Robert Spencer on the Muslim Brotherhood

From Front Page Mag Feb 2, Robert Spencer dissects the Muslim Brotherhood/Obama connection, and the implications thereof.  A very worthwhile read.


Obama’s Brotherhood Moment

Game over: Barack Obama has endorsed a role for the Muslim Brotherhood in a new, post-Mubarak government for Egypt.

This should come as no surprise. Obama has behaved consistently all along, from his refusal to back the protesters in Iran, who were demonstrating against an Islamic Republic, to his backing of these protesters in Egypt, to whom he has just given a green light to establish a government that, given numerous historical precedents, will likely be the precursor to an Islamic Republic.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Monday that a post-Mubarak Egyptian ruling group “has to include a whole host of important nonsecular actors that give Egypt a strong chance to continue to be [a] stable and reliable partner.”
Robert Malley, an Obama adviser and Mideast negotiator for Bill Clinton, explained that Obama’s expression of willingness to see the Brotherhood as part of a ruling coalition in Egypt was a “pretty clear sign that the U.S. isn’t going to advocate a narrow form of pluralism, but a broad one.”
 
In The Post-American Presidency, Pamela Geller and I profile Robert Malley, Samantha Power, and other fierce foes of Israel in the Obama Administration. In light of the information we reveal in the book, the Administration’s stance toward the Muslim Brotherhood comes as no surprise. But the ideology and goals of the Muslim Brotherhood will come as a surprise to most Americans, especially now that the mainstream media is retailing numerous soothing falsehoods about the group. Thus they warrant a closer look.

Contrary to claims that it is a moderate organization, the Muslim Brotherhood is actually the prototypical Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia group of the modern age. Founded by Hasan al-Banna in Egypt in 1928, the Brotherhood emerged as a response to colonialism and Western influence in the Islamic world. Al-Banna wrote that “a wave of dissolution which undermined all firm beliefs was engulfing Egypt in the name of intellectual emancipation. This trend attacked the morals, deeds and virtues under the pretext of personal freedom. Nothing could stand against this powerful and tyrannical stream of disbelief and permissiveness that was sweeping our country.” His remedy? Restoration of Islamic law as the ruling principle of governance.

Yeah know Barry.... I just read all that you posted and fortunately/unfortunately I understand every bit of it.

With the massive amount of information, one has to immerse themselves in today, it is no wonder that the big, the tall, the short, the skinny, the fat, the bright and the dumb can even absorb and dissect and quantify it all....

This is a real battle. I just hope I can raise my kids and grandkids with the same discerning ability, or at least connect them to it before I pass. The job will not be done before I die, I can see that now; before I could not.

I sure am glad I have the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth, to help give me direction and insights that I otherwise would not of been able to discern.

Kindly,
A

The US administration have hardly 'given a green light' to the Egyptian uprising. First, they backed Mubarak. When they realised the jig was up, they backed his torturer-in-chief. As for the US government 'endorsing' a role for the Muslim Brotherhood, do you really think they have a choice? They, like the other Zionists in Tel Aviv, are desperately backtracking, not leading events as this article implies.

When it comes to 0bama and his claims to be anything other than a Muslim: TAQQIYA.
