muslim brotherhood? >> the us doesn't understand the muslim brotherhood, at least not yet. >> reporter: egypt's revolution may have been ignited by young, secular activists, but there was another powerful force at work behind the scenes of the uprising: the long-outlawed muslim brotherhood. day 11. they opened this prayer rally on tahrir square with a moment of silence for those whdied the priousay in battles with pro-mubarak vigilantes >> reporter: many of the fallen were muslim brothers. afterwards, they were all praised for their perseverance and unity. >> reporter: anyone who's covered egypt for years knows about the brotherhood's profound influence on egyptian society. coming back at this extraordinary time, i wanted to find out what part they were playing in this revolution. >> reporter: hi. i'm charles. nice to meet you. on tahrir square, i found mohammed abbas-- a leader of the muslim brotherhood's youth wing. for the past month, abbas had been working alongside secular activists from the april 6

there's the muslim brotherhood in its new political party, and some further liberal than the muslim brotherhood with the overall muslim framework. it's impossible to know how much the divisions matter and whether indeed the brotherhood is trying to create the appearance of political division to make themselves look more moderate, and, ,in fact, so some e diswriptions the appeal of the -- egyptians, the appeal is not as extreme. we may be reaping some of the negative benefits of this perception when elections are held later this year. madam chairman, i believe deep concern about the brotherhood's e jeer gens -- emergence is warranted. as i noted in a previous congressional testimony, the brotherhood is not as some people suggested, not an egyptian version of the march of dimes. it is not merely a social organization committed to improving the welfare of the egyptian people. it is a profoundly political organization that seeks to reorder egyptian and broader muslim society in a certain political direction. tactically, i believe the opposition exploits whatever opportunities offered. they renounce

going to america here, it is really important to know the difference between muslim brotherhood. most of them have their own political agenda. most here have not. therapy here is different. it belongs to the face of dividing muslim brother and the therapy here are working for the same therapy agenda which belong to the dividing the war into two camps. the camps of the islam or muslim and the cap of -- so. i am thinking about their own in our most particular agenda. they believe that the final will come just before the day ends of the war. and they will. there are other, so they need some people to be in the enemy camp to make the muslim community here in west and in the u.s. fit the column. so they control most of the mosquing here and islamic schools and others to brainwash people, the muslim community here to be just like them. this is a big problem. i'm not talking about just -- just talking about i have evidence now. i look at this. this is the official translation made by the saudis. official translation of the koran. they mistranslate the koran. not only in the main translat

the stealth or civilization jihad is like the muslim brotherhood. although i contend they're this one as well. we've shown you this guy before. usef al caradali. the spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood. the ninth most rated muslim on the earth. you might remember what he has said about the jewish people. >> glenn: remember, muslim brotherhood, they've changed. they're not like that anymore. though he is their spiritual leader. there is something else he has said we haven't told you about yet on this program. he said it in 2006. he was talking to the bbc about charity in the islamic culture. that's called the cot. now, here are his exact words on the subject. "i don't like this word 'donations .' i like to call it 'jihad with money ,' because god ordered to us fight our enemies with our lives and our money. jihad with money. " that's where we want to start tonight. jihad doesn't always come in the form of a suicide vest or a plane flown into buildings there are jihaddists working to destroy america from within. through the economy. and through

i don't think the muslim brotherhood necessarily wants to be president. they don't want to rule directly. they want to run the education system, they want to run the lawyer syndicates. and they're willing to wait 20 years, 50 years, a hundred years. so eventually will they have a lot of input in egypt? yes, certainly unless things change. as it is now, they know if they became president and suddenly there's a muslim brotherhood president of egypt, economic repercussions would be severe and the international world would not like it. they would react negatively. if he this run all the basic structures in society the people who pick up your trash and teach your children, they can have a lot of power. >> charlie: also on this program is abdullah abdullah former foreign minister who you know well. his assessment of afghanistan is not optimistic either because principally he says of the corruption of the karzai regime. >> he should know very well. i was up there when he was running against karzai and that election was wildly corrupted. everyone knew it was corr

polarizing society but without the army a power vacuum and poised to step into that vacuum the muslim brotherhood links to al-qaeda the brotherhood is understood to be multiplying and organizing from the mosques according to their spokesperson they expect to win seventy five percent of the electoral seats they contest in september is election son expects something more sinister there might be a deal. between the army and between the muslim brotherhood to share power and basically hijack the whole revolution this is the oldest and the best organized political movement in opposition and of course if the field is more or less leveled now after mubarak has gone they have more chances than others who are not well organized back at the beginning of the year european leaders appear to adopt a hands off approach to supporting democracy in egypt at least democratic change has to start. it needs to happen now the growth of freedom and democracy. but americans are now arriving in droves to exert their influence over the democratization process it's very worrying to see so many advisers from washington arriv

