The Double Standards of Muslim Brothers
The Muslim Brothers – the Kuwait branch – raised hell when Brigadier DahiKhalfan, head of the Dubai Police Force, warned Kuwait against their organisation in the light of the discovery of a group of Moslem Brothers in the UAE plotting against the UAE regime.
Brigadier Khalfan said that this group had organisational and financial connections with the organisation's branch in Kuwait. Moslem Brothers in Kuwait attacked Brigadier Dahi for socalled intervention in the internal affairs of Kuwait. They also rejected the call of the UAE foreign minister, Sheikh Abdalla bin Zayid, on the GCC member countries to coordinate their efforts in face of Muslim Brothers in the Gulf Region.
But Muslim Brothers are the last to speak about intervention in the internal affairs of Kuwait or any other country, since they proclaim themselves to be a universal movement by its very definition, based on the principle of changing the regimes not only of Muslim countries, but of all countries of the world, in order to re-establish the Islamic Caliphate.
I say so, based on what they say about themselves in their basic literature. Their theoretician, Sayyid Qutub, wrote in his book titled "In the Shadow of the Quran", part 3, p. 1451: "The task of bringing about an Islamic coup is general and not limited to a certain country. What Islam wants and aims at is to see the coup happen all over the globe." What I do not understand are the double standards of the Muslim Brothers – or Hadas, as they call themselves in Kuwait – since the treacherous and un-Islamic position which the international Muslim Brothers movement adopted in support of the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait and the "secular" Ba'ath Party. One can understand the declarations of the UAE officials, the GCC member countries being one cohesive regional organization whose ultimate goal is to become complimentary and to achieve unity.
That means that whatever harms one of them harms all the others, as well as the GCC itself as a regional organization . We can also understand such statements since they deal with the activity of a certain group accused of conspiring against the regime in a sister country and having links – according to Brigadier Dahi Khalfan – to its counterpart in Kuwait, which made the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior dispatch one of its senior officers to witness the investigations in the UAE. This being so, the Muslim Brothers of Kuwait should have rather protested against the blatant and totally unjustified interventions in the internal affairs of Kuwait by some prominent officials of the Muslim Brothers in Egypt. Are such interventions allowed – or rather welcome – when they are made by Muslim Brothers? Or is it that the branch dare not criticize its mother party? I will cite two examples below. The first example is the letter sent by Dr Mohammad Al-Biltaji, the secretary-general of the Justice and Development Party, a branch of the Muslim Brothers Party in Egypt, to the Kuwaiti newspaper Kuwait News on the eve of the last parliamentary elections in Kuwait.
In it, he said, "I hope that the results of the coming elections in Kuwait will be in consonance with the changes brought about by the Arab spring" which means the Muslim Brothers taking control, as happened in Egypt and Tunisia. This statement unleashed criticism from several Kuwaiti patriots like Ali Fahad Al-Rashed, Jamal Al-Omar and Adel Al-Khurafi (see Al-Sabah newspaper, 29/01/2012). The second example is the statement made by the Egyptian president, Dr. Mohamed Morsi, to the Al-Kuwaitiyyah newspaper (17/06/2012) when he was still a presidential candidate.
That statement said: "The Al-Azhar Mosque (in Egypt) and Saudi Arabia will be the leaders of the Sunni project and the Gulf countries will be its wings (i.e. financiers)" Dr Morsi, who conceitedly determined the roles that all Gulf States would get to play in his ugly and segregationist plan, knows well that the Gulf governments and peoples, except for the religious parties, respect their Shiite, Sunni, Christian and Jewish people and reject any policy formulation that harms any of them. Hence, he must have confabulated with his followers in the Gulf about the implementation of his theocratic, Sunni project. By the way, I would like the Kuwaiti Muslim Brothers to tell us as to what stage this project has reached.
If the Kuwaiti Muslim Brothers would not respond to this strange postulation of Dr. Morsi – either because they approve of it or because they dare not contradict their bosses and the General Murshid, Fuehrer – I address Dr. Morsi directly and loudly: Thank you very much, but keep your project to yourself, for we do not need it in the Gulf. I also say to the Muslim Brothers of Kuwait: What do you have to say about the two examples cited above? Do you measure foreign interventions with a ruler or with a compass?
