*"[T]he organization of the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization,
and anyone who asks either to reconcile with them, to join them or to ally
with them is himself a terrorist." — Refaat Saïd, leader of Egypt's
Socialist party, al-Tagammu', and previously close friend of former Muslim
Brotherhood Supreme Guide, Mahdi Akef.* *It should come as no surprise,
then, that the motto of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis is also the verse singled out
by Hassan al Banna: "Fight them until there is no fitnah [discord], and
[until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah." [Qur'an, Sura VIII, verse
39]* *The link between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is clear, and
confirmed by Article 2 of the Charter of Hamas, which reads: "The Islamic
Resistance movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in
Palestine".*
A new terror group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis [ABM], just officially entered the
scene. Both the U.S. State Department and the British government included
it, at the beginning of April, in their list of proscribed terrorist
organizations. The United Kingdom justified its
decision<https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/301777/ProscribedOrganisationsApril14.pdf>
as
follows: "ABM is an Al Qa'ida inspired militant Islamist group based in the
northern Sinai region of Egypt. The group is said to recruit within Egypt
and abroad and aims to create an Egyptian state ruled by Sharia law. ABM is
assessed to be responsible for a number of attacks on security forces in
Egypt since 2011. The attacks appear to have increased since the overthrow
of the Morsi government in July 2013. The group's reach goes beyond the
Sinai, with the group claiming responsibility for a number of attacks in
Cairo and cross-border attacks against Israel. ABM has undertaken attacks
using vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and surface-to-air
missiles. Examples of attacks for which the group has claimed
responsibility include: an attack on the Egyptian Interior Minister in
which a UK national was seriously injured (September, 2013); an attack on a
police compound in Mansoura, killing at least 16 people, including 14
police officers (December 24, 2013), and an attack on a tourist bus in
which three South Koreans and their Egyptian driver died (January 16,
2014)." The decision taken by the British government against Ansar Bayt
al-Maqdis came almost at the same time as the decision to start
investigations on the activities of Muslim Brotherhood [MB] and its
possible links with terrorism.

There is however a link between ABM and the Muslim Brotherhood: the
justification of jihad, based on the Koranic text. Although in January
2014, after the December 24 attack -- linked by the British government
statement to ABM -- the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood issued a declaration in
which it denied any connection with ABM, Refaat Saïd, the leader of the
Socialist Party, Tagammu', said otherwise. Saïd pointed out, during the
visit of Catherine Ashton to Egypt on the eve of its presidential
elections, that Ashton "wants to open channels for a reconciliation with
the Muslim Brotherhood despite knowing perfectly well that Dr. Mohammed
Morsi himself imported the organization of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis and placed
it in the Sinai. Morsi released many of its members from prison so they
could carry out terror attacks in the Sinai region to take him back to
power." Saïd bluntly added that "the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood
is a terrorist organization, and anyone who asks either to reconcile with
them, to join them or to ally with them is himself a
terrorist."[1]<http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4297/muslim-brotherhood-ansar-bayt-al-maqdis#_ftn1>
Saïd,
previously a close friend of Mahdi Akef, the former MB Supreme Guide, knows
the Brotherhood closely. In September 2013, after an attack on the Egyptian
Minister of the Interior, Major General Ahmad 'Abd al-Halim explained that
"Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis is an organization including 15 organizations acting
and working in Gaza and belonging to the sphere of al-Qaeda and
Hamas."[2]<http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4297/muslim-brotherhood-ansar-bayt-al-maqdis#_ftn2>
Colonel
Farouq Hamdan -- an aide to former Egyptian Interior Minister -- also
commented that "the attack was carried out with the blessing of, and
consultation between the organizations of the Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar
Bayt al-Maqdis, which was funded by the
Brotherhood."[3]<http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4297/muslim-brotherhood-ansar-bayt-al-maqdis#_ftn3>
The
connection between Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, al-Qaeda and Hamas -- already on
the official lists of proscribed terrorist organizations in the West -- and
the Muslim Brotherhood -- which is already presently on the proscribed
terror organizations of Russia (February 2003), Syria (21 October 2013),
Egypt (25 December 2013), Saudi Arabia (7 March 2013) and the United Arab
Emirates (9 March 2014) -- is sometimes a direct one, and sometimes an
ideological link. The link between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is
clear and straight, and confirmed by Article 2 of the Charter of Hamas,
which reads: "The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the
Muslim Brothers in Palestine. The Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a world
organization, the largest Islamic Movement in the modern era. It is
characterized by a profound understanding, by precise notions and by a
complete comprehensiveness of all concepts of Islam in all domains of life:
views and beliefs, politics and economics, education and society,
jurisprudence and rule, indoctrination and teaching, the arts and
publications, the hidden and the evident, and all the other domains of
life." It would appear rather more difficult to demonstrate the link
between the Muslim Brotherhood and some markedly jihadist movements such as
Al Qaeda, Gamaat al-Islamiyya -- also internationally recognized as a
terrorist organization -- and Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis. In 2005, Sylvain Besson
published, for the first time in a Western language, a document in his
book, The Conquest of the West: The Secret Project of Islamists, often
referred to as "The Secret Project." The document, "Towards a global
strategy of Islamic politics (starting points, elements, essential
conditions and missions)," was found in 2001 by Swiss authorities in the
house of Youssef Nada, one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in the
West A similar
version<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf>
of
the "Secret Project" was also aired in 2012 in a documentary
film<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL2gEWqRgvw> about
the MB in the West by American journalist Glenn Beck. What is strange is
that no one has given due importance to the contents of both documents. "The
Secret Project" explains the twelve starting points of the strategy of the
Brotherhood in the West. For example:
*"Step 5: Work to establish the Islamic state, in parallel make progressive
efforts aiming at controlling the local centres of power through
institutional work.* *"Step 6: Work with loyalty alongside Islamic groups
and institutions in various fields by agreeing on a common ground in order
to cooperate on points of convergence while putting aside the points of
divergence.* *"Step 7: Accept the principle of temporary cooperation
between Islamic movements and nationalist movements [...]"*
In Step 9, jihad is finally mentioned: "Build a permanent force of the
Islamic preaching and support movements engaged in jihad in the Islamic
world, in different ways and within the limits of the possible....Get in
touch with any new movement engaged in jihad wherever in the planet, with
Islamic minorities, and create walkways, according to requirements, to
support and establish a partnership. Keep the jihad on alert in the umma
[Muslim community] […]." "The Secret Project" calls for a bond, a better
collaboration with jihadi movements and it would seem that strategically,
leaders and members of the MB consider both jihad and jihadi movements
fundamental to achieve their goals. Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the
Muslim Brotherhood in 1936, issued a call to "kings and princes, members of
legal organizations and Islamic societies, to those who own judgment and
sense of honour in the Muslim world," to the so-called "Fifty requests" to
return to a true Islamic society. The third
request<http://www.egyptiantalks.org/invb/index.php?showtopic=123527>
reads:
"Reinforce the army, multiply sections of young people and inflame them on
the grounds of Islamic jihad." Jihad appears always to have been part of MB
ideology. Sayyid Qutb, possibly the most important MB ideologue, in his
commentary of Koran, In the Shade of
Qur'an<http://ia700803.us.archive.org/27/items/InTheShadeOfTheQuranSayyidQutb/Volume_7_surah_8.pdf>,
defines jihad: "Islam gives the name jihad to such cumulative efforts. This
includes efforts to change people through verbal advocacy. It also includes
the possible armed struggle to end an oppressive system and establish
justice. [...] among the radical concepts of the revolutionary party named
"Muslim" the most foundational is to engage every rebellious force that
comes in Islam's way: fight them, muster everything possible to replace
them." Sayyid Qutb's books and his theory of jihad have been fundamental in
building the foundation of Al-Qaeda ideology as Ayman al-Zawahiri clearly
states in his book Knights under the Prophet's
Banner<http://azelin.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/ayman-al-zawahiri-knights-under-the-prophets-banner-first-edition.pdf>
. In 1978, a Sudanese reformist and political leader, Mahmud Muhammad Taha,
who was sentenced to death for apostasy in 1985, wrote, in the first part
of his reflection, These are the Muslim Brothers: "In this age when
humanity was predisposed to spread Islam at the scientific level based on
persuasion, on reconciliation and peace, when the world opinion was
inclined to renounce violence and not to resort to war to solve problems,
here came the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood calling Muslims to
jihad! Here is the shaykh Hasan al- Banna, the founder of their preaching,
consecrating a letter of his to jihad, 'The Letter of jihad.' He quotes
many Koranic verses calling for jihad [...] He concludes the document with
the following invitation: 'Brothers, the umma is a factory of death [...]
