The beloved brother/The General Masul, may God keep him
The beloved brother/secretary of the Shura Council, may God keep him
The beloved brothers/Members of the Shura Council, may God keep them
God’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. .. . To proceed,
I ask Almighty God that you, your families and those whom you love around you are in the best of conditions, pleasing to God, glorified His name be.
I send this letter of mine to you hoping that it would seize your attention and receive your good care as you are the people of responsibility and those to whom trust is given. Between your hands is an “Explanatory Memorandum” which I put effort in writing down so that it is not locked in the chest and the mind, and so that I can share with you a portion of the responsibility in leading the Group in this country.
What might have encouraged me to submit the memorandum in this time in particular is my feeling of a “glimpse of hope” and the beginning of good tidings which bring the good news that we have embarked on a new stage of Islamic activism stages in this continent.
The papers which are between your hands are not abundant extravagance, imaginations or hallucinations which passed in the mind of one of your brothers, but they are rather hopes, ambitions and challenges that I hope that you share some or most of which with me. I do not claim their infallibility or absolute correctness, but they are an attempt which requires study, outlook, detailing and rooting from you.
My request to my brothers is to read the memorandum and to write what they wanted of comments and corrections, keeping in mind that what is between your hands is not strange or a new submission without a root, but rather an attempt to interpret and explain some of what came in the long-term plan which we approved and adopted in our council and our conference in the year (1987).
So, my honorable brother, do not rush to throw these papers away due to your many occupations and worries, All what I’m asking of you is to read them and to comment on them hoping that we might continue together the project of our plan and our Islamic work in this part of the world.
Should you do that, I would be thankful and grateful to you.
I also ask my honorable brother, the Secretary of the Council, to add the subject of the memorandum on the Council agenda in its coming meeting.
May God reward you good and keep you for His Daw’a
Your brother/Moharned Akram

Subject: A project for an explanatory memorandum for the General Strategic goal
for the Group in North America mentioned in the long-term plan
One: The Memorandum is derived from:
1 – The general strategic goal of the Group in America which was approved by the Shura Council and the Organizational Conference for the year [I987] is “Enablement of Islam in North America, meaning: establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims’ causes domestically and globally, and which works to expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts, presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is”.
2- The priority that is approved by the Shura Council for the work of the Group in its current and former session which is “Settlement”.
3- The positive development with the brothers in the Islamic Circle in an attempt to reach a unity of merger.
4- The constant need for thinking and future planning, an attempt to read it and working to “shape” the present to comply and suit the needs and challenges of the future.
5– The paper of his eminence, the General Masul, may God keep him, which he recently sent to the members of the Council.
Two: An Introduction to the Explanatory Memorandum:
– In order to begin with the explanation, we must “summon” the following question and place it in front of our eyes as its relationship is important and necessary with the strategic goal and the explanation project we are embarking on. The question we are facing is: “How do you like to see the Islam Movement in North America in ten years?”, or “taking along” the following sentence when planning and working, “Islamic Work in North America in the year (2000): A Strategic Vision”.
Also, we must summon and take along “elements” of the general strategic goal of the Group in North America and I will intentionally repeat them in numbers. They are:
[l- Establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
2- Adopting Muslims’ causes domestically and globally.
3– Expanding the observant Muslim base.
4- Unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000416
5- Presenting Islam as a civilization alternative
6– Supporting the establishment of the global Islamic State wherever it is].
– It must be stressed that it has become clear and emphatically known that all is in agreement that we must “settle” or “enable” Islam and its Movement in this part of the world.
– Therefore, a joint understanding of the meaning of settlement or enablement must be adopted, through which and on whose basis we explain the general strategic goal with its six elements for the Group in North America.
Three: The Concept of Settlement:
This term was mentioned in the Group’s “dictionary” and documents with various meanings in spite of the fact that everyone meant one thing with it. We believe that the understanding of the essence is the same and we will attempt here to give the word and its “meanings” a practical explanation with a practical Movement tone, and not a philosophical linguistic explanation, while stressing that this explanation of ours is not complete until our explanation of “the process” of settlement itself is understood which is mentioned in the following paragraph. We briefly say the following:
Settlement: “That Islam and its Movement become a part of the homeland it lives in”.
