Why the sudden rush, right now, to depose Mubarak?
Instead of rioting in the streets, Egyptians should ask the UN to monitor the Presidential election which was already scheduled for this coming September.
If the Egyptians don’t want Mubarak, they can vote him out of office.
[President Obama must surely know that elections are more civil than riots.]
This is O-Bum-O’s Carter moment....
I wonder if the FBI considers the Muslim Brotherhood as dangerous as say “Miltias”?
Snips:
This year, a phenomenal next step has been made where government iftars become coupled with workshops to provide resources and benefit the Muslim community. The US Department of Agriculture (DOA) and the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO) have paired the first of such events, scheduled for August 31, 2010.
…Leaders from Muslim organizations around the nation, particularly social service organizations, are invited to a workshop with representatives from the DOA, Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Health and Human Services, the White House, Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security, and more. Twenty five to thirty Muslim leaders representing 20 Muslim organizations are expected to attend the workshop.
Why do we think some of these groups attending, possibly all, may be associated with the Muslim Brotherhood?
Because the sponsoring organization – the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO), co-sponsoring with the Department of Agriculture – has a long history of associations with the Muslim Brotherhood. They also signed a 2009 American Muslim Task Force statement threatening to “suspend” relations with the FBI, because the FBI was investigating possible links to homegrown terrorism in mosques and other Muslim organizations.
Not so evident on the current website, of course. This happens all the time with groups associated with the Muslim Brotherhood – the current CCMO website has a LOT less information than the older ones preserved at archive.org (aka “The Wayback Machine”). Here are the previous websites for the CCMO from 2004-2008. The pre-whitewashed CCMO websites are highly revealing. They expose the degree to which this Administration intends to direct taxpayer money (and “reduced red tape”) to Muslim Brotherhood-associated organizations in the U.S.
The Pragmatic Fantasy--Elbarade has supported ayatollahs and the Muslim Brotherhood. (EGYPT)
Gaffney should realize that this part of the world is Muslim. Majority wins. Gaffney should alert other leaders that are holding on by one of Uncle Sam’s whiskers to be alert for any crowds forming.
In a sane world, all the civilized countries of the world would reach an agreement to help destroy this criminal organization. We all know most of the “civilized” world will do nothing until their own countries are destroyed from within. There are not enough Geert Wilders.
I guess “democratic rule” will be carte blance to slaughter whatever Christians are left there?
“Therefore, al Qaeda and the MB have the same objectives. They differ only in the timing and tactics involved in realizing them.”
They’re a team. The Muslim Brotherhood’s chief theoreticians have originally provided, and continues to provide core, seminal thinking that is used to inspire all the Islamists groups, no matter their tactics.
The Brotherhood and the terrorists are playing “good cop, bad cop” with the West. Both are destructive to the West; one by direct action, the other by subversion of people (academics, people with influence, policy makers) and institutions (academia, foundations, think tanks, lobbyists, political groups).
The pretense is that the goals of Al Queda and the Brotherhood are different. They’re not. It is only the APPEARANCE of means that they differ, as they jointly proceed in their own roles in a common agenda.
