The aim of the paper is to understand how to use a whole of government approach to identify the specific agencies and offices to limit the potential threat to the US. The paper will focus on external problems and come up with strategies of defeat them. This paper will aim at explaining how the U.S. should reach out to the international community to support this strategy; and explore any new programs or policies that the U.S. should implement in support of this program. The paper focus on the Muslim Brotherhood as a potential threat to the US, and aims at coming up with strategies to remove this threat. To come up with the strategies, it is essential to first know what the Muslim brotherhood is, its history, and political and global involvement.

Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) (Jamiat al-Ikhwan al-muslimin) literally means the Association of Muslim Brothers, is a pan-Islamist movement founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Ismailia east of Egypt with the target of Islamic revival through a non-violent fight against Western influence. Some partisan groups were formed by autonomous movements such as Jama'a al-Islamiyya or the Hamas. Its fundamental and sometimes violent opposition to secular Arab states led to ban off or limit of its activities in countries such as Syria or Egypt. The struggle against the state of Israel is at the heart of the movement since its inception, and theorist of jihad armed Sayyid Qutb who was one of its most prominent Egyptian members. However, its branches have since condemned the use of violence outside of Palestine. The nebula Muslim Brotherhood would be coordinated by the Muslim Association of Britain in London, based on the Al-Taqwa bank . However, according to Xavier Ternisien , it is not a pyramid but a centralized movement with heterogeneous and labile forms (Eamir, 1994).

Ideology

The Muslim Brotherhood opposed to historical trends to the secularization of the Islamic nations in favor of observance they deem most dutiful to the precepts of the Koran . Reject as much as possible the influence western and also the Sufism more extreme. Their fields of action are areas of traditional politics, education, health and social activities in general, as well as the organization of meetings of prayer and spirituality. The organization's motto is:  Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. The jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt represent a political formation which refers to the duty of loyalty to the traditional Islamic values ??and one of the main topics discussed in it is that of jihad, in the sense of duty commitment. Their commitment is expressed sometimes with initiatives of parliamentary law and on other occasions by fatwas (pl. of fatwa ) issued by some of its members and intended to indicate to the faithful what the prescribed way of behaving is. Since its inception, the brothers are opposed to secular tendencies in Islamic countries, rejecting Western influence and demand a return to the principles of the Quran and Sharia (Zollner, 2009).