Establishment: “That Islam turns into firmly-rooted organizations on whose bases civilization, structure and testimony are built”.
Stability: “That Islam is stable in the land on which its people move”.
Enablement: “That Islam is enabled within the souls, minds and the lives of the people of the country in which it moves”.
Rooting: “That Islam is resident and not a passing thing, or rooted “entrenched” in the soil of the spot where it moves and not a strange plant to it”.
Four: The Process of Settlement:
– In order for Islam and its Movement to become “a part of the homeland” in which it lives, “stable” in its land, “rooted” in the spirits and minds of its people, “enabled” in the live of its society and has firmly-established “organizations” on which the Islamic structure is built and with which the testimony of civilization is achieved, the Movement must plan and struggle to obtain “the keys” and the tools of this process in carry out this grand mission as a “Civilization Jihadist” responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and – on top of them – the Muslim Brotherhood in this country. Among these keys and tools are the following:
1- Adopting the concept of settlement and understanding its practical meanings:
The Explanatory Memorandum focused on the Movement and the realistic dimension of the process of settlement and its practical meanings without paying attention to the difference in understanding between the resident and the non-resident, or who is the settled and the non-settled
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000417
and we believe that what was mentioned in the long-term plan in that regards suffices.
2- Making a fundamental shift in our thinking and mentality in order to suit the challenges of the settlement mission.
What is meant with the shift – which is a positive expression – is responding to the grand challenges of the settlement issues. We believe that any transforming response begins with the method of thinking and its center, the brain, first. In order to clarify what is meant with the shift as a key to qualify us to enter the field of settlement, we say very briefly that the following must be accomplished:
– A shift from the partial thinking mentality to the comprehensive thinking mentality,
– A shift fiom the “amputated” partial thinking mentality to the “continuous” comprehensive mentality.
– A shift from the mentality of caution and reservation to the mentality of risk and controlled liberation.
– A shift from the mentality of the elite Movement to the mentality of the popular Movement.
– A shift fiom the mentality of preaching and guidance to the mentality of building and testimony
– A shift from the single opinion mentality to the multiple opinion mentality.
– A shift from the collision mentality to the absorption mentality.
– A shift from the individual mentality to the team mentality.
– A shift from the anticipation mentality to the initiative mentality.
– A shift from the hesitation mentality to the decisiveness mentality.
– A shift from the principles mentality to the programs mentality.
– A shift from the abstract ideas mentality the true organizations mentality [This is the core point and the essence of the memoiandum].
3- Understanding the historical stages in which the Islamic Ikhwani [militia of brothers] activism went through in this country:
The writer of the memorandum believes that understanding and comprehending the historical stages of the Islamic activism which was led and being led by the Muslim Brotherhood in this continent is a very important key in working towards settlement, through which the Group observes its march, the direction of its movement and the curves and turns of its road. We will suffice here with mentioning the title for each of these stages [The title expresses the prevalent characteristic of the stage] [Details maybe mentioned in another future study]. Most likely, the stages are:
A- The stage of searching for self and determining the identity.
B- The stage of inner build-up and tightening the organization.
C- The stage of mosques and the Islamic centers.
D- The stage of building the Islamic organizations – the first phase.
E- The stage of building the Islamic schools – the first phase.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000418
F- The stage of thinking about the overt Islamic Movement – the first phase.
G- The stage of openness to the other Islamic movements and attempting to reach a formula for dealing with them – the first phase.
H- The stage of reviving and establishing the Islamic organizations – the second phase. We believe that the Group is embarking on this stage in its second phase as it has to open the door and enter as it did the first time.
4- Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen [Islamic guerilla fighters] be equal.
5- Understanding that we cannot perform the settlement mission by ourselves or away from people:
A mission as significant and as huge as the settlement mission needs magnificent and exhausting efforts. With their capabilities, human, financial and scientific resources, the Ikhwan will not be able to carry out this mission alone or away from people and he who believes that is wrong, and God knows best. As for the role of the Ikhwan, it is the initiative, pioneering, leadership, raising the banner and pushing people in that direction. They are then to work to employ, direct and unify Muslims’ efforts and powers for this process. In order to do that, we must possess a mastery of the art of “coalitions”, the art of “absorption” and the principles of “cooperation”.
