The Muslim Brotherhood's Global Threat Linked to Qatar's

Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN)

"The Muslim Brotherhood is a militant Islamist organization with affiliates in over 70 countries, including groups designated a terrorist organizations by the U.S."

"[Its founder, Hassan al-Banna, said in 1928 that] Jihad is an obligation from Allah [for every Muslim] and cannot be ignored or evaded."

"The Way of Jihad [he wrote]: Jihad means the fighting of the unbelievers and involves all possible efforts that are necessary to dismantle the power of the enemies of Islam, including beating them, plundering their wealth, destroying their place of worship, and smashing their idols."

"This belief was put into action in t he decades that followed as the Muslim Brotherhood's members committed numerous acts of terrorism, including the assassination of Egypt's Prime Minister in 1948."

"This jihadist ideology continues to fuel the Muslim Brotherhood today. The Brotherhood mourned the death of Osama bin Laden and its leaders developed teachings justifying revolutionary violence under sharia law."

"The Brotherhood has preached hatred towards Jews, denied the Holocaust, and called for Israel's destruction."

The Brotherhood has incited violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt amidst a wave of church bombings and other attacks by terrorist groups, including ISIS."

"Yusuf al-Qaradawi, perhaps the Brotherhood's preeminent cleric, issued a fatwa legitimizing  terrorist attacks against American troops in Iraq. And he's also deemed the Holocaust to be a, quote, 'punishment for Jews', and expressed hope that another Holocaust would someday be carried out by his fellow Islamists."

Not only are some governments in the West recognizing finally the dire threat to Western civilization posed by the ideological fascism of Islamist fundamentalism espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood, they are now joined by a handful of Muslim countries as well whose governments have taken steps to outlaw their activities on their  soil. Among them is the United Arab Emirates which has been in the vanguard of issuing warnings to the West of the threat posed by this almost 100-year-old totalitarian Islamist group.

 

When President Donald Trump's government made it known it intended to "counter violence and destabilizing activities carried out by terrorist Muslim Brotherhood branches wherever they operate", a few branches of the Brotherhood were named as proscribed targets. A partial, and incomplete decision which should logically have outlawed the entire ideological/religio apparatus. Even that move, however, inspired the UAE to welcome the U.S. designation of several branches as terrorist organizations.

 

Unfortunately Mr. Trump's attention was to focus only on branches of the Muslim Brotherhood located in Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, where it originated and from which the government of Egypt itself outlawed the group, which didn't stop it from continuing operations in Egypt. During the Arab Spring, when mobs of Egyptian dissenters called for Hosni Mubarak to step away from the presidency, the Muslim Brotherhood had huge support from the population. As it did from the U.S. Obama administration which chose to abandon its support for President Mubarak, and welcome the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi in his stead.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood is not alone in its "resources that enable them to engage in, support, or justify acts of extremism, hatred and terrorism" as the UAE put it. There is another source of all that the Brotherhood is recognized for, as a threat to Western values, heritage, society, culture and laws, that works studiously to accomplish the very same goal that motivates the Brotherhood. And that is the monarchy of Qatar whose vast riches from oil resources has enabled it to literally buy its way into the United States, furnishing tens of millions to American universities, while inserting itself into the political fabric of the U.S

Qatar is the Muslim Brotherhood financier, just as it plowed millions upon millions into terrorist group activities, most notably Hamas, in Gaza. The US. State Department itself has recognized Qatar as a chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood for decades. That acknowledgment has come to nothing, despite knowing Qatar finances Islamist jihad and terrorist outfits that exemplify jihadist terrorism.

 

All of this is well known, and recognized, and it cannot have slipped the attention of the U.S. president who nonetheless views Qatar as a U.S. protectorate. Mr. Trump went so far as to issue an order stating the U.S. "shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty or critical infrastructure of the state of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States". This, despite the Qatar funding of terrorism, including al-Qaeda which carried out the 9-11 attacks in New York, Washington/Pentagon and Pennsylvania. The 'art of the deal' enters the picture, with Qatari/U.S. business interests.

