here….

    Huma Abedin was officially an editor of a Muslim Brotherhood publication, and she was chief of staff to the Secretary of State under HRC.

    The Canadian arm of the MB, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, financed in part by Trudeau, follows the jihadist culture of the MB. Black Lives Matter is also guided by the MB. BLM Canada controls Pride. Trudeau wears pink and attends those parades, joining in with his fellow gender confused.
