Sweden have been too deluded to acknowledge her ignorance regarding non-European extremists like the Muslim Brotherhood.

The biggest winner of the Swedish elections was the populist anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, which had a strong showing of nearly 21%, its best result ever. The party gained on promises to crack down on shootings and other gang violence that have shaken a sense of security for many in Sweden.

The party has its roots in the white nationalist movement but many years ago began expelling extremists and racists. Its rebranding and stance against all kinds of extremism made them the second biggest political party in Sweden.

I have lived in Sweden for 19 years. When I came to Sweden in 2003, there were no problems like we see today. Today, Sweden has enormous problems with organized crime, radical Islam, segregation, and addiction among other things. For decades, our parliament did nothing to reverse the destructive trend. 

I feel sorry for the youth that have to grow up in segregated areas, I feel sorry for the moms that have to bury their children because of violent crimes. For natural reasons, I feel very angry at the Swedish establishment. They have done nothing to battle Islamism, they have done nothing to battle organized crime, they have done nothing to secure Sweden’s border. They have not even wanted to throw out migrants who have committed serious crimes such as murder and rape. If you kill someone as a guest in Sweden, you should be deported! Sweden’s Democrats are good because they want this. 

Behind the success of the Sweden Democrats was that they managed to identify the failed policies and shortcomings of many political parties: their inability to discuss the link between excessive migration and its effects on the already failed integration. With immigration as a common thread, they have since established themselves as Sweden’s second largest party by attracting workers from the Social Democrats, entrepreneurs from the Moderate party and in principle won the countryside from the Center (farmers) Party.

Another reason for the Sweden Democrats success is that Sweden as a nation have failed at combating Islamism, especially the Islamism of the Iranian regime and the Muslim Brotherhood. The sad truth is that the Islamists of Sweden, are slowly turning Sweden into a Muslim Brotherhood’s safe haven, creating massive problems with integration and other kind of problems with the large number of Muslims that have come to Sweden the last two decades. 

The Swedish establishment have been extremely naive, for decades they thought Islamists have the same values as the common Swede. But the truth is that islamists don’t have the same traditions, values and customs as the rest of us, and Sweden have been too deluded to acknowledge her ignorance regarding non-European extremists like the Muslim Brotherhood.

But the truth is that you don´t have to be a rocket scientist to acknowledge that Islamic extremists are irrational, selfish, greedy, backward and have a ignorant mentality, as seen in the new Swediesh-Turkish political Islamist party Nyans. 

Sweden Democrats think criminals and Islamists ought to leave Sweden, and that Sweden really ought not to allow herself to be either effaced or changed in principle by those people. 

The demographics do not advise large Islamist immigration and certainly advocate unrelenting and focused efforts to naturalize them into becoming citizens who are happy and proud to be Swedish. Otherwise, they think mass deportation and cancellation of citizenship of Islamists and gangsters is a sound policy for the benefit of everyone in the future.

I myself believe that radical reforms are needed to fight crime in the country that has the most shootings in Europe, and which, according to some reports, is the West’s largest exporter of jihadists per capita.

The Islamists – especially those within the Muslim Brotherhood have been representing Muslims and Islam for decades. This have led to politicians within the Sweden Democrats like Richard Jomshof  to talk about the threat from Islam, instead of the threat from Islamism. 

This could easily change – with some education. I’m sure if Jimmie Åkesson or Richard Jomshof met in person with for example, Saudi intellectuals like Salman Al-Ansari or even better, His Excellency Adel al-Jubeir – then they would see that true Muslims are more alike than different. They would also have been able to see and hear how the Muslim world has fought Islamism—which they have done in a much harsher way than what the Sweden Democrats have suggested so far, for example, throwing out their own citizens if they are violent extremists.

Saudi Arabia has also for a long time warned about Islamist extremism supported by Turkey, Qatar and Iran, the type of Islamist extremism that has taken root in Sweden. Here the Sweden Democrats and Sweden as a country have a lot to learn.

Right-wing does not necessarily mean racist, white supremacist, or German fascism. I hope the majority of the trouble-making Islamists are repatriated or those refusing to integrate but Islamise against Sweden’s values will get deported, and that’s why I voted for Sweden Democrats in the Swedish elections.

The Muslim Brotherhood association with the Qatari regime helped accelerate the MB plans, thanks to the limitless funds by Qatar.

The 9/11 attacks of September 2001 were not a single secluded event, the attacks tie into past and present events, and the players who believe in the extremist Islamist ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sayed Qutb.

