The Muslim Brotherhood in America, Part 2 (Excerpts)

Muslim Brotherhood History and Their Arrival in America

Note: The author, Mr. Guandolo, is publishing this series on the site www.humanevents.com. He is a US Naval Academy Graduate, a former active duty Infantry/Reconnaissance Officer in the US Marine Corps, and a former Special Agent of the FBI in Washington DC for over 12 years. The excerpts below provide a glimpse into his compelling threat assessment with which I agree. After you read this posting follow the link for Mr. Guandolo’s full article which contains important details about this present danger to our nation.

In the autumn of 1914, the nearly 700 year old Islamic state (Caliphate), known as the Ottoman Empire, entered World War I on the side of the Central Powers (Germany et al), having already signed a secret agreement with Germany a few months earlier to do so. Following the defeat of the Imperial German Army and the end of the war, the Allies partitioned the Turkish country which led to the Turkish War of Independence. National hero and leader Mustafa Kemal created the secular nation-state of Turkey, and became its first President. The legal, business and social systems were turned on their heads in favor of those fashioned closer to a Western-style than an Islamic one. Ataturk built a secular military to protect Turkey.

A few years later (1928) outside of Cairo, Egypt, Hassan al Banna and his colleagues formed the Society of Muslim Brothers. Their purpose: to re-establish the Caliphate under which Shariah (Islamic Law) is the law of the land, and liberate the Islamic nation from the yoke of foreign rule. The Creed of the Brotherhood was, and is today: “Allah is our goal; the Messenger our Guide; the Koran our law; Jihad is our Way; and martyrdom in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration.”

The Muslim Brotherhood worked with the Nazi’s during World War II, as Hassan al Banna was fond of Hitler. Under the guidance of Muslim Brother Haj Amin al Husseini, the Grand Mufti (senior Islamic Jurist) of Jerusalem, the MB created an all Muslim SS Division within the Nazi’s Third Reich.

Key Brotherhood leaders came to the United States in the 1950’s after fleeing Egypt. The Brotherhood primarily settled in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. Their mission statement had not changed. They were here to re-establish the global Islamic State (Caliphate) and implement Islamic Law (Shariah).

In 1962-63, Muslim Brothers Ahmed Totanji, Jamal Barzinji, Hisham al Talib, and others established the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The purpose of the MSA was to give new young Muslims a place around which they could organize, train, and begin executing their strategy here in North America.

In the late 1960’s a group of Muslims, primarily of South Asian decent, organized in North America to form what formally became the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in 1977. ICNA’s stated goals, to include in their 2010 Handbook, is to establish the Al Jama’ah or Islamic State which, according to the handbook, “Has the authority to enforce Sharia’s political, educational, criminal Justice System…” ICNA is now partnered with the Muslim American Society (MAS) formed in 1993, another Muslim Brotherhood front group. Both of these organizations have many local offices all over the United States working in furtherance of the Islamic Movement.

As documented in the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic doctrine for North America, “An Explanatory Memorandum” dated 1991, the MB needed to create a vast number of new organizations to handle the requirements for the accelerating Movement here in the U.S. and in North America generally. According to the memorandum, new organizations were need to support the Movement in the following areas: political, cultural, financial, social, security, youth, women, media, intellectual, professional, administrative, legal, scientific, and others. In approximately 1993, the MB begins establishing between 80 and 120 new non-profit organizations annually.

Today, there are over 2,000 Islamic non-profit [501(c)(3)] organizations in the United States. Not all are controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, but many are. The number of total Islamic organizations here is multiplied significantly when the MB lobbying organizations, for profit organizations, and the many covert organizations they have established off the radar are all factored in. This is a staggering number, and is one more significant piece of evidence clearly identifying the Muslim Brotherhood’s hostile and well-organized Movement within the United States.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) is a multi-faceted lobbying organization, which is involved in outreach to the religious, law enforcement, Hollywood, and political communities. MPAC continues to gain credibility as CAIR becomes more widely known as the Hamas entity it is.

In Part III, we will take a deeper look into the MB’s doctrine and methodology here in the U.S., and discuss, in detail, a few of the key MB organizations already mentioned above.
