Surprise: Muslim Brotherhood will not recognise Israel

To anybody who has been paying a modicum of attention these last few years, this story from the Jerusalem Post should come as no surprise:

Muslim Brotherhood vows not to recognize Israel

By JPOST.COM STAFF AND REUTERS

Egyptian party's deputy leader tells 'al-Hayat' that they won't negotiate with Israel, will seek to cancel peace treaty.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance,” the party’s deputy leader Dr. Rashad Bayoumi told Arabic daily al-Hayat in an interview published on Sunday.

In recent Egyptian elections the Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) won 36.3 percent of the list vote, while the ultra-conservative Salafi al-Nour Party took 28.8%.

When asked whether it is a requirement for the government in Egypt to recognize Israel, Bayoumi responded by saying: “This is not an option, whatever the circumstances, we do not recognize Israel at all. It’s an occupying criminal enemy.”

The deputy leader stressed during the interview that no Muslim Brotherhood members would ever meet with Israelis for negotiations.“I will not allow myself to sit down with criminals.”...

Weiner's family: One fox in the hen house?

Another American pervert politician resigns, and another sex scandal in the halls of power in Washington DC is put to bed. End of story? As Weiner talks about him and his wife 'healing,' the msm lumbers along as they wait for the next errrrrrrr weiner (choose your own adjective) to expose himself in yet another sordid outing of politicians. The American media does love their sex scandals, and we all know that the next loose cannon who can't keep his zipper done up WILL hold yet another tearful, falsely remorseful press conference apolgising for his perversions, just as sure as night follows day!

Be that as it may, while Nero fiddles, Rome burns, and in the media frenzy to feed the salivating readership, more important far-reaching stories remain uncovered. In direct contrast to the most recent public mea culpas by pathetic politicians caught with their pants down, Weiner's wife remained out of the spotlight, irrelevant, as Weiner threw himself on his sword, and bowed to what we are told was pressure within his own party (D's) to resign. Yes, we are told Mrs Weiner is pregnant, and yes, we are told she is out of the country accompanying her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on diplomatic missions in the middle east.

All open and above board, right? Nothing to see here. Move along. Well, no. As this current administration has proved time and again, it is always what you do not see in the headlines that is shaping the future of America. It is what the media refuses to focus on that is crucially relevant to America's future. BHO continues at breakneck speed to reach out to muslims and appoint them to positions within his inner circle where they can surreptitiously change the face of this Christian nation ('One Nation Under God') beyond all recognition. Nary a whisper from the msm, that willingly plays their part in the distraction game that BHO is a master at.

Some are paying attention. Walid Shoebat is one who continues to write on the fox in the hen house that is the White House, and whether you believe he is an alarmist - hero or snake oil salesman - he consistently writes of the real threats posed by the unfettered, unchecked, insinuation of radical Islam across the west. One of his latest shines a light on the Weiner family connections:

Weiner's In-Laws and the SECRET Muslim Brotherhood Connections REVEALED

Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack

Was Mrs. Weiner (Huma Abedin), the Deputy Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did western media miss what has been REVEALED in several Arab newspapers, which remained SECRET in American government circles?

Al-Liwa Al-Arabi (translated here) claims to have leaked an extensive list, which was partially published by Al-Jazeera and several other major Arab newspapers. The detailed list included Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, as belonging to the Brotherhood’s secret women's division known as the Muslim Sisterhood or what is known as the International Women's Organization (IWO). Egyptian Al-Dostor revealed that the Sisternood included 63 International members that span 16 different countries; it's also confirmed by the Arab Centre for Studies, headed by researcher Abdul Rahim Ali. Neither Huma nor any major western media outlet even mention what is common knowledge in the Arab world. Yet, confirmed by Arab sources – is that Huma Abedin has a brother named Hassan Abedin who works at Oxford University.

What is significant is that Oxford University, which has long been infiltrated by Islamists who founded the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS), has Huma's brother listed as a fellow and partners with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board, including al-Qaeda associate, Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi; both have been listed as OCIS Trustees. Naseef continues to serve as Board Chairman.

In 2009, Qaradawi's role within Oxford and the Muslim Brotherhood was championed by the notorious Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi of Al-Nahda – a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate now active in Tunisia. OCIS has even presented an award for great scholarly achievement to Brotherhood member Shaykh Abd Al-Fattah Abu Gudda, whose personal history goes back to the Brotherhood's founder, Hasan al-Banna.

