    Muslim Brotherhood project exposed

    The Muslim Brotherhood "Project"
    By Patrick Poole

    One might be led to think that if international law enforcement
    authorities and Western intelligence agencies had discovered
    a twenty-year old document revealing a top-secret plan
    developed by the oldest Islamist organization with one of the
    most extensive terror networks in the world to launch a
    program of "cultural invasion" and eventual conquest of the
    West that virtually mirrors the tactics used by Islamists for
    more than two decades, that such news would scream from
    headlines published on the front pages and above the fold
    of the New York Times, Washington Post, London Times,
    Le Monde, Bild, and La Repubblica.

    If that's what you might think, you would be wrong.

    In fact, such a document was recovered in a raid by Swiss
    authorities in November 2001, two months after the horror
    of 9/11. Since that time information about this document,
    known in counterterrorism circles as "The Project", and
    discussion regarding its content has been limited to the
    top-secret world of Western intelligence communities. Only
    through the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain
    Besson of Le Temps, and his book published in October
    2005 in France, La conquĂȘte de l'Occident: Le projet secret
    des Islamistes (The Conquest of the West: The Islamists'
    Secret Project), has information regarding The Project
    finally been made public. One Western official cited by
    Besson has described The Project as "a totalitarian ideology
    of infiltration which represents, in the end, the greatest
    danger for European societies."

    What Western intelligence authorities know about The
    Project begins with the raid of a luxurious villa in Campione,
    Switzerland on November 7, 2001. The target of the raid
    was Youssef Nada, director of the Al-Taqwa Bank of
    Lugano, who has had active association with the Muslim
    Brotherhood for more than 50 years and who admitted to
    being one of the organization's international leaders. The
    Muslim Brotherhood, regarded as the oldest and one of
    the most important Islamist movements in the world, was
    founded by Hasan al-Banna in 1928 and dedicated to the
    credo, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader.
    Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of
    Allah is our highest hope."

    The raid was conducted by Swiss law enforcement at the
    request of the White House in the initial crackdown on
    terrorist finances in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. US
    and Swiss investigators had been looking at Al-Taqwa's
    involvement in money laundering and funding a wide
    range of Islamic terrorist groups, including Al-Qa'eda,
    HAMAS (the Palestinian affiliate of the Muslim
    Brotherhood), the Algerian GIA, and the Tunisian
    Ennahdah.

    Included in the documents seized during the raid of Nada's
    Swiss villa was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated
    December 1, 1982, which outlines a 12-point strategy to
    "establish an Islamic government on earth" - identified as
    The Project. According to testimony given to Swiss
    authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared
    by "Islamic researchers" associated with the Muslim
    Brotherhood.

    What makes The Project so different from the standard
    "Death of America! Death to Israel!" and "Establish the
    global caliphate!" Islamist rhetoric is that it represents a
    flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the "cultural
    invasion" of the West. Calling for the utilization of various
    tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration, surveillance,
    propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and
    terrorism, The Project has served for more than two
    decades as the Muslim Brotherhood "master plan". As can
    be seen in a number of examples throughout Europe -
    including the political recognition of parallel Islamist
    government organizations in Sweden, the recent "cartoon"
    jihad in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last
    November, and the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London - the
    plan outlined in The Project has been overwhelmingly
    successful.

    Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of
    group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect
    postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a
    multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate,
    confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination
    over the West. The following tactics and techniques are
    among the many recommendations made in The Project:

