Didn’t they assassinate Anwar Sadat?
Yes they did!
I believe as an organization they go back to WWII.
You can draw a line from them to almost all Islamist terrorist groups.
The Muslim Brotherhood, also called The Society of Muslim Brothers (Hizb al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, also Jamiat al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin), and usually shortened to Ikhwan al- Muslimun (Muslim Brothers), or simply Ikhwan (the brothers), is the most extensive and influential of the purely political Islamist movements organized in the Twentieth Century. It is the nexus from which all Sunni-dominated Islamist movements trace their heritage. It was the obverse of the Wafd, the liberal, constitutionalist, and nationalist political movement launched by Saad Zaghlul Pasha (1850-1927) following the end of World War I.
The Muslim Brotherhood was founded by Hassan al-Banna, a recent college graduate, who with six associates met in Ismailia, Egypt in March 1928 and pledged to live a life devoted exclusively to Islam. Banna claimed it was the loss of the Caliphate in Turkey, and the tangible sickness that existed within the Muslim community (umma) that led he and five followers, all in their early twenties, to create the Ikhwan whose credo would be “The Kuran is our Constitution.” Commencing with the small handful of intitiates, by the end of WWII the Ikhwan had about 500,000 members in Egypt alone. In 2005 it had branches in 70 countries, and its members were numbered in the millions.
You mean they haven’t already been after all these years?
Are they afraid to hurt their feelings?
