Since its presence on American soil, the Brotherhood has worked to create a group of multi-faceted arms and tasks to form a wide ground for them among the Muslim community in the American interior to form a force that can be exploited and bet on in front of successive administrations, as well as work to penetrate some of the group's personalities into the departments of governance and decision-making And approaching them with the aim of achieving gains and protecting brotherly interests.

The group's arms in the United States

The Muslim Brotherhood benefited from the issuance of the Immigration and Nationality Law issued in 1965 to be the beginning of a major transformation in the group's penetration of the United States of America, due to the repeal of this law of immigration restrictions and the acquisition of citizenship imposed by previous immigration laws issued in 1923 and 1946, and as a result of this law A large number of Muslims in India, Pakistan and Southeast Asia, in addition to a large number of elements of the Brotherhood in Egypt, Especially in light of the fierce campaign carried out by the late President Jamal Abdel Nasser against the Brotherhood after trying to revive the group’s activity, and referring a large number of its members to the military judiciary in the case of Al-Nawasim 65, which numbered 23,922 papers.

The group began establishing entities and institutions for it through three main stations, the first station was through student work and was based on the exploitation of Arab and Muslim students in American educational circles, and the second station was based on the formation of social and professional organizations with the aim of providing social and cultural services to Muslims in America to increase Their association with the mother organization to ensure their continued loyalty to the group or the recruitment of new members, The third and final station is based on the establishment of political organizations to play a political role within the American community to serve the group's goals inside and outside the United States.

Student unions

The activity of the institutional brotherhood was not limited to associations only, but started from union work through a number of federations affiliated with the group at the beginning of its penetration into American society. The first union was established on January 1, 1962 at the American University of Illinois and later joined by federations from Indiana and Minnesota states and the number of members is estimated This union has about 15 people, which doubles in a few months to about 200 individuals. 

The group also established the Union of Muslim Students in the United States and Canada in 1963, and sought entry to union work through the Union of Muslim Doctors in 1967, the Union of Islamic Doctors and Engineers in 1969, the Islamic Social Workers Union in 1971 and the Union of Islamic Social Scientists in 1972 and the Union of Islamic Engineers and Scientists in 1974, the Arab Muslim Youth League.

Organizations and institutions

But after the law was passed, the association’s role turned to the settlement of these students in the United States, especially students with doctorate degrees in medicine, engineering, and other sciences for storming the American labor market and bringing their families and families from their countries, in order to establish an Islamic society based on organization and cohesion and able to influence American society Then expand to influence the American elite, administration, and congressmen, To advocate for the issues that the Brotherhood is focusing on at that time, for example “The Palestinian Issue – The Islamic Group in Pakistan – The Kashmir Case ”.

Investigations by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2004 revealed an internal document of the Brotherhood proving their responsibility for establishing this association that embraced many symbols of terrorist groups and fundamentalist ideology such as “Anwar Al-Awlaki ” The spiritual inspiration for Al-Qaeda who assumed the presidency of the association branch at the American University of Colorado in a period As well as “Omar Shafiq Hamami ” Rami Zamzam ” A Taliban fighter who was a member of the association's branch at Washington University.

During Ahmed Al-Qadi’s leadership of the Brotherhood, he relied on a new organizational idea to evaluate and monitor performance based on the group’s Shura Council, which is under the supervision of the Brotherhood official, issuing executive decisions that are distributed to different regions of the United States, and officials of those regions distribute them to members until they reach the simple member of the Brotherhood Which represents the end of the organizational pyramid, This was reflected in the performance of the group, which appeared very differently from the point of view of focusing on the major goals of advancing the group's position in American society.

But the association then developed itself to enter the political field through the establishment of the Verbal Council of North America with the aim of achieving a real political weight for the association and its members in the United States.

What reinforces the possibility that the change was only formal, the proceedings of the thirty-eighth conference of the association, which was held at the conference center in Hatford, Connecticut on May 28, 2011, as most of the attendees were members of the group, raising its logo and chanting its traditional chants.

The association presented itself as an organization for civil liberties and defends the civil rights of Muslims in the United States, responding to malicious rumors against Islam, and training Muslim youth in underdeveloped media fields in addition to seeking to preserve democracy, and administratively overlaps with dozens of international organizations and bodies that are based on Its departments are a number of Brotherhood cadres, which is an interlocking cluster network that is difficult to track. 