 

The Qataris are shrewd enough to know that even American presidents can be 'bought' with extravagantly expensive gifts. Qatar's strategy to undermine the West while funding the Muslim Brotherhood is known, yet its vast wealth and 'investments' abroad have gained it respectability and admiration. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney stated his intention to meet with "the Amir of Qatar, His Highness sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to deepen the relationship between Canada and Qatar".

 

Underlining the fault lines between intelligence and caution in that the West has chosen to blind itself to the reality of extremism that the Muslim Brotherhood and its sponsors represent as a dire threat to all the West holds dear.

 

The Growing Influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on Politics, Academia, and Civil Society in Canada

---

This research report provides a comprehensive analysis of the organization and impact of the Muslim Brotherhood network in Canada. Over a period of decades, Brotherhood-affiliated organizations have managed to develop legitimate ties and wield considerable influence within Canada’s civil, academic, and political spheres. Branches of organizations that have previously been found to be supporting terror organizations such as Hamas continue to operate with impunity, often after rebranding themselves. The report also assesses the impact that these developments have had on Canadian university campuses, with a particular focus on McGill University, Concordia University, the University of Toronto, and York University.

"The ongoing diplomatic crisis between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours, which centres mainly on the country's alleged support for terrorism, represents one of the biggest challenges to the UK’s foreign policy to the Middle East since the Arab Spring. Qatar has been accused by its neighbours of supporting terrorism and there is substantial evidence that the country has long been supporting the Al Nusra Front, designated by the US in 2012 as a foreign terrorist organization and the Al Qaeda branch in Syria. The support has included coordination between Al Nusra commanders and senior Qatari military officials and financiers, financial assistance, and help in creating a new opposition coalition in which Al Nusra was a leading member. Qatar has also found other means to support Al Nusra in the face of the US designation including the facilitation or direct payment of ransom to the group for the released of kidnapped victims and the toleration of private, designated terrorist financiers within the country. The most significant of these financiers is an individual described by the US as a Qatar-based terrorist financier and facilitator who is also the President of an anti-Western political coalition comprised of prominent Salafi and Global Muslim Brotherhood leaders. This coalition includes at least seven leading figures and/or their organizations designated as terrorists by the United States, the EU, and/or the United Nations for their support of Al-Qaeda and related groups. Some of these figures and/or the organization itself have suggested direct attacks on the US and the UK military and the Qatari GAAC President himself has bragged about the close cooperation between GAAC and the violent Iraqi "resistance" against coalition forces."

"This Is Your October 7"

"Exporting the revolution, giving birth to and exporting terrorist groups is part of the Iranian regime."

"The names [of the groups] are not important. Terror is the most important mission inside and outside Iran, outside is even more important."

"These regimes have to reflect their image, superiority and power, in order to expand. Iranians actually cooperate with Russia and China. They learned it from them."

"Western countries are kind of honest and naive, and in obeying the law and liberal and democratic values, they sometimes fall in that trap of not knowing they help these dictators."

"They use your systems of being honest and good and trying to help the poor, and they abuse it."

Born in Iran, Bani Sabti with the Institute for National Security Studies specializes in Iranian culture, influence and media. He knows, intimately, whereof he speaks. And he doubtless views the West and its governments as credulous fools. Anti-Israel supporters of Hamas flaunting their presence in the streets of Canada do not appear to alarm anyone in authority in the country. While they passionately espouse the glories of the religion of peace, he knows that Islam regards itself as the 'place of peace', while regarding non-Islamic countries as 'places of war'. The faithful in Islam are obligated to help transform such places of war into places of peace.

 

Massing to enact mass prayers outside of churches, in front of an Israeli consulate or embassy, they boldly proclaim their mission, but no one appears to be interested in that mission. The open threats against Canada's Jewish population, the 'pro-Palestinian' mobs march in residential areas where Jews are known to live, unison-shouting 'go back to Poland', 'Final Solution', and 'From the river to the sea'. Jews whose residences are nearby are informed by police not to antagonize the mobs. No move is made to remove the threatening processions disturbing the peace and tranquility of residential areas.

