The Muslim Brotherhood in the United States
The NEFA Foundation has published a pamphlet -- The Muslim Brotherhood in the United States -- summarizing the documentary evidence introduced by the government in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution. It is must reading. Here is the report's summary of findings:
The exhibits make four things clear:These findings raise questions of policy on a broad array of issues including immigration, internal security, and civil liberties. The pamphlet includes relevant historical background and warrants extended study.1) Many of the existing organizations that have set themselves up as the interlocutors between the Islamic community in the United States and the outside world (including government, law enforcement, and other faiths) were founded and controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood from their inception. Many of them changed their names over time to achieve broader national acceptance.
2) The Brotherhood established a highly-structured organization with many different faces inside the United States while deliberately and continually seeking to hide the Brotherhood’s links to its front groups.
3) The agenda to be carried out by these groups in the United States in reality had little to do with the organizations’ publicly-proclaimed goals, such as protecting the civil rights of Muslims. Rather, the true goal is to destroy the United States from the inside and work to establish a global Islamist society.
4) The primary function of the Brotherhood structures, from the early 1990s forward, was to support, materially and politically, the Hamas movement in the Palestinian territories, as instructed by the office of the general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo.