Among the strongest believers in the teachings of the Muslim Brotherhood was the Iranian Supreme leader Imam AlKhomeini.

The image below shows the love and cooperation between Sayed Qutb and Mahabati Nawab Safawi who was one of the most important players in the Khomeinist revolution.

Now you can see that the Sufi Muslim Brotherhood and the Shiite Iranian regime were never enemies, in fact they were best of friends, unlike how they are shown to be in the main stream media.

The Pan Arab Baathism, PLO, Mufti Husayni’s Arab Nazis and Socialist all are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood in very complex ways and relationships of power structures that are built on hate and ideas of racial, religious and sectarian supremacy.

By early 1999, Al-Qaeda was already a potent adversary of the United States, but since the early 90s both Saudi Arabia and Egypt who are America’s allies in the Middle East were the main targets of this terrorist group in the Middle East.

Osama Bin Laden and his chief of operations, Abu Hafs al Masri, also known as Mohammed Atef, occupied undisputed leadership positions atop Qaeda’s organizational structure.

Within this structure, Qaeda’s worldwide terrorist operations relied heavily on the ideas and work of enterprising and strong-willed field commanders who enjoyed considerable autonomy.

To understand how the organization worked and to introduce the origins of the 9/11 plot, I briefly examined three of these subordinate commanders: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) 9/11, Riduan Isamuddin (better known as Hambali) Bali bombing, and Abd al Rahim al Nashiri USS Cole.

We will focus on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called chief leader of the “planes operations”. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, no one exemplifies the model of the terrorist fanatic leader more clearly than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The principal architect of the 9/11 attacks.

KSM followed a rather tortuous path to his eventual membership in Al-Qaeda. KSM a highly educated and equally comfortable in a government office job in Qatar and a terrorist asset to the Qatari regime at the time.

KSM applied his sick and twisted imagination, technical aptitude, and administrative skills to hatching and planning an extraordinary array of terrorist schemes.

These ideas included conventional car bombing, political assassinations, aircraft bombing, hijacking, reservoir poisoning, smuggling Al-Qaeda key members into other countries using Qatari passports and, ultimately, the use of aircraft as missiles guided by suicide soldiers.

Like his nephew Ramzi Yousef (three years KSM’s junior), KSM grew up in Kuwait but traces his ethnic lineage to the Baluchistan region straddling Iran and Pakistan. Raised in a religious family, KSM joined the Muslim Brotherhood at age 16.

KSM and Ramzi both became enamored of violent jihadist ideology at youth camps in the Kuwaiti desert organized by the Muslim Brotherhood of Kuwait in the early 80s.

KSM left Kuwait to enroll at Chowan College, a small Baptist school in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. After a semester at Chowan, KSM transferred to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, which he attended with Yousef’s brother.

KSM earned a degree in mechanical engineering in December 1986. Although he apparently did not attract attention for extreme Islamist beliefs or activities while in the United States. KSM plunged into the anti-Soviet Afghan Jihad soon after graduating from college.

Visiting Pakistan for the first time in early 1987, he traveled to Peshawar, where his brother Zahid introduced him to the famous Afghan Mujahid Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, head of the Hizbul-Ittihad El-Islami (Islamic Union Party).

The Hamas Connection—Sayyaf became KSM’s mentor and provided KSM with military training at Sayyaf’s Sada camp. KSM claims he then fought the Soviets and remained at the front for three months before being summoned to perform administrative duties for Abdullah Azzam.

KSM then took a job working for an electronics firm that catered to the communications needs of Afghan groups, where he learned about drills used to excavate caves in Afghanistan.

Between 1988 and 1992, KSM helped run a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Peshawar and Jalalabad, sponsored by Sayyaf. He was finally in, as a man the Islamists can trust and invest in his ambitious and successful business practices.

NGO’s play a significant role in the financing and logistics support for terrorist organizations. NGO’s is a tool in the arsenal of terrorism that yet to be successfully controlled by world governments fighting terrorism because of how complex they tend to be.

The NGO, KSM worked for was designed to aid young Afghan mujahideen. In 1992, KSM spent some time fighting alongside the mujahideen in Bosnia and supporting that effort with financial donations. After returning briefly to Pakistan, he moved his family to Qatar.

The rise of the new terrorist dynamic, Qatar, Iran and Muslim Brotherhood Europe setup for the domain of the Middle East and the world

KSM finally found his calling and moved to Qatar at the suggestion of his good friend the former minister of Islamic affairs of Qatar, Sheikh Abdallah bin Khalid bin Hamad al Thani who saw the huge potential of KSM as a power piece to further expand the Qatari influence.

