Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood: A force to be feared?

The scenes in Egypt have been dramatic, as thousands turn out onto the streets demanding that President Hosni Mubarak resign after 30 years in power.

Few images have been more powerful than those of demonstrators dropping to the ground to pray in the face of security forces. And while some have been inspired by the role of religious faith in the protests, there are definite worries that the banned Muslim Brotherhood is waiting in the wings, hoping for a chance to take over. posted using frpa

Well, at least CNN is questioning whether they are a threat. (Iran redux)

Feared?

Eliminated!

But they have Ramadan dinners in our White House with our Muslim President, Imam Muhamed Soebarkah Obama. Why fear them?

[RC2]

I totally agree. We need to ban any organization that vows to destroy our country. That list should start with communism, Nazis and the MB. The time for being fools in believing that they have the right to do this is over. We can start at the White House.

[PA-RIVER]

We can’t have Ramadan dinners in the WH anymore?

How will Soebarkah celebrate his faith?

[BigFinn]

CAIR.

[RC2]

In the Middle East, where he belongs.

This is a minor blip on the radar. Muslims in America have come out protesting for the protesters in Egypt. We need to be concerned about our own nation and the millions that have quietly grown to be a sizeable force in America. Allah and Christians do not worship the same God. Their The Koran says to kill the infidel, which is anyone not worshiping Allah. So we better wake up and think abit about this. So do you believe they are going to go by the laws of America or the laws of their holy book and Allah?

Yes, they Moslem's Brotherhood will seize power in Egypt and be very like the Alatollma Gomini (sp /) was during Carters adminstration and following. Rigid Islamic sharia Law. Imposed mercilessly. It is like returning to the dark ages. These two religions Christianity, and Islam can not and will not live peacefully side by side. When they have enough power they will strike.

Remember in Russia after the revolution removing and killing of the Czar and his family ... it was the faction known as the Reds that took power. They were about 5% or 6% of the people yet they seized power and Lenin ruled with an iron hand. Read history of Russia during Lenin's time, and following years Stalin's as well. .

There is a huge difference between "force to be feared"--

And the creeping of ideological [jihadi] influence that will take root and be more extreme and much more problematic upon consolidation.

Soo.... as usual

CNN is asking the lesser question --

Making a typical head-fake towards "force??".....

--And away from the real problem--
The seeking of a newly-legitimated Egyptian influence...

Muslim Brotherhood motto: Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
In the 1950's the Muslim Brotherhood conducted a wave of assassinations and arson against western influences in Egypt. It was brutally suppressed after a failed assassination attempt against Nasser.
Muslim Brotherhood children/spin offs (incomplete list): Tanzim al-Jihad/Egyptian Islamic Jihad which is responsible for the assasination of Anwar Sadat. Currently lead by Ayman al-Zawahiri and a constituent group of Al Qaeda.
al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya/ The Islamic Group. Led by Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, this group was responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing and multiple other attempted terrorist attacks in America. It survivors joined Al Qaeda.
Hamas/ The Islamic Resistant movement. Co-founded by Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in "Palestine".
Maktab al-Khadamat (MEK). This was a bridge for Wahabbist and Muslim Brotherhood Jihadis in Afghanistan. Founded by Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, MEK was taken over by Osama Bin Laden after Azzam's assasination. Formed the basis of Al Qaeda.

There are about a dozen more terrorist groups spun off from the Muslim Brotherhood.

I’m surprised that it came from CNN.

Tea Party bad, Muslim brotherhood good. That’s how far gone the left is. That’s how far gone our country is.
