What is the Muslim Brotherhood?

Founded in Egypt in 1928, by Hassan al-Banna, a teacher and imam, the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is global Islamic domination and the establishment of Islamic sharia law.

"Allah is our objective, the prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way, dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope," the group's creed says.

Very few people have ever heard of the Muslim Brotherhood and yet it is considered to be the most influential Islamic movement in the United States and the world. Experts say that every prominent Islamic organization in the U.S. is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and some have even called it an "insurgency."

After being accused of attempting to assassinate then Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser,the group was outlawed in Egypt in 1954. Nevertheless, they have the support of about one-third of the population.

Political candidates skirt the group's illegality by running as independents in national elections. They won about 20 percent of the parliament seats in 2005 and formed the largest opposition bloc.

Initially, the Islamic group was not visibly involved in the current unrest in Egypt but has since demanded the formation of a temporary government to "transfer power peacefully."

Many analysts have warned that the pro-democracy demonstrations demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak could be hijacked by Islamists. Such was the case in 1979, when pro-democracy demonstrators overthrew the Shah of Iran and then lost control to radical Islamic forces.

Mubarak Blames Islamists for Chaos

<snip>

The Muslim Brotherhood appears to have endorsed Mohamed ElBaradei for president in a unity coalition without Mubarak. Members of the group have met with him, but ElBaradei has not yet said if he would welcome Islamists in his coalition.

I've heard several people equate this situation in Egypt to the revolution in Iran in 1979. I sure hope it doesn't turn out that way because the Iranians are worse off than they were 32 years ago.

That is the risk, and why they need prayers.

Same Sad Old Story

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5

Raised To The Power Of Ten

The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zechariah 12:1-3

Yet We Know

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Hope

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13

Praying God Will Continue To Save The Muslim

And God Bless Israel

And The IDF

In Jesus' Name

Amen

It will be a nightmare if Egypt goes that direction, not only for the the US, but for Israel. We should also be watching the other Arab nations over there.

I am reminded of all the nations that come against Israel in the end. So far they have been held back, taking their cue from Egypt.

These could certainly be earth shaking events.

The Muslim brotherhood is not a nice moderate group but it is one that brought forth all the other offshoots. They are sunni which Iran, Syria, Lebanon is not though they do play nice when it comes to figuring out how to push Israel into the sea. One of the founders I believe was from Germany where the grand mufti of Jerusalem hung out with the nazis forming ways and means to kill all the Jews of the world. Bad for everyone if they get into power and it does look like they might, they have been building up 'good' works and gaining political clout all over the place it seems. The whole middle east is burning some way or another and now Jordan is setting up a 'new' govt also. And little Egypt is all alone with no more allies around them they are entirely surrounded by those that wish them dead. We just are gonna have to wait to see who sits in the real power seat of the Egyptian gov. and how long they wish to keep up appearances of keeping the treaty. Personally I see the coming of the caliphate a revised Ottoman Empire.
