Will they recognize one another as the soulmates that they are? The Muslim Brotherhood, The Nazis and Al-Qa'idaAl-Qa'ida is the product of an Arab fascist group that was set up in the 1920s, funded by Adolf Hitler, used by British, French and American Intelligence after WWII, and later was supported by the Saudis and reactivated by the CIA. http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/Fascist%20Roots%20of%20Al-Qaeda.htmlExtracted from Nexus Magazine, Volume 12, Number 6 (October - November 2005) www.nexusmagazine.com From a speech by John Loftus (former US Justice Department prosecutor) to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, (Yom Ha'Shoah), April 18, 2004 First published in Jewish Community News, August 2004 <knip> Let me give you an example. This year a friend of mine from the CIA, named Bob Baer, wrote a very good book about Saudi Arabia and terrorism; it's called Sleeping with the Devil.1 I was reading the book and I got about a third of the way through and I stopped. Bob was writing about when he worked for the CIA and how bad the files were. He said, for example, the files for the Muslim Brotherhood were almost nothing. There were just a few newspaper clippings. I called Bob up and said, "Bob, that's wrong. The CIA has enormous files on the Muslim Brotherhood, volumes of them. I know because I read them a quarter of a century ago." He said, "What do you mean?" Here's how you can find all of the missing secrets about the Muslim Brotherhood—and you can do this, too. I said, "Bob, go to your computer and type two words into the search part. Type the word 'Banna', B-a-n-n-a." He said, "Yeah." "Type in 'Nazi'." Bob typed the two words in, and out came 30 to 40 articles from around the world. He read them and called me back and said, "Oh my God, what have we done?" What I'm doing today is doing what I'm doing now: I'm educating a new generation in the CIA that the Muslim Brotherhood was a fascist organisation that was hired by Western Intelligence and evolved over time into what we today know as Al- Qa'ida .
A brief history of the Muslim Brotherhood Here's how the story began. In the 1920s there was a young Egyptian named Al-Banna. And Al-Banna formed this nationalist group called the Muslim Brotherhood. Al-Banna was a devout admirer of Adolf Hitler and wrote to him frequently. So persistent was he in his admiration of the new Nazi Party that in the 1930s Al-Banna and the Muslim Brotherhood became a secret arm of Nazi Intelligence. The Arab Nazis had much in common with the new Nazi doctrines: they hated Jews; they hated democracy; and they hated the Western culture. It became the official policy of the Third Reich to secretly develop the Muslim Brotherhood as the "fifth parliament", an army inside Egypt. When war broke out, the Muslim Brotherhood promised in writing that they would rise up and help General Rommel and make sure that no English or American soldier was left alive in Cairo or Alexandria. The Muslim Brotherhood began to expand in scope and influence during World War II. They even had a Palestinian section headed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, one of the great bigots of all time. Here, too, was a man...the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the Muslim Brotherhood representative for Palestine. These were undoubtedly Arab Nazis. The Grand Mufti, for example, went to Germany during the war and helped recruit an international SS division of Arab Nazis. They based it in Croatia and called it the Handzar Muslim Division, but it was to become the core of Hitler's new army of Arab fascists that would conquer the Arabian Peninsula and, from there, on to Africa—grand dreams. At the end of World War II, the Muslim Brotherhood was wanted for war crimes. Their German Intelligence handlers were captured in Cairo. The whole net was rolled up by the British Secret Service. Then a horrible thing happened. Instead of prosecuting the Nazis—the Muslim Brotherhood—the British Government hired them.

Brotherhood Wins 12 Egypt Parliament Seats By JASPER MORTIMER, Associated Press Writer Thu Dec 8, 4:56 AM ET http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:Jnfxju39UoYJ:news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051208/ap_on_re_mi_ea/egypt_elections_16+egypt+parliament+seats&hl=en&lr=lang_nl|lang_en|lang_de|lang_es&client=firefox-a
CAIRO, Egypt - Preliminary results in Egypt's elections gave the leading opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, a record 19 percent of the seats in parliament after a four-week election with unprecedented political violence.
The results — released privately Thursday by an official in the Interior Ministry, which oversaw the election — came a day after at least eight people were killed as police battled to stop voters reaching polling stations in Muslim Brotherhood strongholds.
In Wednesday's runoff polling, the Brotherhood won 12 seats, the National Democratic Party of President Hosni Mubarak and its allies took 111 seats, and the opposition front two seats, said the ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. Two more seats remain undecided.
If those results are confirmed, the tolls from Wednesday's runoffs would give the ruling NDP and its allies 333 seats, or 73 percent of parliament, and the Brotherhood 88 seats. Other opposition parties and independents would have 21 seats. Twelve seats are undecided and reruns are expected to be held. The parliament holds 454 seats, 10 of which are appointed by the president.
The results mean the Brotherhood — a group that is banned but tolerated with restrictions — has won almost six times the 15 seats it held in the outgoing assembly.
Under U.S. pressure to bring about democratic reform, Mubarak gave the Brotherhood unusual leeway in the campaign, but his security forces cracked down after the first round of polling on Nov. 9 when it became evident that the Islamic group had far more popular support than expected.
In Wednesday's polling, as in the second and third rounds, lines of police officers in riot gear blockaded numerous polling stations in opposition strongholds.
Supporters of the banned Brotherhood fought back, hurling stones and molotov cocktails and cornering security forces in some towns.
Wednesday's toll of eight dead brought the death toll to 10 people. Hundreds have been wounded and more than 1,000 arrested, mainly supporters of the Brotherhood.
The United States had criticized the level of violence even before Wednesday's fatalities. "We've seen a number of developments over the past couple weeks during the parliamentary elections that raise serious concerns about the path of political reform in Egypt," U.S. State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said Tuesday.
The fighting between would-be voters on the one hand, and police and government supporters was particularly severe in the Nile Delta on Wednesday.
Government supporters, some armed with machetes, got out of an armored police vehicle in the Delta city of Zagazig, 50 miles northeast of Cairo, and attacked voters who had been pushing to break through police lines outside a polling station.
A 14-year-old boy, Mohammed Karam el-Taher, was killed when police fired at the demonstrators in Qattawiya, a village in the Nile Delta province of el-Sharqiya. Another demonstrator in the same village, Mohammed Ahmed Mahdi, 22, died of gunshot wounds to the head.
In the southern city of Sohag, up to 400 voters waited for hours outside the Mohammed Farid School polling station but were blocked from entering by lines of police.
Interior Ministry spokesman Ibrahim Hammad denied that police were blockading polling stations, saying the police were protecting the stations and "helping the voters to reach the ballot box."
In the outgoing parliament, the NDP had 398 seats, the Brotherhood controlled 15, independents held 23 and opposition legislators had 16.
The Muslim Brotherhood calls for implementing Islamic law but is vague about what that means. It campaigns for headscarves for women and against immodest dress, for example, but it insists it stands for a more moderate version of Islam than that followed in Saudi Arabia.
