We aren't quite there in Q's procession.
The Muslim Brotherhood goes back to Hassan Al Banna. Well… Technically all the way back to Mohammed, but that is another story.
Ah, good, dejavu… I could slide on that for a bit but…
Anyway, the MB was funded by the Nazis during the Great Arab Revolt. More interesting was the support they received from the British Intelligence arm.
After some fun and games after World War 2 that go beyond my ability to properly detail or sauce as a phone fag at the moment (and my thread on it got deleted…), The MB ended up in the hands of the OSS before it was the CIA. Since the MB pissed Egypt off and got kill-on-sight orders after them, the CIA expedited them to Saudi Arabia.
They sat there for a while after Congress got pissed when they found out the CIA had a bunch of Nazi operatives in its pay roll. Then, Thatcher from the British side of things hooked up with Brzezinski for Operation Cyclone. This is where the MB operatives in SA were re-named as the Mujahedeen to fool Congress into thinking it was another group. Special operations units were dispatched to train members of the Mujahedeen in warfare and propaganda operations.
After Cyclone, the second in command, Bin Laden, decided it was his duty as a Muslim to lead a similar pattern of jihad against other bastions of Western influence. This happened to coincide with the goals of regime change throughout the old Soviet and Eurasian sphere of influence.
From Chechnya to Bosnia, Kosovo to Libya, the U.S. has backed AQ in pressuring governments into action and then declaring humanitarian violations as justification to destroy them using NATO.