KSM took a position in Qatar as project engineer with the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water, in what was a clear cover job for KSM. KSM engaged in extensive international travel during his tenure at the ministry much of it in furtherance of terrorist activity.

KSM used his position to expand the Qatari network of “NGO’s” and would hold his position there until early 1996, when he fled to Pakistan with the aid of the Qatari government to avoid capture by U.S. authorities.

After Hamad Bin Khalifa assumed role in Qatar a huge spike in terrorism around the Middle East and the world spiked, the Muslim Brotherhood association with the Qatari regime helped accelerate the MB plans, thanks to the limitless funds by Qatar.

The first attack on American soil was carried by the Palestinian 69-year-old Palestinian immigrant Ali Hassan Abu Kamal opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building killing a Danish musician and injuring six other people before committing suicide.

The Mostar attack that was carried out by Al-Qaeda, and targeted Croatian civilians and policemen as retribution against the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), which had fought Muslim forces for control of the city during the Bosnian War.

In Deir el-Bahari, Egypt, six Islamist gunmen from the MB military arm Gamaat Alislam Iya massacred 58 foreign tourists and four Egyptians at the Temple of Hatshepsut.

Uyghyr separatists bombed three buses in Ürümqi, killing nine people, including three children, and injuring 74. Another bomb was found at Ürümqi’s main railway station but was defused.

Coimbatore bombings took place in 1998 in India. 13 bombs exploded over the course of two hours in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, killing 58 people. The bombs were planted by Islamic extremists Al Ummah organization and were meant to target Hindus as well as Hindu nationalist leader L.K. Advani.

Two United States Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania were bombed by members of Al-Qaeda and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad an Muslim Brotherhood affiliate. 224 people were killed in the blasts (213 in Nairobi, 11 in Dar es Salaam) and over 4,000 people were wounded.

According to the Federal Security Service, the bombings utilized a mechanical mixture of Aluminium powder and Ammonia nitrate as the explosive.

Hezbollah’s favorite bombing method and one of their most commonly used to carry on attacks.

The terrorists have received instruction in training centers run by Khattab and Basayev in Chechnya.

1999 Tashkent bombings: Six car bombs targeting government buildings and Uzbek president Islam Karimov exploded over the course of an hour and a half.

1999 Jessore bombings: Islamist group Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami used two time bombs to attack Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi, killing 10 people and injuring another 150.

The paradigm shift in terrorism, the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide efforts are aligned: The target is America

In December 1999–January 2000. Hambali accommodated KSM’s requests to help several veterans whom KSM had just finished training in Karachi Pakistan.

They included Tawfiq bin Attash, also known as Khallad a handler who organize, recruit and carry on directive and administrative roles for Al-Qaeda attacks, he later would help bomb the USS Cole, and the future 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar.

A three-day-long meeting was held in the hotel room of Yazid Sufaat, a former Malaysian Army captain and businessman, in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

The summit’s purpose was to plan future attacks, which included the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the 11 September 2001 attack plot. The attendance consisted of Arab veterans of the Soviet–Afghan War.

Among the most notable was Hambali a Pakistani senior leader of Al-Qaeda, Ramzi bin al-Shibh a Yemeni, and a “key facilitator for the September 11 attacks”, Nawaf al-Hazmi a Saudi fighter, Khalid al-Mihdhar a Yemeni-Saudi fighter, and Tawfiq bin Attash a handler for Al-Qaeda.

Before the meeting, the United States intercepted a telephone call to Yemen by al-Mihdhar concerning arrangements for the trip. Osama bin Laden had called that number dozens of times.

On request of the CIA, the Malaysian authorities videotaped the meeting, but no sound recordings were made. Are you frigging kidding me?

The men were also photographed when they came out of the meeting. American investigators did not identify these men until much later. That Bin al-Shibh attended the meeting, and it was discovered by the investigators by looking into his credit card records.

Sufaat was later arrested, but he denied that he knew any of the men and said that Hambali had arranged the meeting.

Do look at the facts, the planner of the 911 attack was a Pakistani with ties to Qatar KSM, the facilitators were Yemanis Attash and AlShibah, and the recruiting was done by a German Syrian Mohammed Haydar Zammar who was part of the Hamburg cell.

The German Connection

On November 1, 1998, future-hijackers Mohamed Atta an Egyptian member of Al-Qaeda and the leader of the hijackers, Marwan al-Shehhi an Emarati hijacker-pilot of United Airlines Flight 175, and Ramzi bin al-Shibh a Yemeni facilitator for AlQaeda moved into an apartment together on Marienstraße.

