YOu need to know and understand OUR enemy! The Stealth Jihad in America The Muslim Brotherhood has been active in the United States for decades. It is the moving force behind the mainstream organizations of Islam in America, such as the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Students Association, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the International Institute for Islamic Thought, and many others. “I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has logic and a mission.” So said Brotherhood leader Muhammad Mahdi Othman Akef in 2004. He was referring not to a military invasion, but to an infiltration and conversion through propaganda: “The Europeans and the Americans,” he explained, “will come into the bosom of Islam out of conviction.”4 The strategy to implement this mission was described in a Muslim Brotherhood memorandum of 1991 titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.” The author of the memorandum, a top Brotherhood operative in the United States, Mohamed Akram, explained that the 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 Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”5 This document came to light during the 2007 trial of what had been the largest Islamic charity in the United States, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The trial ended with the Holy Land Foundation being convicted for funneling charitable donations to the Brotherhood’s off-shoot, Hamas. In the 1991 memorandum, Akram lays out a plan to conquer and Islamize the United States by stealth – a stealth jihad. The Brotherhood’s success in America would be a momentous step in achieving the larger goal of establishing “the global Islamic state.”6 To achieve its goal of submitting America to Islamic rule, the memorandum calls on Brotherhood members to establish front groups whose mission is not overtly one of conquest; they should be “firmly-rooted organizations on whose bases civilization, structure and testimony are built.” Creating these front organizations is touted as a sound strategy for the United States, in which freedom of assembly is a sacred right: “We must say that we are in a country which understands no language other than the language of the organizations, and one which does not respect or give weight to any group without effective, functional and strong organizations.” Akram notes that many organizations useful for this stealth jihad have already been established: “All we need is to tweak them, coordinate their work, collect their elements and merge their efforts with others and then connect them with the comprehensive plan we seek.” The Brotherhood memorandum includes “a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends,” with the appended note: “Imagine if they all march according to one plan!!!” Deceptive “Moderates” Among the organizations on Akram’s list are the principal mainstream Muslim organizations in the United States today, including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT), the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA), and the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). Out of the latter emerged the most prominent Muslim group in the United States, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). And this is only a partial list. For their roles in the transfer of charitable donations to Hamas, many of these groups were designated as unindicted co-conspirators during the Holy Land Foundation trial. Also named were numerous individuals, including the Muslim Brotherhood operative who was for a time the most powerful and influential Muslim in the United States: Abdurahman Alamoudi. Alamoudi’s career is instructive. He immigrated to the United States from Yemen in 1979; in 1990 he founded the American Muslim Council, which soon became a key player in Washington politics. Alamoudi also founded the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, which for a considerable period was one of only two Muslim groups authorized to approve Muslim chaplains for the U.S. military.
