[...]The average member of the Muslim Brotherhood isn't a rabble-rouser, either -- he's a doctor, pharmacist, teacher or lawyer. He wears Western trousers and shirts, not the ankle-long dishdashah garment traditionally worn by Arab men. He's middle class -- and he's filled with rage. Rage over what he sees as the close cooperation between his government and the hopelessly corrupted West. Kept from pursuing his political aims, he is often a functionary amonst his contemporaries in Arab professional associations for doctors, engineers and attorneys.

Jordan is an exception. The Muslim Brotherhood has been tolerated here for almost 60 years. The small Hashemite kingdom has chosen to pursue dialogue and understanding with the Islamists. "We don't want install a theocracy like in Iran. We are moderate Islamists," says Rashid.

Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al Zawahari: The text book example of a member of the Muslim Brotherhood turned terrorist One of the leading figures of Islamic Jihad, the Egyptian doctor Ayman al Zawahiri, is now considered the textbook example of a member of the Muslim Brotherhood turned terrorist. Once the talented scion of a bourgeois family, as a student he was enthralled by the fiery writings of Muslim Brotherhood ideologist Sayyid Qutb, which would lead him to later become a mujahedeen in Afghanistan and the trusted lieutenant of Osama bin Laden. Zawahiri's path has inspired al-Qaida supporters all the way from the Middle East to Europe and is simultaneously concrete proof for the security forces of the Arab world of just how dangerous the Brotherhood is....

Egyptian Amr Hamzawy admits he's become more cautious with his judgments over the past two years. The renowned political scientist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C. is an expert on Islamists movements in the Arab world. Two years ago he was still optimistic. "The moderate Islamists have embraced democratic procedures and have shown a strong commitment to the rule of law," he wrote back then. Europe and the United States would be well advised to engage these "grassroots Islamists" and talk autocratic regimes out of pursuing repressive measures against them....

In the early 1940s, Banna created a paramilitary "secret apparatus" that initiated its members in FREEMASON-LIKE CEREMONIES. Their assassinations of politicians, judges and British soldiers would soon come back to haunt Banna, however. As he got into a taxi in Cairo on Feb. 12, 1949, he was shot dead -- most likely by government agents. His grave in a cemetery in the poor district of Bassatin is distinguishable from the anonymous dead only by its epitaph: "This is the temple of the martyr Hassan al Banna."... http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,491925-2,00.html

The poor little rich guys not unlike the radical leftists over here....the weather underground etc.

Our politicians were in bed with them...probably still are...

Omar Abdel Rahman, spiritual leader of Gamaa Islamiya, was also connected to the conspiracy to bomb the World Trade Center. He was brought to the United States in 1990 under the sponsorship of Muslim Brotherhood members Mahmud Abouhalima, and Mustafa Shalabi. Abouhalima was given a 240 year sentence for his part in the WTC bombing.

“What is of concern is the manner in which Alamoudi persuaded US authorities under two administrations of his reliability. Around 1993, he was an adviser for the Pentagon on which Muslim chaplains should serve in the US military. He continued this role until 1998. From 1997 he acted for the State Department as a “goodwill ambassador” to Muslim countries. He was regularly at the Clinton White House and had advised Hillary Rodham Clinton on managing iftar dinners since 1996. Alamoudi had made donations to the Democrat party but was open to wooing the opposition.”

The MuBarak Obama supporters are simply making sure it is a “smooth transition” for them in September.

Hosni MuBarak and MuBarak Obama have a lot in common...

The communist agent provocateurs (courtesy of the Podesta Group) are disrupting the originally peaceful Egyptian Tea Party.

(Same kind of shysterism MuBarak Obama is trying to do here with our own Tea Party movement.)

The radical Islamists welcome the vacuum of leadership.

The bigger question we need to ask ourselves is this: Is 5,000 years of tyranny in Egypt something we should support?

Hosni Mubarak and MuBarak Obama have so much in common... High unemployment, rising consumer prices, unsustainable government largesse, election fraud and Tea Partiers...

Looks like the CFR is in favor of installing the Muslim Brotherhood to rule Egypt.

Here is a quote from the CFR website:

“Without the Muslim Brotherhood, there’s no legitimacy in whatever happens in Egypt anymore.” — Ed Husain, Senior Fellow, CFR
