I would wager that “Friends” of this admin were instrumental in mentoring the “Brotherhood” on exactly HOW to “demonstrate” in a way that would be effective but would allow Obama to not condemn them.....
“We” not only KNEW, certain “We’s” are directly responsible...... Piven, Aires (and wife), etc come to mind....
will be interesting to see just how long these Brotherhood thugs will stay peaceful....in no way do I see the Egyptian Gov’t as non thugs.....but I do believe that both groups love violence, and believe in it as a way to reach their means...the MAIN way.....but both are trying to win public approval....
they just givin up the radical pose for the moment.....
check out: Babylon’s Covert War - the book is on Kindle as well...alot of info on Islamic advancement throughout the world...
“they just givin up the radical pose for the moment.....”
Yep. The Obama administration says they could be accepted if they “renounce violence”, but of course there’s no way to enforce that after they gain control. They’ll just wait until it’s off everybody’s radar. And coordinate more uprisings around the globe.
“Brotherhood members were acting as ‘stewards’. When stone-throwing broke out, a group of Muslim Brothers started chanting ‘Silmiya, silmiya” (Keep it peaceful).” “I’m not going to venture a guess at the level of Muslim Brotherhood participation but, judging from my chance encounters with protesters, any assertion that the movement is absent or very thinly represented is probably wishful thinking. By the way, many Brothers are clean-shaven, wear suits and ties and are physically indistinguishable from other Egyptians of the same class.” The Brotherhood, from long experience of confrontation with the Egyptian authorities, is always wary of commitment to street protests. It will calibrate its level of participation to its assessment of the chances of success. If it overreaches, it runs the risk of a massive crackdown. For the moment, probably rightly, it is not convinced that the protests will overthrow the regime.
The Brotherhood knows that the world (especially the United States and Europe) are watching events in Egypt closely. If the protests appear to be Brotherhood-led, the government will feel free to use much more brutal methods to disperse protesters. For the moment it suits the Brotherhood’s interests to give the impression that there is a broad coalition united against Hosni Mubarak, including liberals and leftists. This explains why Brotherhood members who have taken part in the protests have refrained from chanting slogans with religious connotations. The impression of a broad coalition also helps domestically — if the Brotherhood take the lead, it would frighten off some of the other groups.
The Brotherhood believes that, given freedom and time, it can win over Egyptians to its long-term agenda.

“We the people and the youth of Egypt demand from our brothers in the national armed forces to outline their position clearly and without ambiguity. They must either take the side of millions of Egyptians protesting or stand in the camp of the regime. We await a response to this statement from now until Thursday, February 3, bearing in mind that if no response is given, it means bias towards the regime, at which point we call on
all Egyptians to protest on February 4 for the ‘Friday of Departure’ after Friday prayers. Finally, we call on people to march to the presidential palace and parliament building and the state broadcast building in millions across Egypt ... to impose the wished of the Egyptian people.”