6- The necessity of achieving a union and balanced gradual merger between private work and public work:
We believe that what was written about this subject is many and is enough. But, it needs a time and a practical frame so that what is needed is achieved in a gradual and a balanced way that is compatible with the process of settlement.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000418 (Cont’d)
7- The conviction that the success of the settlement of Islam and its Movement in this country is a success to the global Islamic Movement and a true support for the sought-after state, God willing:
There is a conviction – with which this memorandum disagrees – that our focus in attempting to settle Islam in this country will lead to negligence in our duty towards the global Islamic Movement in supporting its project to establish the state. We believe that the reply is in two segments: One – The success of the Movement in America in establishing an observant Islamic base with power and effectiveness will be the best support and aid to the global Movement project.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000419
And the second – is the global Movement has not succeeded yet in “distributing roles” to its branches, stating what is the needed from them as one of the participants or contributors to the project to establish the global Islamic state. The day this happens, the children of the American Ikhwani branch will have far-reaching impact and positions that make the ancestors proud.
8- Absorbing Muslims and winning them with all of their factions and colors in America and Canada for the settlement project, and making it their cause, future and the basis of their Islamic life in this part of the world:
This issues requires from us to learn “the art of dealing with the others”, as people are different and people in many colors. We need to adopt the principle which says, “Take from people … the best they have”, their best specializations, experiences, arts, energies and abilities. By people here we mean those within or without the ranks of individuals and organizations. The policy of “taking” should be with what achieves the strategic goal and the settlement process. But the big challenge in front of us is: how to connect them all in “the orbit” of our plan and “the circle” of our Movement in order to achieve “the core” of our interest. To me, there is no choice for us other than alliance and mutual understanding of those who desire from our religion and those who agree from ow belief in work. And the U.S. Islamic arena is full of those waiting …., the pioneers.
What matters is bringing people to the level of comprehension of the challenge that is facing us as Muslims in this country, conviction of our settlement project, and understanding the benefit of agreement, cooperation and alliance. At that time, if we ask for money, a lot of it would come, and if we ask for men, they would come in lines, What matters is that ow plan is “the criterion and the balance” in our relationship with others.
Here, two points must be noted; the first one: we need to comprehend and understand the balance of the Islamic powers in the U.S. arena [and this might be the subject of a future study]. The second point: what we reached with the brothers in “ICNA” is considered a step in the right direction, the beginning of good and the first drop that requires growing and guidance.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000419 (Cont’d)
9- Re-examining our organizational and administrative bodies, the type of leadership and the method of selecting it with what suits the challenges of the settlement mission:
The memorandum will be silent about details regarding this item even though it is logical and there is a lot to be said about it,
10- Growing and developing our resources and capabilities, our financial and human resources with what suits the magnitude of the grand mission:
If we examined the human and the financial resources the Ikhwan alone own in this country, we and others would feel proud and glorious. And if we add to them the resources of our friends and allies, those who circle in our orbit and those waiting on our banner, we would realize that we are able to open the door to settlement and walk through it seeking to make Almighty God’s word the highest.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000420
11– Utilizing the scientific method in planning, thinking and preparation of studies needed for the process of settlement:
Yes, we need this method, and we need many studies which aid in this civilization Jihadist
operation. We will mention some of them briefly:
– The history of the Islamic presence in America.
– The history of the Islamic Ikhwani presence in America.
– Islamic movements, organizations and organizations: analysis and criticism.
– The phenomenon of the Islamic centers and schools: challenges, needs and statistics.
– Islamic minorities.
– Muslim and Arab communities.
– The U.S. society: make-up and politics.
– The U.S. society’s view of Islam and Muslims … And many other studies which we can direct our brothers and allies to prepare, either through their academic studies or through their educational centers or organizational tasking. What is important is that we start.
12- Agreeing on a flexible, balanced and a clear “mechanism” to implement the process of settlement within a specific, gradual and balanced “time frame” that is in-line with the demands and challenges of the process of settlement.
13- Understanding the U.S. society from its different aspects an understanding that “qualifies” us to perform the mission of settling our Dawa’ [to proselytize or preach Islam] in its country “and growing it” on its land.
14- Adopting a written “jurisprudence” that includes legal and movement bases, principles, policies and interpretations which are suitable for the needs and challenges of the process of settlement.
