The muslim brotherhood
Nov 10th, 2008 at 1:19pm
 

A topic raised by Abu, it probably merits its own thread.
A pity I am banned from the islam forum, all this belongs there really.




""Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."—Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, a 22-year-old elementary school teacher, as an Islamic revivalist movement following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent ban of the caliphate system of government that had united the Muslims for hundreds of years. Al-Banna based his ideas that Islam was not only a religious observance, but a comprehensive way of life, on the tenets of Wahhabism, better known today as "Islamism", and he supplemented the traditional Islamic education for the Society's male students with jihadia training.

The Brotherhood grew as a popular movement over the next 20 years, encompassing not only religion and education, but also politics, through the Party of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimoon. It blamed the Egyptian government for being passive against "Zionists" and joined the Palestinian side in the war against Israel; and started performing terrorist acts inside of Egypt, which led to a ban on the movement by the Egyptian government. A Muslim Brother assassinated the Prime Minister of Egypt, Mahmud Fahmi Nokrashi, on December 28, 1948. Al-Banna himself was killed by government agents in Cairo in February, 1949.

The Egyptian government legalized the Brotherhood again in 1948, but only as a religious organization; it was banned again in 1954 because it insisted that Egypt be governed under shari'a (Islamic law).

Abdul Munim Abdul Rauf, a Brotherhood activist, attempted to assassinate Egyptian President Nasser in 1954 and was executed, along with five other Brothers. Four thousand Brothers were also arrested, and thousands more fled to Syria, Saudia Arabia, Jordan, and Lebanon.

In 1964, Nasser granted amnesty to the imprisoned Brothers, hoping that their release would weaken interest in the recently formed Arab Socialist Union party; the result was three more assassination attempts by the Brothers on Nasser’s life. The top leaders of the Brotherhood were executed in 1966, and many others were imprisoned.

Nasser's successor, Anwar-as-Sadat, promised the Brothers that shari'a would be implemented as the Egyptian law and released all of the Brotherhood prisoners; however, the Brothers lost their trust in Sadat when he signed the peace agreement with Israel in 1979; four Brothers assassinated Sadat in September, 1981.

Although officially banned by the Egyptian government since 1954, the Muslim Brothers captured 17 seats in the Egyptian Parliament running as independents; they also hold important offices in professional organizations in Egypt.

Today, a very complex financial network connects the operations of over seventy branches of the Muslim Brothers worldwide. During the Muslim Brothers' seventy-plus years of existence, there have been cycles of growth, followed by divisions into factions, including clandestine financial networks, and violent jihad groups, such as al-Jihad and al-Gama'at al-Islamiyya in Egypt, HAMAS in Palestine and mujahideen groups in Afghanistan.

The MB are not Wahabis this is a load of nonsense.

Quote:
and started performing terrorist acts inside of Egypt


These were proven to have been carried out by Jewish spies for Israel, who were caught when one of them blew himself up trying to bomb a British owned cinema.

The MB does not believe in violence as a means for establishing Islam. They did however fight against the occupation of Palestine, as it was a defensive struggle.

Most of these 'assassination attempts' were mirages used by the dictatorship of Abdul Nasser to justify his imprisonment, torture and murder of MB members. This all goes back to the fact that Abdel Nasser seized power with the aide of the MB, but after he took power he betrayed them, and then feared them as possible rivals because of the betrayal.

Funnily enough, if any Arab dictator used the same trumped up assassination claims against the Christian or other minorities, I think you'd be here claiming how oppressive they were, but because it was Muslims, you're fine about it.

It was carried out by the Islamic Jihad group, not by MB, what a load of garbage.

Hamas is about the only group from those listed which has any remote valid link to the MB and even that is quite weak. They were originally formed out of an MB branch but broke away and formed their own Palestinian nationalist movement, seperated administratively and doctrinally from the MB.

sprint, like most of the Islamophobes here rely on an old saying that "Where there's smoke there's fire". So he knows that if he makes enough nonsensical posts, a lot of forummers will just get confused and be unable to cope with the sensory overload of the sheer quantity of his garbage and think "Well there must be something to it".
