Muslim Brotherhood: Is it A Terrorist Faction

1.0 Introduction

The Muslim Brotherhood group is one of the main Islamist sects in the North Africa and Middle-East. Its function in the prospect of world governments warrants careful thought in relation to rampant terrorists movements spread all over the planet. This paper is going to argue that the Muslim Brothers as a terrorist group. It is going to argue that the practices employed by the group are in contrary to the Islamic religion. The study will compare the practices of the Islamic brotherhood and the Islamic practices. Such a comparison will bring out distinctive differences and it can prove that it is a terrorist group. Both normative and descriptive analysis of Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim religion with a view of looking at practices, governance, organization, and strategies is employed. The normative and descriptive analysis study is employed because it presents in-depth analysis of the situation. This will help bring a balance to either suggest or prove that Muslim brotherhood exist as a terrorist group.

The paper is going to employ analysis of secondary sources where journals, magazines, books, and research papers are going to get scrutinized. In both the instances, the issues arising are going to be highlighted. Discussion of findings on the matters emanating from the analysis will be made, and the way forward drawn to give a direction that requires action, as well as the conclusion. The outcome is going to be of great significance in that evaluation of issues is going to be established and is going to allow all concerned take up security issues very seriously in relation to the group activities.

2.0 History and Background of the Muslim Brotherhood

2.1 Hassan Al-Banna

He is the founder of the Brotherhood group. He was born from a poor background family in Egypt and trained as a school teacher. In 1998, he established the Muslim Brotherhood that was taken as the first movement fundamental in modern Islam. During his childhood era, he got attracted to intolerant characteristics of Islam that was fierce to the secularism of the western world. They were angry and against the western world and fought for the rights of women. Their anguish was in considerable part a response to the downfall of the Ottoman Kingdom, the conclusion of the Muslim-Caliphate, the British position of Egypt, and the causing revelation of Arab civilization to Western ideals. According to him, the expiration of the Caliphate, even though emanated by nonspiritual Muslim-Turks, was irreverence in contradiction of Islam for which they accused the non-Muslim-West.

Muslim Brotherhood was established as a club so as to strike against the western world. They preached the necessity of reforming the Arab civilization. Later, the society expanded and entrenched in its goals the need of going back to the Islamic values. Among their aims was advocating of the education, health, equalities, resource management, and increasing conflicts. He was against the European Marxism. As the group extended, the leader had the dream of restoration. He had a conviction that the dream could only be possible by means of the sword-an idea taken very well with the followers. He preached the need for Muslims to return to the origin of Islamic roots and his speeches was inflammatory advocating for the resumption of the great holy-war against non-Muslim world. This led to him creating the Holy war document.

The first step was the “the great Arab revolt”-a translational terrorism in between 1936-1939 when the Islamic leaders as well as the Muslim Brotherhood incited the supporters for a three year war on the Palestinians as well as to the British was set up the mandate. By 1936 the group had more the 800 supporters and the membership had expanded to more than 20,000 by 1938 just two years into the revolt movement. The group had a planned and organized leadership in that they set up mosques, schools, factories, clubs, health facilities, and welfare associations. The leader, Al-Banna created secrets cells, trained, and stole weapons. In the group they train persons in different rank as the police and waited for orders to go public. They organized suicide and assassination missions.

In Nazi Germany, Reich presented them with power and connection. It grew stronger and Al-Banna created an ideology of overshadowing Hilter Nazism. The two had varied opinions but worked together-to the Nazis, the Aryan must rule, and to Al-Banna, the Muslim religion must hold dominion. They both were against nationalism and wanted liquidation of states. They both had a totalitarian figure leading their followers to different parts of the Arab world advocating for a society of believers as well as a master race. Through these, other alliances erupted and among the alliance are the Mein Kampf and Der Sturmer. In the World War II, both Hitler and Mussolini together with AL-Banna supported each other with the aim of fighting against the British. The intelligence arm of the Brotherhood gathered information on the leadership of the Cairo regime so as to fight it back. The Palestine issue on the United Nation front to end the war, al-Banna and Amin al-Husseini was against it and wanted the Arab world to come together to oppose it-leading the “Jewish world conspiracy.” The Prime Minister Mahmoud an-Nukrashi Pasha declared the group illegal and disbanded causing incarceration of many group members. Pasha got assassinated by the Brotherhood member. In 1949, Al-Banna was assassinated in Cairo in the street when he was waiting for a taxi on the grounds that he was one of the activists against the reigning regime.

2.2 Sayyid Qutb

For the majority part of his life, Qutb’s inward companions mostly comprised of compelling legislators, learned people, writers and artistic figures, both of his age and of the former era. By the mid-1940s, huge numbers of his compositions were authoritatively among the curricula of schools, universities and colleges.