15- Agreeing on “criteria” and balances to be a sort of “antennas” or “the watch tower” in order to make sure that all of our priorities, plans, programs, bodies, leadership, monies and activities march towards the process of the settlement.
16- Adopting a practical, flexible formula through which our central work complements our domestic work.
[Items 12 through 16 will be detailed later].
17- Understanding the role and the nature of work of “The Islamic Center” in every city with what achieves the goal of the process of settlement:
The center we seek is the one which constitutes the “axis” of our Movement, the “perimeter” of the circle of our work, our “balance center”, the “base” for our rise and our “Dar al-Arqam” to educate us, prepare us and supply our battalions in addition to being the “niche” of our prayers.
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000421
This is in order for the Islamic center to turn – in action not in words – into a seed “for a small Islamic society” which is a reflection and a mirror to our central organizations. The center ought to turn into a “beehive” which produces sweet honey. Thus, the Islamic center would turn into a place for study, family, battalion, course, seminar, visit, sport, school, social club, women gathering, kindergarten for male and female youngsters, the office of the domestic political resolution, and the center for distributing our newspapers, magazines, books and our audio and visual tapes.
In brief we say: we would like for the Islamic center to become “The House of Dawa”‘ and “the general center” in deeds first before name. As much as we own and direct these centers at the continent level, we can say we are marching successfully towards the settlement of Dawa’ in this country.
Meaning that the “center’s” role should be the same as the “mosque’s” role during the time of God’s prophet, God’s prayers and peace be upon him, when he marched to “settle” the Dawa’ in its first generation in Madina. from the mosque, he drew the Islamic life and provided to the world the most magnificent and fabulous civilization humanity knew.
This mandates that, eventually, the region, the branch and the Usra [Islamic families] turn into “operations rooms” for planning, direction, monitoring and leadership for the Islamic center in order to be a role model to be followed.
18- Adopting a system that is based on “selecting” workers, “role distribution” and “assigning” positions and responsibilities is based on specialization, desire and need with what achieves the process of settlement and contributes to its success.
19- Turning the principle of dedication for the Masuls of main positions within the Group into a rule, a basis and a policy in work. Without it, the process of settlement might be stalled [Talking about this point requires more details and discussion].
20- Understanding the importance of the “Organizational” shift in our Movement work, and doing Jihad in order to achieve it in the real world with what serves the process of settlement and expedites its results, God Almighty’s willing:
The reason this paragraph was delayed is to stress its utmost importance as it constitutes the heart and the core of this memorandum. It also constitutes the practical aspect and the true measure of our success or failure in our march towards settlement. The talk about the organizations and the “organizational” mentality or phenomenon does not require much details. It suffices to say that the first pioneer of this phenomenon was our prophet Mohamed, God’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon him, as he placed the foundation for the first civilized organization which is the mosque, which truly became “the comprehensive organization”. And this was done by the pioneer of the contemporary Islamic Dawa’, Imam martyr Hasan al-Banna, may God have mercy on him, when he and his brothers felt the need to “re-establish” Islam and its movement anew, leading him to establish organizations with all their kinds: economic, social, media, scouting,
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000421 (Cont’d)
professional and even the military ones. We must say that we are in a country which understands no language other than the language of the organizations, and one which does not respect or give weight to any group without effective, functional and strong organizations.
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000422
It is good fortune that there are brothers among us who have this “trend”, mentality or inclination to build the organizations who have beat us by action and words which leads us to dare say honestly what Sadat in Egypt once said, “We want to build a country of organizations” – a word of right he meant wrong with. I say to my brothers, let us raise the banner of truth to establish right “We want to establish the Group of organizations”, as without it we will not able to put our feet on the true path.
– And in order for the process of settlement to be completed, we must plan and work from now to equip and prepare ourselves, our brothers, our apparatuses, our sections and our committees in order to turn into comprehensive organizations in a gradual and balanced way that is suitable with the need and the reality. What encourages us to do that – in addition to the aforementioned – is that we possess “seeds” for each organization from the organization we call for [See attachment number (I)].
– All we need is to tweak them, coordinate their work, collect their elements and merge their efforts with others and then connect them with the comprehensive plan we seek.
