Rules of engagement in war of ideas against Jihadists
Conclusion
Pure Islam has the values of peace, freedom, justice and tolerance. The Early Arab Muslims violated Islam in establishing their mighty empires in middle ages. Arab Muslim empires defeated the Christian Europe dividing the world in that time into two camps: The Camp of Islam and the Camp of war. This contradicts Islam. As a justification, human made Shareeah was invented. After some centuries, Europe defeated Muslims, then occupied most of their countries. For reviving their strength and glory Muslims have one of two ways: Salafeyya or modernism.
The History of the Salafi Wahhabi Saudi States
Choosing Salafeyya means to restore the glorious past of the mighty Muslim Empire in the middle ages and applying its fanatic shareeah in our modern times. This is the way of Wahhabeyya and accordingly the first Saudi state was created in 1745. The other way of modernizing Muslims according to the European civilization was adopted in Egypt by the ruler Mohamed Ali Pasha. Mohamed Ali destroyed the first Saudi Wahabi state in 1818. The second Saudi state was reestablished and collapsed again during the last decades of the 19th century. Abdel Aziz is the founder of the current third Saudi State. He began establishing it step by step since 1902, and by his tough savage desert soldiers name Al Ikhwan (Brothers) he occupied what is called now the Saudi Kingdom. He gave it his family name in 1932.
The Saudis established Salafi trends and Muslim Brothers in Egypt
By Al Ikhwan swords, Abdel Aziz added the Holy mosque in Mecca to his state and controlled the Islamic pilgrimage. Al Ikhwan revolted against him, after defeating them, Abdel Aziz needed to establish another Ikhwan in Egypt to have Egypt on his side to help his state survive. The third Saudi State has been in bad need of Egypt to avoid the collapse again. Egypt in that time had its new religious reform led by Imam Mohamed Abdu who confirmed the secular civil nature of Islam, while the majority of Egyptians were Sufi, who hated Wahhabism. So, the challenge that Abdel Aziz had was to stop the religious reform in Egypt and to convert Egyptian Muslims to be Wahhabist. Abdel Aziz bribed Rasheed Reda, the successor of Imam Mohamed Abdo and Rasheed Reda had become the Saudi agent in Egypt. By the efforts of Rasheed Reda, the largest Sufi organization in Egypt ( Al Jam’eyyah Al Shar’eyyah) tuned to be Wahhabist. Then in the same year 1926 ( Ansar Al Sunna) or the partisans of Sunna was created to advocate Wahhabism under the title of Salafism because Egyptians in that time used to hate the term of Wahhabism. In 1927, (Muslim youth) was created to brainwash the Egyptian youth. All these entities were the entities of preaching Salafism or Wahhabism. So, it was needed for political organization with Salafi Wahhabi doctrine. Rasheed Reda chose the brilliant one among the Muslim Youth, his name is Hasan al Banna, and the new organization (Muslim Brothers) was created for him in 1928 to take over Egypt for the Wahhabism to help the Saudi State to survive. So, from that early time, there were the Salafi for preach and Muslim Brothers for the political agenda.
Muslim Brothers in Egypt
In 20 years (1928: 1948), Hasam Al Banna created 50 thousands Muslim Brothers branches in Egypt, creating the international organizations of Muslim Brothers, created his secret army for assassinations, making a revolution in Yemen, killing its ruler for the interest of the Saudis and infiltrated the Egyptian army. After Al Banna’s in 1949, Nasser made the Egyptian military revolution by the help of Muslim Brothers. As expected, they wanted to control Nasser but he defeated them, arrested many of them while others of Muslim brothers escaped to their spiritual home; the Saudi Kingdom.
Persecuting Muslim Brothers and controlling Salafi trends
These developments in 1950’s and 1960’s weakened Muslim Brothers; the political trend, but strengthened the Salafi trend as Nasser tolerated them while persecuting Muslim Brothers in Egypt. Muslim Brothers in the Saudi Kingdom made a problem for the Crown Saudi Family who monopolizes the wealth and the power using Wahhabism to serve their policy. There were some conflicts between Muslim Brothers and the Saudis, so the Saudis focused on helping the Salafi trends using it in controlling the Muslim communities in the West and the US, a policy that is still currently ongoing.
In the 1970’s, President Sadat empowered Muslim Brothers and Salafi trends together. In his time the secret and public organization of Muslim Brothers increased in number, like Jamaah Islameyya, Jihad, Al takfeer wa al Hijra, Al Najoun men Al Nar and Al Shawqeyyoun. The Salafi trends mushroomed, producing thousands of organizations and NGO’s in allover Egypt. Sadat enabled them to control mosques, media and education. As usual, the Salafi trend concentrated in advocacy while Muslim Brothers had troubles with Sadat. Finally they killed him.