Despite the fact that a large portion of his perceptions and feedback were leveled at the Muslim world, Qutb is additionally known for his serious dissatisfaction with the general public and society of the United States, which he saw as fixated on realism, viciousness, and sexual pleasures.Views on Qutb fluctuate broadly. He has been portrayed by supporters as an extraordinary mastermind and saint for Islam, while numerous Western onlookers see him as a key originator of Islamist ideology. Others in the West accept Qutb is a persuasion for vicious gatherings, for example, Al Qaeda. Today, his supporters are distinguished as Qutbists or “Qutbi” (by their adversaries, not without anyone else present).

He assimilated his involvements with the Nasser administration and its oppressive activities. It was grounded on his understanding of the Qur’an that assisted as direction for his concept of a frontline to create Islamic revitalization in the Muslim biosphere. He trusted that every characteristic of life is concentrated on obeying God’s spiritual will by internalizing the Islamic philosophies of tawhid (there is no God but Allah) and hakimiyyat Allah (God is supreme on earth). All Muslims need to be persuaded of these Islamic philosophies and use them in their manner of life. From Qutb’s viewpoint, contemporary living had guided Muslim civilizations to jahiliyyah (unawareness of the celestial direction) by submitting to worldly frontrunners or powers that be in place of God. Hence, Qutb and his factions called for takfir (ex-communication) of Muslims behind jail powers. It necessitated announcing them as kafir (non-believer). The Cubists professed themselves as an Islamist frontline crusade of true supporters. These extremists thought that the utilization of ferocity was genuine so as to combat all impacts of a jahili culture and start an Islamic nation. Even the notion of jihad was not omitted from attaining this objective. Al-Hudaybi and the associates of his Leadership Council foretold detrimental penalties to the Muslim Brotherhood if the association trailed Qutb’s opinions. The Muslim clerics gave substitute deliberations of the three main notions of deep-rooted Islamist understanding. Foremost, the notion takfir lost significance if employed to judge a person or an entire humanity, since the conviction of faith (shahada) was taken as the only binding attitude in defining whether an individual is a Muslim or not. Once an individual confesses his faith, he should be acknowledged as a Muslim and become part of the Muslim society except he openly rejects faith. Hence, no human being is capable of giving a ruling on another person belief or announces a Muslim, a kafir. The ruling, as well as the forgiveness of iniquities, is up to God. Thus, involvement in Islamist involvement, of whatsoever type, cannot decide whether a person is a supporter or not. Additionally, the Sayyid Qutb’s ideas point out that Islamic researchers like Abul Ala Mawdudi were incorrect in their postulation that the human malfunction has directed to misinterpretation of the Sunna and Qur’an. The motive is that the word of God, given in the Qur’an, was not once lost and continually exists to Muslims. In that way, a century-long misapprehension of the greatest vital Islamic literatures must be omitted as the cause for the existent of a jahili association. The scholars determined that Mawdudi’s deduction concerning the idea of jahiliyyah was improper, and therefore took away another philosophical basis of the extremists.

Lastly, the concept of God’s total dominion on the planet was evaluated. The preachers evaluate that Islamic decree, sharia, are not permanent but give room for suppleness and presents men a capability of decision-making in the guideline of societal existence (self-will). As long as this self-will does not disrupt religious responsibilities, it does not test divine supremacy or God’s dominion. Moreover, employing God’s decree to Muslims’ every day existences is significant and ultimate. They disputed that it will be too far realization to bring into line worldly laws in an inflexible manner according to the code of God’s dominion and sharia with no additional excogitation.

Both literatures signify the contrasting sides of the un-bridgeable ideological breach amid the extremist and modest factions. There was no opportunity for concession or likelihood of reconciliation. Amalgamation was not a choice. Therefore, the focus on Muslim Brothers concerning whether to go along the reasonable or the extremist path lied on the extremists themselves. They get members to imprison themselves no knowing to select the non-violent substitute to the extremist and inflexible pathway of the Qutbists. There were only a few extremist disciplinarians that might be persuaded to return to the reasonable fold. Eventually, this philosophical head-to-head compelled all Muslim Brotherhood members to make a choice for or against bigger extremism. It turns out to be obvious that al-Hudaybi and Qutb followed the similar objective of an Islamic national by dissimilar methods, based on their philosophical stand-point — training versus aggression.

2.3 Terrorism during and after Mohammed Morsi regime

Taking after the 2011 Egyptian turmoil and fall of Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood was legalized and was from the start and became extremely effective, overwhelming the 2011 parliamentary election and winning the 2012 presidential outcome, before the armed force tumbled President Mohamed Morsi after a year, and took action against the Brotherhood.

