Muslim Brotherhood Moves To Form Egypt Unity Gov't Without Mubarak

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed ... by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary... The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it." (H. L. Mencken)

HOW MANY HOBGOBLINS EXIST ON ATS?

reply to post by tiger5


The Muslim Brotherhood is an extreme group of individuals. However, you'll get many ATS members defending them for some reason. It seems to quite a few people, religious fanatics don't exist in the Middle East

Deny ignorance.

I give my best wishes to Egypt and hope the MB doesn't get in charge of things. Last thing we need is another radical group in power over there.

Heh, it looks like White House is also giving the MB a nod.

One wild card, in the allies' thinking, is the role of the Muslim Brotherhood.

An official close to the administration said U.S. officials are in touch with Muslim Brotherhood representatives through interlocutors. The official said White House leaders have made it clear they understand "that the Muslim Brotherhood is part of the fabric of Egyptian society."

The Moderate Muslim Brotherhood

Even if calling them "moderate" is probably a stretch, they are not very extremist, compared to Wahhabis or Taliban. They agree for example with democracy and freedom of speech (at least thats the official stance..).

I am not buying all of the Moderate Whitewash they have put on as of late.

They went on a PR campaign ahead of time, knowing that soon this day was coming.

They are radical Islamists.

Muslim Brotherhood: ‘Prepare Egyptians for war with Israel'

The leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.

They are not in power yet, but are already calling for holy wars.

All those people who keep talking about how the Muslim Brotherhood is not radical group to to read there official website, they call for a caliphate and the destruction of Isreal. They assassinated the previous Egyptian president and have ties to terrorist groups.

Saying that the Muslim Brotherhood isn't dangerous and violent is like denying that the IRA and Shinn Fein where not really the same group. The Brotherhood is the political arm for a much larger terrorist group.

I find it funny that Soros is no longer even trying to hide how much he is tied into these groups, I suspect that means he figures he's immune to anything or he figures e is so far along in his plans that it doesn't matter.

www.discoverthenetworks.org...

Organizations that, in recent years, have received direct funding and assistance from George Soros and his Open Society Institute (OSI) include the following. (Comprehensive profiles of each are available in the "Groups" section of DiscoverTheNetworks.org):

American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.

American Institute for Social Justice: AISJ's goal is to produce skilled community organizers who can “transform poor communities” by agitating for increased government spending on city services, drug interdiction, crime prevention, housing, public-sector jobs, access to healthcare, and public schools.

The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.

Amnesty International: This organization directs a grossly disproportionate share of its criticism for human rights violations at the United States and Israel.

Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now: This group conducts voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption.

Bill of Rights Defense Committee: This group provides a detailed blueprint for activists interested in getting their local towns, cities, and even college campuses to publicly declare their opposition to the Patriot Act, and to designate themselves "Civil Liberties Safe Zones." The organization also came to the defense of self-described radical attorney Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support for terrorism.

Brookings Institution: This organization has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including one that aspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government.

Constitution Project: This organization seeks to challenge the legality of military commissions; end the detainment of "enemy combatants”; condemn government surveillance of terrorists; and limit the President's executive privileges.

Gisha: Center for the Legal Protection of Freedom of Movement: This anti-Israel organization seeks to help Palestinians "exercise their right to freedom of movement."

Human Rights First: This group supports open borders and the rights of illegal aliens; charges that the Patriot Act severely erodes Americans' civil liberties; has filed amicus curiae briefs on behalf of terror suspect Jose Padilla; and deplores the Guantanamo Bay detention facilities.

Human Rights Watch: This group directs a disproportionate share of its criticism at the United States and Israel. It opposes the death penalty in all cases, and supports open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

I'lam: This anti-Israel NGO seeks "to develop and empower the Arab media and to give voice to Palestinian issues."

Institute for Public Accuracy: This anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel organization sponsored actor Sean Penn’s celebrated visit to Baghdad in 2002. It also sponsored visits to Iraq by Democratic Congressmen Nick Rahall and former Democrat Senator James Abourezk

International Crisis Group: One of this organization's leading figures is its Mideast Director, Robert Malley, who was President Bill Clinton's Special Assistant for Arab-Israeli Affairs. His analysis of the Mideast conflict is markedly pro-Palestinian.

J Street: This anti-Israel group warns that Israel’s choice to take military action to stop Hamas' terrorist attacks “will prove counter-productive and only deepen the cycle of violence in the region”

Jewish Funds for Justice: This organization views government intervention and taxpayer funding as crucial components of enlightened social policy. It seeks to redistribute wealth from Jewish donors to low-income communities “to combat the root causes of domestic economic and social injustice.” By JFJ's reckoning, chief among those root causes are the inherently negative by-products of capitalism – most notably racism and “gross economic inequality.”

