"The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt:
Two Different Points of Departure Leading to a Similar Conclusion"

Since 1979, when Israel signed a Peace Treaty with the government of Egypt, a very cold peace has reigned. Yet, as the old axiom goes, “Better a cold peace, than a hot war.” However, there are things about Egyptian society about which all of us should be aware.

During this, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a highly popular science fiction show is being widely televised, entitled
El Nehaya ([link removed]) , or “The End” which predicts the destruction of the state of Israel, and the decomposition of the United States into individual states. How common are these highly anti-Semitic and anti-American sentiments in Egypt?

Here to discuss these issues are two fascinating and courageous individuals, who came from different points of departure, but arrived at the same destination, Hussein Aboubakr and Cynthia Farahat.

About Hussein Aboubakr:
Hussein Aboubakr was born into a conservative Muslim family in Cairo, and had dreams of being a jihadist when he was young. His fascination with Jews and Israel led him to study our people in a tiny museum in Cairo which came about as a result of the 1979 Peace Treaty, where he learned about the Holocaust for the first time, and began reading great Jewish intellects such as Elie Wiesel, Martin Buber, and to meet an Israeli friend. All of this led to his being followed by the Egyptiansecret police, and to his interrogation and torture. And finally to his obtaining asylum in the United States. He now works for the pro-Israel organization, Stand With Us, and is about to come out with his thrilling autobiography, “Minority of One.”

About Cynthia Farahat:
Cynthia Farahat is a fellow at the Middle East Forum, a founder of the Egyptian Liberal party, which was the first secular classical liberal political party in the history of modern Egypt. She has co-authored Desecration of a Heavenly Religion, which analyzed and criticized Egypt's blasphemy law. The book was officially banned in Egypt by al-Azhar University in Cairo in 2008. Cynthia's work on countering Islamic terrorism has lead Lebanon's intelligence officials to officially bar her from entering the country. She also received hundreds of death threats from Islamists and was placed on an al-Qaeda affiliated hit list.

Recently she has briefed over 120 Congressional offices on the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood by discussing her personal story as well as her research, from a cache of thousands of previously undisclosed documents, into the nature of the Brotherhood. In 2011, the abduction of her brother, the assassination of her friend, and numerous threats to her life, prompted her to flee to the United States of America where she was granted political asylum. She is currently writing a book on the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement in transnational terrorism.
