2007-01-03 “The new international system led by the United States is an old imperial system using new tools … combining seduction with repression, infiltration and domination with allegations of partnership ... and breaking up countries while calling on nations to rally against hegemony. The United States is inciting minorities, provoking border troubles, and encouraging ethnic and sectarian sedition as well as civil war. It is trying to separate Arab societies from Muslims societies. It is doing so through fanning nationalism, targeting the minds of youth, undermining the value system, and spreading feelings of frustration.

The West pretends to be benevolent, but it has divided the world into two parts. One is the West itself ‘that must remain strong, rich, armed, conquering, and productive.’ The other is the rest of the world ‘that must remain weak, poor, disarmed, invaded, occupied, and consuming.’ The West is ‘trying to impose its vision through force, just as it is perpetuating disparity among nations. The forms of exploitation may have changed, but the system remains the same. It is a system based on racist concepts. It adopts the ideas of Darwin and Nietzsche, with the West always acting at the center, always at the helm. It is survival of the fittest, and the West wants all others to remain unfit,”
-- Mohammad Mahdi Akef, Muslim Brotherhood supreme guide, weekly address, from ikhwanonline.com
2007 "The process of settlement of [Islam in the United States] is a Civilization-jihadist process with all the word means. The Ikhwan [the Brothers] must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions. Without this level of understanding we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack."
-- An excerpt from a 1991 document describing the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy in the United States, as presented in the Texas trial against the now defunct charity known as the Holy Land Foundation

2001-11-07 The document was found in a raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, who has had active association with the Muslim Brotherhood for more than 50 years.

Included in the documents seized was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982, which outlined a 12-point strategy to "establish an Islamic government on earth" - identified as The Project. According to testimony given to Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by "Islamic researchers" associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. It represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the "cultural invasion" of the West.

The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood "master plan." Some of it recommendations include:


Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions
Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations
Involving ideologically committed Muslims in institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations
Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be put into service of Islam
Instituting alliances with Western "progressive" organizations that share similar goals
Included among this group of Muslim Brotherhood intellectuals is Youssef al-Qaradhawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based Islamist cleric. Both Sylvain Besson and Scott Burgess provide extensive comparisons between Qaradhawi's publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase, published in 1990, and The Project. They note the striking similarities in the language used and the plans and methods both documents advocate.