In the time of Mubarak , he persecuted Muslim Brothers and all their secret and public organizations while encouraging Salafi trends, infiltrated them, using some of them in its dirty work against Copts, Baha’is , Shiites and the secular trends. To please them, Mubarak persecuted the Quranist Muslim scholars who are experts in waging war of ideas against Wahhabism and its bloody terrorist culture. In return, the Salafi trend kept themselves away from political field supporting Mubarak enjoying their control on mosques, media and education.
After Mubarak
After Mubarak, this Salafi trend became free and appeared suddenly as untamed beast threatening Egypt, exposing the secret agenda of Wahhabism and Muslim Brothers. After Mubarak, Muslim brothers have many troubles; the Salafi trends occupy the picture instead of them, giving bad news for the future when Muslim Brothers take over Egypt. Muslim Brothers try in vain to tame the Salafi leaders to conceal the Wahhabi secret agenda. Muslim Brothers suffer also from disputes among their popular leaders (Mohamed Habib , Mohamed Abou Al Fotouh and Al Za;afaray ) and their youth who are more open-minded than the seniors.
The problem will be more intense after the success of the Libyan, Yemen, and Syrian and Jordanian revolutions. The Salafi trends will occupy the empty picture threatening Middle East and the American interest in this region.
Activities in the US
Muslim Brothers as political organization is does not exist in the West and/ or US. All the activists and leaders here have the Salafi agenda of brainwashing the Muslim communities in the West to be the fifth column in the West according to the Sunni Salafi belief of dividing the world into two camps; the camp of Islam and the camp of infidels/war. This needs a Muslim Salafi body to infiltrate the enemy camp to sabotage it from within. So, their Jihad here is to keep the Muslim communities away from integration, poisoned them to be enemies to their fellow Americans, recruiting and brainwashing Americans to convert to Islam, not the real Islam but the Salafi Wahhabi dogma and prepare thousands of people to be suicide bombers and create what we can say the American Taliban. For this cause, they control most of the mosques, the so- called Islamic schools and many of the Islamic studies in the Western and American universities. They have the unlimited support from the Saudi and Gulf State secretly and publicly.
Example
For the past 25 years, I have struggled against Saudi influence in Egypt. On coming to the U.S. as a political asylee, I found the same Saudi influence at work in Sunni Mosques, Centers, and schools — most of them controlled by the same fanatics who advocate the Wahhabi Salafi culture of terrorism.
To take a typical example, the official Saudi translation of the Holy Quran deliberately mistranslates Chapter One, [Al Fatehah] — the opening of the Quran. It says: “Guide us to the straight path. The path of those on whom You have bestowed Your blessing, not of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.”
The Saudi translation adds commentary on these verses, describing the Jews as those who earned the anger of God, and the Christians as those who went astray. This Quranic Chapter One, Al Fatehah, is recited seventeen times in the daily Muslim prayers. So, by means of this mistranslation, every American Muslim is brainwashed each day seventeen times to be a terrorist. Millions of copies of this translation have been distributed in the Islamic centers and schools and mosques in the U.S., asserting that all Christians and Jews are infidels, and — according to the Wahhabi faith — should be killed[1]:
1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
2. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord[2] of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).[3]
3. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
5. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
6. Guide us to the Straight Way.[4]
7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace,[5] not (the way) of those who earned Your anger[6] (i.e. those who knew the Truth, but did not follow it) nor of those who went astray (i.e. those who did not follow the Truth out of ignorance and error).[7],[8]
Continued Brainwashing of Muslims
If the Saudi influence in the U.S. continues for some decades, a great part of the silent Muslim majority in the Muslim world and Muslim communities in the West and the U.S. will be brainwashed to become terrorists. We are talking about a billion and a half people, who are increasing daily in number, threatening the West in the near future. It is enough for the Saudi tactics to brainwash few millions “only” in the West and the U.S. to achieve its aim peacefully without the necessity of armed conflict. For the terrorist organizations, it is enough for them to use a war of ideas to recruit millions inside the West, the U.S., and in the Muslim world, using them in making dirty bombs to cause chaos among those they believe to be the “camp of evil.”

How to react
The best positive reaction is to fight them back, the same war of ideas, waged by sincere Muslim scholars and the American support and supervision. This book gives its rules. To activate this war of ideas, there are many choices: the Best, the Good, and the Available.
The Best: Creating an American agency, or American foundation for making America the super power in war of ideas
The mission:
1- Promoting the American image in the Muslim World.
2- Win the war of ideas against the radical Muslims ( Salafi)
3- Reforming Muslim World to accept democracy peacefully
4- Reform the American Muslims to defend America in the name of Islam
5- Recruiting the open minded Muslims to serve America in this mission.
Second:
How?
(A) - Network of Arabic websites to handle Online War of Ideas to defeat the terrorism and promote the American Image in the Muslim world.
It will explore, analyze and combat the radical Muslim websites.
