It is believed that the Muslim Brotherhood is concealing its religious message for the moment, amid a popular Arab revolt, that is allegedly not driven by either politics or Islam.
The organization made public its support for Mohamed ElBaradei, opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a secularist with Western democratic principles, as an intermediary president, if the Mubarak government was overthrown.
“The revolution does not belong to any one group. We are one country. It’s not just about the Brotherhood, at least not now; it’s about all Egyptians,” said Esam Shosha, a movement member.
Wahid Abdul Magid, an analyst at the Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo said “They don’t want to appear as if they’re using this revolt to seize power. What they want is free and fair elections to allow them to take power transparently.”
The Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s oldest and largest Islamic political group and most influential Islamist movement, has one goal. It is to infiltrate and overtake other Muslim organizations for the purpose of uniting all Muslims to the general aims of the brotherhood.
The organization’s beliefs are restrained in comparison with many of the world’s more militant Muslim organizations. However, it rejects the idea that a Christian, or a woman, could be made president of a Muslim country and would move a country’s laws toward harsher Islamic codes. It would certainly ban alcohol and topless beaches at the resort of Sharm el Sheik in Egypt. The organization also bans dancing and other such pastimes.
Islamic scholar and Sufi schoolteacher, Hassan al-Banna, who believed in reclaiming Islam’s manifest destiny, an empire reaching from Indonesia to Spain, formed the organization in 1928.
Their goal being to instill the Quarn and Sunnah as the ‘sole reference point for ordering the life of the Muslim family, individual and community and state’. Division has been created inside the organization, through its stand on no violence, as in general the organization opposes violence to achieve its aims.
The brotherhood was involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and helped in the usurping of secular Ba’athist dictators in Syria. The government of Egypt accused the organization of a campaign of killings in Egypt after World War II, as the group strongly objected to Western colonization. The Muslim Brotherhood was forbidden in Egypt, with members being jailed, in spite of the membership being kept a secret.
Osama bin Laden, while studying at university, says he was influenced by the political and religious beliefs of numerous professors, who had strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Qaeda has since condemned the brotherhood and accused them of ‘betraying the cause of Islam and abandoning the ‘jihad’ in favour of forming political parties and supporting modern state institutions’.
