Note that this Muslim Brotherhood leader speaks repeatedly about the necessity of “struggle,” which in Arabic is jihad. A Muslim Brotherhood document dating from May 1991, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” states that the Brotherhood in the U.S. is in “the process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions” (p. 7).

The idea that the Westerners would destroy their own civilization “by their hands” comes from the Qur’an: “It is he who has caused those among the people of the book who disbelieved to go forth from their homes to the first exile. You did not think that they would go forth, while they thought that their strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah reached them from a place they did not expect, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O you who have eyes” (Qur’an 59:2).

When the Explanatory Memorandum first began to be publicized, it became a new basis for wholesale defamation of foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression in the U.S. The Huffington Post sneered in 2018 that “the anti-Muslim chorus,” including me, “have written that ‘the Brotherhood lays out a plan [in the document] to do nothing less than conquer and Islamize the United States.’” Inconceivable! The Southern Poverty Law Center charged that those who called attention to this endeavor were “gripped by paranoid fantasies of foreign entities such as the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating and supplanting the U.S. from within.” The ADL dismissed warnings about the Muslim Brotherhood document as “anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.”

Will they retract and apologize? Don’t hold your breath.
