The Brotherhood is Saying...



...but is anyone on our side listening?

A friend sent us the following excerpt from a newsletter he received--

Mustafa Mashhur ran the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt from 1996 through 2002. In Jihad is the Way, the final installment of a five-volume work called The Laws of Da’wa, Mashhur lays out the Brotherhood's agenda as follows:



The goal of Islam is global conquest and the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate: "The Islamic ummah [the international community of Muslims] can regain its power and be liberated and assume its rightful position which was intended by Allah, as the most exalted nation among men, as the leaders of humanity...you [Muslims] are the masters of the world, even if your enemies desire your degradation."


The means of conquest must be jihad: "[J]ihad and preparation towards jihad are not only for the purpose of fending off assaults and attacks of Allah‘s enemies from Muslims, but are also for the purpose of realizing the great task of establishing an Islamic state and strengthening the religion and spreading it around the world...there is no other option but jihad for Allah..."


Jihad must be waged everywhere: "Jihad for Allah is not limited to the specific region of the Islamic countries, since the Muslim homeland is one and is not divided, and the banner of Jihad has already been raised in some of its parts, and shall continue to be raised, with the help of Allah, until every inch of the land of Islam will be liberated, and the State of Islam established.


It is the duty of every Muslim to wage jihad: "[Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna] felt the grave danger overshadowing the Muslims and the urgent need and obligation which Islam places on every Muslim, man and woman, to act in order to restore the Islamic Caliphate and to reestablish the Islamic state on strong foundations.


Muslims must be patient: "―The Brotherhood is not rushed by youth‘s enthusiasm into immature and unplanned action which will not alter the bad reality and may even harm the Islamic activity, and will benefit the people of falsehood...it is not necessary that the Muslims repel every attack or damage caused by the enemies of Allah immediately, but [only] when ability and the circumstances are fit to it."

Sounds secular to me!

But it has “Brotherhood” in there, too. I’m sure they all sit around and sing the Muslim equivalent of “Kumbaya” whenever they get together.

Well if they do, I hope it's something like this:
