The Chicago Trib carries the story. Excerpts:
Over the last 40 years, small groups of devout Muslim men have gathered in homes in U.S. cities to pray, memorize the Koran and discuss events of the day.
But they also addressed their ultimate goal, one so controversial that it is a key reason they have operated in secrecy: to create Muslim states overseas and, they hope, someday in America as well.
These men are part of an underground U.S. chapter of the international Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamic fundamentalist group and an organization with a violent past in the Middle East. But fearing persecution, they rarely identify themselves as Brotherhood members and have operated largely behind the scenes, unbeknown even to many Muslims.
Still, the U.S. Brotherhood has had a significant and ongoing impact on Islam in America, helping establish mosques, Islamic schools, summer youth camps and prominent Muslim organizations. It is a major factor, Islamic scholars say, in why many Muslim institutions in the nation have become more conservative in recent decades.
Documents obtained by the Tribune and translated from Arabic show that the U.S. Brotherhood has been careful to obscure its beliefs from outsiders. One document tells leaders to be cautious when screening potential recruits. If the recruit asks whether the leader is a Brotherhood member, the leader should respond, “You may deduce the answer to that with your own intelligence.”
[T]he group began in 1928 as an opposition movement to the British-backed Egyptian monarchy. Its founder and leader was schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna, who advocated a return to fundamental Islam as a way to reform Muslim societies and expel Western troops.
The Brotherhood slogan became “Allah is our goal; the Messenger is our model; the Koran is our constitution; jihad is our means; and martyrdom in the way of Allah is our aspiration.”
Over time, the Brotherhood gained notoriety for repeatedly attempting to overthrow the Egyptian and Syrian governments and for spawning violent groups, including the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian group Hamas.
In recent months Akef, the international Brotherhood leader, repeatedly has praised Palestinian and Iraqi suicide bombers, called for the destruction of Israel and asserted that the United States has no proof that Al Qaeda was to blame for the Sept. 11 attacks.
A U.S. chapter of the Brotherhood, documents and interviews show, was formed in the early 1960s after hundreds of young Muslims came to the U.S. to study, particularly at large Midwestern universities, such as Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Some belonged to the Brotherhood in their homelands and wanted to spread its ideology here.
But to protect themselves and their relatives back home from possible persecution, they publicly called themselves the Cultural Society and not the Brotherhood.
Not anyone could join the Brotherhood. The group had a carefully detailed strategy on how to find and evaluate potential members, according to a Brotherhood instructional booklet for recruiters.
Leaders would scout mosques, Islamic classes and Muslim organizations for those with orthodox religious beliefs consistent with Brotherhood views, the booklet says. The leaders then would invite them to join a small prayer group, or usra, Arabic for “family.” The prayer groups were a defining feature of the Brotherhood and one created by al-Banna in Egypt.
But leaders initially would not reveal the purpose of the prayer groups, and recruits were asked not to tell anyone about the meetings. If recruits asked about a particular meeting to which they were not invited, they should respond, “Make it a habit not to meddle in that which does not concern you.”
Leaders were told that during prayer meetings they should focus on fundamentals, including “the primary goal of the Brotherhood: setting up the rule of God upon the Earth.”
Mustafa Saied, the Floridian who left the Brotherhood six years ago, recalls how he was recruited in 1994 while a junior at the University of Tennessee.
“It was a dream, because that’s what you’re conditioned to do–to really love the Ikhwan,” Saied says, using the Arabic term for Brothers or Brotherhood.
After he joined, he learned the names of other local members.
“I was shocked,” he says. “These people had really hid the fact that they were Brotherhood.”
Inamul Haq, professor of religion at Benedictine University in Lisle, Ill., says the U.S. Brotherhood pushed Islam in a conservative direction. “They were in a position to define American Islam. Since they were well-connected in the Middle East, they were able to bring money to build various institutions.”
Without the Brotherhood, he says, “We would have seen a more American Islamic culture rather than a foreign community living in the United States.”
In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.
Some wanted the Brotherhood to remain underground, while others thought a more public face would make the group more influential.