Lynne Stewart Defense Committee: IRS records indicate that Soros's Open Society Institute made a September 2002 grant of $20,000 to this organization. Stewart was the criminal-defense attorney who was later convicted for abetting her client, the "blind sheik" Omar Abdel Rahman, in terrorist activities connected with his Islamic Group.

Mercy Corps: Vis a vis the Arab-Israeli conflict, Mercy Corps places all blame for Palestinian poverty and suffering directly on Israel.

NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund: The NAACP supports racial preferences in employment and education, as well as the racial gerrymandering of voting districts. Underpinning its support for race preferences is the fervent belief that white racism in the United States remains an intractable, largely undiminished, phenomenon.

National Committee for Voting Integrity: This group opposes "the implementation of proof of citizenship and photo identification requirements for eligible electors in American elections as the means of assuring election integrity."

National Lawyers Guild: This group promotes open borders; seeks to weaken America's intelligence-gathering agencies; condemns the Patriot Act as an assault on civil liberties; rejects capitalism as an unviable economic system; has rushed to the defense of convicted terrorists and their abettors; and generally opposes all U.S. foreign policy positions, just as it did during the Cold War when it sided with the Soviets.

Natural Resources Defense Council: One of the most influential environmentalist lobbying groups in the United States, the Council claims a membership of one million people.
New America Foundation: This organization uses policy papers, media articles, books, and educational events to influence public opinion on such topics as healthcare, environmentalism, energy policy, the Mideast conflict, global governance, and much more.

Pacifica Foundation: This entity owns and operates Pacifica Radio, awash from its birth with the socialist-Marxist rhetoric of class warfare and hatred for capitalism.

Ploughshares Fund: This public grantmaking foundation opposes America's development of a missile defense system, and contributes to many organizations that are highly critical of U.S. foreign policies and military ventures.

Project Vote: This is the voter-mobilization arm of the Soros-funded ACORN. A persistent pattern of lawlessness and corruption has followed ACORN/Project Vote activities over the years.

Shadow Democratic Party: This is an elaborate network of non-profit activist groups organized by George Soros and others to mobilize resources -- money, get-out-the-vote drives, campaign advertising, and policy iniatives -- to elect Democratic candidates and guide the Democratic Party towards the left.

Sojourners: This evangelical Christian ministry preaches radical leftwing politics. During the 1980s it championed Communist revolution in Central America and chastised U.S. policy-makers for their tendency "to assume the very worst about their Soviet counterparts." More recently, Sojourners has taken up the cause of environmental activism, opposed welfare reform as a "mean-spirited Republican agenda," and mounted a defense of affirmative action.

Southern Poverty Law Center: This organization monitors the activities of what it calls “hate groups” in the United States. It exaggerates the prevalence of white racism directed against American minorities.

World Organization Against Torture: This coalition works closely with groups that condemn Israeli security measures against Palestinian terrorism.

So that is just the ones related to terrorism and the Middle east. There are hundreds more that he directly funds.
The there are these organizations that the groups he funds in turn fund, all so he can be at arms lenght.

J Street: Founded in April 2008, the Washington, DC-based J Street describes itself deceptively as “the political arm of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement.”

John Adams Project:This project of the American Civil Liberties Union was accused of: (a) having hired investigators to photograph CIA officers thought to have been involved in enhanced interrogations of terror suspects detained in Guantanamo, and then (b) showing the photos to the attorneys of those suspects, some of whom were senior al-Qaeda operatives.

Media Matters for America: Seeking to "systematically monitor [the media] for conservative misinformation" and to discredit anything that "forwards the conservative agenda," this group, which has intimate ties to Hillary Clinton, works very closely with the Soros-backed Center for American Progress. It is heavily funded by Democracy Alliance, of which Soros is a major financier.

I found the following interesting article. I've snipped it to just the important parts.

Egypt's Future and the Chameleon Muslim Brotherhood

by IPT News



Meanwhile, former International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohammed El-Baradei may be making progress in his campaign to become the consensus candidate to lead a future Egyptian government. The Muslim Brotherhood has been content to lurk in the background throughout the weeklong uprising against Mubarak's government.

It has supported the protests and helped organize local vigilante efforts against looting and vandalism. And it has endorsed El-Baradei's campaign, creating concern over how much power and influence the Brotherhood might enjoy under an emerging Egyptian government.


Both men argue that the Brotherhood is a relatively moderate movement in a sea of Islamic radicalism. The group has renounced violence, both say, and are far from subscribing to the blood-lust ideology driving al-Qaida.

That view glosses over the Brotherhood's core fundamentalist attitude that could subject women and Egypt's religious minorities to second-class status, threaten the 30-year peace between Egypt and Israel, and benefit terrorist groups including Hizballah and Hamas, a group created by the Brotherhood to carry out terrorist violence against Israel.

