Someone kindly sent me the composite of reports attached to this e-mail which refers to an important US case involving the ‘Holy Land Foundation’, currently being pursued in Dallas, Texas.
Of special interest is a strategic planning document or ‘Explanatory Memorandum’ distributed in 1991 to the governing Council (Shura) of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US and Canada.
This has been translated from Arabic by Federal Investigators, and can be found (in Arabic and English)
here.
Because of the interest of the document, I have prepared an overview of its main points and implications.
This plan, dating from 1991, lays out a strategy for developing and linking together organisations which serve the project of ‘settling’ (i.e. establishing)
Islam in North America, that is, of making Islam firmly rooted and permanently established within the North America. The purpose of this ‘settlement’ is described in the document:
The Ikwhan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all religions.
The document explains that establishing Islam on a firm base in the US is the best contribution which US Muslims can make to the greater global project of establishing a ‘global Islamic state’.
The ‘settlement project’ is a ‘grand mission’ which is ‘a “Civilizational Jihadist” responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and – on top of them – the Muslim Brotherhood in this country.’
Organisational strategies are said to focus on the building up Islamic Centres (built around mosques) in every city, supporting multiple functions. The Islamic Centres would be places for ‘study, family, battalion, course, seminar, visit, sport, school, social club, women gathering, kindergarten for male and female youngsters, the office of domestic political resolution, and the centre for distributing our newspapers, magazines, books and our audio and visual tapes.’
Organisations included in the scope of the strategic plan include: Islamic schools, kindergartens, women’s organizations, Islamic banking, publishing and media organisations, interfaith dialogue groups, Islamic courts, political action groups, research centres, a training organization for female preachers, an association of Muslim lawyers, and many others.
Especially interesting in the document is the list of 29 organisations which the Brotherhood in the US considered to be either ‘our organizations’ or the ‘organizations of our friends’. These appear to include a large number of the main Muslim organisations across the US, including general ones such as the Islamic Society of North America or the North American Islamic Trust, as well as specialised groups such as the Islamic Medical Association. (One can note the prominent place which medicos have played in the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as in various jihadist organisations.
Some of these Brotherhood-linked groups are clearly linked to prominent Australian Muslim organisations.
If this strategic plan is proving successful, then one might expect that the whole interlocking institutional and organisational apparatus of American Islamic organisations is linked into and coordinated by the Muslim Brotherhood’s networks. If this is indeed the case, then what has given the Brotherhood such influence in North America will have been its strategic vision.

The media has been doing an excellent job in ignoring the spectacular revelations at the trial against the Holyland Foundation, once America’s largest Muslim charity organization, now taking place. Evidence is being revealed that shows a hidden agenda and widespread conspiracy amongst all the so-called “moderate” major Muslim groups in America to totally destroy the country, the culture, Western values. The information below came from Homeland Security’s own website, followed by an editorial in Investor’s Business Daily. I’d like to hear what U.S. presidential candidates have to say about this. If any of you get a chance, ask them.
The The Holy Land Foundation Case; What you are not hearing in the Media Submitted by Lan Lamphere on Fri, 2007-08-10 18:59. Podcast http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/node/1145
Aug 10, 2007: Yesterday ended the second full week of trial testimony in the case against The Holy Land Foundation for Relief & Development, once the largest Muslim charity in the United States . After a lengthy investigation by U.S. federal authorities that resulted in the organization’s assets being frozen in 2001, and the filing of a 42-count criminal indictment in 2004, prosecutors have been methodically presenting their case against the organization and seven named defendants in a downtown Dallas , Texas courtroom.
Trial Watch, a special broadcast of The Homeland Security Report hosted by Doug Hagmann, brings you important information about the trial that is not being covered by the mainstream media. Listen to Doug Hagmann – an investigator with over 20 years of experience in civil and criminal cases – as he recaps the case against the Muslim charity as presented by the prosecution, carefully sorts through the mountain of evidence presented by the prosecution linking the charity and the defendants to the Islamic terrorist organization HAMAS. Doug Hagmann describes the testimony of lead FBI agent Lara Burns in her presentation of hundreds of documents that link HLF funding directly to HAMAS terrorist operations in the Middle East . This segment of Trial Watch identifies members of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), including executive director Nihad Awad, who is purported to have direct knowledge that the giant funding apparatus known as the Holy Land Foundation was financing terrorist operations in the Middle East.
Doug Hagmann also details the prosecution’s linkage between a named defendant in this case to a spiritual advisor to at least two of the September 11, 2001 hijackers. Also detailed in this broadcast is the 1993 meeting held in Philadelphia between U.S. based HAMAS members and CAIR’s executive director. The meeting was held to discuss ways to improve funding for HAMAS, and derail the Oslo Peace Accords.

A Muslim ‘Mafia’?

Homeland Security: Forget everything you’ve been told about “moderate” Muslim groups in America. New evidence that U.S. prosecutors have revealed at a major terror trial exposes the facade.
Exhibit No. 003-0085 is the most chilling. Translated from Arabic by federal investigators in the case against the Holy Land Foundation, an alleged Hamas front, the secret document outlines a full-blown conspiracy by the major Muslim groups in America – all of which are considered “mainstream” by the media.
In fact, they are part of the “Ikhwan,” or Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas, al-Qaida and other major Islamic terror groups. They have conspired to infiltrate American society with the purpose of undermining it and turning it into an Islamic state.
Check out this quote from Page 7 of the 1991 document:
“The Ikwhan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all religions.”
Sounds like the latest screed from Osama bin Laden. But it comes from the Muslim establishment in America.
The secret plan lists several Saudi-backed Muslim groups as “friends” of the conspiracy.
They include the Islamic Society of North America – the umbrella organization – and the North American Islamic Trust, which controls most of the mosques in America and is the forerunner to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, this country’s most visible Muslim-rights group.
All three have been cited as unindicted co-conspirators in the case, with all three sharing membership in the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet all have claimed, in the wake of 9/11, to be moderate, even patriotic.
Another exhibit reveals their plan to create innocuous-sounding “front groups” to hide their radical agenda.
Many in the media and politics have fallen for their deception and helped bring them into the mainstream.
Now everyone knows the truth.
The Muslim establishment that publicly decries the radical fringe – represented by Hamas and al-Qaida – may actually be a part of it. The only difference is that they use words and money instead of bombs to accomplish their subversive goals.
Over the past two decades they have constructed, with Saudi money, an elaborate infrastructure of support for the bad guys – right under our noses.
They even brag about putting “beehives” (Islamic centers) in every major city.
These exhibits – which so far have been ignored by major media outside the Dallas area, where the trial is under way – completely blow the mainstream Muslim NGOs’ cover as pro-American moderates. Many, if not most, aren’t.
This is their real agenda, spelled out in black and white. It should help investigators build a RICO case to dismantle the entire terror-support network in America.
Many have suspected it, but now we have proof that there is a secret underworld operating inside America under the cover of fronts with legitimate-sounding names.
It even uses charities to launder money for violent hits on enemies. It’s highly organized, with its own internal bylaws and security to avoid monitoring from law enforcement.
Sounds like the Mafia.
But unlike the mob, this syndicate is religious in nature and protected by political correctness.
More evidence like this should put an end to such nonsense.
