The Red-Green Alliance: Muslim Brotherhood, ANSWER Battle Mubarak

As soon as I’d heard about the events in Tunisia, I hopped over to the English-language website of the Ikhwan, or the Muslim Brotherhood. [One of the delights of tracking the Brotherhood in America and internationally is the differences between their very friendly-looking web presence for gullible Westerners, the English Ikhwanweb, and the more militant and honest site in Arabic, Ikhwanonline. Just a comparison of their banner images-- the crossed swords in Arabic, vs. the girl with a 'freedom' banner in English-- tells you a story of deception. See for yourselves.]

When I learned that the Muslim Brotherhood was four-square behind the revolution in Tunisia– and was gearing up for the protests (the Friday ‘Day of Rage’) in Egypt, I knew something really bad was afoot.

This article caused me to read-up on Michel Foucault (Mr. Zabriskie Point), whom I vaguely remember. I'm thinking he would be a hero to Ward Churchill.

[stefanbatory]

not a thread about duct tape then?

[bronxville]

This is terrific reporting. Thanks for the post. I’ll check back later with bigpeace as they appear to be on the ball.

Michel Foucault was one of the many horrible French “thinkers” unleashed on the world in the French post-colonial period. He was particularly disgusting (he was not just a homosexual, but was involved in SM and had nasty theories supporting his practices), but he wasn’t alone.

They hated France, they hated Western civilization in general, they idealized - or even idolized - the brutal non-Western savage and regarded any hurt inflicted upon France or upon the West as cause for celebration. They hated Christianity (which, like Nietzsche, they regarded as a “slave religion”) and exalted the brutality and cruelty of Islam.

They were all radical leftists, but there’s no contradiction at all between Islamic beliefs and a Communist-style centralized and collectivist economy controlling a population. Islam is very collectivist, and like all socialist economic theories, permits the party chiefs (the mullahs and sheiks) to live a life of luxury. They’re special, after all.

Incidentally, homosexuality, particularly tinged with sadomasochism, is quite acceptable among the powerful in the Muslim world, and pederasty is not even a crime; that’s what young boys are for, isn’t it?

AUGUST 2010 The Obama WH announced the 'Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood,' will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups August 31 to Washington, DC.

The Muslim groups will attend a special workshop presented by the White House and US Government agencies, including Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, HHS, etc., to provide the groups tax funding, government assistance and resources. "The August 31 workshop will provide special access for the Muslim Brotherhood organizations. We pledge to provide direct access and cut through red tape. " "The US Government and the Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner breaking the fast of Ramadan after the workshop. " SOURCE bigpeace.com

The Muslim Brotherhood in America

The Muslim Brotherhood is a group that's committed to jihad, sharia law and establishing Islamic domination in the U.S. The organization shares the same goals as al Qaeda, but some experts believe -- as a long-term threat to American security -- the Brotherhood is more dangerous than Osama bin Laden's followers.(Excerpt) Read more at cbn.com ...

We are witnessing the unification of the muslim world before our eyes.

This lays the groundwork for a major world war between muslims and non-muslims.

[SECURE AMERICA]

If they are muslim they are a threat and danger to America.
islam and Freedom and Liberty are not compatible.

Here's a portion of the email in the article from ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism):

The U.S. gives $2 billion per year to prop up the Mubarak dictatorship. Egypt is second only to Israel as the largest receipient of U.S. “foreign aid.” That “assistance” has been used to buy the tear gas and other weapons and equipment that are killing Egyptian people attempting to exercise their right to protest and speak out.

This group pretends to abhor conflict. What do they suppose will happen when this information is presented? Are people of the region going to read that and say....."Hey, that's not nice" and move on? Doubt it. Especially among the MB types.

great source

That's about the size of it.

And we have an America hating muslim sympathizer for a commander in chief.

Business will trump fundamentalism and will prevail.

The business men will exert their control in the end

[penelopesire]

Ping to thread and Liz’s post!

Didn't work in Iran that had a highly developed business base prior to the Ayatollah.

[Yardstick]

He’s right. It’s like 1979 all over again, with the lefties siding with the Islamics against a US client state. One difference I see here is that the Mubarak government is probably more corrupt and less committed to the good of the people than the Shah was, which makes it easier to sympathize with the anti-government side.

This fits in with my Dot Connection Project very neatly. Thanks for ping!

[TEXOKIE]

Greetings! Pinging you to a story with some interesting background info on the Muslim Brotherhood situation and things on the ground in the Middle east.

[penelopesire]

What is the latest on Tunisa? I haven’t followed that revolt very closely. Is the MB rearing their ugly agenda there yet?

MB is supporting El Baradei according to news reports. The left in this country loves ElBaradei because he is an anti-american zealot who helped the enemies of America get the bomb and helped them undermine Bush’s foreign policy/agenda in Iraq,Iran and North Korea.
It is beginning to look like a leftist,UN, MB plot unfolding across the Middle East. Get ready for the stock market to crash and oil to go through the roof. I shuddered to think of Iran controlling the Hormuz Straight and the Muslim brotherhood/Islamists controlling the Suez Canal.

“This lays the groundwork for a major world war between muslims and non-muslims.”

Actually this lays the groundwork for a major world war between Communinists and non-Communists.

Islamo Facism is just the vehicle being used.

The U.S. gives $2 billion per year to prop up the Mubarak dictatorship.

That's all it costs for Egypt? I always figured $10bil per year to Saddam would have been better and cheaper than what we wound up spending on Iraq.

Tunisia is about to go the way of Iran