On 30 April 2011, it propelled another gathering called the Freedom and Justice Party, which won 235 of the 498 seats in the 2011 Egyptian parliamentary outcome, significantly more than other parties. The gathering rejected the “appointment of ladies or Copts for Egypt’s administration”, however not for bureau positions. The Muslim Brotherhood’s competitor for Egypt’s 2012 presidential choice was Mohamed Morsi, who crushed Ahmed Shafiq—the last PM under Mubarak’s standard with 51.73% of the vote. Some abnormal state supporters and previous Brotherhood officials have repeated danger to Zionism, albeit amid his fight Morsi himself guaranteed to remain for tranquil relations with Israel. Inside a brief time, genuine open resistance created to President Morsi. In late November 2012 he “briefly” conceded himself the ability to administer without legal oversight or survey of his demonstrations, in light of the fact that he required to “ensure” the country from the Mubarak-time power structure. He likewise put a draft constitution to a submission that adversaries grumbled was “an Islamist coup.” These issues—and concerns over the indictments of writers, the unleashing of ace Brotherhood possess on peaceful demonstrators, the continuation of military trials, new laws that allowed detainment without legal audit for up to 30 days, and the appearing exemption given to Islamist radical assaults on Christians and other minorities brought a huge number of nonconformists to the roads beginning in November 2012.

By April 2013, Egypt had “gotten to be progressively isolated” between President Mohammed Morsi and “Islamist partners” and a resistance of “moderate Muslims, Christians and liberals. Adversaries blamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood for looking to force issues happen, while Morsi’s partners say the restriction is attempting to destabilize the nation to destroy the chosen leadership”. Adding to the agitation were extreme fuel deficiencies and power blackouts which confirmation recommends the consequence of Morsi’s botch of the economy.

On 3 July 2013 Mohamed Morsi was captured and kept by the military, following a prevalent rising of a large number of Egyptians requesting the abdication of Morsi. There were additionally restricted counter-challenges in backing of Morsi. On 14 August, the military announced a month-long highly sensitive situation and initiated assaults against Brotherhood challenge settlements. Roughness heightened quickly and prompted the passing of in excess of 600 individuals and harm of in the range of 4,000, the most exceedingly terrible mass killing in Egypt’s present day history. In countering Brotherhood supporters robbed and blazed police headquarters and many churches. The crackdown that took is the most noticeably bad for the Brotherhood’s association “in eight decades”. On that day Supreme Leader Mohammed Badie was arrested, crossing a “red line”, as even Hosni Mubarak had never captured him. On 23 September, a court announced that the gathering is prohibited and its benefits seized. Prime Minister, Hazem Al Beblawi on 21 December 2013, announced the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist association after an auto bomb tore through a police assembling and killed more than than 14 individuals in the city of Mansoura, which the legislature faulted for the Muslim Brotherhood, nevertheless no proof and a Sinai based dread gathering guaranteeing obligation regarding the attack. On 24 March 2014, an Egyptian court sentenced 529 parts of the Muslim Brotherhood to death. By May 2014, more or less 16,000 individuals (and as high as more than 40,000 by one free count), for the most part Brotherhood parts or supporters, have been detained since the coup.

2.4 The Controversy

Before the ideal time in power, the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) and its united Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) were the subjects of contention, which proceeded after the July 2013 military overthrow. Numerous endeavors to undermine the association started after the solid execution of Muslim Brotherhood associated between the 2005 parliamentary choices, when the Mubarak administration’s state media called the Brotherhood secret and illegal. These debates would keep amid Morsi’s chance in power. For instance, the Muslim Brotherhood made various strides that were exceptionally dubious furthermore assented to or upheld crackdowns by the military amid Morsi’s presidency. Amid the Muslim Brotherhood’s opportunity in force, as a rule the association’s activities seemed to play into the negative generalizations that numerous Egyptians had of the association. Case in point, before the unrest, the Muslim Brotherhood’s supporters showed up at a challenge at Al-Azhar University wearing military style fatigues, and the Mubarak administration censured the association for beginning an underground militia. During now is the right time in power, the Muslim Brotherhood did without a doubt attempt to secure outfitted gatherings of supporters and looked for authority authorization for its parts to be armed. Therefore, a large number of the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood helped the picture that faultfinders of the association were attempting to pass on. On the other hand, it ought to additionally be noted that there was critical media scope from stations, for example, only that could be contended to have been some piece of a huge exertion – whether composed or awkward – to attack the association.

2.5 The differences between Islamic brotherhood practices and Islamic practices

Where the Brotherhood contrasts is in its system for confronting the test of advancement. Affected by the instructing of Sayyid Qutb, it embraced a method for change which captivates deliberately with the cutting edge world and creates arrangements which captivate with innovation in every measurement of life. The Brotherhood is more beguiling in dialect and appearance than Islamic practices. Islamic practices have a tendency to be separatist and can give the impression of being centered upon individual religious devotion, which differentiates them from the individuals who don’t impart their convictions. Islamic practices likewise have a tendency to talk utilizing devout religious language, making few concessions to the informative standards of others. This is reflected in their way of dress, which surrenders nothing to common style sense. Conversely the Brotherhood’s methodology is to infiltrate and change western establishments, with a definitive point of realizing the same end as the Islamic practices. The Brotherhood may appear to be more businesslike and obliging than Islamic practices, yet this is minimal more than a key strategy on their part, not proof of a major contrast in extreme objectives. Fraternity ideologues can be exceptionally talented in changing their talk to suit their gathering of people; however this is not a workmanship Islamic practice.

