Great post, Thanks so much Uncle Ike. Well written and thought out. Deserves a thread of its own!

In fact, I’m going to ping it to a couple of people.

It’s hard to add anything to it, you summed it up well. But, here’s an editorial on the MB, thought it was worth a read.

A Democratic Society is by definition, a secular society based on chaotic Mob Rule. The Islamic World sees Sharia Law as the best and ONLY way to regulate human society.

Any other religion is a contradiction to what they believe. They have one main goal in the ME. And that goal is to convert Israel to Islam, or kill it. Either way, they mean to purge it from the region, one way or the other. And that also includes removing the Western World influences. Especially the USA. And Democracy IS the trademark of the secular Western World.

But then, this is not something you don't’ already know. I am merely expressing some my thoughts.

Looks like Napolitano met with MB this past week as well.

This is Jan/Feb 2010.

Am I missing something? Even 2010, though, important info.

12/23/2010: Egypt Islamists see mass protest at “rigged” vote

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt’s opposition Muslim Brotherhood says it will shift its political struggle to the streets after elections that were “rigged” to ensure the movement was ejected from parliament.

Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie said the group would use peaceful means of dissent against a parliament that he said did not reflect the real strength of Egypt’s opposition or the will of voters.

Thanks Unc,

I would also predict that because of things like this, our own Government will not only continue Bailing Out Egypt, they will double the amounts of aid.

Of course this will then allow the MB, like Hezbollah, to channel USA funds to support radical Islamofascism all throughout the Islamic World. Similar to what Arafat did with Clinton Money, ($20 Billion) which was what helped get Hezbollah established.

Imagine that, our own US Federal money will help fund more attacks on Israel as well as our own interests in the region. Obama has to understand this, he cannot be that stupid can he?

Whenever a group like that loses at the polls the first thing they do is scream “election fraud!”
