Public Opinion on U.S. Negotiations with the Muslim Brotherhood

Public Opinion on U.S. Negotiations with the Muslim Brotherhood

The Tarrance Group
July 2011
"The Muslim Brotherhood was established in Egypt in the 1920s and is one of the oldest and largest Islamist groups. It serves as the largest political opposition in many Arab states. The Brotherhood’s stated goal is to instill the Koran, and what is referred to as 'Sharia' law, as the governing body for the family, community and government law. While the Brotherhood claims to be committed against violence, a number of well-known terrorists are graduates of this organization, including al Qaeda’s number two leader, Egyptian doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri. Further, a terror analyst who has studied this group says 'The Muslim Brotherhood is the mother ship for the jihadi ideologies and thinking. And therefore one can say today’s al Qaeda, and today many other jihadists, are off shoots of the Muslim Brotherhood.'
After reading this description of the Muslim Brotherhood, do you think the United States should agree to deal with the Muslim Brotherhood when negotiating with other countries where they have a strong political presence?"
