What is the Muslim Brotherhood and who Deals With Them?

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               


In an executive order yesterday, President Trump set the groundwork for the designation of chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations, which would prohibit American from doing business with them and allow their assets in the U.S. to be frozen.

Which brings us to the question;  What is the Muslim Brotherhood all about?  I know one thing;  It's not good for the Jews.  Even Egypt has not allowed them in their country.  

The Society of the Muslim Brothers Muslim Brotherhood , is a transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt by Islamic scholarImam and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna in 1928. Al-Banna's teachings spread far beyond Egypt, influencing various Islamist movements from charitable organizations to political parties.  

As its influence grew, it opposed British rule in Egypt starting in 1936. al-Banna had been in contact with Amin al-Husseini (Sherif of Jerusalem-horrid rouser against Jews) since 1927. 

A central concern for the early Muslim Brotherhood was its pro-Arab activism for the Arab-Zionist conflict in Palestine, which in 1936–1939 (dates connecting with rise of Nazis, WWII) culminated in the great Arab revolt. While absent before the outbreak of the revolt, the Brotherhood now began to make use of aggressive anti-Jewish rhetorics which also targeted the Jewish community in Egypt. The official weekly of the Brotherhood, al-Nadhir, published a series of articles titled "The Danger of Jews", warning of alleged Jewish plots against Islam like Freemasonry or Marxism.

 In 1938 al-Nadhir demanded from Egypt's Jews to either adopt an openly anti-Zionist stance or to face "hostility". It also criticized the prominent role of Jews in Egypt's society and their prominence in journalism, commercial spheres and the entertainment industryal-Nadhir even called for a boycott and their expulsion, "for they have corrupted Egypt and its population."

 In another instance the Jews were referred to as a "societal cancer". 

The Brotherhood eventually distributed a list of Jewish business owners and called for their boycott, claiming that they supported the Zionists. Such conflations of Jews and Zionists were common.

                          Hitler with Amin al-Husseini:  Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, met with Adolf Hitler on November 28, 1941, in Berlin, Germany. The meeting took place in the Reich Chancellery and lasted for approximately 75 minutes. During the meeting, al-Husseini expressed that Arabs were Germany's natural friends because they shared common enemies: the British, the Jews, and the Communists. He sought Germany's support for Arab independence and for the "removal" or "annihilation" of a proposed Jewish national homeland in Palestine. 

In the years preceding World War II the Muslim Brothers grew connections with Nazi Germany, maintained via the Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro in Cairo and Amin al-Husseini,(worst anti-Semite of all)  who himself received funds from the Abwehr.Al-Husayni spoke often of a "worldwide Jewish conspiracy" that controlled the British and US governments and sponsored Soviet Communism. He argued that "world Jewry" aimed to infiltrate and subjugate Palestine, a sacred religious and cultural center of the Arab and Muslim world, as a staging ground for the seizure of all Arab lands.

 Being interested in strengthening a militant anti-British organization, Germany may have funded the Brotherhood as early as 1934. One later British source claimed that in 1936 alone, Germany transferred over £5.000. al-Banna and other members of the Brotherhood voiced admiration for aspects of Nazi ideology, including its militarism and its centralization revolving around a charismatic leader, but opposed others like its racial policies and ethnic nationalism. 

The outbreak of the war ended the relationship between Germany and the Muslim Brothers. al-Banna denied that he had ever received German funding. Italian funding of the Brotherhood is unlikely, as the latter vehemently opposed the Italian occupation of Libya.                           

        President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi:  Sisi led the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état, overthrowing Morsi on 3 July 2013. 

Demonstrations and sit-ins organized by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian democracy followed. 

Morsi was first elected to parliament in 2000. He served as a Member of Parliament from 2000 to 2005, officially as an independent candidate because the Brotherhood was technically barred from running candidates for office under President Hosni Mubarak. He was a member of the Guidance Office of the Muslim Brotherhood until the founding of the Freedom and Justice Party in 2011, at which point he was elected by the MB's Guidance Office to be the first president of the new party.

