Islam—the Muslim Brotherhood 1920s Muslim Brotherhood founded in Egypt to oppose colonialism and “back- sliding Islam” Became international organization with branches all over Arab world—Hamas, Islamic Party, etc.

Islam: Wahhabism Like Muslim Brotherhood, restoring Islam Embraced by Saudi ruling family Spread by means of schools (madrassas) and newspapers throughout middle East and beyond

Middle School official text in Saudi Arabia Teachings of the Hadith 1/ It's fate decided by Allah that the Muslims and Jews will fight till the end of the world. 2/ The Hadith predicts for the Muslims God's victory over the Jews. 3/ The victory for the Muslims because they are right, and who ever is right is always victorious, even though most people are against him. 4/ God grants victory to the Muslims if they have a true will, if they unite, hold on to God's sharia, if they go by God's ruling, if they are patient. 5/ The material strength won't be enough to warrant victory, it is necessary to invoke God seek his support. 6/. It's allowed to demolish, burn or destroy the bastions of the Kufar (infidels)- and all what constitutes their shield from Muslims if that was for the sake of victory for the Muslims and the defeat for the Kufar 7/ Jews and Christians are the enemies of believers they will never approve of the Muslims, beware of them. Questions for discussion 1/ What was the prophecy of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in this Hadith? 2/ At the end, who will be victorious? 3/ What should the Muslims arm themselves with against the Jews?
