Background Reading on Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood
If the dire predictions about Egypt’s impending descent into Islamic government turn out to be true, it would behoove Americans to read up on the group most likely to run the show. The Muslim Brotherhood can claim quite a few firsts in its 60+ year history. Among the lowlights:
- Assassination of Egypt’s Prime Minister in 1948
- Creation of the founding documents of modern political (i.e. radical) Islam
- Spawned other terrorist groups including Hamas, al Qaeda, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad
The Muslim Brotherhood is for the kind of radicals who want to end Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel and institute Sharia law as the measure of justice. For a full account of the Brotherhood’s history and actions, click here.
