      ***Megathread time. It seems that a lot of people believe that the chief Islamic extremist threats of our time are jihadi groups like al-Qaeda and IS. This is wrong. The chief Islamist threat has always been the Muslim Brotherhood.***

      Al-Qaeda and IS are of course dangerous. But they are made a lot less dangerous by the fact that they are obvious "villains". Beheadings and bombings get them lots of newspaper headlines but minimal public sympathy.

      Jihadi groups like AQ & IS have little regard for subtlety. They impatiently seek to tear down the old power structures. The Muslim Brotherhood, on the other hand, seeks to slowly rearrange them. This is what makes it far more dangerous.

          The MB was formed in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna to return the world to a perceived "Islamic Golden Age", free of colonial influence. In its nearly 100 years of existence it has spread across the world and birthed countless offshoot organisations.

          The MB claims that it renounces violence. In reality, al-Banna formulated the philosophy known as “Fann al-Mawt” (“the Art of Death”), which is the credo of groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas. The MB also has numerous personal links to said jihadi groups.

          Further, there are persistent rumours that the MB has its own, dedicated, ultra-secretive jihadi group, Nizam al-Khass (“The Special Apparatus”), established in the 1930s, which apparently has military training camps in Egypt and engages in assassinations across the Middle East.

          However, what makes the MB far more dangerous than any jihadi group is that it is not simply a death-cult. Rather, it is similar to the Church of Scientology in that it wears a polished mask, has a global reach, and operates at every level of society, from the bottom to the top.

          At the bottom, its members seek out lonely individuals and offer them “family”. They take children from the poor by promising to shape them into upstanding adults. They even intrude into members' private family affairs, as this ex-member explains:https://youtu.be/4BFUbE5kO0k?t=1293 …

          At the top, its leaders wear suits, ties and smiles, mingle with Eastern and Western elites in media, academia, and politics, and influence elections and policy at the geopolitical level.

          Unlike jihadi groups, the MB seeks to change the world slowly & stealthily. While AQ & IS would consider themselves lucky to control a village, the MB is able to exert control over entire countries.

          While groups like IS seek only to create bottom-up revolutions by rousing the lower classes into rebellion, the MB also seeks top-down revolutions by infiltrating high-society so that favourable legislation is imposed on the populace. It thus works to create puppet dictatorships

          In Egypt, the MB gradually infiltrated the upper echelons of society, all the while publicly advocating social cohesion. Then, during the uprising of 2011, it quickly switched into a vicious revolutionary force, eventually installing its puppet, Morsi, at the head of govt.

          Morsi’s puritanism proved unpopular and he was eventually forced out in Sisi’s coup. However, another of the MB’s puppets, Erdogan, is now arguably the most powerful Islamist in the world, and he is transforming Turkey into a Caliphate that would utterly dwarf IS’s.

          Erdogan is not an official MB member, but has a long track record of aiding it. He granted MB members asylum after Sisi's coup, and gave them TV stations so they could disseminate propaganda. He has also repeatedly advocated for the MB and likes to make the MB’s “Rabaa” salute:pic.twitter.com/ks3wgcQuYE

          Erdogan’s “reforms” are geared toward the MB’s utopic vision. Creating a police state, removing evolution from curricula, and promoting Islamic supremacy through historical revisionism (e.g. “America was discovered by Muslims”, “Shakespeare was a Muslim named Sheikh Pir”, etc).

          However, Erdogan’s Turkey is not yet what the MB originally envisioned, as it still retains “deviant” elements like consumerism, secular spaces, and curiosities like Adnan Oktar’s horrifying sex-cult of Islamic Barbie Dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bH21w2R0hc …

          A more accurate representation of the MB’s aims would be ultra-conservative Sudan under the MB affiliate, National Islamic Front. This was a place of curfews, “re-education”, summary executions, ethnic cleansing, slavery, and torture.

          Women accused of rape were battered to death with rocks, in public, by their own families, while strangers cheered. Sudanese children were encouraged to become suicide bombers, and on state TV jihadis were ceremonially wedded to women dressed up as houris (heavenly virgins)

          Another e.g. of an MB offshoot with absolute power is Jamaat-e-Islami in 1970s Bangladesh. This oversaw the Bangladesh Genocide, during which imams advocated rape & murder of non-Muslims, leading to the torture & deaths of millions – utterly eclipsing the atrocities of even ISIS.

          Reactions of Western govts to groups like MB & J-e-I have varied. In 2014, David Cameron opened an investigation into the UK arm of the MB, which caused it to relocate to more liberal Austria. However, the MB retains influence in the UK through the Muslim Association of Britain.

          On the other hand, in 2016, a mosque less than a mile from me invited J-e-I firebrand Muhammad Hanif Qureshi to speak. This is a man who praised the murder of Punjabi governor Salmaan Tafseer, who wished to relax blasphemy laws. The invitation was approved by the UK Home Office.

          Clearly, Western governments offer the MB and its offshoots freedoms that they would never grant to AQ or IS, and this makes the more outwardly respectable groups far more dangerous than the jihadis.

          In conclusion: the MB is the grandfather of much of today’s Islamism, a puppeteer of jihadis & dictators alike, a many-headed hydra seeking to devour civilisation from a myriad different ways. It may not burn people alive in 1080p, but this is precisely why it should be watched.