The organization used its role in defending the rights of Muslims and Arabs, confronting racist crimes towards them, and defending Islamic issues in influencing the American decision-making process, and using this role to influence American foreign policy to support the branches of the Muslim Brotherhood abroad, specifically in the Middle East region, and thus became that The organization plays a double two-sided role, The internal aspect of dealing with Muslim issues, which created a broad base of influence within the American interior, and an external face and is based on exploiting this influence to influence American foreign policy in favor of the Brotherhood’s agenda. 

The activities of “CARE ” raised doubts about it, which prompted the American journalist “Chris Jobs ” to claim that he converted to Islam and raised his beard and approached “Anwar Al-Wakil ” Imam of the Immigration House Mosque in Washington DC, and he joined the organization with a lawsuit Training it on programs offered to Muslim youth, He closely approached its leaders over the course of a year and was able to obtain the content of 12,000 documents and a number of audio recordings and conversations that were supposed to be executed at the organization's headquarters in Washington.

It is worth noting that during the years 2002 and 2003, in light of the changes that occurred in the American interior and the new security conditions imposed by the events of September 11 and the restrictions on a large number of Islamic organizations, a conflict broke out between the Brotherhood and a number of other Islamic currents present in America, including the Salafi movement, To seize Islamic centers and platforms and try to impose control over them because of the great importance they represent in the continuation of Islamic currents in their work in one way or another through donations of Muslims abroad and the recruitment of new elements of the organization that are able to feed it with the necessary funds.

Indeed, the Brotherhood succeeded in controlling more than 70% of these centers, and the role of these centers became more evident after 2013, as it provided the necessary care to the elements of the fleeing Brotherhood of America after the June 30 revolution that excluded the Brotherhood from the rule of Egypt.

Penetration of the governance institution and decision-making circles

After establishing its bases in American society, the Brotherhood group focused on establishing a wide network of relations with members of the Congress, the White House, diplomatic corps, press and media men, clerics, cultural institutions, interfaith institutions, associations specializing in vice and addiction, and institutions working to spread justice And peace in the world. 

“Abdul Rahman Al-Amadi ” Director of the American Islamic Council is a typical example of this, as he gained the confidence of the Ministry of Defense in selecting Islamic clerics dealing with the American army, and participated in the material contribution to the election campaigns of a number of American politicians, whether in Congress or the White House, “Vertical ” contributed to the campaign of the Republican He had a close relationship with former US President Bill Clinton and reported evidence of this that the vertical was visiting Libya with special permission from then-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright despite US law stipulating that Americans should not go there, in addition to his appointment as Goodwill Ambassador for the US State during the 1990s.

Despite the vertical interrelationships with a number of prominent personalities in American political affairs that allowed him to work with great freedom, he was arrested in September 2003 for his involvement in a terrorist plot by al-Qaeda to assassinate an Arab leader and was seized with 340,000 dollars.

Investigations revealed that the vertical transfer of millions of dollars in favor of illegal groups abroad in addition to financing the activities of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman in America and the Al-Amadi was sentenced to 23 years' imprisonment. 

Creative chaos .. The Brotherhood, Qatar and America

After the September 11 attacks, the United States blamed the countries of the Middle East as one of the reasons for threatening their national security due to the absence of democracy and political awareness, and the American administration then saw political Islam groups, foremost of which is the Muslim Brotherhood, as the most organized and trained political Islam group that takes moderation and political action, not armed. Her title, It is possible to play a positive role in its favor, protect its national security and the security of Israel, and rein in terrorist organizations if these groups take over in the countries of the Middle East, and accordingly the American administration has decided since when to support the Brotherhood in the countries of the region to achieve gains according to the planned plan.

 And US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in a 2005 Washington Post newspaper press interview, stated the adoption of the concept of creative chaos in the Middle East with the aim of transferring Arab countries from dictatorship to democracy, which strengthened the direction of the American administration by relying on the Brotherhood in the region to implement this plan, The frequency of contacts between the group and America increased with the aim of resolving the situation and creating a state of movement to reach chaos and direct this chaos to overthrow the regimes in a number of Arab countries, especially Egypt, which was already achieved. Wherever there is chaos, the Brotherhood found something that was confirmed by events later in Egypt and Tunisia Libya and Yemen. 

“The Future Forum ” was formed in Qatar in 2006 under the auspices of the American and Qatari governments, which was drafted in its corridors under the pretext of stimulating democratic reform, strengthening the role of civil society organizations, and training young people to change through the use of electronic media. 

“The Academy for Change ” was also established in 2006 and was aimed at training youth cadres and civil society institutions on strategies and means of expression and change and providing the necessary tools. Beginning in 2009, many Arab youth were visiting Doha to train in the academy on a number of tactics, including moving with disturbances Between cities and regions, and work to repeat demonstrations and marches to exhaust the security forces, and work on And also try to neutralize the armed forces as much as possible. Intensive media coverage and mobilization, which was already the case in 2011. 

