Muslim Brotherhood: ‘Prepare Egyptians for war with Israel'
Jerusalem Post ^ | 02/01/2011 | YAAKOV LAPPIN

Posted on 02/01/2011 5:46:56 AM PST by RobertClark

A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.

Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”

Ghannem praised Egyptian soldiers deployed by President Hosni Mubarak to Egyptian cities, saying they “would not kill their brothers.” He added that Washington was forced to abandon plans to help Mubarak stay in power after “seeing millions head for the streets.”

Here, at last, is a crisis worthy of President Obama.

And our fearless leader has wet himself while firmly in charge. What a joke of a leader. Maybe we should take to the streets if getting somebody out of office is this easy.

I wonder why the UN is still silent on all this, by now I was almost expecting a flotilla from the Brits, the French, Italy and basically all the NATO countries that require tanker oil coming through the Suez.

Before starting down that path, he should carefully consider what happened the last time his country attacked Israel.

Yawn.

Which of us us surprised at that?

Israel should, in no uncertain terms, threaten to nuke these genocidal savages if they try anything.

The UN will only speak out when/if Muslims are killed in an Israeli retaliatory strike against an Islamic led attack on Israel. If it comes to it, expect Israel to destroy the Aswan Dam and flood Egypt back to the Biblical period. If the Islamicists want war it will eventually come to pass.

Obama would have sanctions and cut relations with Israel if they do. Never forget Obama is not for us or Israel. He hates America and Israel.

I think the Egyptians are smart enough to float the idea that an attack on the dam is the equivalent of a nuclear attack. The media will pick up the story and the Israelis will not be able to do it.

Well, it might end the concerns about the Suez Canal.

At least we know that America will never have a president that is not a friend to Israel. Good thing we worked hard over the years to make them dependent upon us.

Welfare for bums that won’t work has the same effect on the bum that foreign aid has on the recipient country. It reduces self-sufficiency.

But, there would never be a US president that would let Israel hang out to dry in a time of trial, right?

Obama will do nothing except make a speech to say, “Welcome our Muslim brethren in power. May they spread worldwide as I am one of you today”.
Count on it.

It seems these sand dwellers are not motivated by anything but hatred of non-believers. Assuming Allah exists, he must be embarrassed to tears by his following. He should wipe the sand clean and start over. Or not.

All the democracies seem to have become radical recently. The few that seem to be against this radical muslim chaos are the monarchies.

Good thing we’ve been “making the world safe for [the great god] Democracy”.
