death.
- Protesters used firebombs, set army vehicles on fire and battled with security forces in Egypt's most violent
clashes since the February uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak as Egypt's president.
At least 24 people have ben killed and more than 200 injured. Dozens of people have been arrested.
In recent weeks Muslim crowds have rioted at two churches in southern Egypt. Officials at one of these churches
agreed to a demand that a cross and bells be removed from the church building.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Salafi pact puts Egyptian Christians in great danger - Telegraph - UK
- Editor's Note: Some of the media reports mention that Islamic Salafists are the extremists behind
this riot. They apparently started the violence but the Christians became the military's target. Meanwhile, the media
scarcely mentions the influence of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, but that radical group is now doing their dirty work through
the Salafists. Remember that our own administration tried to tell us that the Musllim Brotherhood wasn't so bad, and
that they were a tiny minority during the Egyptian "Arab Spring" protests. Experts in Egyptian affairs now say
that Muslim Brotherhood candidates would win if Egyptian elections were held today.
Who is the Muslim Brotherhood?

Egypt in 1928, is a revolutionary fundamentalist movement to restore the caliphate and strict Shariah

The Muslim Brotherhood's Salafi pact puts Egyptian Christians in great danger
May 13, 2011 - Michael Weiss, a foreign policy expert warns that a new coalition between the Muslim
Brotherhood and several Salafi groups, including Jama’a al-Islamiyya, will give the Brotherhood greater political
clout, and will lead to persecution of the Coptic Christians in Egypt.
Jama’a al-Islamiyya is the sect that played a role in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981. It was
cited by Ayman al-Zawhiri in 2006 as an affiliate member of al-Qaeda.
- ...its spiritual leader Omar Abdel-Rahman (a.k.a. the "Blind Sheikh") [was] sentenced for life in the
United States for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
This political alliance will undoubtedly lead to persecution of the Coptics in the days ahead. Some of their
churches have already been burned down.

Will Muslim Brotherhood succeed where Osama bin Laden failed?
May 11, 2011 - Bestselling author Ayaan Hirsi Ali shows that the Muslim Brotherhood learned the hard way
that violence will be met with superior violence by state governments. They changed their tactics to develop a
bottom-up movement rather than a commando structure, and are now poised to take control of the Egyptian government.
He compares this strategy to that of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran.
- All that Khomeini did before he came to power in Iran was to preach the merits of a society based on Islamic
law. He did not engage in terrorism. Yet he and his followers took over Iran.
He explains that if the Muslim Brotherhood succeeds in ruling Egypt, it will depend in part on the willingness of
America and her allies to underestimate their ambitions and political skills.

Franklin Graham: World’s Christians in Grave Danger
Mar. 18, 2011 - The Muslim Brotherhood is fomenting much of the rebellion and the deteriorating social order
in the Middle East, and here in our country, the Obama administration has enabled their cause. Franklin Graham,
son of beloved evangelist Dr. Billy Graham, and founder of The Samaritan’s Purse international charity, complains,
- “The Muslim Brotherhood is very strong and active here in our country... We have these people
advising our military and State Department. We’ve brought in Muslims to tell us how to make policy toward Muslim
countries.
Graham predicts that persecution of Christians in the Middle East will increase dramatically as the Muslim
Brotherhood continues to gain strength in countries llike Egypt, Tunisia, and Lebanon.

