Subcommittee on Terrorism: Muslim Brotherhood Part III

Testimony of Ahmed Subhy Mansour, President, The International Quranic Center

Muslim Brothers

Pure Islam has the values of peace, freedom, justice and tolerance. The Early Arab Muslims violated Islam in establishing their mighty empires in middle ages. Arab Muslim empires defeated the Christian Europe dividing the world in that time into two camps: The Camp of Islam and the Camp of war. This contradicts Islam. As a justification, human-made Sharia was invented. After some centuries, Europe defeated Muslims, then occupied most of their countries. For reviving their strength and glory Muslims have one of two ways: Salafiyya or modernism.

The History of the Salafi Wahhabi Saudi States

Choosing Salafiyya means to restore the glorious past of the mighty Muslim Empire in the middle ages and applying its fanatic Sharia in our modern times....

...So, it was needed for political organization with Salafi Wahhabi doctrine. Rasheed Reda chose the brilliant one among the Muslim Youth, his name is Hasan al Banna, and the new organization (Muslim Brothers) was created for him in 1928 to take over Egypt for the Wahhabism to help the Saudi State to survive. So, from that early time, there were the Salafi for preach and Muslim Brothers for the political agenda.

...After Mubarak, this Salafi trend became free and appeared suddenly as untamed beast threatening Egypt, exposing the secret agenda of Wahhabism and Muslim Brothers. After Mubarak, Muslim brothers have many troubles; the Salafi trends occupy the picture instead of them, giving bad news for the future when Muslim Brothers take over Egypt. Muslim Brothers try in vain to tame the Salafi leaders to conceal the Wahhabi secret agenda. Muslim Brothers suffer also from disputes among their popular leaders (Mohamed Habib , Mohamed Abou Al Fotouh and Al Za;afaray ) and their youth who are more open-minded than the seniors.

...The problem will be more intense after the success of the Libyan, Yemen, and Syrian and Jordanian revolutions. The Salafi trends will occupy the empty picture threatening Middle East and the American interest in this region.

Activities in the US

Muslim Brothers as political organization is does not exist in the West and/ or US. All the activists and leaders here have the Salafi agenda of brainwashing the Muslim communities in the West to be the fifth column in the West according to the Sunni Salafi belief of dividing the world into two camps; the camp of Islam and the camp of infidels/war. This needs a Muslim Salafi body to infiltrate the enemy camp to sabotage it from within. So, their Jihad here is to keep the Muslim communities away from integration, poisoned them to be enemies to their fellow Americans, recruiting and brainwashing Americans to convert to Islam, not the real Islam but the Salafi Wahhabi dogma and prepare thousands of people to be suicide bombers and create what we can say the American Taliban. For this cause, they control most of the mosques, the so- called Islamic schools and many of the Islamic studies in the Western and American universities. They have the unlimited support from the Saudi and Gulf State secretly and publicly.

...On coming to the U.S. as a political asylee, I found the same Saudi influence at work in Sunni Mosques, Centers, and schools — most of them controlled by the same fanatics who advocate the Wahhabi Salafi culture of terrorism.

To take a typical example, the official Saudi translation of the Holy Quran deliberately mistranslates Chapter One, [Al Fatehah] — the opening of the Quran. It says: “Guide us to the straight path. The path of those on whom You have bestowed Your blessing, not of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.”

The Saudi translation adds commentary on these verses, describing the Jews as those who earned the anger of God, and the Christians as those who went astray. This Quranic Chapter One, Al Fatehah, is recited seventeen times in the daily Muslim prayers. So, by means of this mistranslation, every American Muslim is brainwashed each day seventeen times to be a terrorist. Millions of copies of this translation have been distributed in the Islamic centers and schools and mosques in the U.S., asserting that all Christians and Jews are infidels, and — according to the Wahhabi faith — should be killed.

Continued Brainwashing of Muslims
If the Saudi influence in the U.S. continues for some decades, a great part of the silent Muslim majority in the Muslim world and Muslim communities in the West and the U.S. will be brainwashed to become terrorists. We are talking about a billion and a half people, who are increasing daily in number, threatening the West in the near future. It is enough for the Saudi tactics to brainwash few millions “only” in the West and the U.S. to achieve its aim peacefully without the necessity of armed conflict. For the terrorist organizations, it is enough for them to use a war of ideas to recruit millions inside the West, the U.S., and in the Muslim world, using them in making dirty bombs to cause chaos among those they believe to be the “camp of evil.”