Here they formed the secretive Hamburg cell, which also included other participants in the 9/11 plot including Mohammed Haydar Zammar who recruited the hijackers.

They met together three or four times a week to discuss their strategy and the anti-American and anti-Israeli views that enabled them to recruit foot soldiers.

The 9/11 Commission Report notes in Chapter 5 that, “According to Bin al-Shibh now in U.S. custody, a chance meeting on a train in Germany caused the group to travel to Afghanistan instead. An individual named Khalid al Masri (or Khalid al-Masri) approached bin al-Shibh and Shehhi (because they were Arabs with beards, bin al-Shibh thinks) and struck up a conversation about jihad in Chechnya.

“When they later called Masri and expressed well in going to Chechnya, he told them to contact Abu Musab in Duisburg. Abu Musab turned out to be Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a significant Al-Qaeda operative who, even then, was well known to U.S. and German intelligence, though neither government apparently knew he was operating in Germany in late 1999”.

For me, that’s the load of non-sense as the sequence of events shows it was planned. Moreover, it makes no sense since Abu Musab is a key player and leading figure of Al-Qaeda who is well recognized since the med 80s, he was also on the most wanted lists of Saudi, Egyptian and American intelligence agencies at the time.

9/11 Hijackers and the Recruiter

Zammar’s family moved to Germany when he was 10, and he first tried to participate in armed conflict in 1982, far earlier than has previously been reported.

He traveled to Jordan in an attempt to enter Syria to join the armed wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Fighting Vanguard, which was engaged in an earlier uprising against the ruling Assad family.

He was turned back by the Jordanian authorities, but on the trip he met a man who would play a big role in his future: Mohammed al-Bahaiya, known as Abu Khaled al-Suri, who would later become a key figure in the current Syrian war.

Over the next decade, Zammar moved through the militant-Islamist circuit, traveling regularly to Afghanistan, volunteering for a stint with al-Qaeda-affiliated militants in the war in Bosnia and visiting London where he befriended the Jordanian Palestinian preacher Abu Qatada, a prominent figure long suspected by the United States of having links to Al-Qaeda.

Meanwhile, Zammar was developing a circle of followers at Hamburg’s al-Quds mosque, which had become a magnet for young Muslims in the city and eventually the hub of radicalization of young men and recruiting them as cannon fodder in the service of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Zammar says he failed to qualify as an imam or preacher at the mosque because he was unable to memorize the Koran, but he held regular gatherings with small groups of the men who went there to pray, seeking to convince them that they had a duty to wage jihad on behalf of Muslims worldwide and to travel to Afghanistan for military training.

The first member of the Hamburg cell, he remembers meeting Ramzi Binalshibh a known facilitator that outrank Zammar. Next he met Mohamed Atta, the hijackers’ ringleader, who piloted the first of the two planes that struck the World Trade Center towers.

Zammar recalls Atta as a “good guy” with “high moral standards”. Then came the others: Marwan al-Shehhi, a citizen of the United Arab Emirates who steered the plane that struck the second tower. Ziad Samir Jarrah, the Lebanese who piloted the plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers overpowered the hijackers, and four others from the group whom Zammar also persuaded to travel to Afghanistan.

Zammar says, “It was not easy. It took time. They were studying at the university”, he said. “I was telling them, for example, someone is going to attack you, your honor, your property, while you cannot even use a pistol. There is no country in the world that does not have an army to defend itself, while we Muslims do not”.

Notice his words are that aligned with the creed of the Muslim Brotherhood. Zammar claims he didn’t know, obviously he is lying.

The hijackers arrival to the United States and the attacks of 9/11 zero hour

The first hijackers to arrive in the United States were Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who settled in San Diego County, California, in January 2000.

They were followed by three hijacker-pilots, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah in mid-2000 to undertake flight training in South Florida.

The fourth hijacker-pilot, Hani Hanjour, arrived in San Diego in December 2000. The rest of the “muscle hijackers” arrived in early- and mid-2001. Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi were both experienced and respected jihadists in the eyes of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

As for the pilots who would go on to participate in the attacks, three of them were original members of the Hamburg cell (Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah).

Following their training at Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, they were chosen by Bin Laden and al-Qaeda’s military wing due to their extensive knowledge of western culture and language skills, increasing the mission’s operational security and its chances for success.

The fourth intended pilot, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, a member of the Hamburg cell, was also chosen to participate in the attacks yet was unable to obtain a visa for entry into the United States. He was later replaced by Hani Hanjour, a Saudi national.