This belief was made clear in August during a sermon by Brotherhood General Guide Mohammed Badie. "The Zionists, the West and the lackey rulers conspired together. If the Muslim Brotherhood had remained in the field, the Zionist Entity would not have stood nor its flag raised," he said.

Brotherhood power in Egypt "would be calamitous for U.S. security," counters Council on Foreign Relations President Emeritus Leslie Gelb. "What's more, their current defenders don't really argue that point, as much as they seem to dismiss it as not important or something we can live with. The MB supports Hamas and other terrorist groups, makes friendly noises to Iranian dictators and torturers, would be uncertain landlords of the critical Suez Canal, and opposes the Egyptian-Israeli agreement of 1979, widely regarded as the foundation of peace in the Mideast. Above all, the MB would endanger counterterrorism efforts in the region and worldwide. That is a very big deal."

To the Brotherhood, violence is justifiable when it agrees with the cause. "They cry to us: freedom is not granted from an occupying usurper, not is it implored at negotiations tables," the group's leader said in a March sermon. "Throughout history an occupying usurper will only depart through resistance. The people will only obtain their freedom through Jihad. The history of freedom is not written in ink but in blood."

What has the Brotherhood said about its vision of governance?

In 2007, when it was under the control of more reform-minded leaders, the Brotherhood called for a "Supreme Ulama Council" – a group of religious scholars – which would vet government decisions to ensure they are consistent with Islamic law.

The following year, MB Secretary-General (now its deputy leader) Mahmoud Ezzat gave an interview in which he explained that "in Islam there is no difference between politics and religion ... I personally feel astonished when I hear that reform can be achieved without resorting to Islamic principles."

Women and religious minorities, including Coptic Christians, would be prohibited from holding positions of power. And the group's opposition to violence has its limits. Israeli intelligence sources say the Brotherhood has been funneling money and facilitating the covert flow weapons to Hamas in Gaza. One of its most influential theologians, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has repeatedly sanctioned suicide bombings by Palestinians and by Iraqis fighting American soldiers.

He has called the Holocaust a punishment of Jews for their corruption and expressed his dying wish to kill an Israeli and be killed by an infidel in order to achieve martyr status. Qaradawi is no fringe voice within the movement. He has repeatedly been offered the post of Brotherhood spiritual guide.

And his views on suicide bombings were echoed in a July sermon from Badie, the general guide. "Jihad and resisting the occupier are not terrorism," Badie said, "and martyrdom seeking operations are not suicide."

Meanwhile, there's little to indicate that the Brotherhood's vision is representative of those taking to the streets throughout Egypt.

For regular Egyptians, the spontaneous revolution was remarkable in how fast it spread throughout the country despite the termination of the internet and cell phones. They trained their anger on the reviled President and his henchmen, the internal police who had long been the Mubarak's shock troops in suppressing free speech and carrying out physical abuse and even torture. As the violence of the weekend wore off, the military was out in force befriending the protesters as well as in trying to tamp down the violence. In contrast to other revolutions, the military in Egypt was not hated or reviled by the people.

Rather it was a respected institution that was not involved in the suppression of rights or in the incarceration of citizens. Observers also say that the Egyptian military also was not widely infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood except at lower ranks, the type of lower ranks that permitted Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the military in 1981 and assassinate President Anwar Sadat.

It is the Egyptian military that is the real power behind the throne. And if it decides that Mubarak has to go, then Mubarak will be gone.

When the time comes for free elections, the question is going to be raised whether the MB should be allowed to participate.

The Obama Administration seems open to the Brotherhood, inviting its officials to his June 2009 speech in Cairo.

can't say that I didn't warn everyone
last night at 8:06 pm with this post:

And since the final objective is the destruction
of Israel, then the funding for these organizations
like Code Pink, CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood and wikileaks comes
into play. And who funds ALL OF THEM ???
George Soros

www.abovetopsecret.com...

and this post at 8:36 pm last night

This is not about Islamic Freedom or Civil Rights.

This is about War and Peace.

With Mubarek out of the way there
can be war with Israel. Just one of the stepping
stones to the Global NWO.

I find it suspicious that the prisoners walked out after the guards all ran away. More likely the MB paid them to walk away.

Boondock and Burn the ships

Are we seeing the beginning of a new Theocracy or the beginning of the rebuilding of the Caliphate or is there a chance that that we may see a democracy dispite all the whitewashing going on? I think things will get very expensive on the east coast and europe if the suex falls to the brotherhood.

Great article, thank you Exile!

I have a hard time understanding how so many as you say, and even here on ATS where
the motto is deny ignorance are almost and some out right defending the MB.

Its shocking really...OT was spot on with his assements.

How quickly people forget.

