The Muslim Brotherhood, or "Ikhwan," has engaged in
terrorism, assassinations, and anti-Western,
anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence for almost a
century--yet few Americans realize how powerful they
really are. While we focus on al Qaeda, Hamas, and
Hezbollah, it's actually the Muslim Brotherhood, the
world's oldest, most influential, and most anti-American
Islamist group, that has become the preeminent voice and
power in the Muslim world. Hiding behind a cloak of
respectability and expensive Western suits, the Muslim
Brotherhood is installing vehemently anti-American
governments and power structures throughout the Middle
East and the world, as we sit back and cheer for the
"democracy" of the Arab Spring. In his new book,
"The Brotherhood: America's Next Great Enemy," Erick
Stakelbeck teaches us the frightening truth about this
dangerous group, from his first-hand experiences
investigating the Brotherhood for eleven years,
interviewing its members and visiting its mosques and
enclaves. In "The Brotherhood," Stakelbeck:
Reveals how the Obama administration has put the
Brotherhood on the threshold of power at every
turn Examines the alarming ramifications for America,
Europe and Israel of the Brotherhood's rapid
rise Warns against the West's--particularly the
Left's--shortsighted, naive and deadly embrace of the
Ikhwan and Traces the group from its violent roots to
its current strategy of "stealth jihad" With Middle
Eastern unrest only growing hotter, and saber-rattling
at the West only growing louder, the Muslim
Brotherhood's growing global clout will remain on the
front burner of American national security challenges.
Revealing and disconcerting, "The Brotherhood" is a
must-read for every American hoping to remain in a free
America.