    ~ Networking and coordinating actions between
    likeminded Islamist organizations;
    ~ Avoiding open alliances with known terrorist
    organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance
    of "moderation";
    ~ Infiltrating and taking over existing Muslim organizations
    to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood's
    collective goals;
    ~ Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist
    actions, as long as it doesn't conflict with shari'a law;
    ~ Avoiding social conflicts with Westerners locally,
    nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term
    ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West or
    provoke a lash back against Muslims;
    ~ Establishing financial networks to fund the work of
    conversion of the West, including the support of full-time
    administrators and workers;
    ~ Conducting surveillance, obtaining data, and establishing
    collection and data storage capabilities;
    ~ Putting into place a watchdog system for monitoring
    Western media to warn Muslims of "international plots
    fomented against them";
    ~ Cultivating an Islamist intellectual community, including
    the establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups,
    and publishing "academic" studies, to legitimize Islamist
    positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist
    movements;
    ~ Developing a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance
    Islamist ideology throughout the world;
    ~ Balancing international objectives with local flexibility;
    ~ Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals
    and charitable organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals
    so that contact with the movement for Muslims in the
    West is constant;
    ~ Involving ideologically committed Muslims in
    democratically-elected institutions on all levels in the
    West, including government, NGOs, private organizations
    and labor unions;
    ~ Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until
    they can be converted and put into service of Islam;
    ~ Drafting Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for
    eventual implementation;
    ~ Avoiding conflict within the Islamist movements on all
    levels, including the development of processes for conflict
    resolution;
    ~ Instituting alliances with Western "progressive"
    organizations that share similar goals;
    ~ Creating autonomous "security forces" to protect Muslims
    in the West;
    ~ Inflaming violence and keeping Muslims living in the West
    "in a jihad frame of mind";
    ~ Supporting jihad movements across the Muslim world
    through preaching, propaganda, personnel, funding, and
    ~ technical and operational support;
    ~ Making the Palestinian cause a global wedge issue for
    Muslims;
    ~ Adopting the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and
    the creation of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for
    global Islamic domination;
    ~ Instigating a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims
    against Jews and rejecting any discussions of conciliation
    or coexistence with them;
    ~ Actively creating jihad terror cells within Palestine;
    ~ Linking the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global
    terror movement;
    ~ Collecting sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and
    support jihad around the world;

    In reading The Project, it should be kept in mind that it was
    drafted in 1982 when current tensions and terrorist activities
    in the Middle East were still very nascent. In many respects,
    The Project is extremely prescient for outlining the bulk of
    Islamist action, whether by "moderate" Islamist organizations
    or outright terror groups, over the past two decades.

    At present, most of what is publicly known about The
    Project is the result of Sylvain Besson's investigative work,
    including his book and a related article published last
    October in the Swiss daily, Le Temps, L'islamisme Ă* la
    conquĂȘte du monde (Islamism and the Conquest of the
    World), profiling his book, which is only available in a
    French-language edition. At least one Egyptian newspaper,
    Al-Mussawar, published the entire Arabic text of The
    Project last November.

    In the English-language press, the attention paid to
    Besson's revelation of The Project has been almost
    non-existent. The only mention found in a mainstream
    media publication in the US has been as a secondary
    item in an article in the Weekly Standard (February 20,
    2006) by Olivier Guitta, The Cartoon Jihad. The most
    extensive commentary on The Project has been by an
    American researcher and journalist living in London,
    Scott Burgess, who has posted his analysis of the
    document on his blog, The Daily Ablution. Along with
    his commentary, an English translation of the French
    text of The Project was s erialized in December (Parts
    I, II, III, IV, V, Conclusion). The complete English
    translation prepared by Mr. Burgess is presented in its
    entirety here with his permission.

    The lack of public discussion about The Project
    notwithstanding, the document and the plan it outlines
    has been the subject of considerable discussion
    amongst the Western intelligence agencies. One US
    counterterrorism official who spoke with Besson about
    The Project, and who is cited in Guitta's Weekly
    Standard ar ticle, is current White House terrorism
    czar, Juan Zarate. Calling The Project a Muslim
    Brotherhood master plan for "spreading their political
    ideology," Zarate expressed concerns to Besson
    because "the Muslim Brotherhood is a group that
    worries us not because it deals with philosophical or
    ideological ideas but because it defends the use of
    violence against civilians."

    One renowned international scholar of Islamist
    movements who also spoke with Besson, Reuven
    Paz, talked about The Project in its historical context:

    The Project was part of the charter of the international
    organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was official
    established on July 29, 1982. It reflects a vast plan which
    was revived in the 1960s, with the immigration of
    Brotherhood intellectuals, principally Syrian and Egyptians,
    into Europe.

