More Gleaned from Holy Land Trial Exhibits

By Douglas Farah

The government exhibits in the Holy Land Foundation case in Dallas, Texas, bear close reading.

These public documents, collected by the NEFA Foundation and others give a pretty clear picture of the Muslim Brotherhood structure, motives and aims in the United States and more broadly.

The first thing the exhibits lay out is the organic, granular link of the Brotherhood to the organizations in the United States such as MSA, NAIT, ICNA and others (CAIR was not founded when most of these were written, but is an unindicted co-conspirator in the case as well, and named as a Brotherhood entity).

A second is that there is a military component and strict security measures to keep the Brotherhood out from government scrutiny.

In Exhibit 003-0089, a Brotherhood leader, Zeid Al-Noman of the Executive Office, gives a brief history of the Brotherhood in America to a gathering of Ikhwan, and then takes questions.

One questioner asks; "By 'securing the group' do you mean military securing? And, if it is that, would you explain to us a little bit the means to achieve it?"

Answer: "No. Military work is listed under 'Special Work.' 'Special Work' means military work. 'Securing the group' is the Groups' (Muslim Brotherhood) security, the Group's security against outside dangers. For instance, to monitor the suspicious events which exist on the American front such as Zionism, Masonry etc. Monitoring the suspicious movements or the sides, the government bodies such as the CIA, FBI etc., so that we find out if they are monitoring us, are we not being monitored, how can we get rid of them. That is what is meant by 'securing the group.'" My full blog is here.