 

This is a new Canada that appears to value a conciliatory approach to unlawful, threatening behaviour to any of its citizens, while instructing those same citizens  under fire by malignant forces to lock themselves away in their homes. The police are invested in the safety of all municipal dwellers in areas they serve, and for Jews that safety is to ignore the viral threats surrounding them while police spend their time aiding the malefactors to 'keep the peace'.

 

Beni Sabti was born and raised in the Islamic Republic. Demonstrations and mass street prayers became the norm during the 1978 Iranian Revolution. Islamic students in North America and in Europe took part in those mass street prayers along with those taking place in Iran. Their efforts aided the Islamic Revolution to succeed and the Shah of Iran to be dethroned and exiled along with his family. 

 

British-American Professor Emeritus of Persian studies at the University of California, Hamid Algar, described mosques as the principal organizers of the revolution, where "mass prayers, demonstrations and martyrdom were -- until the very last stage -- its principal weapons".  

 

According to a recent Global News report, some 450 individuals involved with Hamas have ties to Canada, either through temporary visas, landed immigration status or studying at Canadian universities. This, in the last decade during the governance of the Liberal party when security clearances were lax, and the government policy was one of open doors, declared so by then-prime minister Justin Trudeau. Thus, immigrants, refugee-class and migrants streamed into Canada to enrich its culture and social life through an Islamist lens.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada ensures that freedom of speech and the right to peaceful gatherings are enabled, rights reflected in any democratic country. It is doubtful that those Charter Rights took into account mass demonstrations against an identifiable minority demographic, where threats against Jews, and support of terrorist groups proscribed by Canada's own laws, and destruction of both public and private property takes place, would be regarded as a civil right. 

 

A mass prayer session that took place directly in front of Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica, many more in the streets, and at times deliberately blocking traffic, all point to the reality that while these demonstrations initially attacked Jews in Canada, the intended and eventual targets are broader and encompass all of society guilty of not having submitted to the religion of peace. 

 

Beni Sabti points out that the passion of faith requires from its adherents more than religious fervor and a commitment to get out in public and loudly and fervently declare its intentions which only they alone are able to adequately interpret as a general threat. Money, he explains, funds terror, and its function complements the sympathy of oblivion that takes place in countries of the West. Where in the past western intellectuals have been sympathetic to Islamic political movements, their numbers have swelled.

 

As willing contributors to the Islamist totalitarian agenda, academics and unions, presumably in support of the 'underdog', have gone out of their way to assist the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Republic of Iran, monied and influential Qatar, and all their dedicated terrorist groups in a jihad comprised of persuasion on the one hand, violence on the other, achieve the goal of Islamist conquest.

A mere two weeks following the October 7, 2023 terror attack in southern Israel -- by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, fortified by enthusiastic Palestinian civilians from Gaza, estimated as four thousand-strong in number that launched a deadly rampage of mass murder, torture, rape and hostage-taking -- Montreal imam Adil Charkaoui declaimed before a large anti-Israel gathering for Allah to "kill the enemies of the people of Gaza and to spare none of them". 

"This is your October 7. Closing the door and being safe inside the houses and not knowing what is going on outside and not filming, it's your kibbutz, it's your village."

"Closing the door, and saying, OK, we are safe ... but they come. This is the problem. When you retreat, they come after you. When you give them more space physically, they will come, and they will burn offices, and they will burn churches."

"The masses in the streets, it's not just about praying. It's about conquering your city. It's about conquering the streets. This is something very, very dangerous..."

"Canadians don't know about this culture. That this is what is going on in the Middle East. Those who are in the streets are the winners, they take the regime. This is what happened in Iran, in Syria, in Iraq. Walking is a conquering thing, so Canada has to deal with that."

"It's their state, you are the enemy now. This is what they are telling you. You can't do anything against masses..."

"If Canada does not want to be a victim of the next October 7, it needs to neutralize these mass gatherings."