They agreed not to refer to themselves as the Brotherhood but to be more publicly active.
An undated internal memo instructed MAS leaders on how to deal with inquiries about the new organization. If asked, “Are you the Muslim Brothers?” leaders should respond that they are an independent group called the Muslim American Society. “It is a self-explanatory name that does not need further explanation.”
And if the topic of terrorism were raised, leaders were told to say that they were against terrorism but that jihad was among a Muslim’s “divine legal rights” to be used to defend himself and his people and to spread Islam.
But MAS leaders say those documents and others obtained by the Tribune are either outdated or do not accurately reflect the views of the group’s leaders.
Now, he says, his group has no connection with the Brotherhood and disagrees with the international organization on many issues.
But he says that MAS, like the Brotherhood, believes in the teachings of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, which are “the closest reflection of how Islam should be in this life.”
“I understand that some of our members may say, `Yes, we are Ikhwan,'” Elsayed says. But, he says, MAS is not administered from Egypt. He adds, “We are not your typical Ikhwan.”
MAS says it has about 10,000 members and that any Muslim can join by paying $10 a month in dues.
But to be an “active” member–the highest membership class–one must complete five years of Muslim community service and education, which includes studying writings by Brotherhood ideologues al-Banna and Qutb.
There are about 1,500 active members, including many women. Elsayed says about 45 percent of those members belong to the Brotherhood.
MAS’ precise connection to the Brotherhood is a sensitive issue, says Mohamed Habib, a high-ranking Brotherhood official in Cairo.
“I don’t want to say MAS is an Ikhwan entity,” he says. “This causes some security inconveniences for them in a post-Sept. 11 world.”
At a summer camp last year in Wisconsin run by the Chicago chapter of MAS, teens received a 2-inch-thick packet of material that included a discussion of the Brotherhood’s philosophy and detailed instructions on how to win converts.
Part of the Chicago chapter’s Web site is devoted to teens. It includes reading materials that say Muslims have a duty to help form Islamic governments worldwide and should be prepared to take up arms to do so.
One passage states that “until the nations of the world have functionally Islamic governments, every individual who is careless or lazy in working for Islam is sinful.” Another one says that Western secularism and materialism are evil and that Muslims should “pursue this evil force to its own lands” and “invade its Western heartland.”
In suburban Rosemont, Ill., several thousand people attended MAS’ annual conference in 2002 at the village’s convention center. One speaker said, “We may all feel emotionally attached to the goal of an Islamic state” in America, but it would have to wait because of the modest Muslim population. “We mustn’t cross hurdles we can’t jump yet.”
Federal authorities say they are scrutinizing the Brotherhood but acknowledge that they have been slow to understand the group.
(Warning: The Chicago Trib is one of those execrable “Registration Required” sites.)
This is profoundly disturbing. The more I learn aboutIslam, the more I find myself questioning the often said phrase that this is a peaceful theology.
I actually sympathize with these Muslims and what they’re trying to undertake.
The falseness of their beliefs notwithstanding, it is incumbent on those possessing the true religion that they strive to orient the world’s nations towards the true religion.
That’s exactly what we Catholics SHOULD be doing. According to traditional Catholic teaching, a nation whose citizens are mostly Catholic must itself be a Catholic nation, granting favor to the Church and actively aiding her mission of converting the world. No one can be compelled to accept the True Faith, and heresy must sometimes be tolerated, but nevertheless we Catholic Americans whould pray for the day when our country, like the Roman EMpire 1600 years ago, adopts the True Faith.
It is becoming clear to me that the only way to stem and reverse the tide of Islamic fundamentalism is to increase the strength of the tide of evangelisation.
Modern atheist humanist culture holds no appeal to God-fearing people. There is nothing in modern MTV culture that could supplant Islam in the hearts of its followers. Indeed, it only feeds the flame of radical Islam.
Only Christianity can direct them to the true God and true peace.
I like reminding Muslims that, as Thomas Macauley put it, the RCC was ancient and respected “when idols were still being worshipped in Mecca.”
Islam is just another new-fangled fad, albeit one with a violent twist, that will keep its grip only on the hearts of the fallen.