and Allah reserved you the precious life on earth and eternal bliss in the
afterlife, what a fragility leads us to love this life and hate death, be
ready for an important action and long for death since it will give you
life.'"[4]<http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4297/muslim-brotherhood-ansar-bayt-al-maqdis#_ftn4>
In
a letter about "teachings" (Risalat al-ta'alim), in "Point 7," the
paragraph dedicated to action, Hasan al-
Bannawrote<http://www.daawa-info.net/books1.php?id=5125&bn=195&page=17>:
"We must be the masters in spreading the Islamic preaching in every place,
'And fight them until there is nofitnah [upheaval] and [until] the
religion, all of it, is for Allah' (Surat al-Anfal, VIII:39) [...] and I
want jihad as an obligation of the past that will continues until the Day
of Judgment and that has as its main purpose the hadith of the Messenger of
Allah -- upon him the greetings and blessing of Allah: whoever dies without
having fought and without having any intention of fighting is as if he had
died in the era of ignorance.'" The importance of jihad in the history of
MB is further underlined by the title of an essay that Yusuf al-Qaradawi,
one of its main theologians: "The Muslim Brotherhood. Seventy years of
preaching, education and jihad" (Beirut 2001). Al-Qaradawi states that,
"the movement engaged in real jihadi battles against the Zionists in
Palestine and the British in Egypt and the movement sent the best of its
sons to sacrifice." (page 235) It should come as no surprise, then, that
the motto of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis is also the verse singled out by Hassan
al Banna: "Fight them until there is no fitnah [discord], and [until] the
religion, all of it, is for Allah." [Qur'an, Sura VIII, verse 39]. As
stated in "The Secret Project" of the Muslim Brotherhood, the MB and
Islamist movements are merely different but complementary ways to implement
the goals of jihad. Whereas the Muslim Brotherhood preaches jihad with
pragmatism and "moderation," the ABM, Hamas and al-Qaeda preach and
practice it bluntly and with no delay. But whenever the Brotherhood enters
what could be perceived as resistance, then open violence becomes
permissible, as now in Egypt. Recent statements to the Sunday Times by
Ibrahim al-Mounir, whom many regard as the leader of the Brotherhood in
Europe, sound as if they are a veiled threat: "If this [ban] happened, this
would make a lot of people in Muslim communities think that [peaceful]
Muslim Brotherhood values ... didn't work and now they are designated a
terrorist group, which would make the doors open for all options." When
asked if he meant that the group was open to violence, he replied: "Any
possibility." There can be no doubt about the ideological link between ABM
and MB: both believe in jihad, in the conquest of power by Islam. The most
important thing the West has to understand is the blunt pragmatism of MB,
that is what Mohammed Charfi, former Tunisian minister of education, wrote
in his essay, Islam et liberté: "Today the observers call a "moderate"
Islamist the person who, with Westerners, uses reasonable language and who
does not choose an openly violent action. However even though his style is
calm and the rejection of violence seems sincere, since the movement is
always linked to sharia and the sacralisation of history, his moderation
remains provisional and indicates a strategy of waiting, because the
ingredients of radicalization have not disappeared."
