The history of the Muslim Brotherhood and its arrival in America, its key objectives and supporting doctrine, the individuals and organizations working to achieve its objectives, and some examples of how they are achieving them.
The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1) to implement shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State (caliphate).173
Therefore, AlQaeda and the MB have the same objectives. They differ only in the timing and tactics involved in realizing them.
The Brotherhood’s creed is: “God is our objective; the Koran is our law; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.” 174
It is evident from the Creed, and from the Brotherhood’s history (and current activities) detailed below, that violence is an inherent part of the MB’s tactics. The MB is the root of the majority of Islamic terrorist groups in the world today.175
The Ikhwan believes that its purposes in the West are, for the moment, better advanced by the use of non-violent, stealthy techniques. In that connection, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to establish relations with, influence and, wherever possible, penetrate: government circles in executive and legislative branches at the federal, state and local levels; the law enforcement community; intelligence agencies; the military; penal institutions; the media; think tanks and policy groups; academic institutions; non-Muslim religious communities; and other elites. The Brothers engage in all of these activities and more for one reason: to subvert thetargeted communities in furtherance of the MB’s primary objective – the triumph of shariah.176