(Even the Sunday Times acknowledges that the cradle of Islamic Jihad – Al-Azhar University – actively attempts to establish links with OCIS, where Huma's brother serves.)

There is more, connecting the very obvious dots, and Mrs Weiner' and her family's place in the larger scheme of things, and it IS a must read here...

Fact is, the Weiner family is but one example of the connections to Islam being kept in the shadows, because the msm refuses to pull back the covers and report on what is really happening in America. I suppose they could be excused, since to tell the real story of what is happening in America, would require some actual investigative work; not much, but still. Sex scandals are the gift that keeps on giving for the administration and their accomplice msm, and the readers - by and large - swallow the pap that passes for news, content to ignore the critical creep of Islam being hoisted on a largely unsuspecting, sleeping American public.

The facts are out there, and there really is no excuse for ignorance. War on Terror News offers a good primer in their Who is the Muslim Brotherhood?

It sometimes appears that Americans are more interested in who is doing what to who in the bedrooms (and on tweet) of the nation, but America really needs to wake up now, because whilst the sexual peccadilloes of their politicians may be mildly amusing, in the backrooms, behind closed doors, and unreported in the msm - there is a far more dangerous screwing of a whole country going on.

Pay attention.

Democracy is a relative term

By Robert Spencer

February 15, 2011

Everyone is excited about the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. “This is a moment of huge opportunity,” enthused one noted analyst. Another agreed: “We will soon see a new Middle East materializing.” The two analysts in question are Tony Blair and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—and that sums up the reigning confusion about what exactly has happened in Egypt, and what is likely to happen next.

Blair opined that “this is a moment of huge opportunity, not just for Egypt,” but for the entire Middle East. “Despite all those challenges,” Blair added, “this is a moment when the whole of the Middle East could pivot and face towards change and modernization and democracy.”

Maybe. Ahmadinejad, however, is envisioning a wholly different scenario. He predicted that “we will soon see a new Middle East materializing without America and the Zionist regime, and there will be no room for world arrogance [that is, the West] in it.”

So who’s right? Will Egypt become a Western-style pluralistic democracy, with equal rights for women, as well as for its sizable and embattled Christian minority? Or was Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Ahmad Mersi correct when he declared that the Egyptian people want the rule of Islamic law?

Over the course of Egypt’s revolution, the mainstream media has been intent on downplaying the popularity of the Muslim Brotherhood. Egyptian presidential contender Mohamed ElBaradei also minimized both the Brotherhood’s commitment to the draconian elements of Islamic law and its popularity, saying, “This is total bogus that the Muslim Brotherhood are religiously conservative. They are no way extremists. They are no way using violence. They are not a majority of the Egyptian people. They will not be more than maybe 20 percent of the Egyptian people.”

ElBaradei’s claim that the Brotherhood is not “religiously conservative,” although echoed by Obama’s clueless intelligence chief, James Clapper, is ridiculous on its face, and contradicted by numerous statements of past and present Brotherhood leaders, including Mersi. Nonetheless, the Brotherhood has an 80-year history in Egypt, and in the course of 80 years, one may make a lot of enemies—soElBaradei’s lowballing of the Brotherhood’s likely post-Mubarak support within the country may not be very far off the mark.

Nonetheless, it may be able to steer post-Mubarak events in Egypt its way precisely because it is the foremost exponent of political Islam in Egypt. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in Egypt in spring 2010 found that no fewer than 85% of Egyptians thought that Islam was a positive influence in politics. Fifty-nine per cent said they identified with “Islamic fundamentalists” in their struggle against “groups who want to modernize the country,” which had the support of only 27% of Egyptians. Only 20% were “very concerned” about “Islamic extremism” within Egypt.

In light of all that, it may seem puzzling that 59% of Egyptians affirmed that “democracy is preferable to any other kind of government.” But while Westerners may assume that democracy refers in all cases to the implementation of Jeffersonian principles of limited government, tolerance, the free press, and popular accountability, all too often nowadays it has been reduced to mere head-counting—and in Egypt as well as elsewhere in the Middle East, the advocates of political Islam are the ones who have the heads.

That’s why Mohammad-Javad Larijani, secretary-general of the ironically named Iranian High Council for Human Rights, was able to express unqualified support for the Egyptian uprising: “In my opinion, the Islamic Republic of Iran should see these events without exception in a positive light.” He characterized the already-toppled Ben Ali government in Tunisia as “anti-Islamic,” and predicted that soon Tunisians would have a “people’s government.” And in Egypt, Larijani said, “Muslims are more active in political agitation and, God willing, they will establish the regime that they want.”

