Egypt in danger of Muslim Brotherhood takeover

Reports and documents provided by an Israeli source exclusively to the Law Enforcement Examiner reveal a different picture of the Muslim Brotherhood than that being promulgated by Washington, DC insiders and denizens of America’s newsrooms.

While members of the Obama Administration — including President Barack Obama himself — continue to spin the news coming out of Egypt and other Arab countries to bolster Obama’s "Arab Spring" storyline,intelligence reports appear to dispute the White House’s Middle East analysis or at least its conclusions.

The well-qualified Israeli source — who possesses a wealth of both law enforcement and military intelligence experience and knowledge — supplied the Law Enforcement Examiner with a number of key reports and resources regarding the radical Islamic group known as the Muslim Brotherhood.

On more than one occasion, members of the Obama Administration have told the press and the American people that the Muslim Brotherhood is: (a) not a terrorist group; (b) is a moderate Islamic group; and (c) is not as powerful as many believe. However, intelligence officers and analysts with an expertise in Islamic terrorism know that the Muslim Brotherhood is every bit as dangerous as other groups such as Somalia’s Al Shabaab or Pakistan’s Haqqani groups.

The Muslim Brotherhood uses doubletalk: When appealing to its Arab-Muslim target audience, it reveals its genuine worldview and political agenda. Those include the negation of the State of Israel’s right to exist, the demand for the establishment of an Islamic Palestinian state on all the land of Palestine, and fierce opposition to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, according to the Examiner’s Israeli source.

The Muslim Brotherhood preaches a continuation of the terrorism against Israel, praises the terrorist attacks against the United States in the various theaters of fighting, and is hostile to the West and the more moderate Arab regimes.

However, when appealing to its fellow members of the anti-Israel coalition, Muslim Brotherhood activists are careful to hide or obscure their Islamic radicalism (and sometimes even deny belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood). They adopt terminology from the field of "human rights discourse," and speak of the "deprivation" of the Palestinians and the "brutality" of the "Israeli occupation." Those terms serve them as a foundation sufficiently broad to include all the members of the coalition acting against Israel.

The Internet weekly Muslim Brotherhood organ Risalat al-Ikhwan posts strong hate propaganda and incitement against Israel and the West, and is the Muslim Brotherhood’s main publication. It is issued in London by the Muslim Brotherhood Information Center and is also disseminated via the Muslim Brotherhood’s London-based main web site, (www.ikhwanpress.com).

Its general supervisor is Ibrahim Munir, born in Egypt in 1937, who has lived in London for many years. He belongs to the global Muslim Brotherhood’s guidance team, is the global Muslim Brotherhood’s secretary general and the movement’s spokesman for dealing with the West.

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND PICCADILLY CIRCUS

Recently, the weekly Risalat al-Ikhwan, the Muslim Brotherhood’s London-based publication, has praised the Hamas attack southeast of Hebron in which four Israeli civilians were murdered. The "propaganda rag" has been at the forefront of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, said theIsraeli source.

One article in the weekly called for jihad against Israel and included strong hate propaganda and incitement against the United States and the moderate Islamic regimes. There is nothing exceptional about the articles.

For the past decade, since its founding, the Risalat al-Ikhwan has waged a hate campaign against Israel and the West, exploiting Britain’s freedom of the press

The weekly "Media Letter," which appeared in the September 1, 2010 issue of Risalat al-Ikhwan, showered praise on the terrorist attack in which four Israeli civilians were murdered at the Bani Naim junction southeast of Hebron on August 31, 2010. The attack was carried out to undermine the re-launching of the direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The relevant passage of the Media Letter says the following: "The Muslim Brotherhood extols the military operation carried out yesterday by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in the city of Hebron in the West Bank. It emphasizes that the option of resistance [i.e., terrorism] is the only option which ensures the return of the stolen Palestinian lands and the establishment of the Palestinian state, whose capital will be the holy city of Jerusalem, on all the land of Palestine, which is Arab-Muslim land. It stresses that support for that option [of resistance] is the personal duty of all the people, governments and organizations in all the Arab and Muslim countries"

In a letter published in Risalat al-Ikhwan on October 21, 2010, Muhammad Badi’, the Muslim Brotherhood’s General Guide, called for a jihad and armed intifada against Israel. The article included strong hate propaganda and incitement against the West and the moderate Arab regimes. It was posted on the official Muslim Brotherhood web site in Egypt (Ikhwanonline) on September 30 and on the following day it also appeared in the London-based Risalat al-Ikhwan, which represents the Muslim Brotherhood movement throughout the world (Ikhwanpress.com web site).

Muhammad Badi’s letter was entitled "Islam copes with oppression and tyranny" and its main points were the following:

A. Many Arab-Muslim regime are weak, dependent on the West, and act against the interests of the Islamic nation. They forget that the real enemy is the "Zionist entity [sic]." They flee from confronting Israel and do not carry out the command to Allah to wage jihad for his sake with both money and lives.

B. "World Zionism [sic]" recognizes only the language of force and therefore Muslims must "strike iron with iron." The reform and change sought by the Muslim nation can only be achieved through "the founding of a jihad generation which concentrates on death the way the enemies of Islam concentrate on life…"

C. The Palestinian Authority, which has returned to negotiations with the Zionists, "is about to breathe its last on the table of direct negotiations." The Palestinian people are planning a third intifada timed for the anniversary of the second.

D. The United States, defeated and humiliated, is marching towards its annihilation and cannot force an arrangement on the Palestinian people. It is now withdrawing from Iraq, "beaten and wounded," and is about to withdraw from Afghanistan. The "resistance" [i.e., violence and terrorism] is the only solution for the "Zionist-American tyranny," and therefore the Arab and Islamic people support it.

Mohamed Badia, whose radical Islamic ideology is disseminated by Risalat al-Ikhwan, was chosen as the general guide (i.e., leader) of the Muslim Brotherhood movement in Egypt in January 2010. He subscribes to the extreme jihadist ideology of Sayid Qutb, which focuses on immediate, violent jihad against the "infidels"