And that’s the truth . . . .
Growing up, I recall grandparents and uncles warning about sleeper agents from China and Russia who would be activated on cue by their Communist masters at some point in the then not-so-distant future. We had sleeper agents all right.
Eric is right about the need for a new evangelization (though that doesn’t preclude a role for the military in rooting-out the Islamic menace).
As I’ve recommended countless times on St. Blogs, buy Robert Spencer’s and Daniel Ali’s “Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics” and understand what motivates adherents of the world’s second largest religion.

RULE #3 VIOLATION.
FANATICAL RAVINGS DELETED.
IF YOU WANT TO PERSUADE PEOPLE THAT MUSLIMS ARE TO BE LOOKED ON FAVORABLY, YOU NEED TO ENGAGE THEM IN DIALOGUE AND NOT JUST POST SCREEN AFTER SCREEN OF DISCONNECTED QUOTATIONS FROM THE QUR’AN. THAT’S NOT TALKING LIKE A REASONABLE HUMAN BEING. THAT’S RAVING LIKE A FANATIC.
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT A CHRISTIAN WHO WENT ON A MUSLIM BOARD AND, WITHOUT *TALKING* TO ANYONE, SIMPLY POSTED SCREEN AFTER SCREEN OF DISCONNECTED QUOTATIONS FROM THE BIBLE? NOT MUCH, I’D WAGER.
Maybe combox character limits are a good thing after all…
As a Muslim, this post of yours I find very humourous. I’m not going start preaching or being offensive or start critising your beliefs. Because that will not achieve anything. You have to take it upon yourself to relaise what is right and wrong.
Aslamu’ Aliakum (Peace be upon You)
Interesting comments;
the person that posted first didnt really elaborate as to why he finds such posts contradict the essential teaching that Islam is a peaceful theology.
Hasan al Banna’s initial aims as the founder of Brotherhood, are nothing but logical. Why should the egyptian people have to passively put up with british colonial occupation? it is only natural that there will be opposition.
As for its stance on israel, the establishment of israel and the conflicts thereafter between arabs and jews are the product of british policy at the time.. anyone that has any little knowledge of the region’s history will testify to this.
Islam is not violent, but in the face of occupation and injustice it is not passive either. Islam is about siding on the side of the Truth, even if its against your own selves.
“Islam is not violent…” Tell it to the Visigoths.
Dude get a life. I know muslims and none are any more violent, crazy or whatever. The fact is, if you have not actually talked with one you shouldn’t be commenting. I am sure that the only Muslims you hear about are on TV. Get outta hick mode and stop being a friggin redneck…
Wow! Intelligent! Logical!
(Hope the sarcasm came through).
Sorry Infidel, but a religion, that was created and exists as an enemy of Catholicism (or what is left of it, the west) is not to be taken and play patty cake with. They hate us, and the ones that don’t are pretty much like our cafeteria catholics, lukewarm and egocentric, ideals don’t matter and certainly a lack of combative spirit.
And I am not a redneck, not even North American( by blood anyways) and I still HATE it as we are supposed to. They are enemies of the Church, and enemies of the Church will get their dues.
And to love God you must hate evil.
I wish first their conversion, as some bravely do and accept their martyrdom in their oppresive, and anti-Catholic societies, but for the ones that don’t, the year is up and its time to cut the fig tree.
Hey, An American Infidel, “if you have not actually talked with one (of us), you shouldn’t be commenting” about us.
(Oh, how I love throwing their own words back at them!)
“I know muslims and none are any more violent, crazy or whatever.”
Osama bin laden, saddam hussein, arafat, ‘muky’ al sadar, etc. THe list is almost endless.
“The fact is, if you have not actually talked with one you shouldn’t be commenting. I am sure that the only Muslims you hear about are on TV. Get outta hick mode and stop being a friggin redneck…”
The fact is, if you have not actually talked with a hick, you shouldn’t be commenting. I am sure that the only rednecks you hear about are on TV. Get outta yankee mode and acting like being a crazy PC liberal.
