A few months after the Muslim Brotherhood emerged from the shadows of Mubarak‘s rule and rose to the highest positions within Egypt’s government, the United States remains largely divided on the true intentions of the Islamist organization.

Are they reformed and “largely secular” like the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper once said, or are they trying to “[destroy] Western civilization” as many of their documents and speeches explicitly state?
In the latest of many clips showing Muslim Brotherhood leaders openly explaining their plans, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has video of a former Muslim Brotherhood member explaining how the Islamist organization sees Egypt and the rest of the world– and it’s pretty hard to consider it “largely secular.”

Here is part of the transcript, via MEMRI:
Interviewer: You indicated that the Muslim Brotherhood are hijacking the country, not merely the top political posts. Is the Muslim Brotherhood indeed about to hijack the country?
Saadudin Ibrahim: …Their plan is to turn Egypt into an Islamic emirate, which would be the seed of an Islamic caliphate, which would first encompass the Muslim world, and later the world in its entirety.
Of course, in 2012, this sounds like sheer fantasy, but all the major enterprises in history began as an idea. Some of ideas died while still in the cradle, while others developed.
Therefore, we should not underestimate this idea, which is harbored by the Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt.
[Emphasis added]
Watch the entire clip, below:
When asked which group is the most dangerous — Salafis (fundamentalists), jihadists, or the Muslim Brotherhood — Ibrahim responded:
“The Salafis, with their simplistic and naïve ideology, speak their minds. Therefore, we know what they are up to and how to contain it, if it’s dangerous.
“The Brotherhood, on the other hand, is an organization about whose leadership we know very little. We know that there is the General Guide Office, and that they conduct secretive meetings, from which no protocols are issued for public review. Such a political party does not exist in democratic countries. A politburo may have existed in Communist or totalitarian countries, in the Communist or Nazi parties…”
According to Ibrahim, the “concept of a nation” is “absent from the Muslim Brotherhood’s plans.”
“They speak of a comprehensive, religious, Islamic state.”

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:39pmAt lest the Muslim Brotherhood is thinking globally and making plans. The Tea Party needs to think globally to counter such ideas. We are headed for the earth being one country and mankind its citizens. I would want the ideas begun by George Washington and the Founding Fathers, not Islam to be what the world embraces. Sooner or later it is inevitable, and with the way things change these days we need to offer the world a better solution, not just retreat from the world.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:17pmThese places here in America who are spouting this mess should be stopped and those people sent back to the dunes. They have no business in this country causing hate and stirring up people who come to this country for a new life. Those who want to assimilate should help America take this mess of lies and death and get rid of the heads of it, buy allowing authorities to know what is really taking place. Why come to this country if you want a new life and will not invest in what is better for you? Apparently they do not like over there if they are coming here to get away from it and not as stealth terrorists who are spying for the enemy. So why not help America keep the vermin out of this country who are coming here to cause trouble? Surely they are not all here to make trouble, are they?

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:00pmWe are being inundated with MEMRI propaganda today. Why?
MEMRI is the Middle East Media Research Institute. It is a Zionist propaganda organization. Its founders were Col. Yigal Carmon and Meyrav Wurmser.
Carmon was an IDF Intelligence officer and adviser to both Shamir and Rabin, both of whom are proven terrorists that later became leaders of Israel.
Meyrav is an Israeli born fanatical Zionist who married Zionist radical, David Wurmser. Both wrote a strategic study back in 1996 for Netanyahu titled: “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.” Other authors were Richard Perle and Doug Feith, all of who would become high policy officials in the Bush II administration.
These were/are the people who led us to war with manipulated intelligence reports, lies, about Iraq. They were the authors of a plan written for Israel that ended up being carried out by America, with American lives and treasure. Syria and Iran are also part of that study, and they are currently being targeted per that same strategic study for Israel.
You have been, are being, betrayed and you have no idea, because of your religious blinders. Zionists are Nazis and they have nothing to do with the religion Judaism, except for that which it can bring to their cause

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 5:08pmFunny thing about those “Falsified” intelligence reports from Iraq. Up until a few weeks ago it was common knowledge that there were absolutely no WMDs in Iraq. Then, all of the sudden those weapons that didn‘t exist become a very real concern in Syria where apparently Assad made several of Saddam’s nonexistent chemical weapons appear out of the air.
I don’t expect anyone in the media to realize just what the significance of this would be. However, the fact that the things everybody said “didn’t exist” and were used in every conspiracy theory and their dog about the US invasion of Iraq, have suddenly been found to be “A very real concern.” I would call Bull****, but that just doesn’t even begin to cut it.
Sorry to distract from your point. But I respectfully disagree with the notion that the Israeli’s are the “bad guys.” of the Middle East who we should denounce. The Arabs have blindly assaulted the Israeli’s in an attempt to dislodge them by any means necessary. Watching them break their armies apart against the Israeli’s defense line. I personally think that it would be funny to watch the Arabs try, but they changed tactics to complaining to world to intervene on their behalf when they are incapable of winning. If they want the land so much, let them fight for it, if they can‘t defeat the Israeli’s, then that is their problem.
