“Most certainly [Osama Bin Laden] is a Mujahid. I do not doubt his sincerity in resisting occupation for the sake of God Almighty.” – Mohammed Mahdi Akef, Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide (2008 ) The question of responsibility for 9/11 has always been a contentious issue. Not in the conspiratorial sense. There’s no doubt (among serious people) that the attacks were planned, coordinated and carried out by Mohammad Atta and his 18 fellow hijackers, all of them members of al-Qaeda operating under a plan conceived by Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and ultimately at the behest of al-Qaeda Emir Osama Bin Laden. But questions remain about how far the network of culpability should be extended. As the Center’s Dave Wursmer discussed,…Open

However an examination of past polling data indicates a long-term trend of support for violent jihad. Nothing New In May of 2007, Pew did another poll of Muslims in America which revealed some disturbing views. When asked if suicide bombing of…Open

The article highlights that Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood—an organization dedicated to global jihad—and notes critical ideological links between Hamas founders and Al Qaeda co-founder Sheikh Abdullah Yusuf Azzam. Given this widespread support for a group committed to violent…Open
