Some of its members would have been nefarious in the assassination of politicians like the Egyptian president Anwar El Sadate, in 1981. “Allah is our objective. The prophet Muhammad is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way”. Remains their motto. Against, the movement of Muslim brothers, many observers fear his acquaintance with the Western intelligence services, which makes this brotherhood an almost unavoidable actor in the Middle East. Nothing new, since the shady relations between western intelligence services and nefarious middle eastern organizations, date back to the templar era, during the middle age, templars and the society of Assassins of the imam Hassan-i Sabbah, used to fight side by side during Christians crusades.

In West Africa and Senegal in particular, brotherhoods such as the Mourides, one of the most prominent in the country, are very influential in electoral campaigns, the Djiguel (oral order) of the Marabout (mystic healer), is often decisive in the choice of candidates, because, in general, followers obey his word .

In Eurasia, Islam has always been the catalyst for the organization of traditional society. In Chechnya, Islamists played a key role in the seizure of power in Grozny by the Dudaev group. Very quickly national independence struggle, and religious fight were mingled. The break-up of the regional spiritual directions led to the creation of each republic, own leadership, which resulted in the disappearance of any distinction between "official" Islam and "parallel Islam" or brotherly. However, the spiritual leadership is skeptical of the revival of Islam under Dudaev's rule, whose Islamic faith was often questioned for its participation in the Afghan war under the banner

of the Soviet Union. The question of the status of Islam in the politics of the republic was debated in May 1993, in full conflict with Moscow. Doudaev finally died in 1996 shot by RC missiles while using a satellite phone. Since 2003 after a referendum Chechnya is part of the Russian federation .

In China, the Muslim minority, generally composed of the Uighurs, is muzzled. The Chinese government believes that Islam beyond faith in Allah, is above all a tool of mass manipulation that is dangerous for the order established by the Beijing Communist regime.

Outside Islam and Catholic Christianity. The reformist church, based in the United States tends to use a proselytism that takes it to the confines of the African continent which remains a very fertile ground for religious movements. Ambient poverty probably helps some to believe that only the miracle could save them from the precariousness of their human condition. The huge sums of money collected by the faithful help enrich the pastors, who, thanks to their high standard of living, often evolve in the spheres of political power they often try to influence. In a continent that stammers in democracy, the number of followers of these gurus of the faith, and the blind confidence  that their devotees vow to them, is often envied by politicians, who by securing the support of these pastors are certain to draw voters into the ranks of these churches, when they themselves do not believe in the miracles of these good news tellers, to help their political career. Religion becoming a kind of talisman. The rogue pastors do not hesitate to corrupt the administrative authorities so that they can tolerate the expansionist aims of these movements, which, instead of enriching, impoverish the masses by degrading them. The reformist churches in Africa have become a phenomenal factor of underdevelopment and brainwashing of the masses, a state of mind of the populations that can only facilitate a neo-colonization, that may happen sooner than later, if nothing is done.
