Common interests
The subject of the relationship of the Muslim Brotherhood and the CIA "CIA" frequently around the debate. Some see that no relationship exists between the group and the U.S. and is only an attempt to discredit and others confirms that the documents "CIA" and the U.S. administration confirm the existence of a relationship between the two parties back to the fifties of the last century and during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, which played during Brotherhood played an important role in resisting the Communist tide.
Secret documents released by "CIA" confirms that the U.S. administration had been monitoring the Brotherhood and their activities since the year 1947 (the magazine published a secret document about the situation in Egypt on October 16, 1947). The document says that released a new element was added after World War with the advent of the Muslim Brotherhood, "which emphasizes the intense hatred of Islam and for foreign intervention in the Arab world."
In another document titled "The consequences of the partition of Palestine" dated November 28, 1947 (published in the magazine) remember the CIA that it "was founded the Muslim Brotherhood, based in Egypt of young Muslims for the purpose of directing the Arab society in accordance with Islamic ideology. Was established branches of the Brotherhood in Syria, and Lebanon, in addition to Palestine, which is one of the most active of its branches. The Brotherhood is seen to "Westernization" as a serious threat to Islam and will face any violation of the Palestine Zionist religious intolerance. If they were declared "jihad", the Brotherhood will become the spearhead of any "campaign". As can the Grand Mufti, as head of the Supreme Islamic Council, that depends on the collective support of all the members of the Brotherhood who trust in entering paradise if they died on the battlefield. "
Strategic interests
In a TV program "Here the capital" with the Egyptian media to Miss Iron Abdel-Hakim Abdel Nasser, son of the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser that the intimate relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and America's exciting surprise and evidence confirming the existence of an agreement between the parties to secure the interests of Washington's strategy in the region. Said Abdel-Hakim Abdel Nasser, said that the strategy to secure American interests in Egypt has been going on for forty years until the present moment, which is witnessing issued Brotherhood of the scene.
In February 2011 In an article published by the "New York Review of Books," went a Canadian journalist Ian Johnson to describe the relationship between America and the Muslim Brotherhood to be more of an intimate. Says in his book "The Mosque in Munich" (2010), which displays activity Brotherhood in Europe and their role in the recruitment of the elements adopted in the post-jihadist ideology, that between the Brotherhood and the CIA Trazia real due to the fifties of the last century, a "compromise" silent been thereunder agreement on anti-communism and soothe any tensions for Muslims in Europe.
Johnson reveals in his article a brief him on the books of the former U.S. president Dwight David Eisenhower tells the details of the meeting attended by Said Ramadan representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and the smelting and guide the group's founder Hassan al-Banna, the father of the Egyptian scholar Tariq Ramadan, who holds Swiss citizenship.
Canadian author also revealed that the "CIA" supported Happy Ramadan openly and was considered an agent of the United States and helped him thus in the fifties and sixties in the seizure of land Mosque Munich and the expulsion of Muslims living to build a mosque them which is one of the most important centers of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe.
The writer also revealed the role of British intelligence in helping Happy Ramadan to arrange a coup against Abdel Nasser in 1965 and the process that ended with the arrest of most of its elements in what has historically been the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which was executed because of Sayyid Qutb.
After the revolution a year ie in 1953, the prohibition of the Revolutionary Command Council in Egypt, all political parties except the Muslim Brotherhood for their role in the success of the revolution, and did not intercede for Abdel Nasser to avoid a clash with the Muslim Brotherhood in the first instance, but the clash was soon back to the public because of the move away Abdel Nasser for thought Brotherhood The quest for the establishment of a secular state interfere with "Islamization" that was sought by the Muslim Brotherhood in particular, and they see themselves as owners of great credit to the success of the revolution and thus its leadership.
Began an open war between Abdel Nasser and the Muslim Brotherhood in 1954 .. It has been subjected to an assassination attempt on October 26, 1954 when he addressed a rally in the field Mansheya Alexandria, in a ceremony marking the agreement Galaa, where thrown at him eight shots did not pour any of them, but hit a Sudanese minister "Mirghani Hamza" and secretary of the editorial board in Alexandria, "Ahmed Badr," which was stand by Gamal Abdel Nasser, was arrested on an absolute lead, which was later identified as belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to Matthew Holland in his book "America and Egypt: From Roosevelt to Eisenhower" (1996) that the relationship between Nasser and the United States were not bad in the first years of the revolution, so that America gave Abdel Nasser jacket and bullet-proof before the speech Mansheya famous like they were aware of assassination attempt (as revealed later Thami good political adviser to President Gamal Abdel Nasser).