 While serving in this capacity in 2010, Morsi stated of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict that "the two-state solution is nothing but a delusion concocted by the brutal usurper of the Palestinian lands."  I guess that's us, the Jews-the brutal usurpers.  

The heads of state in Egypt who have been in opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood are Gamal Abdel NasserAnwar al-SadatHosni Mubarak, and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. All four have engaged in periods of repression, with el-Sisi outlawing the organization and leading a significant crackdown after his 2013 coup.                                    

   Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Mayor position against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.  Cuomo, we've heard of.  Before his mayoral bid, Andrew Cuomo was the Governor of New York. He resigned in 2021.  

  • "Holy Land Five" Controversy: A 2025 New York Post article highlighted a 2017 rap song by Mamdani where he praised the directors of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), a now-defunct charity that U.S. authorities in a 2008 trial found had funneled over $12 million to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Mamdani's lawyers stated that at the time of the song, the HLF leaders had not yet been convicted.
  • As far as that goes, in Support from Muslim Groups: Mamdani's campaign was supported by several Muslim advocacy and civil rights groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Critics of Mamdani have alleged that CAIR or its associated PACs have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a claim that CAIR leaders have denied.
  • In fact;  
  • Mamdani's Stance and Identity: Mamdani identifies as a Twelver Shia Muslim and a democratic socialist. Political analysts have pointed out that his progressive political platform—which includes support for LGBTQIA+ rights, universal childcare, and police reform—is in many ways inconsistent with the traditional conservative ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.
  • Does Muslim Brotherhood favor Shi'i or Sunni or both Muslim paths?
  • The Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni Islamist group, and Shi'i Islamists have a complex relationship marked by both historical ideological influence and present-day political tension. Some Shia Islamists, like Iran's leadership, were influenced by Muslim Brotherhood thinkers such as Sayyid Qutb and could potentially form alliances based on shared opposition to the U.S.. However, their relationship is also strained by sectarian differences and political competition, particularly between Iran and Sunni-dominated states, and the Brotherhood's historically anti-Shia stance can also be a point of tension. 

The primary, long-term goal of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is 

1. the establishment of a state, or

2. ultimately a global caliphate, governed solely by Sharia law

   A. This is to be achieved through a gradual, bottom-up Islamization of society, starting with individuals and families,

   B.  then expanding to the community 

   C.  and state. 

They are copying the aspects of our Jewish Law, as they have copied 

much of our religion:  Look:Sharia Prohibitions

Prohibitions in Sharia Law, which are considered haram (forbidden), include consuming pork and alcohol, gambling, interest-based transactions (riba), and certain types of contracts. Other prohibitions cover actions like murder and disrespecting parents, as well as specific practices such as the sale of intoxicating substances or illicitly obtained property. The prohibitions are diverse and range from personal conduct and dietary laws to financial and commercial activities. 
Examples of prohibitions

  • Food and Drink: Pork, alcohol, blood, and animals that have not been slaughtered in the Islamic way are forbidden.
  • Financial Transactions:
    • Riba: The taking or giving of interest on loans or investments is prohibited.
    • Maysir and Qimar: Gambling and other games of chance are forbidden.
    • Gharar: Sales that involve excessive uncertainty, ambiguity, or fraud are prohibited.
  • Personal Conduct:
    • Actions like murder, theft, fornication, and disrespecting one's parents are prohibited.
    • Certain behaviors, like public displays of affection, may be restricted in some applications of the law.
  • Commercial Activities:
    • Trading in intoxicating substances is forbidden.
    • Selling or buying things that are inherently unlawful is prohibited. 
    • And the worst:  About Women:
    • Sharia law's impact on women is not uniform, as it varies greatly by country due to different interpretations. While some interpretations have historically granted women rights regarding property and divorce, many modern interpretations, especially in certain countries, restrict women's rights through laws that govern marriage, divorce, inheritance, and public conduct. These restrictions can include: 
    • 1. requirements for male guardianship
    •  2. and modest dress, 
    •   3. with some harmful practices like child marriage and 
    •   4. female genital mutilation occurring under the guise of Sharia law. (they cut so the woman cannot enjoy sex.) Oy, vah ah voy!