    As Paz notes, The Project was drafted by the Muslim
    Brotherhood as part of its rechartering process in 1982,
    a time that marks an upswing in its organizational expansion
    internationally, as well as a turning point in the alternating
    periods of repression and toleration by the Egyptian
    government. In 1952, the organization played a critical support
    role to the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdul Nasser,
    which overthrew King Faruq, but quickly fell out of favor with the
    new revolutionary regime because of Nasser's refusal to follow
    the Muslim Brotherhood's call to institute an ideologically
    committed Islamic state. At various times since the July
    Revolution in 1952, the Brotherhood has regularly been banned
    and its leaders killed and imprisoned by Egyptian authorities.

    Since it was rechartered in 1982, the Muslim Brotherhood has
    spread its network across the Middle East, Europe, and even
    America. At home in Egypt, parliamentary elections in 2005
    saw the Muslim Brotherhood winning 20 percent of the
    available legislative seats, comprising the largest opposition
    party block. Its Palestinian affiliate, known to the world as
    HAMAS, recently gained control of the Palestinian Authority
    after elections secured for them 74 of 132 seats in the
    Palestinian Legislative Council. Its Syrian branch has historically
    been the largest organized group opposing the Assad regime,
    and the organization also has affiliates in Jordan, Sudan, and
    Iraq. In the US, the Muslim Brotherhood is primarily represented
    by the Muslim American Society (MAS).

    Since its formation, the Muslim Brotherhood has advocated the
    use of terrorism as a means of advancing its agenda of global
    Islamic domination. But as the largest popular radical movement
    in the Islamic world, it has attracted many leading Islamist
    intellectuals. Included among this group of Muslim Brotherhood
    intellectuals is Youssef Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based
    Islamist cleric.

    As one of the leading Muslim Brotherhood spiritual figures and
    radical Islamic preachers (who has his own weekly program on
    Al-Jazeera), Qaradawi has been one of the leading apologists
    of suicide bombings in Israel and terrorism against Western
    interests in the Middle East. Both Sylvain Besson and Scott
    Burgess provide extensive comparisons between Qaradawi's
    publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming
    Phase, published in 1990, and The Project, which predates
    Qaradawi's Priorities by eight years. They note the striking
    similarities in the language used and the plans and methods
    both documents advocate. It is speculated that The Project
    was either used by Qaradawi as a template for his own work,
    or that he had a hand in its drafting in 1982. Perhaps
    coincidentally, Qaradawi was the fourth largest shareholder
    in the Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, the director of which, Youssef
    Nada, was the individual in whose possession The Project was
    found. Since 1999, Qaradawi has been banned from entering
    the US as a result of his connections to terrorist organizations
    and his outspoken advocacy of terrorism.

    For those who have read The Project, what is most troubling is
    not that Islamists have developed a plan for global dominance;
    it has been assumed by experts that Islamist organizations and
    terrorist groups have been operating off an agreed-upon set of
    general principles, networks and methodology. What is startling
    is how effectively the Islamist plan for conquest outlined in The
    Project has been implemented by Muslims in the West for more
    than two decades. Equally troubling is the ideology that lies
    behind the plan: inciting hatred and violence against Jewish
    populations around the world; the deliberate co-opting and
    subversion of Western public and private institutions; its
    recommendation of a policy of deliberate escalating confrontation
    by Muslims living in the West against their neighbors and
    fellow-citizens; the acceptance of terrorism as a legitimate option
    for achieving their ends and the inevitable reality of jihad against
    non-Muslims; and its ultimate goal of forcibly instituting the Islamic
    rule of the caliphate by shari'a in the West, and eventually the
    whole world.

    If the experience over the past quarter of a century seen in Europe
    and the US is any indication, the "Islamic researchers" who drafted
    The Project more than two decades ago must be pleased to see
    their long-term plan to conquer the West and to see the Green
    flag of Islam raised over its citizens realized so rapidly,
    efficiently
    and completely. If Islamists are equally successful in the years to
    come, Westerners ought to enjoy their personal and political
    freedoms while they last.

    They are all terrorists in my book. And they need to take their stupid footbaths with them when they go.
