Muslim Brotherhood's papers detail plan to seize U.S.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Amid the mountain of evidence released in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial, the most provocative has turned out to be a handful of previously classified evidence detailing Islamist extremists' ambitious plans for a U.S. takeover.

...

A 1991 strategy paper for the Brotherhood, often referred to as the Ikhwan in Arabic, found in the Virginia home of an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, describes the group's U.S. goals, referred to as a "civilization-jihadist process."

"The Ikhwan 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 God's religion is made victorious over all other religions," it states. This process requires a "mastery of the art of 'coalitions,' the art of 'absorption' and the principles of 'cooperation.' "

...

The evidence introduced in the Holy Land trial is "an unprecedented inside look into the history of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States," said Douglas Farah, who spent two decades as a foreign correspondent for news outlets including the Washington Post and now consults with think tanks on counterterrorism issues.

...

The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of Hamas ... The Brotherhood remains active in many parts of the world, dedicated to increasing fundamentalist Islamic influence. A key goal is to place nations under Shariah.

Shariah is a Muslim system of rules and laws based on the Quran that govern all aspects of life, including food, dress and religious tithing, or zakat. In nations living under Shariah such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, there is little or no distinction between religion and state. In its most fundamental form, Shariah also mandates harsh criminal punishments, such as stonings and cutting off thieves' hands.

...

Counterterrorism officials say that regardless of what anyone thinks of the Holy Land documents, the threat from radicals outside and inside the U.S. is real. A common belief among law enforcement and government officials is that after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and post-9/11, radicals have retreated underground.

"People who harbor the secret desire for the U.S. to become more Islamic are not going to announce themselves in the current climate," said Jeff Breinholt, a 17-year Justice Department official...

...

Mahdi Bray, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation, which promotes Muslim civil rights, called the Holy Land documents "a throwback." He has attended portions of the Holy Land trial.

...

"I wouldn't be candid if I didn't say there weren't some old-timers who want to hold onto the old way, who say that this is the way the Ikhwan did it, this should be our model," he said. "We said 'So what? It doesn't work here.' We've been very adamant about that."

Shariah stinks.

oh no! now they're gonna fatwa vj...

Actually, there is no one sharia, and practicing Muslims use sharia in everyday life anyway. What most mean when they use the term "sharia" to try to stir up fear is the hudd laws, which most Muslim countries dont even use.

BTW, a fatwa is nothing more than a legal OPINION, which not any ole body has the legitimacy to issue. It has no power to dictate anyone to do anything unless they are either under the jurisdiction of the issuing authority or they simply choose to follow it.

Propagating ignorance of Islam and Islamic law plays straight into the hands of the extremists, and serves to promote their twisted views. They get a free ride everyday.