Ban all girly men to an island!!!! 🙂
Matthew 5:39-46
Luke 6:27-37
“I know muslims and none are any more violent, crazy or whatever.”
Actually, I know this one girl from college who was actually Muslim and she was NOTHING like the sterotype that’s presented nowadays.
If I weren’t so staunch in my Catholic beliefs, I would’ve actually gone on to having relations with her.
Thank you, Esau, for providing the operative word — “stereotype”.
Luke 6:37
Esau,
Why not use your masculine charms and wiles and convert the poor lass…save her from a life of praying to the wrong God, etc.?
Besides, your characterization of your lady friend is pretty close to that of most Muslim folks I know…they eat only halal and pray when they are supposed to, but they also have American girl friends, and live/sleep/consort with them like they are married to them…very few are the Orthodox true believer types we see on T.V. …most have been thoroughly westernized, and thoroughly act the part, and could really use a run-in with the Holy Spirit. Food for thought.
Actually, one of the most striking features about her (not only her looks, mind you) was the fact that we were so much like the other (except in religion, of course) in the passionate manner we held our very beliefs (as well as regards other aspects of our lives), I couldn’t help but be attracted to her.
Now, if only she was Catholic though! <=^) I just wonder how our children would've turned out if we had actually gone through with it especially in the case where you would've essentially had a passionate Catholic and a passionate Muslim married to each other. Oh well - c'est la vie!
Some Day writes:
I wish first their conversion…but for the ones that don’t, the year is up and its time to cut the fig tree.
By “cut the fig tree” what exactly do you mean? Do you support forcibly converting people to Catholicism? Or do I miss your meaning?
By “cut the fig tree” what exactly do you mean?
I think Some Day was alluding to the Gospel from Sunday.
Smoky,
You’re not Catholic are you?
You’re not Catholic are you?
I was born and raised Catholic, but I stopped practicing in early college and now consider myself agnostic but interested.
These are the relevant passages from Sunday’s Gospel that I believe Some Day was alluding to:
Lk:13:7-9
7 And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and I find none. Cut it down therefore. Why cumbereth it the ground?
8 But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it.
9 And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
About your other remark:
…but I stopped practicing in early college…
I can relate to this. College is often an eye-opener for many of us.
Esau,
Fatima was named after a Muslim woman who converted and married a Portuguese Prince. After she died the Prince changed the name of the village (I forget the name) to its current name: Fatima.
Coincidence?
Fine that it’s an allusion to the Gospel, but that doesn’t answer what he meant by it — what does “time to cut the fig tree” mean in relation Muslims who won’t convert…the statement troubles me, so I’m hoping for a clarification.
Esau,
Believe me, that kind of gamble with ones life, by thinking of a devout Catholic, like yourself, marrying a Moslem, Buddhist, Esoteric New Ager, even a Protestant, is not worth the risking!
Basically it’s begging for misery from the very beginning!
After all the passion wears off there would probably be nothing left but spiritual conflict, harsh bickering, competition over who-teaches-which-kids-what, an endless,but continually unfulfilled, desire to convert the other.. and countless other evils!
People are often attracted to others with extremely different beliefs, often with a ‘far fetched’ idea that ONE DAY ‘the other’ is going to ‘see the light’, recognise the intrinsic Holiness of Jesus through them, be converted, and come to know the True God. The problem is, that if it doesn’t work, you have then foolishly spent your time, future and life on a losing situation. Bitterness, therefore and spiritual suffering would be in store for decades to come!
Really, it is hard enough for couples who belong to the One True Faith to keep everything peaceful and happy! The vanities, jealousies, concerns for money,different outlooks on houshold authority, different visions of the mission of the Church, and a legion of other worldly concerns, causes stress even among relatively faithful Catholics, much less people of extremely varying, and even heretical, beliefs!St. Paul wasn’t kidding when he said that there would be hardships, sufferings and trials in marraige!