The Muslim Brotherhood
Feb. 19, 2011 -
We all rejoice at the demise of a dictatorship. But important questions need to be answered: “Who will fill the
leadership vacuum?” And, “How will the new leadership of Egypt relate to the United States and Israel?”
Apparently, the only organized leadership in Egypt at present is the Muslim Brotherhood. The liberal media and
some in our government tell us not to worry about a take-over of Egypt by Islamic Radicals like what happened in
Iran in 1979. They say the Muslim Brotherhood only represents about 20% of the people of Egypt, and that their goals are peaceable.
On the contrary, their history and stated objectives tell us that they are dangerous. It was formed in 1928,
four years after the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire, and its sole purpose was the resurrection of the Caliphate.
Their goal is to restore Islam and Sharia Law in its fullness.
Their graduates include Al Qaeda’s number two leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri who was imprisoned for three years on
weapons charges following President Anwar Sadat’s assassination in 1981. They also produced Hamas, the terror network
behind suicide bombings and rocket attacks in Israel.
In the midst of the Egyptian protests, Muhammad Ghannem, a leading member of the Brotherhood, said that he would
like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel.
it is likely that the majority of Egyptians will follow The Brotherhood into a new and more disturbing kind of
dictatorship.

Egypt Gets Its Khomeini
Feb. 18, 2011 - On this first Friday after Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak stepped down, hundreds of thousands
of Egyptians congregate to celebrate the event. Their Friday prayers speaker of the day is Yusuf al-Qaradawi,
the best-known Muslim Brotherhood cleric in the world and one of the most famous Islamist thinkers. He was banned
from Egypt during Mubarak's reign. For him to be invited to speak at this point is an implication that he is the
spiritual father of their revolution.
- Qaradawi, though some in the West view him as a moderate, supports the straight Islamist line: anti-American,
anti-Western, wipe Israel off the map, foment Jihad, stone homosexuals, in short the works
The writer, Bary Rubin, who literally wrote the book, The Muslim Brotherhood, says that Qaradawi is the most
dangerous revolutionary Islamist in the world, and he is about to unleash the full force of his power and persuasion
on Egypt.

The Voice of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood
Feb. 15, 2011 - Muslim televangelist Yusuf al-Qaradawi, known as the "First Global Mufti," is heard via
Al-Jazeera television every Sunday on his program, "Shariah and Life." Some 60 million Muslims listen to him explain
what the Muslim Brotherhood believes, and even though he calls himself a "moderate," some of his teachings are extreme.
Qaradawi advocates establishing a "United Muslim Nations," which would be a contemporary form of the caliphate.
- He hates Israel and would love to take up arms himself. In one of his sermons, he asked God "to kill the
Jewish Zionists, every last one of them."
Qaradawi was imprisoned three times by former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser because of his Islamist activities.
He went into exile in Qatar in 1961, and is still living there now.

Feb. 10, 2011 - The Palestinian Media Watch has translated "The Laws of Da’wa" by Mustafa Mashhur, who headed

be liberated and assume its rightful position which was intended by Allah, as the most exalted nation among men, as

“Inside the Mind of the Muslim Brotherhood” — By Walid Shoebat
Feb. 2, 2011 - Walid Shoebat, who used to be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, warns that they are
dangerous extremists. He points to the meaning of the single Arabic word that appears on the Egyptian based Muslim
Brotherhood’s logo, under the sign of the two swords, the symbol of Islamic Jihad. It is the word “Prepare,” which he
says actually comes from the Quranic verse:
- “Prepare against them as you are able of force and cavalry to terrorize Allah’s enemy and yours…”
(Al-Anfal:60)
Walid explains that the Muslim Brotherhood was created in 1928, four years after the dismantling of the Ottoman
Empire, and its sole purpose was the resurrection of the Caliphate.

- Terrorism and the Illuminati - A Three Thousand Year History - Nader Library
- Chapter 19 - The Muslim Brotherhood
- Ed. Note: Please be aware that the author is an American convert to Islam according to
Progressive Press. His viewpoint is not always obvious, but he appears to
believe that the Muslim Brotherhood was created by non-Muslims as a means to bring about terrorism and discredit the religion of Islam.
Israeli foreign minister compares Turkey to 1979 Iran
Jan. 6, 2010 - Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman voiced his concern that the Islamist-rooted

- "Unfortunately, recent events in Turkey are reminiscent of Iran before the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah

between both governments and people."
