Sadat's latest speech: A document exposing Brotherhood’s fakeness to the world

The US Congress has recently announced that the late Egyptian President Mohamed
Anwar Sadat was awarded its gold medal; in recognition of his historic
achievements and contributions to peace in the Middle East - as stated by the
Egyptian Embassy in Washington on August 23, 2018 [1]. This comes 100 years
after the birth of the late president and 40 years after the signing of the
peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
However, the paradox lies in the American reluctance to classify the Muslim
Brotherhood as a terrorist organization (2) as American circles that are
honoring Sadat today are living a similar story with the Brotherhood that
incited against him and contributed to his assassination.
The honoring of Congress to the late President Anwar Sadat is worthy because he
is one of the symbols that left its mark on the most important and most
dangerous events of contemporary history, and as a condemnation on the other
hand of common perceptions and fantasies that moved from the Egyptian scene to
the American one and vice versa, without focusing on the main lessons and
determinants when dealing with the Islamic Movement and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Common Illusions
President Sadat has preceded the United States
of America on embracing the illusions of benefiting from the weight of the
group in the Egyptian street, and its ability more than any other political
faction to influence the community and penetrate state institutions and the
army. He thought - as Washington thought before and later in the era of Barack
Obama - that the Muslim Brotherhood will protect him against the wave of
violence and religious extremism as well as the reduction of political
opponents within the leftist and Nasserist movement [3].
President Sadat did not realize what is common between the Brotherhood and the
groups, relying on the distinction between the two strategies adopted by the
Muslim Brotherhood and other groups in dealing with the regime. He also did not
pay attention to their sharing of the same ideological basics and goals. Three
decades after the assassination of President Sadat Washington embraced the same
hypothesis; when it believed that the group, which claims to bear the version
of moderate Islam will help curb the Islamic extremist groups.
President Sadat and the former American administration have seen that putting
aside the Muslim Brotherhood is necessary until the completion of higher
priority files, first and foremost by curbing political forces and opponents,
believing that the group will contribute to achieving this goal. One of the
reasons for Sadat's hesitation in arresting the members of the group - those
who are dangerous and whose number stands at 7,000 - was the fear of the
negative impression of the West, and the possibility of accusing him of
backtracking on the march of democracy.
Security and political problems
For the sake of his need for the Brotherhood
as a political backup, President Sadat went to alliance with right-wing forces,
led by the Muslim Brotherhood [7]. That caused a terrible imbalance between the
security file and the political track. He also ignored the security reports
that warned of tolerance with highly dangerous terrorists. "[8] A gap has
emerged between the political track and the security file, while both need
coordination and complementarity, because the political reality is not served
by its enemies and opponents from organizations that penetrate it to destroy it
from within.
This happened, although in both cases - Egyptian and American - there was an
awareness of the extremist Brotherhood's methods, violent practices and
reactionary ideology, as well as the nature of their objectives. Sadat, himself
a prominent member of the July 1952 revolution, wrote that the Muslim
Brotherhood group has clear objectives which is “the overthrow of us and the
seizure of power in Egypt. "[9] Documents recently declassified by the US
Intelligence Service under the title" Building Support Rules ",
dating back to 1986, reflect the nature of the Brotherhood's ideology, plans,
methods, alliances and objectives.
Egyptian writers and researchers have warned early on the nature of the
Brotherhood's plans to play on contradictions, radicalism, fanatical ideas and
armed cells, giving it space to expand. It does this while promoting the fact
that it is the alternative and guarantor of containment. US intelligence
documents point to this approach when they suggest that whoever belongs to the
Brotherhood is distributed on twenty-four extremist groups which are the
jihadist groups on the scene at the time.
The Brotherhood relies on the plan to divert the energies of the targeted state
to reduce the threat of armed organizations and declare unequivocally its
adoption of a comprehensive strategy of confrontation and engagement in a war
to topple the regime and its institutions to establish a religious government
according to its Salafist-Jihadi views. Progressively expanding in the fields
of education, culture, politics and economics.
The results of the events in which the group was a party over the last decades
in the Egyptian, Arab and international arena show the depth of the ties it
brings with the rest of the political Islam factions. [11] So, the armed
jihadist movement contributes to weakening the state in order to justify the
introduction of the Brotherhood alternative, which is being built on time.
Washington has bypassed the warnings of the group's danger and its aims to
control the world at a later stage under the title of "World
Mastery," and the "Sayyid Qutb" approach cited in the CIA's
"Building Support Rules" ], calling for the annihilation of Western
civilization for the purpose of establishing the Islamic State of the world.
Also, late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat bypassed the approach of the
extremist group and its secret methods that he knows more than others, which is
the result of his extensive experience in the group even before the rule of
Abdel Nasser.
This perception fundamentally undermines the way in which the Brotherhood deals
with the Egyptian political reality. It has been proven that it is deceiving
itself to promote itself as a national political partner while preparing to
control its power in the foreseeable future through cooperation with other
partners within the takfiri trend.
The emergence and development of the takfiri armed groups began with the
establishment of an umbrella for them, the Brotherhood, and that all the
leaders of these groups are graduates of the Muslim Brotherhood's ideology and
goals. [13] There were strong ties between the Brotherhood leaders and their
counterparts in other groups even after they split as MB leader Issam al-Arian
remained in close contact with Tariq al-Zomor, leader of the Islamic Group
[14].