Just condider how you and John often squabble over theological topics! When the beauty of your spouse loses 60% of it’s charm, after the first few years of marraige, you might just end up being married to something like a female version of John! That is, arguing almost every free moment in Bold Capitals, on almost any topic before you! …and not only concerning RELIGION! Esau, this kind of squabbling, bichering and fighting happens in marraige! Don’t kid yourself. You need to try to find someone who is very faithful to Christ, and someone who will respect, love and understand your deeply Catholic spirituality and faith. Only here do we find that true Catholic peace in marraige. The rest is only bickering, torment and a heavy cross in the midst of your own home!
Knowing that you have some Latin blood from former posts, and presuming that you already probably have some knowledge of Spanish, you have a whole country filled with nice, humble, and beautiful, Catholic woman, here in the Dominican Republic, to choose from! I married one and am pretty happy with my marraige..even though my wife belongs to the Neo Catechumenal Way. And even though we are both Catholics, this little difference with the NCW causes quite a bit of conflict in the family. But just think of the potential conflict if your spouse wasn’t even Catholic…it’s hard to concieve!! Really it’s best to ‘play it safe’ so to say. And if you need to find many good cathoic woman to choose from, then trying a Catholic foreign country, like the D.R., really isn’t such a bad idea! It worked for me!
Great info (and point) there, Dr. Eric!
Yet, it’s very difficult to convert a Muslim though — especially one who’s very much devoted to her faith as you are to yours.
I often remember the many conversations we would have where we would simply enjoy each other’s company so much that we would actually laugh at the stupidest things!
(Mind you, this girl’s a ‘genius’ when it came to the sciences!)
However, when it came to the topic of religion (even barely touching its very periphery), we often both became quite stubborn in our resolve.
Esau,
Believe me, that kind of gamble with ones life, by thinking of a devout Catholic, like yourself, marrying a Moslem, Buddhist, Esoteric New Ager, even a Protestant, is not worth the risking!
Actually, A. Williams, it was my Protestant friends at the time that discouraged my going further in the relationship.
They were trying to explain (from their perspective on the matter) that if we did go through with it, just how confused would the children be when raising them in such a family where there were such heavily conflicting beliefs.
Then there’s the problem of how to raise the children. Catholic of Muslim? “Jesus is God”. “No he’s not.” Children of Disparity of Cult Marriages may get the idea that religion isn’t all that important (“Hey, if you and mom thought religion was important, you would have married people of the same Faith”).
Shoulda bin “Catholic or Muslim”. Sigh.
A. Williams,
Point of clarification…as I’ve stated before, if you thought the “John” comments above were from the John who oft uses the capital/bolded letter for effect, you are thinking of another John…
Besides my comments were meant as a tongue-in-cheek, good humored jab at Esau…I meant him no ill will, and empathize with his unrequited love scenario.
Peace
bill912, you hit it on the spot!
I believe that’s what they were driving at.
In the end though, I’ve got to admit, I think I was merely looking for reasons to be with her.
It didn’t help at all that she was cute and had a great personality.
Besides my comments were meant as a tongue-in-cheek, good humored jab at Esau…I meant him no ill will, and empathize with his unrequited love scenario.
It wasn’t so much unrequited love as it was a Muslim/Catholic incompatibility.
We were more than willing to be with each other.
The question was — at what cost?
Esau,
I almost ended up with a woman like that at one time. A very spiritual,intelligent but very confused (though she didn’t know it)girl from Siberia. She also formerly lived in a predominately muslim city, but believed highly in the Kabbalah. But…looking back…YOU DON”T KNOW HOW OFTEN I HAVE THANKED GOD THAT NOTHING CAME OF IT!!
Going Catholic with Catholic, I think now, is the ONLY wise move! It’s better to cross oceans for spousal faith, peace and compatibility, than live in perpetual spiritual conflict, no mattler how nice, intelligent or beautiful a woman is while dating! Life is long! Devout Catholic + Devout Catholic is really the only SANE option! The rest is, as said before, a huge gamble not worth the risk!
Going Catholic with Catholic, I think now, is the ONLY wise move!
I can certainly see where you’re coming from, A. Williams, and I very much appreciate the advice, but even dating fellow Catholics, one encounters just as critical a difficulty.
There was a Catholic I was seeing just last year who was a Charismatic yet the very beliefs she held (along with her faith community) was quite contrary to Traditional Catholic Teaching.