For instance,
We have a seed for a “comprehensive media and art” organization: we own a print + advanced typesetting machine + audio and visual center + art production office + magazines in Arabic and English [The Horizons, The Hope, The Politicians, Ila Falastine, Press Clips, al-Zaytouna, Palestine Monitor, Social Sciences Magazines.,.] + art band + photographers + producers + programs anchors + journalists + in addition to other media and art experiences”.
Another example:
We have a seed for a “comprehensive Dawa’ educational” organization: We have the Daw’a section in ISNA + Dr. Jamal Badawi Foundation + the center run by brother Harned al-Ghazali + the Dawa’ center the Dawa’ Committee and brother Shaker al-Sayyed are seeking to establish now + in addition to other Daw’a efforts here and there…”.
And this applies to all the organizations we call on establishing.
– The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or “scattered” elements into comprehensive, stable, “settled” organizations that are connected with our Movement and which fly in our orbit and take orders from ow guidance. This does not prevent – but calls for – each central organization to have its local branches but its connection with the Islamic center in the city is a must.
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000422 (Cont’d)
– What is needed is to seek to prepare the atmosphere and the means to achieve “the merger” so that the sections, the committees, the regions, the branches and the Usras are eventually the heart and the core of these organizations.
Or, for the shift and the change to occur as follows:

– We would then seek and struggle in order to make each one of these above-mentioned organizations a “comprehensive organization” throughout the days and the years, and as long as we are destined to be in this country. What is important is that we put the foundation and we will be followed by peoples and generations that would finish the march and the road but with a clearly-defined guidance.

“In today’s ever charged torrent of religious and political unrest, it is becoming increasingly vital for the people of the world to understand the truth of both the religious and the geopolitical nature of Islam. The heart, purpose and vision of the Islamic system governed by a complete way of life known as Shari’ah is dangerously misunderstood and highly underestimated by the West. It has been that way for 1400 years, numbing the minds of people like a shot of Novocain before treating an abscessed tooth. This compendium, ‘Understanding Islam in the Light of Christianity’ by Dr. James Gauss, is a vital and valuable resource that will be called upon again and again. If you are a pastor, spiritual leader, governmental leader, business leader or simply a curious person with a sincere desire to understand the heart of both Islam and Christianity, get this book.”

A direct and thorough comparison of the Messenger, Message and Mission of the Qur’an and the Bible. Over 550 pages of essential information for every college prep and college student.
Your book is the finest and most thorough analysis I have ever seen of the teachings of the Quran in comparison to the Bible. It is a treasure trove of biblical truth, theological insight, and practical application.
My granddaughter is using it in her Global Studies class on Islam this very semester. I think a college-level text book version would be very helpful.

About the Author.
James F. Gauss
Every great team and military has a game plan—a strategy for success and victory. In today’s world of jihadists, Islamic leaders have a very definitive game plan. It is a plan that has existed since the inception of Islam as a political ideology over fourteen centuries ago. It is rather simple and direct—world domination at any cost. Unfortunately, the West and America have no game plan of defense or counter attack other than to acquiesce and to facilitate.
Western civilization is experiencing the greatest unabashed assault against its freedom and way of life that it has ever known. At the same time, it is this love of freedom that is giving the enemies of the West, and particularly of the United States, unlimited opportunities to denigrate the peoples of the West, Christians and Jews in particular, in a politically correct, multi-cultural, cultural diversity mixture of deception. While the European Union countries are floundering under a demographic Muslim assault, Canada and the United States are not far behind.
As Muslim populations grow in the West, the native citizens of Western countries continues to shrink. With the two-edge sword of abortion and low birth rate in the West, Muslims have a decided natural advantage. Despite the incessant cries of “Islamophobia” from Muslims in the West, it is the Muslim community that is often the perpetrators of verbal and physical attacks against non-Muslims.
By driving out the natives of Muslim lands, the Islamic State and other Islamic terrorists have created a migration crisis in Europe that has brought much stress and threat of harm to the residents of the European Union and North America. With this influx of Muslims has come a dramatic rise in anti-Semitism and other challenges throughout much of Europe, Canada and America. Instead of addressing these issues head-on, far too many Western politicians and law enforcement appear to be content with putting their citizens at risk rather than confront the problem.
Muslims mean business—not just “radical” Muslims, but all those who follow the faith of Muhammad. The West, its governing bodies, news media, educational institutions and security forces appear to be oblivious to the threat that is mounting. A threat that will change the way Westerners experience the world and life around them. Time is short and without wisdom and understanding a nation perishes.