Mansheya incident enabled Abdel Nasser, according to Holland to get rid of President Mohamed Naguib Brotherhood and by issuing a decree to ban the group and considered outside the law, so that Anthony Eden, British Prime Minister Abdel Nasser described as "one of us".
Abdel Nasser turned to the Soviets and later to the Eastern bloc accounts for non-London and Washington and became the enemy of a friend today and yesterday began a new relationship between America and the Muslim Brotherhood, this time aimed at the elimination of Abdel Nasser himself.
I tried the United States and Britain support the Brotherhood by forming secret cells working against the revolution has persuaded Washington and London, the Muslim Brotherhood, in collaboration with the groups of Iranian militant, was the formation of cell "Fedayeen of Islam," which could Abdel Nasser exposed and arrested on the track a number of leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood with the withdrawal of the Egyptian nationality of the number of them, including Said Ramadan himself (1965).
Although the proof of the involvement of Egyptian intelligence Happy Ramadan in the implementation of terrorist acts, but the Swiss government has not taken any action against Ramadan resident on its territory, putting question marks about the fact that the British and the American role in a scheme to assassinate Gamal Abdel Nasser.
After Nasser's death and the decline of national tide originated a new kind of relationship between America and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular in the period of the rule of President Anwar Sadat. It has confirmed the American writer Robert Dreyfuss in a book entitled "Devil's Game .. How launched the United States unleashed Islamic fundamentalism "(2005) that Washington has supported Islamic groups in the Middle East and North Africa openly and secretly, causing the birth of" terrorism ", stressing that America manipulated the Islamic groups that supported and funded.
The Dreyfus said the United States used the Muslim Brotherhood in the fifties, against Gamal Abdel Nasser and tide national, and after the death of Nasser in 1970 and the decline of Arab nationalism end of the seventies troubled relationship between the two parties because of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood for the Camp David agreement, particularly since President Anwar Sadat, who became the most important allies of Washington in the region was, before Camp David, use the Brotherhood, with the blessing of the U.S., Nasiriyah and against communism.
I knew the relationship between Sadat and the Muslim Brotherhood "truce" that lasted for years, but the relationship soon began to fade away to finish later in 1981 to break the arrest of hundreds, headed by leader Omar Tlemceni.
In their book "fundamentalisms and the State" (1996) mentions Martin Marty and Scott Apple Bay that radicalization began leading the Brotherhood Unlike Azhar, who maintained a moderation did not want to engage in a confrontation with the group. Group launched across its magazine "call" explicitly calls (July 1979) to attack the Israeli embassy and killed diplomats and Israeli tourists and all of collaborating with Israel from the Egyptians.
In April 1980 magazine called "call" for a boycott of all that is because the Israeli embassy bombing or the killing of diplomats would not work after that relations between the two countries has become a reality. In January 1979 was a "call" published a report claiming that it emanates from the "CIA" calls on the Egyptian government to eliminate Islamic groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood. "Call" quoted the report (which turned out to be false) to Richard Mitchell, a professor of history of the Near East and North Africa Mhijn University and author of a society of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Deliberate forgery angered President Sadat paid to the custody of the numbers of "call" and scolding mentor himself to such tendentious reports that are offensive to the Egyptian-American relations. The morning of September 4, 1981, Al-Ahram newspaper surprised that people have been arrested hundreds of the instigators of sectarian strife, has had most of those from the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic groups, and was in the forefront of Brotherhood leader Omar Tlemceni. The newspaper pointed out that the majority of defendants elements blinded intolerance and religious extremism, and that the prosecutor Socialist charge of the investigation with the accused. On September 5 announced Sadat, solve some unregistered associations that worked against national unity, and the reservation of funds to the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic groups. The tension between Sadat and the Muslim Brotherhood has reached its peak after Sadat to Tlemceni face charges of subversion, employment and stirring sectarian strife and students and to the Brotherhood, including the existence of revenge and revolution in July
Between negation and affirmation
Despite the vast amount of documents released by the American secret Washington still denies the existence of any relationship with the Brotherhood. This may be true after the attacks of September atheist terrorist followed Omirakh cut any ties with Islamist groups .. But the Brotherhood's presence inside the U.S. flag and the approval of a U.S. security authorities can not be exiled in any way.
