the muslim brotherhood strategy. he muslim brotherhood strategy. not every muslim but the muslim brotherhood like it or not to wear the most influential organization not only in egypt but i'm an american as well. they have muscled their way to the forefront and they have intimidated any opposition. there is a reason that in the year 2000 there were 1200 mosques in america. by 2011 there were over 2100 mosques so in the span of a little more than a decade the number of mosques in america doubled. since 9/11 by the way. now when i look at the muslim brotherhood strategic documents and it calls for an increase in mosque building in america as part of their strategy they call and i quote mosques islamic centers the axis of their movement where battalions are supplied. they compare mosques to ap hides the center of activity for the brotherhood and its followers. and first comes the mosques and then comes the enclave. they use the mosque and the saudi's as a beachhead for radical islam. now it could be a neighborhood like o

was embracing the muslim brotherhood backed government. mohamed morsi was the legitimate leader of egypt. our next guest believes that was a terrible mistake because few americans, he says, realize how powerful the brotherhood really is and what their real goals are in terms of the threat that they could pose to western culture and to the united states. we'll talk to him in a little while. stick around for that. >>> in the meantime, i want to get you to the other fox news alert today. an investigation under way into a devastating plane crash that happened this morning near birmingh birmingham alabama's airport. it the plane originated in kentucky and it crashed. look at these incredible pictures. it literally broke in half as it came to approach and burst into flames. the pilot and co-pilot both gone. both fatalities in this crash. at this hour we're learning new details from eyewitnesses. one saying she heard what sounded like engines sputtering and then a very loud boom. we heard reports this morning about a sonic boom sound that was hear

one of the first financiers was a very senior muslim brotherhood figure. by twoas a documentary newsweek journalists about the whole brotherhood and the continuum between the brotherhood and al qaeda. topic.very complex it is a very large, complex topic. we have got to look at what's happening in egypt right now. recently, there is a difference between a judge and muslim brotherhood and what they do and think and versus the al qaeda approach. we can talk about this distinction and say there are some commonalities at times between them in terms of political goals. but certainly not in terms of tactics. the brotherhood has been more accommodating of modernity. toosama bin laden referred the brotherhood as a half solution in one of the last letters he wrote. islamistt the newest regimes would not for new opportunities for -- offer new opportunities for al qaeda fossilization. there are differences between them, but commonalities. >> ok. >> systems analytics. i think that trying to tie the muslim brotherhood and al qaeda together is not a requisite for recogniz

do you think that the muslim brotherhood will take that as it is? >> no. i don't think the brotherhood's going to buy that? the government wants control of the government of egypt. they don't want to participate in it as was demonstrated by mohamed morsi when he was president. they were engaged in a creeping kro coup. they were determined having gotten control of the government once they were never going to reling kwish it. i think what the military is trying to do is calm down some of the political leaders in the united states and europe who were upset about the carnage. i think we're all upset about the violence we've seen. the idea somehow this is exclusively the military's fault i think is a misreading of the situation. i think the military is trying to make it clear they would like to minimize the violence, too. if you have an element of society that won't recognize the authority of the government i think the military has very little choice. i think many of the pro-democracy, pro pwestern civilian leaders understand this point. >> what does the adminis

the muslim brotherhood has already abandoned the notion of the presidency.s goes far beyond morsi at this point. we are talking about hose me mubarak out of prison and the end of the resolution -- revolution. this is about completely abandoning democracy and the rule of law. all of the things that were fought for back in january 2011. that is really what this is about. it is no longer about the muslim brotherhood or about the presidency of morsi. at is what we have to keep in mind. >> ok, both sides. on twitter, we have this point. the west should learn to respect the free will of sovereign nations. human rights watch calls last week's killing the most serious incident of mass unlawful killing in modern egyptian history. nonetheless, earlier, the uk foreign secretary. >> well, we recognize states, not governments. the united kingdom recognizes egypt, and we have to deal with the government there their. it is important. the prime minister of egypt. >> that it is legitimate. >> it is the government of egypt. it is the government we have to deal with. we do not

we are hearing the muslim brotherhood has called off the protest for today. do you expect any unrest to continue into the night? >> they called actually for a week of uprising, so we can expect that the protests we have seen in cairo and all over the country will continue across the week. one of the new qualities today, compared to, for example, last wednesday was that we had much more armed clashes today between civilians. a lot of muslim brotherhood people on the street while the military and police were watching. some of the dead are not coming from the military or the police, but from clashes between civilians. >> let's talk about the military for a moment. it cannot just wish the muslim brotherhood to disappear. it is a fact of egypt in life. does it really think that this repression is the answer? >> it could the -- it could be that they are trying to push t muslim brotherhood to the point where they have to radicalize, where they have to become more extreme, where some of them have to become more militant. that is something they can deal much better wi