Mihdhar and Hazmi were also potential pilot hijackers, but did not do well in their initial pilot lessons in San Diego. Both were kept on as “muscle” hijackers, who would help overpower the passengers and crew and allow the pilot hijackers to take control of the flights.

In addition to Mihdhar and Hazmi, thirteen other muscle hijackers were selected in late 2000 or early 2001. All were from Saudi Arabia, with the exception of Fayez Banihammad, who was from the United Arab Emirates.

The Root of all Evil

Please watch this video for the conclusion of what all I said. The root of all evil are Iran and Qatar.

It’s very evident and quite obvious that, a Muslim Brotherhood or popularly known as Ikhwanul-Muslimeen in the Arab world was the back-bone in terms of ideological upbringing and the armed-support of the terrorists and terrorist organizations. The international communities have to wake up to this reality and collectively defeat this ideology in order to defeat modern terrorism.

All because of the political Islamic parties and organizations that have clearly committed the largest historical crime against the Islamic religion…

For the first time in the history of the European continent, Austria recently announced the intention to create a new criminal offense termed “political Islam”. This step came as part of a series of anti-terrorism actions following the terrorist attacks in the Austrian capital, Vienna, which killed five people and injured about 20.

Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz stated clearly on his personal Twitter account: “We will create a criminal offense called ‘political Islam’ in order to be able to take action against those who are not terrorists themselves, but who create the breeding ground for them”.

Several media outlets have indicated that a new law will be enacted in Austria with the aim of keeping convicted terrorists behind bars for life, while maintaining those convicted of terrorism-related crimes under electronic surveillance upon their release, in addition to criminalizing religiously motivated political extremism.

In the aftermath of the latest terrorist attacks, anxiety over political Islamist groups among Europeans is mounting significantly. A survey conducted by the British Chatham House Institute found that most Europeans oppose the continuation of Muslim immigration into their countries due to security concerns brought about by terrorist incidents.

The survey’s results, published a while ago, included more than 10,000 citizens from ten European countries, 55 percent of whom responded with a “yes” to the suggestion: “Immigration from Muslim-majority countries must be banned”.

These ten European countries were Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Britain, Hungary and Poland. Whilst some of these countries, such as France, Belgium and Britain, are home to large Muslim communities, their voice against embracing Muslim immigrants has not faded. The strongest opposition came from Poland, where about 71 percent of participants were against harboring Muslim immigrants.

The specifics of the survey were even more interesting than its overall results, as they showed that senior citizens oppose Muslim immigration more than other age groups. While 44 percent of participants, aged between 18 and 29 were pro banning Muslims from entering their countries. On the other hand, the 63 percent of participants who were pro the ban, were aged 60 and up.

The survey also showed that “the educational level played a visible role in the outcome of these results, with 59 percent of participants who have basic education supporting Muslim immigration, compared to 48 percent who hold university degrees. Yet, one in two people with higher education wants to ban Muslims from entering their countries. Meanwhile, sex and place of residence had a minor impact: as 57 percent were men and 52 percent were women. Importantly, residents of big cities were slightly more open than those of small ones and rural areas by 52 percent, compared to 55 percent and 52 percent, respectively”.

Europeans today feel that they are paying for the mistake of having been the most welcoming people in the world to third world immigrants in the last century, all because of the political Islamic parties and organizations that have clearly committed the largest historical crime against the Islamic religion and its followers around the world.

Although some European politicians and decision-makers have not yet grasped the public opinion opposing Muslim immigration, they will do so sooner or later. And when that time comes, not only will Europe officially close its doors to Muslims, it will also abandon the principles of the last century, and no one can blame it for that, as security was, and will always be, above all.

The peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel has put a heavy stone in the stagnant geopolitical pool of the Middle East and the world.

I do not think that the attempts of betrayal and the attack on the UAE will surprise anybody who is familiar with the behavior of the merchants of the (Palestinian) “issue,” as well as the political charlatans, and marketers of crises and tensions!

Of course, they are well known. They are the Arab leftists and the Islamist ideologues who hail from the Brotherhood’s flock and their ilk.

Along with them, are those who were paid Qatari and Turkish money, and the mullahs of Iran who have been trading with the Palestinian issue since the transformation that was brought about by the regime of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979.

Unfortunately, no one will escape from the caustic tongues of these groups, which feed on fickleness and hypocrisy, except those who believe in their false ideologies and slogans and take pleasure in their discordant and twisted ways.

You can imagine the volume of blatant hypocrisy, marketed by Turkish President Erdogan, which was taken as truth by the mob!