Stephen Merle mentions a researcher at the Hudson Institute in Washington, a lengthy study on the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States (2009) that the U.S. administration allowed them to engage in regulatory activities within the United States. In this context, the Muslim Brotherhood in America in the early sixties work of organizations working on the front cover of Foreign Affairs of the secret organization of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. homeland. Merle says that this secret organization has achieved huge success in creating organizations sponsor and driving force to achieve the lofty goals of the Brotherhood of America.
The writer was that in the very beginning stage of the assembly and the crowd, where the movement began to form in conjunction with the start of the Islamic efficiency in North America or slightly before.
Says, "began the formation of the volunteers, but without any regulatory framework, then it is groups of enthusiasts or activists were in the home of the Brotherhood or another group or have no affiliation lowest activity gathered them and work with the team and this was the stage of planting the seed of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America."
He adds: "Then began the second phase of an organization where the work groups at the level of countries of North America and they have a regulatory framework coordinating the so-called Council of Coordination and the first interest in coordination between the efforts of international groups and the verification of their effectiveness and benefit from their experiences and come up with recommendations but is not obligated to groups and not in regulatory framework so far. These groups then grown to produce leaders, and then the work group is to coordinate and bring together the leaders of the groups in the absence of members of the group at least in peace leader. And it was attached to some countries that do not have a group represented by the Coordinating Council to accede to the nearest group in the neighboring state as was the case with Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Egypt and with the examples featured. "
Reveals: "The group of students affiliations with Muslim Brotherhood in North America to gather and Trooping the composition of the Union of Muslim students to be of the Muslim Brotherhood is a dye and then the other regulatory activities be confined to public gatherings, conferences and camps student rallies."
And according to a study, "admitted one of the founders of the Union that the date of its foundation dating back to 1962. We have begun the work of the Union at the University of Younis in Iorbana Champaign, where we gathered for the first time in the twenty-fifth of December 1961 and we were the day eight students, where we agreed to meet in the first of the month following the January 1, 1962 which included the states of Indiana and Osconsen and Minnesota and we were that day fifteen Then we agreed to ideological framework we can walk it and abide by it to achieve higher efficiency in American universities and join us student teams from all over the sound. "
Union officially began his work in 1963 to become the hallmarks of the universities and academic institutes even enjoy about 250 representative offices him in various American universities and Canada. There is also the Brothers, according to Stephen Merle, associations and other institutions operating in the framework of the law and with the approval of the U.S. authorities which the Islamic Waqf in North America and the Islamic Society of North America and the International Institute of Islamic Thought and the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society and the Fiqh Council of North America.
Bridges
After the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States, succeeding George W. Bush began there have been attempts to build bridges again between America and the Muslim world away from the remnants of the Sept. 11 attacks came the Arab Spring and the rise of political Islam, led by the Muslim Brotherhood in all their branches in the country which have long been the spring to restore the atmosphere of the fifties of the last century and starting to see D bridges between the two friends again Kadimin Frguethma policy and interests.
Denies former officials in the U.S. government called them "magazine" that the United States never sought to influence the Muslim Brotherhood. Assistant says former Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Richard Murphy that he does not mention the presence of any contacts between the "CIA" and the Muslim Brotherhood during his time at the State Department.
And also denied Tom Tuitin, who headed the branch in Egypt and Libya, "the CIA" in the mid-seventies of the last century, and then live up to the position of director of operations in the nineties, that the White House ordered any attempts at intervention
The Tuitin saying: "If policymakers wanted .. That the (CIA) b (process) intervention, it will require a written document that sets goals and limits and practical reasons, the agency required .. I can assure that it has not issued a document or discussion about interference in or with the Muslim Brotherhood since 1974 until retirement in 1995. And also do not recall any reference to the existence of such a program before 1974. "
But we must distinguish between an attempt to intervene to influence the organization and spying on them, which is the work of the agency, "CIA." Indeed admits intelligence analyst last saying: "The IAEA has the resources within some Muslim organizations because they provided a great deal of confidential reports about (organizations) reversed to obtain information from informed sources."
Ian Johnson himself, who first dealt with the links between U.S. intelligence and the Muslim Brotherhood, fell slightly below what previously said the "Journal" that the accusations of a relationship with "CIA" was "and" old way to discredit the Muslim Brotherhood for decades. From the beginning of the Nasser era, it was a known method of attack on the group - that is said to be secretly cooperating with the U.S. global conspiracy (extends to Zionism).
Within Egypt, the criticisms continue the existence of relations between the Muslim Brotherhood and the United States until now. At the moment where the controlled group, under the guise of Freedom and Justice Party, the reins of power in Egypt, opponents find an additional incentive to seek to discredit.