Islam is making inroads into the traditionally non-Muslim world, and is beginning to run deep roots and vie with the laws and cultures of its hosts. Muslims are taking advantage of the freedom that democracies offer. This is the key point for abusing the host country. They use the same provisions of the law that are intended to protect and enhance liberty in order to subvert democracy and freedom. Currently, America is faced with a formidable enemy in a Trojan Horse called Islam (Amil Imani, October 3, 2018).
While the West snores away or offers a helping hand of Christian generosity, “The Islamic Game Plan” has become fully entrenched in Europe and North America.
Gain the Upper Hand Through Fertility. As noted at the beginning of this chapter, the birth rate in the majority of Muslim countries and among Muslims in foreign lands exceeds the replacement birth rate of most Western countries. This is not likely to change soon, but the divergence will only get worse according to current trends.
Annihilate Israel. Ever since Israel re-occupied part of its original land in 1948, the Arab Muslims and Muslims worldwide have striven to force Israel out of their homeland. As you discovered in Chapter 3, that push will continue. The majority of Muslims refuse to accept the presence of Israel in the Middle East and particularly in what is referred to as the Holy Land of Canaan.
In addition, the BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) movement, which was founded in 2007 by Palestinian Omar Barghouti, is gaining momentum among anti-Semites in Europe and North America. The goal is to cripple Israel economically, forcing Jews out of the Middle East.
Dominate Europe. The 2015-2016 “invasion” of Europe by mostly Muslim refugees from war-torn Iraq and Syria, as well as from Islamic northern Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere, while not well orchestrated, was driven by the terror of the Islamic State and other Muslim terrorist groups. Despite its disorganized nature and loss of innocent life on the journey, it served the purpose of the jihadis—to get their fighters into Europe amidst the chaos.
On February 20, 2019, a report was released by the Israeli Directorate of Military Intelligence (abbreviated, Aman, in Hebrew). It estimated, that despite the overwhelming defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, that there were 150,000-200,000 ISIS members deployed worldwide.
Dr. Reuven Erlich, the Head of the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center in Israel was quoted in the release as saying, “ISIS is preparing to deploy in the Euphrates . . . Then, its members will head to Germany, the U.S., France, and other European countries and Caucuses.”
In the same report, it was revealed that a large number of Islamic State fighters had departed Syria for Iraq in the last six months with a booty of $200 million.
On July 30, 2018, the Voice of Europe reported on a MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) translation of a sermon by a Danish imam, Mundhir Abdallah, given in the Masjid Al-Faruq mosque in Copenhagen, Denmark.
“Jihad necessitates the Muslim invasion and conquest of Europe,” Abdallah asserted, “the final solution to the problem of the Levant—after the establishment of the Caliphate and the elimination of the Jewish entity—will be through the conquest of Europe.”
The Jews “are hastening their own annihilation by their rampaging, their filth, and their vileness, which reflect the immutable nature of the Jews.” The Imam added that he is “not a racist” but that this “has to do with the Jewish character and psyche, with that sick Jewish mentality.”
Invade & Infiltrate America via Civilizational Jihad. Thanks to the complicity and compliance of previous U.S. presidents (and one might go back as far as Carter), key Muslim operatives have successfully infiltrated America’s politics, educational systems, military, law enforcement, legal system and much more. While most Muslims seek to be law abiding citizens, looking to provide for their families, there are nefarious members who are seeking the long term objective of America’s demise and overthrow. In the majority of situations they are being aided, willingly and ignorantly by millions of America’s dhimmi (non-Muslim) citizens. Most effectively by America’s primary and secondary schools, politicians and America’s churches and synagogues.
Suppress Dissent; Declare Opposition as Islamophobic. Not a day goes by where a non-Muslim who voices an opinion about Islam—no matter how factual—is not accused of being a hater, a racist or an Islamophobe (anti-Muslim). It is the newest game plan by the Muslim community and their non-Muslim sympathizers. The attempt is to shut down any criticism or meaningful dialogue about Islam. Islamic leaders throughout the United States have successfully been able to get politicians, law enforcement, educators, policy makers, and many from local communities, and the federal government, to buy into this false narrative hook, line and sinker. In some communities and states, CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, has been successful in getting “Islamophobia” criminalized and well on their way to getting some political dhimmis to consider blasphemy laws.