(B) Conferences to reform the Muslim World in these fields:
1- Reforming the Muslim communities in the U.S by:
*-Reforming mosque in the U.S to defend America in the name of Islam not to insult America by misusing Islam
*-Reforming the Islamic schools in the U.S
*-Reforming the research centers of Islam in the American academia to discuss Wahhabism and face its terrorism and extremism.
2- Constitutional and Legislative Reforms in the Arab and Muslim World, such as:
*-Reforming of the Elections Law in the Arab World
*-Reforming the laws of Liberties:

.
3- In the field of education:
*-Reforming Al-Azhar:
*- Reforming Higher Education in the Arab World starting with Egypt
* -Discussion of the International Human Rights Charters in the Light of Islam
(c) Independent T.V channel and company to produce programs and drama to reach and undeceive the silent Muslim majority (more than one billion people)
(D) Higher Education Islamic institute in which open minded Imams will be graduated to undeceive the American Muslims.
The Good:
1 - Using Hollywood in producing drama subtitled with all Muslim languages and distributing them in the entire Muslim world to achieve the same missions mentioned before.
2- Or: establishing a powerful company in Egypt that owns independent T.V channel and company to produce programs and drama to reach and undeceive the silent Muslim majority in Middle East.
The available
1- Supporting the IQC ( The International Quranic Center )to do these missions under American supervision. The IQC is a nonprofit 501c3 American organization that represents thousands of Muslim scholars who are pro Americans and experts in war of ideas. IQC has its Ahl Al Quran site, the only site that is fighting successfully war of ideas against terrorism defending America without any fund from the US.
2- Make this mission a program in the Woodrow Wilson Center. WWC has many programs including Middle East Program. But it does not have any program about the Muslim World, Islamic studies in field of war of ideas. WWC can sponsor the distinguished scholars to do this job.

[2] (V.1:2) Lord: The actual word used in the Qur’ân is Rabb There is no proper equivalent for Rabb in English language. It means the One and the Only Lord for all the universe, its Creator, Owner, Organizer, Provider, Master, Planner, Sustainer, Cherisher, and Giver of security. Rabb is also one of the Names of Allah. We have used the word “Lord” as the nearest to Rabb . All occurrences of “Lord” in the interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur’ân actually mean Rabb and should be understood as such.
[3] (V.1:2). Narrated Abu Sa’îd bin Al-Mu’alla: While I was praying in the mosque, Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم called me but I did not respond to him. Later I said, “O Allah’s Messenger, I was praying.” He said, “Didn’t Allah say - Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and His Messenger when he صلى الله عليه وسلم calls you.” (V.8:24). He then said to me, “I will teach you a Sûrah which is the greatest Sû rah in the Qur’ân, before you leave the mosque.” Then he got hold of my hand, and when he intended to leave (the mosque), I said to him, “Didn’t you say to me, “I will teach you a Sûrah which is the greatest Sûrah in the Qur’an?” He said, “ Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-’âlamîn [i.e. all the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)], Sûrat Al-Fâtihah which is As-Sab’ Al-Mathâni (i.e. the seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur’ân which has been given to me.” (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.6, Hadîth No. 1).
[4] (V.1:6) Guidance is of two kinds:
a) Guidance of Taufîq i.e., totally from Allah, i.e. Allah opens one’s heart to receive the truth (from disbelief to Belief in Islâmic Monotheism).
b) Guidance of Irshâd i.e. through preaching by Allah’s Messengers and the pious preachers who preach the truth i.e. Islâmic Monotheism.
[5] (V.1:7) i.e. the way of the Prophets, the Siddîqûn (i.e. those followers of the Prophet, who were first and foremost to believe in him, like Abu Bakr As-Siddîq), the martyrs and the righteous, [as Allah عز وجل said: “And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddîqûn, the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!” (V.4:69)].
[6] (V.1:7) Narrated ‘Adi bin Hâtim رضي الله عنه: I asked Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم , about the Statement of Allah: 1. “ غير المغضوب عليهم Ghairil-maghdûbi ‘alaihim (not the way of those who earned Your Anger),” he صلى الله عليه وسلم replied “They are the Jews”. And 2. ولا الضالين Walad dâllîn (nor of those who went astray),” he صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “The Christians, and they are the ones who went astray” [This Hadith is quoted by At-Tirmidhi and Musnad Abu Dâwûd ].
[7] (V.1:7): Narrated ‘Ubâdah bin As-Sâmit رضي الله عنه Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever does not recite Sûrat Al-Fâtihah in his prayer, his prayer is invalid. (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.1, Hadîth No. 723).
[8] As it’s shown here, they ascribed to the prophet Mohamed this false saying (not the way of those who earned Your Anger),” he صلى الله عليه وسلم replied “They are the Jews”. And ولا الضالين Walad dâllîn (nor of those who went astray),” he صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “The Christians and they are the ones who went astray.”
