We Got Mail from the Muslim Brotherhood
Today a visitor from Egypt discovered LGF by searching the Egyptian version of Google (yes, there’s an Egyptian Google) for “muslim brotherhood,” which led him to this LGF post: The Truth About the Muslim Brotherhood.

This prompted our Egyptian reader to send the following message through our contact form, assuring us that the Islamic cause is “totally peaceful,” and inviting us to check out the web site of the Muslim Brotherhood for ourselves and see what great guys they are:

Dear sir

I’m touched by your worm sympathetic words towards the Islamic cause, which I assure you is a totally peaceful one. Islam dictates on its follower to pursue justice and prosperity through peaceful means that is based on mutual respect of other fellow human beings of all creeds. Islam does not nurtures nor advocates terrorism, but surely like any other religion (and in line with all human conventions and current international laws) it legislates for defending one’s self if unjustly attacked without any provocations in order to prevent spreading of injustices and hence corruption and to ensure a just world for all human to share its potentials. To this end I would like to introduce you to The Muslim Brotherhood Group, a socio-economical, political and spiritual movement that is promoting the middle course Islam and is embracing peaceful means in its long struggle to achieve social justice and bring about the long awaited for political reforms via the democratic change in Egyptb and elsewhere.

I would also want to draw your attention to the fact that www.ikhwanweb.com is the only official English web site airing the views of the Muslim Brotherhood Group on current national and international affairs as well as giving a true account of the group’s history and their standing viewpoints.

Kind Regards

Interestingly, our visitor’s IP address traces to the Egyptian Military Medical Academy in Cairo. Excuse me while I feel slightly creeped out.