He is issuing a threat of withdrawing his country’s ambassador from Abu Dhabi and suspending relations with it, but at the same time his ambassador has fun in Tel Aviv and consolidates full diplomatic relations and substantial military and commercial cooperation with Israel.

Is it not the height of contradiction, lies, hypocrisy and laughter in one’s beard? Or, “Is it true that those who are afraid of Israel or to have ties with it are no more?!”

The agreement, which was announced in Washington, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi last Thursday, is a major diplomatic breakthrough in the region, whether these hypocrites are satisfied with it or not, and its major fruit is Israel’s agreement to cancel a plan to annex territories from the West Bank to Israel.

It has also established one of the most important pillars of the Arab Peace Initiative, namely the two-state solution, which over the past years seemed to be the cause for revolt for the Israeli rightists, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, with an eye on electoral gains.

It is truly regrettable that the followers of the school of “Qumism” and “Ikhwanism” have reached the point of calcification to the extent of prohibiting the combination of nationalism and the sovereignty of each of the states belonging to the Arab nation.

It is a school that not only misrepresents history, geography and logic, but is also under the illusion that it is still tied with outdated slogans with the same sway that it had exercised decades ago.

As for the proponents of the “ideology” that is trying to hijack religion in diverse cloaks, they will not like anything until they alone have the authority to decide the fate of peoples and sovereignty of states.

One of the tragedies of the Arab situation is that these two losing trends enunciate the enemies of Arabs and Arabism, such as Iran and its militias in the region, and Turkey and its expansionist plans.

As an active Arab country, the UAE has the right to define its policies and directives for its foreign relations in line with its sovereign decisions and strategic interests.

The announced agreement between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv does not contain any prejudice to Palestine and the future of the Palestinians. The announcement does not involve any interference in the Palestinian affairs.

Rather, it sets red lines for any policy, which Israel might pursue, to usurp the rights of the Palestinian people. It also averts the prospect of annexation of Palestinian territories, together with consolidating the two-nation solution.

The UAE is not the first Arab country establishing relations with Israel in public. Egypt preceded it and thus managed to restore the Sinai Peninsula to its sovereignty. It was followed by Jordan, which put an end to one of its most important national security risks by reaching an understanding with Israel.

As far as the “Hamadain” of Qatar are concerned, such things had happened in their case too. For them, there is nothing wrong with what is happening under the table and inside closed rooms, whether in Doha or Tel Aviv, and its channel, Al-Jazeera, had in the beginning molded itself in the lines of Israeli televisions.

And there is the one who has had the oldest relationship with Israel, although his government falsely raises the banner of support for Palestine. He is none other than the crazy man of Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He was tipped as the “Spoiler of Tel Aviv” to the point of agreeing to Israeli appeasement with financial compensation and for them to treat him exhaustively in all his activities!

The time for bargaining is over… and Erdogan must ask himself first before starting his usual yelping: With an embassy in his capital where an Israeli flag is flying on a mast in its building, and his commercial relations are the largest with Israel, in which way did he benefit the Palestinians?

What is certain is that the Emirati decision is bold. The UAE has not violated the right of anyone. Rather, it has exercised its sovereign right and acted openly, in front of everyone, under the broad daylight, in a way that serves the stability of the region and breaks the stalemate that has been hindering the Middle East Peace Train. Enough, stop the bids in the name of the “issue.”

Op-ed piece taken from Saudi Gazette’s Opinion section.

These are pure political gimmicks to keep the show running and satiating the thirst for power…

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Friday, a court’s decision to annul the Hagia Sophia’s museum status, which will pave way to restore it as a mosque.

Hagia Sophia was originally a Greek church (Santa Sophia), which was made as a mosque in 1453 by Ottoman rulers. However, in 1934 after Turkey got international recognition it was made as a museum.

Now, Turkish court has paved a way to restore it as a mosque, but this decision has provoked Christian majority countries like Greece, and it may pose danger to Muslims living as minorities in Christian-dominant countries like that of Spain.

Muslims in Spain’s Córdoba have been struggling for years to get permission to pray in their former mosques. Sometimes they send requests to Vatican to help them get permission. Moreover, the far-right Christian groups in Spain object the proposals, citing the condition of Christian communities living in Muslim countries.

Don’t you think Turkey’s latest move will provoke Christians against Muslim minorities?

Interestingly, if you ask these people who support this move, if it’s permissible in Islam to convert any worship place into mosque? The obvious response will be “NO”. And they will come up with a lot of narrations from Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and his companions about the prohibition of the act.

