the scotsman has stated in other post that the Muslim brotherhood is not a serious threat. So if I may take that to the obvious conclusion there is no need to create an orginization to oppose them.
There's one problem with that viewpoint: if you wait until the Islamists ARE a serious threat, then no organization opposing their agenda will be allowed to form.
As it stands, the Islamists and their supporters in government attempt to marginalize, threaten, and intimidate the EDL. Will that become less as the Islamists become more powerful? Or will the Islamists threaten more in the way of reprisals (both domestically and abroad) against British citizens and financial interests unless the EDL (or any other anti-Islamist that tries to arise) is vigorously suppressed by the Brit government?
What would the Brit government do when the Muslim population has doubled, and their ability to conduct terrorism on British soil has increased many-fold? What would the Brit government do when Muslim Brotherhood-controlled governments in Libya, Egypt, and elsewhere are in a position to nationalize or burn Brit corporate assets unless Britain obeys Sharia?
No, what I said was, and I was actually agreeing with an earlier point from an American freeper who is conservative and ex-military and has vast experience of the ME and North Africa, that there is too much hysteria about the rebels and radical Islam, that there now seems to be a notion that all the rebels are secretly Muslim terrorists.
There seems to be an idea forming on FR that the whole of the Arab world will now become one giant terrorist state, from Spanish Morocco to Egypt, Sudan to Turkey.
What I said was that the Muslim Brotherhood IS a threat, but that ethnic/tribal makeups will mean that their power will be limited, esp in North Africa. In other words, their potential has and is being overexaggerated.