The regime they want, by all indications, is an Islamic one. A Kerensky-style interregnum featuring an uneasy democratic coalition enjoying little popular support may follow Mubarak, or the military may clamp down entirely on the protests. But if the Egyptian people are allowed to express their will, almost certainly an Islamic regime will follow—with consequences that should give even Tony Blair reason to regret his enthusiasm.

Muslim Brotherhood 'to join talks': What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

This just in on the BBC:

Egypt protests: Muslim Brotherhood 'to join talks'

Egypt's most influential opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, says it will enter talks with officials on ending the country's political crisis.

The group told Reuters the talks would begin on Sunday and would assess how far the government was "ready to accept the demands of the people".

The negotiations would be the first ever to be held between the government and the officially banned Brotherhood.

President Hosni Mubarak has rejected protesters' demands that he quit now.

Mr Mubarak - who has been in office since 1981, tolerating little dissent - has said he will not stand in elections due in September. ...(More here)

Organization: The Muslim Brotherhood has gone through several incarnations. It was founded as a youth group that used education and propaganda to spread its messages. In 1939, the organization was organized as a political party. In 1942, the group created a created a militia called the "Secret Apparatus." that used terrorist tactics within Egypt. It was outlawed by the Egyptian government in 1948, recognized in 1950 as a religious group, and banned again in 1954. In 1984, it was recognized as a religious organization but it still has not been recognized as a political party (members in parliament ran as independents).

A number of groups and figures who espouse terrorist tactics were taught or influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood, such Ayman Al Zawahiri, who founded the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (in part because he wanted an organization that would make more effective use of violence in the service of jihad), and Hamas, the Palestinian group that began as a branch of the Muslim Brothers.

However, currently, as Robert Leiken and Steven Brooke point out in the March/April 2007 Foreign Affairs magazine, "jihadists loathe the Muslim Brotherhood … for rejecting global jihad and embracing democracy."

A Powerful Social Welfare Organization: The Muslim Brotherhood has always provided social welfare to poor Egyptians, from health care to books and subsidies for university students. [all emphases mine] (source)

Doesn't that all sound terribly familiar? It does to me... Today I have been reading that the Muslim Brotherhood is not on the US State Dept list of banned terrorist groups. Some people have gone to great lengths to paint them all as benevolent social agencies. But there could well be a good reason why there is no listing of the MB on any US terrorist watch list. From Canada Free Press - and this is not a recent article:

This year a friend of mine from the CIA, named Bob Baer wrote a very good book about Saudi Arabia and terrorism, it's called Sleeping with the Devil. I read the book and I got about a third of the way through and I stopped. Bob was writing how when he worked for the CIA how bad the files were.

He said, for example, the files for the Muslim Brotherhood were almost nothing. There were just a few newspaper clippings. I called Bob up and said, "Bob, that's wrong. The CIA has enormous files on the Muslim Brotherhood, volumes of them. I know because I read them a quarter of a century ago." He said, "What do you mean?"

Here's how you can find all of the missing secrets about the Muslim Brotherhood -- and you can do this, too. I said, "Bob, go to your computer and type in two words into the search part. Type the word "Banna," B-a-n-n-a. He said, "Yeah." Type in "Nazi." Bob typed the two words in, and out came 30 to 40 articles from around the world. He read them and called me back and said, "Oh my gosh, what have we done?"

What I'm doing today is doing what I'm doing now: I'm educating a new generation in the CIA that the Muslim Brotherhood was a fascist organization that was hired by Western intelligence that evolved over time into what we today know as al-Qaeda...(This article, titled The Muslim Brotherhood, Nazis and Al-Qaeda, has as it's sub-header 'Read it and weep.' It IS a must read here.)

Hamas IS on the Public Safety Canada current listing of 'terrorist entities.' Go take a look, here. No the MB is not specifically listed, (and Hamas is) but it is no surprise since much of what the MB do is "secret."...

For those who would shrug and say that what happens over there is nothing to do with us, I offer this from TerroristPlanet.com:

The Muslim Brotherhood In America

Many American Commentators have labeled the Muslim Brotherhood as "radical Islamists" deeply hostile to America. Hostile to any government that is unwilling to convert to Islamic Law and governing. So why in the 1960's did the organization establish a chapter in the United States? After all America is a democracy. There was not a strong Muslim presence in the United States. America is friend and ally to Israel the arch enemy of fundamental Islam. Well the answer is complex but we will do our best to shed light on this very secretive movement that has changed the face of American Islam.