An important aspect of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology is the sanctioning of Jihad such as the 2004 fatwa issued by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawimaking it a religious obligation of Muslims to abduct and kill U.S. citizens in Iraq.[55]

It advocated a war of Arabism and Islamic Jihad against the British and the Jews.[58]

The Muslim brotherhood waged a "Holy war" against Syria after the Hama massacre.[59]

Boon yes, you called it.
Spot on.

reply to post by exile1981


Exile, yes I think this was the goal all along. According to plan.

Its Jihad, to gain control and enact Sharia Law...

From its Islamic theme in its symbolism: on its flag there's a brown square frames a green circle with a white perimeter. Two swords cross inside the circle beneath a red Koran. The cover of the Koran says: "Truly, it is the Generous Koran." The Arabic beneath the sword handles translates as "Be prepared." A reference to a Koranic verse that talks of preparing to fight the enemies of God.[61]It is among 17 groups categorized as "terrorist organizations" by the Russian government,[62] as well as in Egypt, where they started to perform terrorist attacks, now banned by that government.[63]

Scholar states that in "The Muslim Brotherhood's Conquest of Europe," its real goal is to extend Islamic law Sharia throughoutEurope and theUnited States.[64]

As much as I dislike Wikipedia here is there comment on the Muslim Brotherhoods stated goals for the US.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been active in the US since the 1960s. Its stated goals have included propagating Islam and creating havens for Muslims in the US, and integrating Muslims. A main strategy has been dawah or Islamic renewal and outreach. In the 1960s, groups such as U.S. military personnel, prison inmates and African-Americans were specifically targeted for dawah. The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood in the USA is

The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" their 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 religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.[72]

Organizations in the US started by activists involved with the Muslim Brotherhood include the Muslim Students Association in 1963,[17] North American Islamic Trust in 1971, the Islamic Society of North America in 1981, the American Muslim Council in 1990, the Muslim American Society in 1992, and the International Institute of Islamic Thought in the 1980s.[17] According to the Washington Post, Muslim activists say MSA's members represent "all schools of Islam and political leanings – many are moderates, while others express anti-U.S. views or support resistance against Israelis."[17]

The Holy Land Foundation trial has led to the release as evidence of [73] several documents on the Muslim Brotherhood. One of these documents, dated in 1991, explains that the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. is “settlement”, defined by the author as a form of jihad aimed at destroying Western civilization from within and allowing for the victory of Islam over other religions.[74] In another one of these documents, "Ikhwan in America", the author alleges that the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US include going to camps to do weapons training (referred to as Special work by the Muslim Brotherhood),[75] as well as engaging in counter-espionage against US government agencies such as the FBI and CIA (referred to as Securing the Group).[76] In November 2008 the Holy Land Foundation was found guilty of illegally funding Palestinian militant group Hamas, which is designated by the United States as a terrorist group.[

This is the actual logo of the Muslim Brotherhood. The groups slogan I think best explains their goals and ideals.
"God is our purpose, the Prophet our leader, the Qur'an our constitution, Jihad our way and dying for God's cause our supreme objective"

reply to post by exile1981


Agreed, you know they are radical when even Wikipedia says so.

I will save the entire webpage, see if someone comes along to whitewash it.

Here is another link in Wikipedia that they will have a hard time whitewashing.

en.wikipedia.org...

The Holyland Foundation operation was called the “largest terrorism financing prosecution in American history.”

The creed of the Muslim Brotherhood is

'Allah is our objective;
The Quran is our constitution,
The Prophet is our leader;
Jihad is our way; and
Death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations"

reply to post by exile1981


Also, yes their flag. You notice that they are not flying it right now in the protests.

I would add the little laughing smiley, but it is not funny. Its darned serious.

As much as I dont like Fox news, they had a guest on a few months ago,
in which he goes into detail on Sharia law, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

exile,

burntheships was correct when she said Sharia Law.
It will be the duty of the Muslim Brotherhood to unite
all of the Muslim Nations under Sharia. This is why
there are so many protests and revolts going on at
the same time. Revolutions among brother nations
tend to spread like wildfire.

I also posted this on 1/29/11

George Soros, OSI and NED
have been funding and training students
in Tunisia through CIA Ops to overthrow
the US Puppet corrupt dictator there.
They are doing it in Egypt too. Remember
Soros' 5-step plan using humanitarian aid
as a cover to fund the opposition.

This kid may have been to NY to train
how to overthrow Mubarek but it wasn't
the US Gov that did it. The lie in this article
is to cover the tracks of Soros. Nothing more.
Soros on many occasions uses the US Gov
as a scapegoat for his ops.

The true objective here is NOT Egypt or Tunisia.
It's to conquer Israel. The Islamic Revolution
will be the catapult to the destruction of Israel.
And the Arabs will be his standing army.

I think that pretty much says it all.
The NWO's cards are out on the
