A recent article from Family Security Matters alleges to have
translated a full list of Muslim Brotherhood cells operating within the
United States, from an Egyptian based newspaper claiming to have
knowledge of their existence. The article and list are as follows:
El Watan,
one of Egypt’s most widely circulated and read newspapers, published a
report discussing the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence over the United
States, especially in the context of inciting pro-Brotherhood policies
against Egypt’s popular June 30 Revolution, which resulted in the
ousting of Muhammad Morsi and the Brotherhood from power.
Titled (in translation), “With Names, Identities, and Roadmap… El
Watan Exposes Brotherhood Cells in America,” it’s written by
investigative journalist Ahmed al-Tahiri, who begins the report by
saying:
In the context of El Watan’s ongoing investigation concerning the
Brotherhood’s cells and lobby inside America that support the regime of
the ousted [Morsi], and which intensified their activities to attack and
defame the June 30 Revolution, informed sources have disclosed to El
Watan newspaper the names and cell entities of the Brotherhood and their
roadmap of activities all throughout the United States of America.
The sources said that these organizations, which are spread
throughout the States, agitated for and were supportive of the decisions
taken by Muhammad Morsi’s project to “Brotherhoodize”
and consolidate power [in Egypt] and gave a favorable opinion to the
general American public that Morsi’s decisions were welcomed by the
public [in Egypt]. Following the June 30 Revolution, these groups
launched a malicious war in order to incite the American administration
to take hostile decisions against Egypt, with the aim of bringing back
the Brotherhood to the power.
El Watan then
goes on to name names, saying that the following activists and entities
are Brotherhood operatives working within the United States (reproduced
verbatim):
- Union of Egyptian Imams in North America, represented by Sheikh Muhammad al-Bani
- The Egyptian American Foundation for Development
- Dr. Khalid Lamada, New York
- Dr. Hassan al-Sayah, Virginia
- The Egyptian Network in America, led by Dr. Muhammad Helmi
- Dr. Akram al-Zand, Sa’ad Foundation

- Dr. Hany Saqr, member, Egyptian Association in America
- Dr. Khalid Hassan, Maryland
- Dr. Muhammad Abdel Hakem, Seattle
- Dr. Ahmed Ismat al-Bendari, President, Islamic Society of America
- Walid Yusari, Chicago
- Ahmed Shadid, New Jersey
- Ahmed al-Hatab, Indiana
- Dr. Muhammad Morjan, Boston
- Ramadan Ridwan, Houston
- Ahmed Fayez, Las Vegas
- Dr. Amru Abbas, member, Egyptian Foundation in Michigan
- Dr. Safi al-Din Hamed, Pennsylvania
- Dr. Hamdy Radwan, North Carolina
- Ahmed Shehata, Director, Egyptian American Organization for Democracy and Human Rights
- Dr. Iman Shehata, New York
- Dr. Muhammad Amru Attawiya, member, Organization of Islamic Relief in the United States
- Dr. Khalid al-Sayes, member, Rebuilding of Egypt Foundation
- Dr. Tariq Hussein, member, American Islamic Relations Council (CAIR)
- Dr Hisham al-Gayar, member, Egyptian Foundation, Michigan
- Amin Mahmoud, Maryland
As a most recent example, El Watan quotes from an American op-ed published on October 16 (just two days before the publication of the El Watan report itself). Titled “Egypt: 100 days later” and written by Ahmed Shehata of the Egyptian American Organization for Democracy and Human Rights, the piece appeared in The Hill, the Capitol’s most widely circulated newspaper, published specifically for Congress.
The op-ed is certainly a prime example of pro-Muslim Brotherhood
propaganda that actually tries to “shame” U.S. policymakers into
returning the Brotherhood back to power in the name of “democracy.”
Key excerpts follow:
While the U.S. must consider its own interests in the region, it is
baffling and disheartening to think the current administration would
choose to discount the suffering that continues to occur on a daily
basis as well as the complete violation of democratic principles which
it espouses to the rest of the world…. As this past week marked 100
days since the coup and the lives of the Egyptian people continue to be
sacrificed, the United States cannot be silent any longer for the sake
of their own interests and convenience…. To that end, Egypt represents a
golden opportunity for the U.S. to uphold democratic values by pushing
for the reinstatement of the democratically elected government, despite
their shortcomings. This would aid tremendously in showing the world
that, above any one particular physical interest, stands the mantle of
freedom and the rule of law.
Anyone familiar with the real happenings of Egypt knows that
Shehata’s assertions are complete opposites of the truth: the military
ousted the Brotherhood in response to the will of millions of
Egyptians-the people, the demos, as in democracy-who
took to the streets protesting against the totalitarian Morsi
government. Moreover, it is the Muslim Brotherhood and their
supporters who have been committing numerous human rights
atrocities-including the slaughter and persecution of Christians, the torture and murder of many Egyptians (including before the revolution), and the destruction and torching of some 85 Christian churches.
Shehata seems to think that, if the Muslim Brotherhood and their
supporters terrorize, murder, destroy, persecute, and betray their
nation-which is precisely why tens of millions of average Egyptians rose
up against them (though you might not know that following Al Jazeera-led Western media that distorted the popularity of the revolution)-as long as they won “elections” (which from the start many authorities insisted they didn’t),
then that is all that matters; and, if need be, the U.S. must war with
Egypt’s military and people on behalf of the ousted terrorists-all in
the name of “democracy” and “human rights,” as Shehata’s U.S.-based
Brotherhood front is laughably called.
That such a shameless piece of Muslim Brotherhood propaganda can be
published in the most influential and widely read Capitol Hill
publication certainly goes a long way in validating El Watan’s claims that the Brotherhood has its tentacles all around the United States’ points of influence.
