The document discusses the rise of Islamic terrorism around the world. It describes how Wahhabism and the Salafist movement in the 18th century laid the ideological foundations for modern terrorist groups. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, has also heavily influenced modern terrorism and seeks to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate. Groups like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Boko Haram have been inspired by the Brotherhood's doctrines and goal of spreading Islam through military jihad. The document examines the Brotherhood's history and gradual strategy to recreate the caliphate through political and social influence operations.

Chapter 11-Lecture Notes
I.
Jihadist Networks
Jihadi Salafism:
Jihadi Salafism (also referred to as Salafi Jihadism, Salafism, Salafists, or Salafis), a medieval interpretation of Islam that developed when Arabs were being threatened by Europeans. Jihadi Salafism represents a minority and frequently internally condemned interpretation of Islam, but it is a distinct theological strain of Sunni Islam supported by a global network of scholars, websites, media outlets, and social networks. Bunzel says it is deeply rooted in a theology of militancy. The Muslim Brotherhood champions one school. It formed in Egypt to oppose European imperial rule, to purify religion through education and social service, and to seek the restoration of the caliphate at some distant point in history. A more violent school, represented by ISIS and al Qaeda, seeks to purify Islam and rid Muslim lands of Western influence. ISIS embraces a more extreme intolerant version of Salafism seeking to purge the religion of what it believes are un-Islamic practices, eradicating Shi’ites, and waging offensive wars. Salafis see themselves as the only “true” Muslims, and they have assumed the authority to denounce fellow Muslims “heretics” if they disagree with Jihadi Salafi theology. William McCants (2014a) adds that Jihadi Salafism includes an apocalyptic interpretation of Islam that believes Salafis are called to usher in the final days of creation.
Muslim Brotherhood:
An organization founded by Hassan al Banna in 1928 to recapture the spirit and religious purity of the period of Mohammed and the four Rightly Guided caliphs. The Brotherhood seeks to create a single Muslim nation through education and religious reform. A militant wing founded by Sayyid Qutb sought the same objective through violence. Hamas, a group that defines itself as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, has rejected the multinational approach in favor of creating a Muslim Palestine.
Al Qaeda:
Al Qaeda from Inception to 9/11 Al Qaeda’s origins can be traced to the Cold War. From 1945 until 1991, the United States and former Soviet Union fought one another with surrogates to avoid a direct superpower nuclear confrontation. Islamic radicals hated Communists for their atheism, and thi.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

• Palestine continues to
attack Israel
• Iran seeks to build a
nuclear weapon

The Rest of the World Has Gone Mad
• 452 suicide bombing
attacks in 2015
– 4,370 people killed
– 450 of the 452 suicide

5. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
The Rise of Terror
• Salaf doctrine expressed by ibn Taymiya (1263 – 1328 AD)
– Father of modern terror. Strong belief that Islam had lost its way.
– “All modern Sunni fundamentalists draw their intellectual and
theological inspiration from the body of work left by this elemental force
in the Arab middle ages.” (Walid Phares)
• Rise of salafi doctrine in 14th century impeded Islamic progress
– As a result of “internal focus” on fundamentalism, the caliphate could
not catch up with the European renaissance, revolutions and modernity
• Objectives
– Tahrir: Liberation of all Muslim lands from non-Muslim powers
– Tawheed: Unification by canceling the frontiers between ‘fake’ entities
of all Muslim countries. Dismantle all nation states in Muslim world
– Khalifa: Reestablish succession, resume external jihad, bring about
return of fatah, reestablish the Caliphate
5
6. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
The Salafist Movement
• Became ultraconservative reform movement within Sunni Islam
– Reject all religious innovation, seeking return to lifestyles that emulate
the Prophet Muhammad and his earliest followers—”the pious
forefathers”
– Salafists resent the use of the term “wahhabis” that compares them to
modern ultraconservative Wahhabist Islam of Saudi Arabia
• Objectives of salafists
– Tahrir: Liberation of all Muslim lands from non-Muslim powers
– Tawheed: Unification by canceling the frontiers between ‘fake’ entities
of all Muslim countries. Dismantle all nation states in Muslim world
– Khalifa: Reestablish succession, resume external jihad, bring about
return of fatah, reestablish the Caliphate

The Rise of Islamic Terror
Muhammad ibn Al’ Wahhab
• Radical leader, even for his day
(1740)
– Leveled famous graves. Stoned
women. Expelled from his village
north of Riyadh.
– Invited to live in neighboring province
by Muhammad ibn Saud.
– Pact made that ibn Saud would
implement the teachings of Al’
Wahhab if ibn Saud retained overall
leadership of the religious movement
– For next 140 years, the heirs of ibn
Saud conquered peninsula, uniting
what we know as “Saudi Arabia”

8. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
Wahhabism
• Conservative reformist call to Islam
founded by Muhammad ibn Al’
Wahhab in 18th century
– Drew upon the teachings of ibn
Taymiya
– Islam had “become soft” and he
called for a return to 3rd century
(Islamic calendar) ideals
– Preached against “perceived moral
decline and political weakness in the
Arabian peninsula and condemned
idolatry, the popular cult of saints, and
shrine and tomb visitation
Wahhabism denounces the
practice of blind adherence to
the interpretations of scholars
and the blind acceptance of
practices that were passed on
within the family or tribe.
Individual Muslims must learn
and obey the divine commands
as they were revealed in the
Qur’an and the Sunnah.
Wahhabism does not just urge
Muslims to follow the religious
duties of Islam, but compels
them to do so.

9. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
Waves of Terror
• First wave = Wahhabism
– Arose in 1700’s from tribal Arabia
• Second wave = Muslim Brotherhood
– Arose in 1928 in urban Egypt
• Political underground with secret leadership and
strategies. Ties to 1981 assassination of Anwar Sadat.
• Unlike state-sponsored Wahhabism, Muslim Brotherhood operates as the
opposition party. Flourished in Egypt, spreading to other countries
– Second generation offshoots were jihad terror groups of 1980’s
• “The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 gave impetus to those elite
jihadists to gather in one battlefield against one major enemy. Among them
was a man who would take world jihad to its ultimate form: terrorism. It was
Osama bin Laden.” (Walid Phares)
• Third wave = Khumeini, radical Shi’a, Islamic republic
• Fourth wave = bin Laden, al Zawahiri, Muhammad Atta, Arab Spring
• Fifth wave = ISIS, allegiant groups (Boko Haram, al Shabbab, etc.)

Muslim Brotherhood
• Considers itself to be an Islamic revivalist movement that
aims at rejuvenating staid and archaic forms of Islam
– Seeks to infuse Islam with fresh energy that will enable it to fulfill
its destiny of spreading throughout the world
• Founded in by 1928 Hassan al-Banna.
– Influenced by communist ideas of idealogue Sayyid Qutb
– Viewed the Brotherhood as a revolutionary vanguard movement
that would spearhead the revival of Islam
– Ideology differs from Wahhabist and Salafist Islam. Willing to
work with other Muslims, tempering ideology with pragmatism
– Sees no difference between religion and politics. The ideal state
is a theocracy governed in accordance with sharia law.

What the Muslim Brotherhood Wants
• Motto
– The Quran is our law. Jihad is our way.
Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
• Recently, motto removed from their logo
• Goals
– Inform the world about Islam and spread its teachings
– Unify the world under the banner of Islam
– Raise the standard of living and achieve social justice

– Liberate the Islamic nations from foreign rule
– Establish a worldwide Islamic state
– Build a new world civilization based on sharia and Islam

13. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
Inspiration for Modern Terror Groups
• Inspiration behind every Islamist group of note
– Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Al-Qaeda in Iraq (predecessor of ISIS)
– Al-Shabbab, Boko Haram
– Islamist organizations across the Middle East
• The doctrines of dar-al harb (the land at war) and dar-al-
Islam (the land of Islam) feature in Brotherhood thought
which refer respectively to the land of the “infidels” and
the land of Muslims.
– This doctrine holds that the lands occupied by the “infidels” are
at war with the lands of Islam until they are conquered, although
it permits truces to be made when a lack of military might inhibits
conquest.

Modern Influence
• Islamic theologian Sheikh Yussaf al-Qaradawi
– Has show on Al-Jazeera, 40-60M viewers
– Considered to be the “Mufti of the Muslim Brotherhood”
– #31 of top 500 most influential Muslim leaders
– Ruled in fatwa calling for death of Sir Salman Rushdie
– The implementation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy is
conducted in adherence to “gradualism,” a strategy of building a
global Islamic state slowly through a gradual series of steps.75
This strategy differs from that of the Salafists, whose strategy
ranges from those who believe in the immediate implementation
of the Islamic state (caliphate) to those who are entirely divorced
from the political process.
16
17. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This
The Rise of Islamic Terror
Objectives of the Brotherhood
• Plan to recreate the caliphate through a 12-stage
gradual plan that moves forward through quiet and
insidious forces
– Discovered by Swiss authorities in a villa belonging to one of the
main financiers of the Muslim Brotherhood. The plan, called “The
Project,” was written in 1982.
– Similar plans have been discovered in America by the FBI, most
notably the “1991 Explanatory Memorandum.”
– The 1991 memorandum was part of a collection of documents
called the Elbarasse archives, and was submitted as evidence in
the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial, the largest
terrorism financing trial in American history.

The Brotherhood Process
• The Muslim Brotherhood organizes conferences, talks
and community work in order to build trust and to
establish and foster Islamic communities worldwide.
• Political action includes, but is not limited to:
dissemination of propaganda, lobbying political figures,
supporting sympathetic political candidates, sending
speakers on lecture circuits, film creation, social work,
charity and, at the most extreme level, armed jihad.
• The Brotherhood’s approach is sophisticated, complex
and operates at on an international scale over a cross-
section of institutional levels from personal connections
to the halls of power.

Muslim Brotherhood
• “Muslim Brotherhood Manifesto for the US”
– Dedicated to the penetration and overthrow of
American society
– “In order for the process of settlement to be
completed, we must plan and work from now to equip
and prepare ourselves, our brothers, our
apparatuses, our sections and our committees in
order to turn into comprehensive organizations in a
gradual and balanced way that is suitable with the
need and the reality.”
19
20. Understanding Islam: For Such A Time As This

Civilization Jihad
• “The Plan”
– “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’
with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must
understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in
eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within
and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the
hands of the believers…”
• CAIR’s vision for America
– "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to
become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture,
should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only
accepted religion on earth."
• Omar Ahmad, founder of the Council of American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR).

Insidious Transformation
• Muslim Brotherhood methods to infiltrate America have
been well-planned and are on track with their 1982 initial
strategy and their strategy of “gradualism”
– Babies: Outbreed Americans and create a growing Muslim
citizenry
– Ballots:
• Penetrate civil organizations, city, county and state government,
and federal level appointments
• Run for office, gain acceptance, push for limited sharia law
– Courts: Jurists pursue sharia as first priority over US civil law
– Communities: Build non-assimilated groups of Muslims who
seek “peaceful” implementation of sharia for their closed
communities
