“The Koran is our constitution.”
“The prophet Muhammad is our leader.”
“Jihad is our path.”
“And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.”
These are statements from a speech by
ex-Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi on his election night address at
Cairo University in 2012. Morsi was the first democratically-elected
president in Egypt’s 5,000 year history.
On Wednesday night’s double-episode feature of TheBlaze TV’s For The Record episode “Jihad is Our Way” (8:30 p.m. ET), viewers will get a frighteningly up-close look at Egyptians persecuted under Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and the group’s violent quest for power in Syria as it struggles to survive.
On Wednesday night’s double-episode feature of TheBlaze TV’s For The Record episode “Jihad is Our Way” (8:30 p.m. ET), viewers will get a frighteningly up-close look at Egyptians persecuted under Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and the group’s violent quest for power in Syria as it struggles to survive.
The episodes reveal the real intentions
behind the Islamist group, which has extended its tentacles from Egypt
into Syria, Tunisia, Libya, Europe and even has its own supporters in
the United States.
The Brotherhood’s fighters display a
brutality unseen in recent history as they tear Syria apart at the seams
and kill anyone who obstructs their quest to pursue a global Shariah
caliphate.
Viewer discretion is advised as
TheBlaze reveals uncensored photographs and videos of kidnappings,
executions, beheadings and horrors perpetrated by members of the Muslim
Brotherhood.
“The Muslim Brotherhood from its inception has been a totalitarian death
cult and it started with the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the guy
by the name of Hassan al-Banna, he talked about the art of death and
making death and martyrdom for Allah into an art form and glorified
death into his writings,” said Eric Stakelbeck, terrorism expert and
writer for the Christian Broadcasting Network.
“At the end of the day, whether it’s
Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, the most organized and key point here – most
ruthless factions are the Islamists – they know exactly what they want,
they have a clear goal: Shariah caliphate,” said Stackelbeck, author of
“The Brotherhood, America’s Next Great Enemy.” “In each country,
they’re well organized – they will go for the jugular.”
For The Record
gives the people of Egypt and Syria a voice as they tell their stories
in their own words and reveal what life was like for them behind the
facade of this radical group.
Some wonder why the Obama
administration has not spoken out against the group’s atrocities and
some have even come to believe that the U.S. is secretly supporting the
extremist organization.
The current Interim Foreign Minister
Nabil Fahmy of Egypt told TheBlaze, “I don’t understand how you can be
silent about the terrorism because I know your values, I’ve lived in
America, and what this silence is, is abhorrent in comparison to what
you stand up for in your country.”
Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and
its Egyptian supporters, however, claim that it was the Egyptian
military that instigated the violence against them during lawful
protests. They say members of the Egyptian military have unlawfully
jailed and executed its leadership. Egyptian supporters also claim that
military personnel opened fire on innocent protesters killing women, men
and children who had established sit-in camps in Cairo.
Morsi is now under house arrest after
being ousted from power by the Egyptian military only a year after
becoming president under the Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party. He
was hailed by President Barack Obama for brokering peace between Hamas
and Israel only a day before he set Egyptians reeling when he granted
himself sweeping, absolute powers and made it illegal for the Egyptian
courts to take any action against him or his party.
In the days following his declaration,
20 million to 30 million Egyptians took to the streets in protest
against his edict. The protests were even greater than those during the
revolution that led to the ousting of former Egyptian leader Hosni
Mubarak in 2011.
Gen. Abdel Fattah El- Sisi, the
commander of the Egyptian military who directed the overthrow of Morsi,
told his military leadership on July 14, 2013 that despite what others
in the world perceive as a military overthrow, their actions were
necessary to protect Egypt and its people from the fanatical actions of
the Muslim Brotherhood. The translation of Sisi’s speech is provided by
Middle East Media Research Institute, a nonprofit organization providing
timely translations from the Middle East and research.
“As we have said before we are an
honorable national army, whose toughness derives from our honor,” Sisi
told the auditorium filled with military personnel. “We are not engaged
in any conspiracies or deceptions. We simply could not remain
indifferent. Watching most Egyptians scared and terrified. Feeling like
prisoners with no one to set them free.”