that is when the muslim brotherhood's fate was sealed. if they won the election, one success is not an option. success was never going to be an option. when you know you're going to fail, this raises serious questions for the future of your organization. a strategy -- a tragic moment with one party. the personalities in charge of the religious organization are simply too strong to be contained. they have no formal position in the political party. they exceed the balance and they are in effect directing political activism. this is the case for maybe one one ofmost people.-- salafists.fluential what happens is the party -- the structure starts crumbling. there are defections. you can trace this decomposition of the party up until present day. the party today is really a shell that provides it does not provide a fig leaf for the close the post-coupfor government. it quickly backtracks from supporting the military options. the leadership of the party is no longer willing to support the crackdowns of the military in cairo and other places. som

what the muslim brotherhood could stop. the brotherhood for its part has continued to be extremely defiant the mosque is right next to a police station that the brotherhood had tried to storm yesterday and a number of people were injured in that. and then they took refuge there in the mosque. the army is vowing to crack down. they have threatened to outlaw the muslim brotherhood. there are tanks and armored personnel carriers on the streets and obviously cairo has turned into something of an urban battlefield with both sides fearing now live ammunition. part of the army's strategy is round up the senior leadership of muslim brotherhood and affiliated organizations. one person they've arrested mohammed al saturday wir zawiri. he was let out when the muslim brotherhood took power a few months before that. and he is now back in custody for inciting things there in egypt. they're trying to see if they can't round up the leadership of the muslim brotherhood and therefore turn off the flame on this pot that appears to be boiling

>> there is a campaign right now against the muslim brotherhood, have you to understand that the muslim brother hood has a long history. this is the party of the president that was just ousted, mohammed morsi, the group that was leading the campaign today to protest the group that did most of the dying today. the muslim brotherhood has been fighting for power for 85 years. it was crushed under sadat, it was crushed under mubarak, finally when the united states threw hosni mubarak under a bus. there were the elections, and the muslim brotherhood finally came to power. the military didn't like it, it never liked it, it waited until morsi was so unpopular that people were out on the streets, and came out and said we are acting to help the people, and now with that emergency law that has just been passed, i think we're going to see the government and the military and the police force really go after the muslim brotherhood in a big way. the muslim brotherhood has some supporters, it has a core group of several million. now after so much blood on the streets, the muslim brotherhood has a camp

>> lou, i don't think they are supporting the muslim brotherhood. i think what they want to avoid is the muim brotherhood going underground and starting to wage the kind of terrorism within egypt that the jihadees have ged throughout the middle east. the only way to do that is to get the military to include them in some way, shape, or form. and so you send mccain and you send graham to deliver that message. >> that message -- that isn't the message i flank heard them deliver, insisting upon egyptian/brotherhood participation. speaking directly to the leaders of the secular military, including the general, this is preposterous on its face to me that their idea about avoiding a guerilla war with a muslim brotherhood is to put them in a significant role within a coalition, a governor coalition. >> well, i think as long as the military is calling the shots, you can afford to have some muslim brotherhood participation without risking military civilian control or i should say military secular control of the country. >> but we're talking about an organizati

what could this mean for the muslim brotherhood?could tensions really flame up as a result of this gecko >> he is a liberal politician who rose through the ranks of the international atomic energy agency which he led. he was kind of emblematic of the liberal backlash against the muslim brotherhood for their failures and overreaches and government and done, unfortunately, they put their faith in a military coup, which is clearly what this is, and it has not worked out well. in order for him to kind of preserve his dignity, so to speak, he has had to resign. >> what about the spiritual leader retained? >> he is the former head of the -- the current head of the brotherhood, as you say. he was arrested in conjunction with accusations that the muslim brotherhood had ordered the killings of protesters outside of muslim brotherhood party headquarters during the initial wave of protests that brought down the morsi government. again, these things are very coyote. i don't think there is any real doubt that the muslim brotherhood may be involv

i swear this is not a revolution this is war. >> what is the muslim brotherhood want? >> they doesn't know anything about a peace. they only know about jihad. it's like hamas. muslim muslim brotherhood in is is this too. muslim brotherhood in egypt need everyone in egypt, he makes big beard and be with all the woman here and the girl with the barb and -- the cover up and all the guys to have beards. >> yeah. i'm very sure that's what happened in egypt. this is not iran this is egypt. >> to try to end the conflict from the side of those in the egyptian military called -- we drove to a muslim muslim brotherhood in cairo and we're on our way with a family that's part of the muslim brotherhood that was killed. and the protests this week -- >> translator: abdul raham was protesting and he was there speaking for islam. >> reporter: he was killed an august 14 to test the out ster the interim president mohammed morsi. >> translator: they were sparing bullets and tear gas. the tanks moved in and began firing on them. >> translator: i saw more than people did firing in every dire