Institute Shari’a. The final step is to ever so slyly, but effectively, get the dhimmis to allow Muslims to have their separate privileges and laws to govern themselves within the larger society, creating a Muslim community that is separate and unanswerable to the larger community of U.S. citizens. While countless Americans declared this will never happen in America, the truth is it is already occurring in various locals.
The Muslim jihadists in America have at least a three-four decade jump on Americans who have “fallen asleep at the switch.” With the rise of socialist dimwits in America due to America’s deplorable, socialistic indoctrination of our youth, it could be too late to turn the tide. The solution is complicated and would require an incredible spiritual awakening in America. The question is: Do Americans want that type of change bad enough to pay the price?
View or order Understanding Islam in the Light of Christianity here.
Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration.
Motto of the Muslim Brotherhood
Birth of the Muslim Brotherhood. In An Explanatory Memorandum, the Muslim Brotherhood laid out a very strategic plan of action to overtake America.
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim brothers] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen [Islamic guerilla fighters] be equal (An Explanatory Memorandum, On the Strategic Goal for the Group in North America, 5/22/1991).
In 1928, a young Egyptian school teacher and imam, Sheikh Hassan Ahmed Abdel Rahman Muhammed al-Banna, better known as Hassan al-Banna (1906-1949), was encouraged by a few of his acolytes to form the Society of the Muslim Brothers (al-Ikhwān al-Muslimūn) or the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). Al-Banna and his followers had become increasingly frustrated with the waning influence of Islam worldwide and wanted to once again see the establishment of Islamic world dominance. He was further infuriated by the ongoing foreign economic and military presence in Egypt. By the beginning of World War II, the MB had already grown substantially within Egypt. Al-Banna and the MB movement were and are greatly influenced by the fundamentalist Sufi form of Islam centered in Egypt. He was assassinated by Egyptian secret police in 1949.
Right from the onset, the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood was an Islamic global military-type of jihad, infiltrating every aspect of non-Muslim societies.
In 1964, another Egyptian Islamist and leading MB leader, Syed Qutb Shaheed (1906-1966), published his thoughts and strategies on Islamic domination worldwide in Milestones.
In his Introduction Qutb begins:
Mankind today is on the brink of a precipice, not because of the danger of complete annihilation which is hanging over its head—this being just a symptom and not the real disease—but because humanity is devoid of those vital values which are necessary not only for its healthy development but also for its real progress. Even the Western world realises [sic] that Western civilization is unable to present any healthy values for the guidance of mankind. It knows that it does not possess anything which will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence.
Democracy in the West has become infertile to such an extent that it is borrowing from the systems of the Eastern bloc, especially in the economic system, under the name of socialism.
Although this introduction brings forth an element of truth about the conditions in the West in the 1960s as well as today, it is Qutb’s solutions later presented that should raise concerns for the West and the non-Islamic world.
In his first chapter, Qutb presents his case for the changing of the guard.
It is necessary for the new leadership to preserve and develop the material fruits of the creative genius of Europe, and also to provide mankind with such high ideals and values as have so far remained undiscovered by mankind, and which will also acquaint humanity with a way of life which is harmonious with human nature, which is positive and constructive, and which is practicable.
Islam is the only system which possesses these values and this way of life.
In light of what has been happening throughout Europe in the last decade-plus due to accelerated Muslim immigration, it is difficult to see Islam as the source of mankind’s high ideals and values or that it presents a way of life which is harmonious with human nature. With the huge influx of millions of Muslims into European Union countries in the past decade, the primary benefits Europe has experienced are increased incidents of Islamic terrorism and a skyrocketing increase in sexual assaults on women.
Islam knows [recognizes] only two kinds of societies, Qutb wrote, the Islamic and the jahili [pre-Islamic Arabian].
Only Islam has the distinction of basing the fundamental binding relationship in its society on belief; and on the basis of this belief, black and white and red and yellow, Arabs and Greeks, Persians and Africans, and all nations which inhabit the earth become one community.
So, how did Qutb suggest creating this utopian society of fundamental binding relationship into one community? As a devout Muslim, for Qutb, the solution was simple.