Now, I’m not saying that all Charismatics are like that (I’m sure there are actually those who faithfully adhere to the Teachings of the Church) — only that this particular girl I was seeing for a time was.
In fact, she hardly considered anybody who wasn’t Charismatic a true Catholic.
However, it is consoling if they can actually say “I love Jesus”.. as compared to any other creed.
Hey Esau,
Forget about that past you thought about.
God did not allowed it and it was for the best.
In our times, and I think maybe in all times, a young man risks much in trying to convert or even having a very “close”relationship with ladies. The same for the ladies. When you are looking for a woman to start a family, it is neccesary to have one supreme principle :Is she capable, compatible and willing to sanctify one another and your offspring.
If you stay off wondering in that romanticism like that of imagining what your children could have been, you’ll have a harder time in responding to your vocation (should marriage be it) and should you find a suitable spouse, it will not be as fruitful. I know you are a smart man. You put down some good comentary, and you gave me some good-intentioned advice. But when it comes to oneself, sometimes its hard to see the big stuff in our eyes.
As for Smoky, aw, you made me sad.
Never thought you were not a Catholic.
Remember, it is not too late.
You are still alive, and regardless of who it is, a confessor pronouncing the words of absolution, and your heart seeking repentance, God awaits for you.
As for my fig tree comment…
It simply means what the Church did in the past.
Accert Her unique right to exist and be the official Religion of the Nations.
The Truth has the right to exist.
All else can exist in the individuals heart.
But not pervert others.
There is where the problem is.
Free will is personal. Not interpersonal.

Some Day:
THAT was rather INSIGHTFUL!
In today’s world, relativism is such a virus that has affected almost each and every part of society, we’ve come to the point where we’ve lost sight on TRUTH!
In essence, a revolution against the order of the universe as God intended it to be.
Relativism is just one of the many spheres of action of this revolt.
Living together as a Catholic and Muslim spouse and spousee is certainly possible. You just have to operate from a different set of assumptions, such as the idea that you could help her become a better Muslim, and she could help you become a better Christian. The possibilities are endless.
That is like the little mermaid, either you become human or the other a merman.
If you truly love another person, you want them to be a saint. And to be a saint, you must be Catholic, because only with the Sacraments can one follow God’s law.
You just have to operate from a different set of assumptions, such as the idea that you could help her become a better Muslim, and she could help you become a better Christian.
NewTrollObserver:
To be honest with you, I actually thought about that.
I was very open to that possibility back in my college days and especially when it came to her.
But, when the thought was brought to my mind by my Protestant friends (by the way, my Catholic friends could care less as much of them hardly even cared about their own faith) concerning the prospect of raising children (completely hypothetical of course), a certain realization hit me: just how much did my Faith really mean to me?
Did my faith really mean that little to me that I would actually risk not raising my children in it?
Also, after much further consideration (this involved much serious thought on my part, mind you), in the end, I think I was more infatuated with her looks primarily (although she had an awesome personality, I’ve got to admit!) than anything else.
It takes a Catholic man to adimit his weaknesses.
CHT to Esau!
Well how did the “Documents obtained by the Tribune and translated from Arabic” so conveniently got in Tribune’s hands when the FBI and the rest of our country’s investigative agencies failed to identify any such secret socieies? Or was it another Mossad/Israel/AIPAC fabrication like the “weapons of mass destructios of Iraq” and other hoaxes they have used to minupulate the American politicians and its people? So all this hysteria about the secret societies of Islam is another Abe Fox/ADL/AIPAC’s public affairs propaganda? It’s too many times these anti-American forces of Israel has cried wolf and it has so far failed to compell us to attach Iran under the same phoney weapons our forces found with Irani markings that are killing our forces. Or is that the Mossad and its operatives had planted those Irani weapons too? Whatever happened to those weapons? Why the Bush NeoCon criminals did not use them to trump up the phony charges through its convenient explotation of the UN?
Think and think carefully and see what is going on under our noses. Read Jonathan Pollard and the others and check some of the archives of the FBI to see who is our enimy.
