The Evils of the Muslim Brotherhood

The Evils of the Muslim Brotherhood
By Raymond Ibrahim

Egypt's longtime banned Muslim Brotherhood-the parent organization of nearly every subsequent Islamist movement, including al-Qaeda-has just won the nation's presidency, in the name of its candidate, Muhammad Morsi. That apathy reigns in the international community, when once such news would have been deemed devastating, is due to the successful efforts of subversive Muslim apologists in the West who portray the Brotherhood as "moderate Islamists"-forgetting that such a formulation is oxymoronic, since to be "Islamist," to be a supporter of draconian Sharia, is by definition to be immoderate. Obama administration officials naturally took it a step further, portraying the Brotherhood as "largely secular" and "pluralistic."

Back in the real world, evidence that the Brotherhood is just another hostile Islamist group bent on achieving world domination through any means possible is overwhelming. Here are just three examples that recently surfaced, all missed by the Western media, and all exposing the Brotherhood as hostile to "infidels" (non-Muslims) in general, hostile to the Christians in their midst (the Copts) in particular, and on record calling on Muslims to lie and cheat during elections to empower Sharia:

Anti-Infidel: At a major conference supporting Muhammad Morsi-standing on a platform with a big picture of Morsi smiling behind him and with any number of leading Brotherhood figures, including Khairat el-Shater, sitting alongside-a sheikh went on a harangue, quoting Koran 9:12, a jihadi favorite, to portray all those Egyptians who do not vote for Morsi-the other half of Egypt, the secularists and Copts who voted for Shafiq-as "resisters of the Sharia of Allah," and "infidel leaders" whom true Muslims must "fight" and subjugate.

The video of this sheikh was shown on the talk show of Egyptian commentator Hala Sarhan, who proceeded to exclaim "This is unbelievable! How is this talk related to the campaign of Morsi?!" A guest on her show correctly elaborated: "Note his [the sheikh's] use of the word 'fight'-'fight the infidel leaders' [Koran 9:12]; this is open incitement to commit violence against anyone who disagrees with them…. How can such a radical sheikh speak such words, even as [Brotherhood leaders like] Khairat el-Shater just sits there?" Nor did the Brotherhood denounce or distance itself from this sheikh's calls to jihad and takfir.

Anti-Christian: It is precisely because of these sporadic outbursts of anti-infidel rhetoric that it is not farfetched to believe that Morsi himself, as some maintain, earlier boasted that he would "achieve the Islamic conquest (fath) of Egypt for the second time [which he just did], and make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya [which time will tell]."

Speaking of Christians, specifically the minority Copts of Egypt, in an article titled "The Muslim Brotherhood Asks Why Christians Fear Them?!" secularist writer Khaled Montasser, examining the Brotherhood's own official documents and fatwas, shows exactly why. According to Montasser, in issue #56 of the Brotherhood journal "The Call [da'wa]," published in December 1980, prominent Brotherhood figure Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah al-Khatib decreed several anti-Christian measures, including the destruction of churches and the prevention of burying unclean Christian "infidels" anywhere near Muslim graves. Once again, this view was never retracted by the Brotherhood. As Montasser concludes, "After such fatwas, Dr. Morsi and his Brotherhood colleagues can ask and wonder-"Why are the Copts afraid?!"

Lying, Stealing, and Cheating to Victory: In a recent article titled "The Islamist Group's Hidden Intentions," appearing in Watani, author Youssef Sidhom exposes a document "which carries the logos of both the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party." Written by the Deputy to the Supreme Guide, Khairat el-Shater and addressed "to all the Brotherhood branches in the governorates," the memo calls on Muslims to cheat, block votes, and "resort to any method that can change the vote" to ensure that Morsi wins, which, of course, he just did-amidst many accusations of electoral fraud. El-Shater concluded his memo by saying, "You must understand, brothers, that our interest lies wherever there is the Sharia of Allah, and this can only be by preserving the [MB] group and preserving Islam."

In short, the Muslim Brotherhood has not changed; only Western opinion of it has. As it was since its founding in 1928, the group is committed to empowering and spreading Sharia law-a law that preaches hate for non-Muslim "infidels," especially Islam's historic nemesis, Christianity, and allows anything, from lying to cheating, to make Islam supreme. Now that the Brotherhood has finally achieved power, the world can prepare to see such aspects on a grand scale.

Sadly the world is blind. If anyone desires proof of that statement, try submitting this article to any of the MSM. I guarantee they would not publish it. Nor would a Western government act on it, certainly not the current government in the United States.

Also in uk matt. My own thinking is that the west knows about the muslim brotherhood and are informed of these things but chooses to ignore for whatever reason they deem fit to use, a bit like putting your head in the sand.

I so agree. People are incredibly blind to the truth. My neighbors don't even know what the muslim brotherhood is or stands for. I really truly am concernedfor so many friends I know who do not know the truth. Open doors for us to tell the good word to those who are blind. Thank you Jesus for guiding us here to your truth of salvation and showing us the vision from our God Almighty through His Holy word.

I once met a Christian pastor by the name of Wasdi Iskander, a Bedouin and convert from Islam, who for many years was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Khartoum and who committed violent crimes in the name of Allah. After what he told me of the MB, I can never have the wool pulled over my eyes by any of them. They will say whatever they have to say in order to insinuate their movement into all possible places of influence and power. And that latter is their real target ... with Sharia and the rule of Allah being their only goal. Everything else is a means to that end. According to the Qur'an, if a Muslim sees no other way then deception and lies are perfectly acceptable methods of building Allah's Kingdom.

I cannot wait for the day when "allah" is proven to be a powerless, false god, his "prophet" a child-molesting fraud, and his religion a total forgery by HAYAH (I AM) (Exodus 3:14), the God of Israel's fathers.

Talk about mass conversion!

Exactly!!

Then allah's fearless leader will meet his fate...

Isaiah 14:15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you and ponder over you: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?’

It is like they are saying: "Seriously???? That is the dude???"

The United States is next.