No political system or material power should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. It should leave every individual free to accept or reject it and if someone wants to accept it [Islam], it should not prevent him or fight against him. If someone does this, then it is the duty of Islam to fight him until either he is killed or until he declares his submission.
This sounds like the proverbial my way or the highway axiom. To create this great open Islamic society, Qutb recommends forcing everyone to be a part of it or die. Yet, It should leave every individual free to accept or reject it . . .
In the United States, the Muslim Brotherhood organization is well on its way to accomplishing their goal, thanks to the complicity of American officials and others. The Gatestone Institute, in April, 2013 put together a 19-page summary on the Muslim Brotherhood and just how well they have implemented their plan (see https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3672/muslim-brotherhood-us-government).
Key Muslim Brotherhood organizations that are well established in America include: Benevolence International Fund, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim American Society (MAS), Muslim World League, Muslim Youth of North America, North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), The Fiqh [shari’a jurisprudence] Council of North America, and The Muslim Student Association (MSA).
CAIR and the MSA are the most vociferous and belligerent representations. CAIR is a powerful, intimidating arm of the Muslim Brotherhood that has very effectively pushed its way into just about every aspect of American life. Headquartered in Washington, DC, it has at least 26 state offices around the country, including Alabama, Arizona, California (3 locations), Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio (3 locations), Oklahoma, Pennsylvania (2 locations), Texas (3 locations) and Washington. Essentially, CAIR aggressively intimidates and forces local and state governments, schools, businesses and the general public to comply with the Islamic view of life or be sued for discrimination under a variety of America’s civil rights laws.
All Muslims are above the law and above all non-Muslims who have no rights in affairs with Muslims.
Mustafa Carroll, CAIR Director, Texas
The hundreds of Muslim Student Association chapters on America’s college and university campuses are fertile recruiting grounds for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Muslims Running for Office in Record Numbers. In the 2018 mid-term election cycle, a record number—90—Muslims ran for state or federal offices in America. That was a substantial increase over the dozen or so that ran in 2016. The majority of the Muslim candidates belong to the Democratic Party. House representative, Andre Carson (D-IN), a Muslim, could hardly contain his excitement with the election of fellow Muslims, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). “In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress,” Carson proclaimed.
“Then we’re talking about Madame Chair Rashida. We’re talking about Madame Chair Ilhan,” he added. “Hell, we could be saying Speaker of the House Ilhan, Speaker of the House Rashida, Senator Rashida, Governor Ilhan, President Fatima, Vice President Aziza.”
If those proclamations do not terrify you, how about this: Imraan Siddiqi, a member of CAIR-Arizona Board of Directors, would like to see 5,000 Muslims in America running for various state and federal offices in 2020. The vast majority will run as Democrats. On local levels, more and more Muslims are being elected to school boards, city councils, as county commissioners and other governing bodies in the United States. They are effectively accomplishing this with representing only 1-2 percent of the country’s population. What will they achieve with a 5-percent or 10-percent demographic in the near future?
New Muslim representatives, Omar and Tlaib, did not disappoint Carson and other democrats, as they quickly gained the reputation as the Democrats’ new firebrands, spouting forth one anti-Semitic, anti-Christian or anti-Trump remark after another. In their first term in office, hardly a day went by without some offensive, anti-American or anti-Jew or anti-Christian statement.
Shortly after her swearing in as Michigan’s new congresswoman, Rep. Tlaib was quick to offend sensitive ears with her expletive laced tirade on, “We’re gonna impeach the mother****r” [President Trump]. Not very professional; not very American, but it did get cheers and hoots from her Democratic faithful. Tlaib is a vociferous Palestinian-American born in Detroit. She is university educated and an attorney, so, for some, it was a shock to hear such gutter language from an elected lawmaker.
Rep. Omar, a Somali refugee, who immigrated to the U.S. and Minnesota at a young age, made even more noise with offensive, often anti-Semitic, anti-American or anti-Christian tweets or statements, in her first term in office. She has shown little respect or decorum in her daily duties as the newly elected first Somali in the U.S. Congress. She once tweeted (in 2012) that, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel.”
Muslims in political office are heavily influenced and controlled by CAIR, the leading Muslim Brotherhood organization in America. They and the MB have one primary goal and that is to further infiltrate and control the government of the United States (both state and federal), “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.