During the 1960's an influx of Muslims arrived in the United States to study at American Universities. Some of the students were members of the Muslim Brotherhood in their homelands and decided the best way to create unity among Muslims in America and to recruit from this pool of possible candidates for the Muslim Brotherhood was to create the Muslim Students Association in 1963. The main concentration was in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan schools. They hoped to spread the Brotherhood's ideology with other Muslims in America and provide support for the new Muslims arriving yearly to take advantage of the American education system and to gain life experience. To many the transition from the Muslim world to American culture was too dramatic and they felt too isolated due to their beliefs. The purpose of creating these types of organizations in America was to make the transition for Middle Eastern Muslims easier.

There was not a lot of attention paid by Americans to the influx of the Muslim students arriving more and more frequently as each year passed. Many believed it was an educational and a cultural exchange. To many Muslim students this was exactly what it was. However much light was revealed on the organization at the university level of the Muslim Brotherhood Chapter in the United States. In government exhibits presented in the United States of America vs. Holy Land Foundation it presented the following information:

This is a very interesting article for the scope of MB in the US. Go here.

In Canada? You betcha. Found an interesting article:

Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Canada with lawfare — and RCMP approval

by Kathy Shaidle
Posted on September 6 2010 2:00 pm

Stop me if you’ve heard this one…

On their websites, Canada’s highest profile Muslim groups boast about their affinities with the sinister Muslim Brotherhood — then deny it up and down when confronted.

They also suddenly start bragging about all their charitable deeds in the community.

Yeah, well: Al Capone started the first soup kitchen, too.

Exhibit A:

A plan by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) to build an Islamic school in Edmonton has revealed the startling, and openly-admitted link between MAC and the anti-Semitic, jihadist movement known as the Muslim Brotherhood, as outlined in this highly detailed, comprehensively referenced article by Etienne Harvey and Marc Lebuis of Point de Bascule.

Such a charming story, that one. When local residents objected to the school, MAC threatened to sue them for (you guessed it) “Islamophobia.”

Exhibit B:

Canada’s once-renowned Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) force has been plagued by scandals, and this latest little revelation won’t help.

[...]

At their website, YoungMuslims.ca, they boast of having graduated from the Mountie’s “Citizen’s Academy.” Which is all well and good except that a brief review of the rest of their website unearths some troubling stuff.

For instance, the YoungMuslims.ca library showcases the essay “All Muslims Must Make Jihad”, by Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The webmaster of YoungMuslims.ca is listed as Morshed Abul Ala. His Facebook page lists “SHIBIR” as one of his “likes.”

Clicking on “SHIBIR” takes you to the Facebook page of ChhatraShibir, the “student wing of the JAmaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, which came into existence in 1941. A significant aim of the outfit is to establish an Afghanistan-Taliban type Islamist regime in Bangladesh. Consequently, the outfit is opposed to forces of modernization, secularism and democracy.”...(More here)

These are the folks set to jump into the gaping chasm now being created by BHO's rush to push Mubarak out the 'door' of power in Egypt.

From the BBC comes this:

Analysis

Jonathan Marcus BBC Diplomatic correspondent, Munich

---

Mr Wisner is a veteran diplomat who knows Egypt and President Mubarak well. He urged people to control their rhetoric - the more Egyptians hear demands from outside the country for Mr Mubarak to stand down, he argued, the more it could have negative consequences.

The former ambassador set out the familiar US demands - changes to the Egyptian Constitution; respect for minority rights; a free press; free and fair elections and so on.

Crucially he said that, in his view, Mr Mubarak should stay in office to steer these changes through. So is this the view of just a well-informed expert on Egypt? Or a glimpse from Mr Obama's special envoy of the real game plan in Washington?(here)

The Beeb has a profile piece on the MB:

The Ikhwan's most frequently used slogan is: "Islam is the solution"

The Muslim Brotherhood, or al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, is Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation.

Founded by Hassan al-Banna in the 1920s, the group has influenced Islamist movements around the world with its model of political activism combined with Islamic charity work.

The movement initially aimed simply to spread Islamic morals and good works, but soon became involved in politics, particularly the fight to rid Egypt of British colonial control and cleanse it of all Western influence.

Today, though officially banned and subject to frequent repression, the Ikhwan lead public opposition to the ruling National Democratic Party of President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power since 1981.