In fact, the famous incident of second caliph of Islam Umar al-Khattab is cited. When he conquered Jerusalem. He jumped out of a church when informed about the place, and prayed outside. When asked why he did that, he replied that he was afraid that future generations would make that as a practice to convert non-Muslim places of worship into mosques.

More interestingly, all of these rejoicers will cite how peaceful Islam is, and how it doesn’t allow converting other places of worship into mosques. And the logical reasons will be given that this will provoke the other communities to attack Muslims living in minorities.

Unfortunately, they fall for the Erdogan’s political gimmick. The way India’s ruling party used the Ayodhya’s disputed land case that is Ram Temple vs. Babri Mosque to appease the majority and grab the Hindu-vote bank, in order to hide the raising questions on demonetization, mob-lynching, and the run-away business typhoons. Majority of the people were on cloud nine with the court’s decision to restore Ram temple at the disputed place.

You would observe that Erdogan and his party following the same pattern to sell the Hagia Sophia case in 2023 elections to gain sympathy and appeasement of the Muslims, while brushing off the failures of falling Lira, deteriorating health care and education system, and Erdogan’s foreign policies.

Superficially, the conversion of Hagia Sophia to mosque will appeal and attract a lot of Muslims worldwide, who may see Erdogan as a future Muslim leader, but they fail to see and realize the ulterior motives Erdogan pose as a danger to the Muslim countries especially the Arab nations, which are trying to regain from the aftermath of the so-called “Arab Spring”.

These are pure political tactics to exude shallow machoism with the thirst for power, while jeopardizing the status of Muslims living as minorities outside Turkey.

The book is the English translation of the original book in Urdu language “Jamaat-e-Islami ko Pehchaniye” compiled by Hakim Ajmal Khan Junior which was published after the growing menace of the organization.

JI was formed by a radical Islamist socio-political philosopher Abul Ala Maududi in 1941 during British rule in India, after the terror-outfit Muslim Brotherhood popularly known as “Ikhwanul-Muslimeen” was formed in Egypt in 1928.

The translator of the book Ejaz Ahmed Khan, who currently resides in Jubail Industrial city of Eastern province of Saudi Arabia, said, “this book will benefit our Muslim brothers who have been influenced by Jamaat-e-Islami but not have been fully informed of its ideology”.

“Maulana Maududi was a revolutionary figure, but his views, ideology and creed weakened the very foundations of the religion”, Khan added.

Khan said that some of the Jamaat-e-Islami adherents have stealthily infiltrated into the existing religious, social, and religious institutions to increase their influence, hence this book will be a litmus test to clear “the truth from falsehood”.

Khan also highlighted how the radical ideology of Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami led to the miscalculated revolts in Muslim countries, which eventually led to wars and massacres.

Basically, the book revolves around the religious deviance of Maududi, rather than his political deviance. However, it’s said that his twisted religious deviance caused the political deviance.

The book cites Maududi’s refutations from famous Islamic scholars of the past namely Sanaullah Amritsari, Abul Kalam Azad, Hafiz Mohammed Gondhalvi, Mohammed Daud Raz and others.

It also highlights JI’s symbiotic relationship with extremist ideologies especially Iranian Khomeinism.

Secretary of the Markaz Abu Mohammed Maqsud Alauddin Sain said, “I pray to Allah that He guide the youth to read this book and get familiarized with the pure Islam and know the reality of political Islam, and not to be trapped in their deceptive talk”.

“The book is available for free download and for fair use, to protect the youth from misguidance”, Khan said.

The MB capitalized on the victim card to retain and expand their place in Europe…

While the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) radical ideas have shaped the beliefs of generations of Islamists, Jihadists and terrorists groups, over the past seven years, it has lost some of its power and appeal in the Middle East, crushed by swift decisive political and security awareness from A4 governments.

Since the MB rise to power in Egypt and snubbing by younger generations of Non-Islamists who helped bring them to power, the MB lost credibility as the driving force for change in the Middle East, in fact they became a full fledged dictatorship.

But the Middle East is only one scene of the Muslim world domination plan in their pursuit to restoring the Ottoman Empire.

Europe has become an incubator for Islamist thought and political development. Since the early 1960s, MB members and sympathizers have moved to Europe and slowly but steadily established a wide and well-organized network of mosques, charities, and Islamic organizations.

Unlike the larger Islamic community, the Muslim Brotherhood’s ultimate goal is not helping Muslims be the best citizens they can be, but rather to extend Islamist ideology throughout Europe and the United States and infiltrate judiciary and legislative branches of governments.