Last July in an interview with "Al Ahram Al Arabi" admitted Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociology professor and director of the Ibn Khaldun Center, he played the role of mediator between the Brotherhood and the Americans in the time of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak by facilitating meetings between the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood Khairat Al-Shater and Essam el-Erian and mentors current and former Mohammed Badie Mohammed Mahdi Akef, with American officials. Katatni and McCain
Abraham said he is not reached any agreements or transactions, the primary goal was keen on both sides that there will be uninterrupted communication channels between them and are invested when the time comes.
For his part, Dr. Effat Sadat, president of Egypt's National Party, the Brotherhood decided to fall into the lap of the United States, this is not a stranger to them, Brotherhood, throughout their long history, have become addicted to hold secret deals that are in the interest of the community first.
During the visit of the Secretary of Hillary Clinton to Egypt in July, criticized columnist Ahmed Musa President Mursi and the Freedom and Justice Party because of the lack of express decisive enough in what American intervention in the internal affairs of Egypt, saying that the United States has shifted from the "Great Satan" to a "friend" in the eyes of freedom and justice / Muslim Brotherhood.
And worthwhile that it claims that the alleged collusion between the two "conspiracy" aimed at undermining the authority of the Egyptian army. There were also concerns on the tongues of protesters who hurled shoes and car Clinton tomatoes when leaving the American consulate in Alexandria. Many of them waved banners accusing the United States funded by the Muslim Brotherhood.
U.S. charges
Strange that in the United States itself conducts the process of "defamation" is similar, where some public figures resort to political rivals accused of colluding with the Muslim Brotherhood. On 13 June, I sent Rep. Michele Bachman with four Vice other Republicans inquiries to the Office of the Inspector General in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the question about the reason for granting help Hillary Clinton has long Huma Abidin security clearance despite allegations of ties between her parents and her brother, individuals and groups to linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Were met with accusations of backlash from other lawmakers, including Republican Senator John McCain, who ascended the platform of the Senate to denounce the letter, saying that these "malicious accusations .. Have no logic nor the basis of no use. "
He described Abdeen McCain as "friendly" and pointed out that these allegations very similar allegations Senator John McCarthy during the fifties, when it was brought to U.S. officials, especially from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Congress in order to defend themselves on charges of colluding with the Soviet Union.
For his part, Barack Obama Huma Abidin as "an American national," said during an iftar dinner at the White House that "the representation of our country and the democratic values ​​that we cherish, not less than fabulous," adding: "The American people owe a debt of gratitude, because Huma U.S. national , and an example of what we need in this country, which is more than government employees, who have a sense of decorum and civility and tolerance of her soul. "
Bachman, which accused Abdeen seeking to reach the upper levels of the U.S. government justified its position, said: "If my family members linked to Hamas, a terrorist organization, that alone may be enough to prevent me from getting a security clearance."
But the Muslim Brotherhood and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the two parties are not the only ones accused of complicity. In July, the newspaper devoted "constitution," the Egyptian half of its front page to the news refers to a member of Congress to provide for the state of Virginia, Frank Wolf, "a legal document .. Prove that President Barack Obama and (Secretary of State) Hillary Clinton, ahead of up to 50 million U.S. dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood during the second round of the presidential election to support Mohamed Morsi. "
But when I called the "Journal" office of the member and the Wolf in Washington, his spokesman denied any knowledge of the matter. The Wolf has traveled to Egypt twice, most recently in June 2011, and met with Mubarak and other Egyptian officials spoke about his concerns about where the rights of religious and ethnic minorities in the Middle East. Perhaps Wolf overt support for the Copts has led to the rise of its shares in Egypt, becoming an easy target for this kind of accusations. As for the claim itself, appears to be another example of a campaign aimed at distorting the image of Mursi, pointing out that an agent of the U.S. government. Given all this, it seems that is attracting all of Congressman Wolf, and the United States in general, to an escalating propaganda aimed at undermining the credibility of Mercy with the Egyptian people.
If we studied the American reaction to the events of the Arab Spring and the modern style of the escalating between the United States and Egypt today, we will find it is clear that the United States was surprised by the unrest that occurred in Tunisia and Egypt. The United States was slow to respond during the crisis, at least because of exaggerated fears that the Muslim Brotherhood will snap in the end power by force. What was also clear is that the attack, which exposed him Mursi of his opponents - who often ignore the special background as part of the political elite in the era of Mubarak and the military government, which has maintained strong links with the United States - but it is a part of a power struggle in Egypt. In parallel with this, came bouts of uncertainty within the United States itself on "infiltration" Brothers to the U.S. government (and society) to reflect the scary rumors circulating in Egypt and call to memory the concerns of Senator Joseph McCarthy's famous in the fifties of the last century.
