Paper by Matthias Küntzel.
In order to understand what the similarities
between Islamist and Nazi imaginations are based
on, we have to look at the history of Egypt's
Muslim Brotherhood which was founded in 1928 and
which established Islamism as a mass movement.
The continuing significance of the Muslim
Brotherhood for Islamism is comparable to the
significance of the Bolshevik party for Communism
in the 20th century: The Muslim Brotherhood is
the organizational as well as the ideological
core which successfully inspired all subsequent
Islamist groups and tendencies. No other
organization has influenced the ideology of the
al Qaida cadres more strongly than the
Brotherhood and its leading members Hassan
al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb and Abdullah Azzam have.
