Where was Islam 50 years ago?

[tailfins]

Why didn't we hear about Islamic terrorism back in the "Movietone News" days, pre-1960? Could it be the widespread and exported violence is a recent phenomenon? Back in the 1950s, it was Puerto Ricans trying to kill the President.

Muslim Brotherhood & HitlerMuslim Brotherhood (http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/muslim-brotherhood-movement.html) was founded in Egypt in 1928 by a 22-year old Muslim named Hassan al-Banna, who admired Adolf Hitler's hatred of the Jews and persistently wrote to Hitler to express his admiration for Hitler, as well as his desire for collaboration with Hitler's Nazi Party.
http://www.billionbibles.org/photos/Haj-Amin-al-Husseini-and-Adolf-Hitler.jpgWhen Hitler rose to power, his Nazis supported al-Banna, a school teacher, to grow the Muslim Brotherhood into its ally in the Middle East; by 1938, the membership of Muslim Brotherhood topped 200,000.
During World War II, members of the Muslim Brotherhood spied for Hitler's Nazis in the Middle East and fought for Hitler as Nazi troops in two specially formed Muslim Waffen-SS HandscharDivisions ('Handschar' is German for scimitar, the curved saber used by the Muslim troops of the Ottoman empire).

The Muslim Nazi troops of the Waffen-SS Handschar Divisions are being reviewed by Haj Amin al-Husseini (right) and by the SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler (below).
Due to the large number of Muslim volunteers, the HandscharDivisions were the largest of Hitler's 38 Waffen-SS divisions.
http://www.billionbibles.org/photos/SS%20Handzar%20Division%20Himmler.jpgAfter World War II, the Muslim Brotherhood continued to grow, supported this time by the West, which saw it as a counterweight to the threat of Soviet-backed communism in the Middle East. By the late 1940s, Muslim Brotherhoodnumbered 500,000 members.
While some of them built schools and medical clinics, other continued to engage in violence, including bombings, arsons and murders. In 1948, members of the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated the Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud Fahmi al-Nuqrashi and participated in the invasion of the newly re-created nation of Israel.
http://www.billionbibles.org/photos/Hamas%20Nazi%20Salute.jpgThe Muslim Brotherhood's violent conflict with the Egyptian government, which also included the government's assassination of al-Hanna and two failed Muslim Brotherhood assassination attempts on the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, eventually led to many of its leaders being jailed while others fled and established branches abroad, mostly in the other Middle Eastern Arab nations but also inEurope (http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/europe-muslim-brotherhood.html), UK (http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/uk-muslim-brotherhood.html) and USA (http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/america-muslim-brotherhood.html).
http://www.billionbibles.org/photos/god-bless-hitler.jpgConcluding that it did not yet have the muscle to spread Islam by force, Muslim Brotherhood 'officially' renounced violence in the 1970s, and switched to more cunning strategies detailed in its secret internal manifesto: "The Project (http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/muslim-brotherhood-project.html)".
In 1979, Western powers supported the Muslim Brotherhood to form the Mujahedeen army and fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan.
In 1987, Muslim Brotherhood in Israel created Hamas, whose members still use the Nazi salute (above) and read Hitler's Mein Kampf, which the Muslim Brotherhood titled, My Jihad,and translated into Arabic in the 1930s (Mein Kampf remains the #6 best-seller today in the Muslim world and a favorite among the members of Muslim Brotherhood).
In 1989, the Muslim Brotherhood's Mujahedeen army pushed the Soviet army out of Afghanistan and then split. One of the factions became Al Qaeda, led by a Muslim Brotherhood-schooled Saudi named Osama bin Laden.

`Egypt had not been overtaken by the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood..... Sayd Qutb had not yet gained notoriety and Iran had not undergone the `Islamic` revolution....After the Iran hostage crises. Anything that was, " bad" that happened in the mid-east was news. Before that only the government cared, we didn't care what was going on......40 to 50 years ago, society wasn't so advanced and different as is today. Then they were only somewhat backwards...now they compare to us like the old "Flintstones" to "The Jetsons". And for them, anything different is bad`