but nobody i've seen believes that the muslim brotherhood can generate more than 25% of the vote. so all of a sudden we now have the 23% that will fall in the reformist movement plus, the 25% that falls into the muslim brothers. and i'm saying, who's the 52%? where do those people come from? and where do they go? and none of us know. we have to speculate what their thinking is and that's what makes it so difficult as an analyst sitting here in washington. you get some idea of where these people come from if you look back and look at the 2005 parliamentary election. in those elections, mubarak tried to reform the ndp into being a more democratic, more western-oriented, more worldly party. and what he did is in the party convention he engineered the replacement of the traditional ndp candidates from rural areas with young, urban aggressive people with some roots in the community but they were his people. they were western oriented. they went to school in english and they knew the world and they replaced the traditional leaders in those areas with those candidates. the traditional lea

groups within islam does not mean it is some sort of without a full party and in the muslim brotherhood a lot of weight has become integrated into the economy it's composed of many different sectors there are in fact parts of the party that tend to be pregnant because lead more secular especially the youth wing also it looks like they're willing to very much play well with the egyptian armed forces who are really a bold large. conservative in the region who are allied with israel as the united states so even if they they claim that they're not going to try to. parliamentary majority or run the candidate or the president the elections are upcoming in september but nonetheless they are the best position and they are trying to take advantage what it means precisely so i think in the end we have to remember that secular forces in egypt are very strong democratic forces and so even if they do have a large power like it to. be really becomes to become some sort of radical regime i think people are also very well aware of what's going on in iran for the last thirty years and are wary of that m

they are the muslim brotherhood. not a non religious group, the whole agenda or program is to have more religious lot in egypt and if they just wanted to live on their own and live under sharia law and live life, fine. that is great. but it's so it has greater implications of national security and western europe where they try to export this thinking and ideology. of course, for israel it has huge ramifications because their survival is on the line. i don't get why the united states puts his hands off approach for me to reinforce the people who like us and egypt to promote their agenda then we might have a better outcome. but instead, it seems to me almost the intellectual game and the quest for the moderate muslim brotherhood man. it happens every time and they say the same thing about communist. they don't exist and our search for them with the politically correct approach leads to bad things and the administration has to get its head screwed on straight about the severe risks that we face in this crisis and it can

it's significant but again the muslim brotherhood of two thousand and eleven is not the muslim brotherhood of nine hundred eighty two when crushed crushed them in one hundred and killed twenty thousand people this appears to be a very broad based movement the sort of thing we've seen frankly in tunisia and egypt in libya me throughout the middle east this is young people this is islam assists this is people without jobs people who want some kind of democratic freedom some sort of ability to control their lives but if a. radical islamist group got into power what would america do with its. strong friendship with israel. well again this is it's really premature to speak about what happened obviously sunni muslims would have a bigger say because they are a majority in syria and they're being run by a minority regime but if you add up all the various groups and so on there's probably an echo librium between alawite christians druze and sudanese you have secular people you have people who are not particularly religious as i said the most hopeful scenario is something that really is more democra

focused but of sight of egypt which is the most active for influential chapter of the muslim brotherhood, for it simple, what role does the jordanian brotherhood play in that country and is there an international muslim brotherhood? out of the arab will just don't know anything about them. in terms of the active political role probably the most prominent is obviously hamas, an offshoot muslim brotherhood that really identifies with it and they are covering half, governing hadassah. second would be in kuwait where they said ministers to the government. they are a major political force in jordan with your very much in opposition force. in terms of the international organization, there is some sort of a formal international organization. when i go to countries and look for signs of this activity i don't really see any. it seems to be sort of coordinating and swapping experiences in a region dominated organization effectively, the international so that people in other countries kind of will sometimes look and say it's dominated by the egyptians we don't have any ownership of it on paper and

muslim brotherhood muslim brotherhood despite that i think then the next day then obama came out and said no it's time to step aside i think some of the other rulers have learned. i think the the president of yemen doesn't want to end up like mubarak being on trial so he cut a deal that says ok i'll leave but you know no prosecution no for me and even in syria they did try it in the emergency emergency law but i think when it comes to whether x. turtle powers like you know europe the united states should get involved that becomes a different situation it's one thing to talk rhetorical it's another thing to do what we've done for example in libya and you're quite right in terms of saudi arabia will we will try and get the regime to modernize to you know share power will try to do the same thing in bahrain where we're not going to have very little was out because well i will try. these are going to be a difference between rhetoric and you know the actual law the actual law of policy i mean when you say really you know you look at this very very important right now to go ahead you're ju

and then he meets with the muslim brotherhood.ing which the brotherhood promises to support democracy and the war on terror. november, 2010, while everybody was watching the mid-term elections, just last fall, the obama administration was focused on something else. they conducted an in-depth review of its policy on democracy and the middle east. the egyptian democracy issue in particular. now no one attending the meeting would discuss any of the details. by the bipartisan group attending the meeting are these groups they're almost all soros groups. entirely george soros funded groups. back to samantha power. she was in attendance with the george soros groups where they are meeting about democracy, last november in egypt. samantha is described now as the foremost voice on human rights. she has the president's ear and his trust. the fact that obama went in to libya, using the responsibility to protect montra despite his obvious past statements, calling that dumb, powers calls this a perm triumph. she is the advisor. now, this is odd