people hear about the muslim brotherhood, it's in our interests for the muslims to take control, theoderates in the military, and get rid of the muslim brotherhood. we don't want u.s. boots on the ground. we want to get rid of the muslim brotherhood. they were outlawed for 30 plus years under hosni mubarak and frankly, i hope that general assisi, the current military leader there, gets rid of them. and this is the fight that the muslims must be doing. if they don't do it successfully, lou, i am confident that the whole middle east will eventually be radical islamists, no matter what you call them. >> and with your straightforward, clear view on the muslim brotherhood, general al sissy as well, the leader of the secular military and interim government, why are we listening to so many prominent republican officials, including senator john mccain and others, say cut off aid, whichs a reversal of their positi leading up to just recent da? >> it is baffling, lou. i really don't know what they're thinking. if -- maybe they don't understand the ideology of the muslim brotherhood. obviously

they say the muslim brotherhood believes in democracy. so i think this plays into the hand of the islamists. >> let me bring in robin one last time. what should we be focused on? as we go into the weekend, what are you paying attention to? >> i think we're all very concerned about how far this goes. one of the great problems in egypt is there's no middle ground. you have two extremes that have taken very firm positions that are not willing to compromise and that means, you know, that civil strife is more likely to continue and the great concern is whether that strife then deteriorates into a repetition of what happened in algeria 20 years ago when it devaufld into a civil war. >> is there any debate within the egyptian government do you suspect? >> i think there are fragment that say both the military and the government on one side and the muslim brotherhood have diverse voices, arguing over what the best course is. but there's no indication yet that either side is willing to compromise on these fundamental visions of what the future hold

they had had it with mohammed morsi and the muslim brotherhood and they wanted the egyptian militaryto take charge and restored egypt's egypt and a sweater that is is why they are having such a difficult time finding a voice. lou: honestly i see it more than just difficult. it is still conflicted in its statements, sending senator graham and senator mccain to support the inclusion of the muslim brotherhood so that the other will once are part of this. >> we have made it clear. but there are many decision-makers both with the legislative branches in the city who think that counts. it is part of the war on terror. what happened today they have been feeding all the other jihadist and even more. so the army listens to what they have said. it is a militia that is controlling this. lou: by this administration supporting us. >> they are starting to wage this cherish them that they have waged throughout the middle east. the only way to do that is to get them to include them in some way shape or form. >> that message egyptian brotherhood participation. leaders of the secular military includin

>> well, the muslim brotherhood is part of a body called the ain't could yo coup alliance. it's predominantly the one that the muslim brotherhood has been fighting since it's ousted president, mohamed morsi, six weeks ago. many are outraged at the methods used. and there are those while not supporting the muslim brotherhood or, indeed, morsi, but are upset that he was removed by military force. although it has been current popular thought to number support by numbers in street, not necessarily correct, jew a reminder, the political arm of the muslim brotherhood was the predominant party at the last democratically election held. whether or not those supporters are still out in the streets, that's a matter of conjecture. it could be wrong and dangerous to calculate support by the number of people who are actually out in the street, which is what the anti-coup alliance is expected to do. >> in indian a court is expected to deliver its verdict on the role of a minor in the gang rape of a woman. the police say he was the most brutal and torture of the 23-year-old victim. she was

and that now, he seems to think that he could erratic the muslim brotherhood through a group force. that's not going to work. even at the height of mubarak's 30-year reign, the brotherhood, they had some seats in parliament. he knew, mubarak knew, he treated them like they needed a sting valve and he regulated it quite carefully. but to try to just crush them completely, it is not going to work. it seems to me that unless they reinstate him in some sort of power sharing arrangement, that this is going to continue. they are not just protesting in tahrir square, they're protesting all over the country. >> the united states gives them $1.5 billion a year. in military and non-military aide. do you think that should be suspended? >> i don't think that it is close. the military is using the aid to slaughter people in the streets. that seems like a pretty clear- cut case. if we continue to give the military aid, that makes us accomplices in these atrocities. >> what do you think, mark? >> we must continue with it. egypt is the corner stone of our support in the muslim and arab world. withou

i think in egypt matters that happen it matters too because egypt's muslim brotherhood is the director and until all of the original muslim brotherhood which began the wave of political is being important across the middle east in recent years and especially during the period of spring so defeat of this kind for the muslim brotherhood and of course with the removal of president morsi. sends a very negative signal about the prospects for peaceful change carried out by islamised parties and that doesn't auger well for egypt or indeed if the rest of the arab world. is that's much more what's happening in egypt now website address how timeline of events and a fast how the counts from people in all of that go to your cabinet as well say dot com. and while you're browsing our web site let's show you choke out al egypt photo gallery take we're going to have all the best pictures speak for the country's capital or just a click away. u.s. private bradley manning has apologized at a court hearing their whistleblower responsible for the biggest legal classified data in american history said he ne