While the Ikhwan say that they support democratic principles, one of their stated aims is to create a state ruled by Islamic law, or Sharia. Their most famous slogan, used worldwide, is: "Islam is the solution". (more here)

Islam, as we are frequently told, is the 'religion of peace,' but just a brief look around the world today, lends great weight to the following, in my opinion:

Are The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists?

At this point the Muslim Brotherhood of America as a group has not been indicted and convicted of any acts of terrorism on American soil. Nor has it been proven as a group to be financing terrorist groups. The problem with this logic is the same as saying the Godfather is not tied to the crime that his organization commits.. The problem as mentioned in previous pages of this article is that the code of secrecy to the point of not knowing who is and who is not members of the Muslim Brotherhood even within the mosques they have built. [my emphasis] Federal authorities say they have scrutinized the U.S. Brotherhood for years. Agents currently are investigating whether people with ties to the group have raised and laundered money to finance terrorism abroad. No terrorism-related charges have been filed...

There follows a very interesting video of an interview with the wife of a Muslim Brotherhood. Go watch, here.

A couple of excerpts from the rest of this compelling article:

[...]Some terrorist groups—including Hamas, Jamaat al-Islamiyya, and al-Qaeda—have historic and ideological affiliations with the Egyptian Brotherhood. In addition, some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists were once Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood members. It is hard to deny that the Brotherhood is not a terrorist spawning organization. There is just too much evidence to suggest that this large and determined group is not involved in terrorism through raising money from the many charities to the recruitment of their members in secrecy and the exposed members that are in terrorist organizations world wide.. .

[...]

The Brotherhood appears to be using clandestine groups as Jihadist militias on one end of the spectrum and creating mosques and operating charities to assist the poor on the other end. This multi faceted attack is more than likely the fastest way the Brotherhood feels it can achieve it's ultimate goal of not only establishing Islamic rule and law in the Middle East, but also in Europe, America and the rest of the world.

"President Mubarak of Egypt knows them better than everyone," says a senior figure in NATO, "he was there when they fired at Sadat, he saw them slaughter with their own hands hundreds of Egyptian policemen at the beginning of the 1990s. He saw them cross every time anew the borders of sophistication. He knows for years already with whom he is dealing. For a decade, Mubarak is warning that these savage beasts will also catch the western countries with their pants down, tries to convince that the Jihad, the Jemah Al Aslamiya, and the "Front" of Bin Laden are not only his private trouble....

[...]

It seems like every other news report acts as if it is unclear on this organizations status as a terrorist group. The U.S. State Department lists them as a terrorist organization. Terroristplanet.com believes it is a no brainer. Of course they are and it is time that they are exposed in America as they are in Egypt and stopped before they recruit the next generation of terrorists that carry out deadly attacks on U.S. soil. ..

If you read nothing else about the Muslim Brotherhood, read the rest of this article here. It is very easy to read in language we can all understand. If we choose to. I read somewhere that the Muslim Brotherhood is in 70 countries. More than time for us to wake up.

The Muslim Brotherhood: the enemy in its own words

Commentary on the terrorist group that is set to emerge as a major player in the current Egyptian upheaval:

The Muslim Brotherhood: the enemy in its own words

Center for Security Policy | Jan 31, 2011
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.

As Egypt lurches towards the end of Hosni Mubarak's regime, one way or another - by "an orderly transition to democratic rule" (as Hillary Clinton delicately puts it), through violent overthrow or simply through the demise of the ailing 82-year-old president - much is unclear. One thing that should not be is that the Muslim Brotherhood is our enemy, and whatever role it plays in Egypt's future will be to our detriment.

Such clarity is readily available since the Brotherhood (MB or in Arabic, Ikhwan) has told us as much. Consider, for example, the mission statement for the MB found in one of its secret documents entitled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America":

The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

As a blue-ribbon group of national security experts convened by the Center for Security Policy, "Team B II" noted in their new best-seller Shariah: The Threat to America, the incompatability of the Ikhwan's agenda with our interests has been evident from its inception:

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1) to implement shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State (caliphate). Therefore, al Qaeda and the MB have the same objectives. They differ only in the timing and tactics involved in realizing them.

We also know how the Brotherhood plans to pull off our destruction. Another MB document, this one undated, is called "Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan." It describes a five-installment program for achieving the triumph of shariah - together with a status report on the realization of several of the phases' goals:

Phase One: Discreet and secret establishment of leadership....

And there is much more of this MUST READ here, plus you will find more information on this group over at War on Terror News in a column called Who is the Muslim Brotherhood?.

These are dangerous times we live in. BE informed.