Despite recent accusations that the United States supports the Muslim Brotherhood, a secret, and that senior U.S. officials "sympathetic" with the aspirations of the Muslim Brotherhood or having links with Islamic groups, and that the Obama administration has secretly financed the election campaign of Mercy, you must differentiate between the "natural" in the relations of States and between what is propaganda between _khasos politicians.
should remember the American reaction Slow Arab Spring, which saw the fall of two of the most important allies of America: Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, which continued to govern the country over 23 years, Hosni Mubarak, who continued to govern Egypt since the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981. It is clear to us that the Arab Spring is an act of popular self stunned the United States and that the accusations of a role for "CIA" behind the scenes unfounded or at least there is now supported by up to reveal America for new documents secret after decades from now.
The failure of intelligence
I was surprised the United States completely Balthortin Tunisian and Egyptian, in spite of the presence of indicators, emphasizing the potential for unrest in Tunisia, thanks to rampant corruption in the Ben Ali family and senior officials. On December 17 (December) in 2010, sparked a peddler Mohammed Bouazizi in his body on fire to protest the confiscation of the fruit cart by municipal officials.
At a time where Bouazizi died of his wounds in early January (January), did not understand the little fact in Washington, the implications of what is happening in Tunisia. When news broke Bouazizi to ignite the fire in his body, came out anti-government demonstrations across Tunisia. On 7 January alone, the United States recognized the existence of disorders, and summoned the Tunisian ambassador to criticize the government's handling of the protests and urges restraint. According to a statement made ​​by a senior official in the U.S. State Department, the United States expressed "concern about what is happening with regard to the demonstrations .. And encouraged the Tunisian government to ensure respect for civil liberties. "
Although the timing was a coincidence purely to travel and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the unrest to Qatar and to receive a letter calling on Arab leaders to "more openness in their political systems," where it became clear that progress towards reform has witnessed a "recession." At the same time, the deterioration of the situation in Tunisia quickly, and published "New York Times" on January 11 story about the death of up to 14 people. That prompted the U.S. State Department to emphasize the Tunisian government that the Obama administration does not feel "concerned only the events of the ongoing violence, but also emphasizes the importance of respecting the freedom of expression, and the importance of the availability of information."
But violence continued in the Jan. 13 killing of 16 people by others, forcing Ben Ali to point out that he will leave his post after the end of his term. This was not enough. On that day, the Tunisian army explained that it would not use force to repress demonstrations. Forced Ben Ali after he abandoned his army to escape to the outside of Tunisia with his family.
He saw Khaled Abdel-Hamid in a study entitled "Study of the American role in the process of political reform in Egypt .. The escalation of the Muslim Brotherhood and its implications for the U.S. position, "published on the website of the Institute of Imam Shirazi International Studies in Washington, that the Muslim Brotherhood, like other Egyptian opposition forces, has benefited what he called some of the" Cover the U.S., "which was formed by the constant demands for reform in Egypt and without the region Arab pressures of America accounted for direct support to the efforts of the Egyptian opposition on the issue of reform, and the statements made by U.S. officials in different locations has poured in the end in the direction of expanding the margin of freedoms and reduce the influence of power toward the movements of the opposition, especially the Muslim Brotherhood Although the Egyptian authorities have taken some measures toward the Brotherhood after their participation in some of the demonstrations, but the fact that the power has been constrained by hand, but does not highlight externally Egypt, the Brotherhood's actions at this stage were not met by the authority but more violent measures and tougher. " It seemed, adds Abdel-Hamid, that the group is fully aware of this new situation endorsing Mohammed Habib, deputy leader that "all Egyptian political forces have benefited from the pressure," the U.S. being restricted from the influence of power in the face of opposition. "
In light of the political conflict and discord community that hangs over Egypt, and in the singling out of "Brotherhood" and the rise to power of all that opposition voices represented by the Muslim Brotherhood, there is nothing to be excluded from the political techniques of deception at this stage. What came to rule Egypt Brotherhood is what will allow their opponents to wage a relentless war on all attempts to "Islamization" which some seek to impose on the Egyptian society. Atmosphere of freedom that prevails in Egypt after the revolution of January 25 increases the enthusiasm with which it promotes some elements of the Egyptian media rumors and conspiracy theories, so the accusations of collaboration with the United States is likely to be repeated .. Accusations of pursuing the group for decades and will dogged for decades to come as long as America and as long as the Muslim Brotherhood.