Through four decades of teaching, grooming and cultivation paid off. The student refugees who migrated from the Middle East forty years ago and their descendants now lead organizations that represent the local Muslim communities in their engagement with Europe’s political elite, funded by diverted charity money and generous contributors from their wealthy members and others working in the Arabian Gulf States, they preside over a centralized network that spans nearly every European country.

These Muslim Brotherhood represent themselves as mainstream tolerant Muslims, even as they continue to embrace the Islamist radical views and maintain links to terrorists.

The Islamist grew their influence by maintaining false moderate rhetoric and well-spoken German, Dutch, and French, they have gained acceptance among European governments and media alike.

Politicians across the political spectrum rush to engage them whenever an issue involving Muslims arises or, the MB successfully started gaining positions in the political scene as aids and allies the political elite rely on to secure votes of the Muslim community.

But those tolerant and peace loving Islamist drop their facade and embrace radicalism when speaking Arabic or Turkish in front of their followers. While their “face” representatives like community leaders, future politicians and influential figures speak about interfaith dialogue and integration on television, their mosques preach hate and radicalized worshippers using the evil west analogy while they publicly condemn the terrorist attacks, they continue to raise money for Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations.

MB capitalize on Europeans, eagerness to create a dialogue with their Muslim communities, political correctness forced politicians to overlook this duplicity in fear of cancel culture, that’s particularly visible in Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The MB capitalized on the victim card to retain and expand their place in Europe, the MB slowly but surely started to rebranding themselves distancing themselves from extremist groups and Islamist labels in public and sticking to it secretly.

What sets the MB apart from other political groups is their ability to adapt, circumvent, absorb crises and move towards new paths for it through their deep theoretical and ideological beliefs and its Machiavellian focus on the end that justifies the means.

From decline in Egypt and Syria in the 1960s to renewed activity in Europe and GCC states via old platforms such as the Islamic Group in Germany (GID) that was founded in 1958. The German branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe founded by the MB Godfather in Europe the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, Said Ramadan in 1958, and was chaired by the German-Egyptian Ibrahim Al-Zayat.

The Federation of “Islamic” Organizations in France, which was established in 1989 and the existing formations as well as some new pocket organizations funded by the State of Qatar in the early 2000s and indirectly managed by the Brotherhood, such as the ANELD Fund which was established and funded by Qatar with a total of one hundred million euros in coordination with the French government, to finance entrepreneurship projects for “Muslims” in the most marginalized suburbs of Paris that successfully lured the children of immigrants from the second and third generations into the fold of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Islamists quietly infiltrating democratic institutions and normalizing their ideas are the real threat that must be recognized and addressed.

After the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) defeat in the Middle East, the MB quickly made use of the west’s political correctness and repositioned their foothold in European Union (EU) through one of their offshoots — The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE)—it was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1989.

FIOE subsequently created the European Council for Fatwa and Research, a pan European Muslim Brotherhood organisation which provides guidance to Muslims in Europe.

The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) lead the Muslim Brotherhood plans of creating a “parallel social structure” in Europe, aided by “political elites and social justice advocate groups” making it impossible to criticise Islamist groups in fear of criticism
MB aims to organise Islamist followers politically across the Europe and slowly bring their own members into the political spheres of Europe.

The group has set its eyes on Sweden as the current political leaders are obsessed with political correctness, inclusion and diversity.

The European far right’s racist and extremely unpopular sentiment is playing into the hands of the MB as more and more people with good intentions will support the MB false message of “tolerance”, “diversity” and “inclusive society”.

The Swedish arm of the MB is the Islamic Association of Sweden (IFIS) state on their website state that they are members of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) which is listed as terrorist organization by the Arab Quartet.

When a debate started in 2014 on making it illegal for Swedish citizens to travel to other countries to participate in Jihad i.e. terrorism, the Muslim Human Rights Committee claimed that such a law would be racist.

Furthermore, they argued that people who fought in “Jihad” (ISIS fighters) abroad were not even a threat against Sweden.

In my opinion—Islamists quietly infiltrating democratic institutions and normalizing their ideas are the real threat that must be recognized and addressed.

Former IFIS chairman Abdirizak Waberi represented the second largest party, the Moderate Party, in parliament between 2010 and 2014—more like him will follow as they take over the parliament and then completely control the legislative branch of government.

Islam and Islamic teachings are not Islamist, while Islam is the faith of 1.4 billion people.

Islamism is not a form of the Muslim faith or an expression of Muslim piety, it is a political group that seeks power through political manipulation, infiltration and extremist agendas.