With the arrival of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009, relations between the American administration and the Brotherhood moved to a very advanced and qualitative stage, as a number of the group's cadres were appointed to executive and advisory positions in the White House in a direction that reveals the new administration's intention to support the Brotherhood with all its tools. The speech of Barack Obama at Cairo University on June 4, 2009 is an indication of this. The leaders of the Brotherhood were an example of Saad Al-Katatni, Hazem Farouk, and Yisri Talaab at the forefront of the attendees based on official invitations from the American embassy bearing the name Obama, The American Atlantic magazine indicated in a report on June 3, 2009, one day before the visit, that Obama insisted on the participation of at least 10 senior leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood to attend his speech at Cairo University.

Months after the Cairo University Conference, the American administration organized the American, World and Islamic Conference in February 2010 in Qatar, whose agenda was based on spreading democracy and freedom in the Middle East, in addition to the American Peace Institute issuing a study entitled “The endeavor to perpetuate democracy in the great Middle East ” On January 21, 2010 it came on 73 pages that noted in its concluding recommendations the need to launch democratic transformations in the Middle East and North Claiming that the current regimes oppress their people and are illegal and must be replaced. 

In January 2011, Qatar organized a conference “Arab youth media ” under the title “The future of youth and media in the Arab world ” for a period of 4 days, and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture “Khaled Youssef Al Mulla ” Ahmed Abdel-Atty <TA Most of the conference workshops were on the use of modern technologies to bring about fundamental changes in Arab society.  

In the same month, Qatar also organized the “Island Forum for Internet Journalism ”, during which “Waddah Khanfar ” The general manager of the island at the time announced the launch of “Communication, Transparency and Blogging Unit ” with the aim of devoting transparency and knowledge to the Arab citizen And the need for Arab systems to review their media policies, Blogs and websites are among the most prominent tools that the group used at that time to achieve its goals. 

Obama's Presidential Order

The New York Times published on February 16, 2011 the Presidential Order Document issued under the title Presidential Study Directive 11 and its symbol PSD 11 signed by Barack Obama on August 12, 2010, and the document indicates that the goal of the presidential order is to conduct a presidential study on change in the countries of the region, foremost of which is Egypt, by forming a team that included Dennis Ross, chief adviser to the president for the Middle East, Samantha Power is responsible for the Human Rights Issues File at the US National Security Council, and Gail Smith is director of the United States Agency for International Development. The team held extensive weekly meetings with experts from the State Department, the CIA and other relevant authorities. 

Although the report on the presidential order came in 18 pages and was supposed to include a discussion of democratic conditions in a number of countries in the region, Egypt won the largest share of the report according to Obama's directives, as a participating source in the meetings indicated a refusal to reveal his identity to the New York Times “That there is no doubt that Egypt was occupying Obama greatly ”.

The weekly meetings committee for the study of the presidential order held several meetings a month and a half after preparing the report of the committee with a number of experts “Egypt's working group ” at the Carnegie Center for Research and Studies in the presence of two of the most prominent members of the US National Security Council “Pradeep Rammorthy ” Director of Global Engagement, <TAG1 Attended from “Egypt Working Group ” Elliot Abrams, Daniel Kalingert, Scott Carpenter, Michelle Dunn, Robert Keegan, Brian Katolis and Tom Malinovsky, in addition to Andrew Albertson and Maria McFarland from Human Rights Watch, and Robert Sattlov from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, to discuss support for political reform in Egypt, which is certain to be the largest group of the Brotherhood 

The study concluded the necessity of bringing about comprehensive political changes in the region and changing its systems of government, which is confirmed by Hillary Clinton's statements on January 13, 2011 in the future forum in Doha, as it criticized Arab leaders and leaders for resisting change, and the day immediately following the events of Tunisia and Egypt followed on January 25 The Brotherhood was the common and fundamental denominator in events in both countries. 

In light of the results of the presidential study, the American administration decided to adopt a strategy based on supporting political Islam groups to take over the reins of government after displacing the ruling regimes and reshaping the Middle East and the Arab world using the Muslim Brotherhood, to be similar to the Turkish state, applying the Justice and Development Party model, and allowing the Brotherhood to reach power In Egypt and other Arab countries.

This was already done in Egypt after the events of January 2011, and the lines of communication became hot between the group and the American agencies, foremost of which is the CIA. With a number of US foreign and national security officials.
