The  Hudson Institute, a leading consultant to the Defense Department, asserted that the administration has decided to work with Turkey and the Brotherhood in Syria for a post-Assad government. In a report by Herbert  London, the institute said Obama has dismissed the pro-democracy opposition as an alternative.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not the first time that the Obama Administration has indicated that it wants to work with the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East (see <a title=\"Permanent Link to Obama Administration Reaches Out to Muslim Brotherhood\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"\/news\/prophecy\/obama-administration-reaches-out-to-muslim-brotherhood\/\">Obama Administration Reaches Out to Muslim Brotherhood<\/a>).\u00a0 Thus, the report may be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Notice a translation of what some, who are part of it, write that the Muslim Brotherhood wants:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;the Islamic <em>Ummah<\/em> [nation] can regain its power and be  liberated and assume its rightful   position which was intended by  Allah, as the most exalted nation among   men, as the leaders of  humanity&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>He [Hassan al-Banna] felt the   grave danger overshadowing the  Muslims and the urgent need and   obligation which Islam places on every  Muslim, man and woman, to act in   order to restore      the Islamic Caliphate and to reestablish the Islamic State on strong    foundations and to liberate the Muslims and defend them from any  attack,   and to spread the Da\u2019wa (Islamic missionary activity) of Islam  in the   world and to establish this great religion, which Allah wanted  for his   servants&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Some think that <em>Shahada<\/em> (Martyrdom) causes loss and  damages the [Muslim Brotherhood] Society, since it has lost influential  people in action and Jihad.
