The Mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood? No Surprise Here - Al Jazeera
by Peter A Baum, WeeklyBlitz.net (excerpt)
In order to comprehend the Muslim Brotherhood, we must explain how it came into being and how it has evolved.
Rather than put into my own words a few paragraphs on the history, status and objectives of the organization AI gives a thoroughly adequate analysis as noted below.
The Muslim Brotherhood (Arabic: Jamāʿat al-Ikhwān al-Muslimīn) is a transnational Sunni Islamist organization and arguably the world’s oldest and most influential contemporary Islamist movement.
Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, it advocates for the implementation of Sharia law as a comprehensive guide for all aspects of life, with the ultimate goal of establishing a state ruled by Islamic law.
Key information
Founder: Hassan al-Banna.
Founded: March 1928 in Ismailia, Egypt.
Ideology: Sunni Islamism, social and religious conservatism, a “bottom-up, gradual Islamization of society”.
Motto: “Allah is our objective, the Prophet is our leader, the Quran is our law, jihad is our way, dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope”.
Current Status: It is banned and designated a terrorist organization in several countries, including Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and, as of April 2025, Jordan. The US has recently moved to sanction certain chapters.
Paradoxically, the organization is banned in six Muslim countries –
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
the United Arab Emirates
Jordan
Bahrain
Kazakhstan
The Brotherhood were responsible for the assassination of President of Sadat of Israel who hade made peace with Israel.
Morsi, a Brotherhood leader became President but was removed in a military coup and thereafter the organization was banned.
Russia too bans them and for the very first time, a western democracy the USA, has initiated legal proceedings to ‘sanction certain chapters.
Those countries recognize the real threat of harboring the Muslim Brotherhood within their territories.
If we investigate further, it is a fact that Qatar and Turkey are the nations responsible for funding and facilitation of the Muslim Brotherhood and herein lies the fragility of the balance of power that will ultimately determine the fate of western civilization.
The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is to achieve nothing less than a global and controlling brand of Islamic totalitarianism that will first dilute and then ultimately destroy all other forms of religious presence and prevent any political and ideological challenge.
This goal has been knowingly encouraged by globalist ‘progressive’ organizations, and governments who have been willing facilitators driven by a combination of factors which absurdly align themselves to anti-democratic Islamism.
Warped ideology, financial greed, anti-Judaeo Christian values, biased media and political support for the Palestinian ‘ cause have further exacerbated and promoted the objectives and successful achievements of the fundamentalists and their anti-western , anti-democratic and antisemitic agenda.
Qatar’s financial influence has permeated all levels of western society – academia, sport, culture, the media and political discourse and their successes have been truly remarkable.
Let’s take one example …
The funding angle deserves more examination than it usually gets. Most media criticism stays surface-level about bias without tracing where institutional funding actually shapes coverage priorities. When state-backed outlets operate in foreign markets, the economic dependencies create constraints that aren't always visible to audiences. I once worked with a team analyzing media ownership structures across differetn regions and the gap between stated editorial independence and actual operational constraints was pretty wild.
