Muslim Brotherhood: Origins and Ideology

  • 💡 The Muslim Brotherhood is described as an organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century, likened to a mafia organization.
  • 🤝 Historically, the organization is noted for joining Hitler and the Nazis in forming the Muslim division of the SS and recruiting Egyptian soldiers.
  • 🎭 The group operates under the banner of political Islam, with members often being educated and religious but adhering to their own ideology, functioning like a cult.
  • 🎯 They are accused of having a hidden agenda to undermine political systems and take over countries, not able to coexist with others.

International Actions and Impact
