LESSONS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MUST LEARN TO REMAIN RELEVANT "Will the coup d’état against President Morsi help awaken the Muslim Brotherhood? Will the Brotherhood decide to take a new path - the path to Islamic unity and real Islamic revolution forged 34 years ago by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini?" - Dr. Kevin Barrett Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood made a terrible mistake by forging an alliance with the West and its regional puppets. The Brotherhood has become a tool of the Zionist-dominated West, which seeks to divide and conquer the Middle East by fomenting a sectarian civil war between Sunni and Shia Muslims. Perhaps President Morsi thought that if he accepted the West’s dictates to join their war on Syria, keep the Gaza border closed, maintain the Camp David “surrender treaty,” enslave future generations of Egyptians to the International Monetary Fund, and let the Egyptian Army continue to rule as it did under Mubarak, he would be allowed to add a bit more shariah to the Egyptian civil code. It was a devil’s bargain to begin with. And the devil did not even keep the bargain. President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood need to go back and study the works of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the father of thepolitical Islamic awakening that is shaking the globe. Ayatollah Khomeini insisted that there is no room for sectarianism in the Islamic awakening. Muslims are Muslims first and foremost, whether they follow the Hanafi, Malaki, Hanbali, Shafiyi, or Ja’fari law schools. The Muslim Brotherhood should stop inciting sectarianism, and stand up for Islamic unity. Secondly, Ayatollah Khomeini understood thatall Muslims have a moral obligation to side with the world’s oppressed - the mustazafin -in the struggle against their oppressors. The resistance against empire, apartheid, Zionism,aggressive war, and all forms of racism and injustice is also the struggle of all Muslims. The Muslim Brotherhood should stop kowtowing to oppressive rulers, be they Western, Saudi, or Qatari, and join the worldwide struggle against exploitation and injustice.