Steady with its objective of infiltration and change, Brotherhood belief system cooperates straightforwardly with and challenges western thought. It is sure about current science, and has created ideological positions on difficulties postured by cutting edge financial and political substances. It has solid speak to and earnestly enlists Muslim experts and savvy people, including specialists and researchers – a significant number of them western-taught – who have helped a considerable lot of its pioneers, and when it is capable the Brotherhood can work as a state inside a state, with it constitution, instructive framework, and laws. Fellowship belief system has made note of and absorbed present day western philosophies, for example, the thought of insurgencies. It utilizes western ideological terms; for example, vote based system however reinterprets their intending to reference its final objective of sharia execution. Case in point in this feature, amid late races, President Morsi was addressed about proclamations of Brotherhood pioneers for implementing jizya, the biased expense paid by Christians living under sharia law. He answers that this was taken outside the realm of relevance. Christians living under Islam, Morsi said, have a larger number of rights than they figure it out. Morsi additionally clarifies that the Islamic state by definition satisfies the goals of a common society: “the Islamic state is by need, need – let the West hear – a common express, a moderate express, a majority rule state; there is no contrast in the middle of shura and vote based system”. (Shura is discussion as imagined by Islamic law.) A right translation of Morsi’s message is that when the Brotherhood tells western pioneers that it is agreeable to majority rules system, what it truly means is that it is resolved to maintain a strict application of the Islamic sharia. Despite the fact that Islamic practices scrutinize the Brotherhood for making an excess of lodging to non-Muslim thought, Brotherhood ideologues defend their plans on Islamic grounds, by speaking to the case of Muhammad.

A key thought taught by Brotherhood philosophy is that of the Phases or Stages of Da’wa, or “declaration” of Islam. In view of the model of Muhammad’s own prophetic profession, the Brotherhood’s belief system is that in executing Islam there is a God-given grouping of stages to be taken after. From the beginning there is the less unmistakable, even shrouded, phase of developing people in their confidence. At that point a group is framed with related establishment building. At long last there will come the suspicion of force for the purpose of Islam, whether through continuous political procedures or, if vital, jihad. As per this model, Brotherhood philosophy stresses that military jihad is a system for the later phases of the usage of Islam, generally as it was in Muhammad’s own particular prophetic vocation. Hence, until the Islamic development achieves the suitable stage, Brotherhood teachings about jihad may be downplayed or hid, particularly before the eyes of pariahs. Interestingly Islamic practices have a tendency to be considerably more forthright and proud in displaying their teachings. They are a ‘what you see is the thing that you get’ development. Like the Brotherhood, they embrace the principle of stages focused around Muhammad’s case, yet look to structure and keep up an unadulterated Islamic group all through all phases of creating Islam, which requests a consistency and virtue in their open message to their body elector

3.0 Other Terrorists Group

3.1 Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS)

It is an Islamic movement that is radical and the word mean zeal. It became vigorous in the initial phases of the intifada, functioning mainly in the Gaza- District but then again Samaria and Judea.

Al-Qaeda has accomplished many raids on targets it taken as Kafir. Amongst the Syrian-civil-war, al-Qaeda groups began combating each other, as well as the Kurds and administration. Al-Qaeda has assaulted citizen and armed targets in numerous nations, comprising the September 11 incidents, 1998 US consulate bombings and the 2002 Bali-bombings. With the demise of main leaders, concluding to the death of Osama-bin-Laden, al-Qaeda’s processes have decentralized from activities that were regulated from the top-down, to activities by franchise related collections, to activities of lone-wolf operators.

Distinguishing methods utilized by al-Qaeda comprise suicide-attacks and concurrent bombings of dissimilar targets. Events attributed to it might comprise members of the association, who have taken an oath of trustworthiness to Osama-bin-Laden, or the much more many “Al-Qaeda-connected” persons who have undertaken training in one of its campsites in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan and Iraq, but who have not taken any oath. Al-Qaeda philosophies visualize a complete breakdown from all foreign effects in Muslim nations and the formation of a new international Islamic faction. The Al-Qaeda’s aim is to convict Christians and Jewish. They have believed that killing is accepted in Muslim religion. They as well assimilated sectoring on the Muslim such as the Sadr bombings, Ashoura Massacre, Baghdad bombings in 2007.
