Habib, before the squirming
The stalwart Egyptian blogger Sandmonkey recently interviewed Mohammed Habib, who, he says, "is slated to become the next Supreme Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood."
Toward the end of the interview Sandmonkey asks Habib an uncomfortable question about the Brotherhood's relationship with the Council on American Islamic Relations, and you can practically see Habib squirm right on the printed page. "Ehh, this is a sensitive subject, and it’s kind of problematic, especially after 9/11," he says.
Why is it a "sensitive subject"? Why is it "kind of problematic"? Partly because the Muslim Brotherhood is on record as wanting to do more, much more, in the United States than simply "spread a positive image of Islam along with its values, culture, history and teachings." The Brotherhood is engaged, in its own words, in "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 Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
Is CAIR engaged in this effort? Is it trying to sabotage and destroy Western civilization so that "Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions" here in the U.S.? Is it working in tandem with other Brotherhood entities to accomplish this?
And above all: why isn't there a single reporter in the entire United States who will ask Ibrahim Hooper or Ahmed Rehab or Corey Saylor or anyone at CAIR these questions?
From "An Interview with Muslim Brotherhood’s #2, Mohammed Habib," by Sandmonkey at Pajamas Media, August 24 (thanks to all who sent this in):
SM: Is there a Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.?Mohamed Habib: I would say yes. There are Muslim Brotherhood members there.
SM: Then what are they doing there?
Mohamed Habib: No, there are already existing institutions; there are laws and a constitution that they operate under in order to have a role in serving the American society. They are part of the American society and they want to an active positive role in it, and a part of that is to spread a positive image of Islam along with its values, culture, history and teachings.
SM: This is naturally very important. Who represents you in the US?
Mohamed Habib: Well, there are there those who do represent us, who do that role.
SM: But it’s not CAIR, right? The Council for American Islamic Relations? Many people say that they are your front. Other people say that its ISNA. But back to CAIR, some people from the Muslim Brotherhood have denied having a connection with CAIR. Do they really represent you?
Mohamed Habib: Ehh, this is a sensitive subject, and it’s kind of problematic, especially after 9/11 …
SM: For them to say that there is a relationship between you two?
Mohamed Habib: Yes. You can say that.
SM: Gotcha. What kind of relationship does the Muslim Brotherhood have with Hamas? Do you offer them support of any kind?
Mohamed Habib: Hamas, like any Muslim Brotherhood entity, is not related to the other entities. But we do support them. We support them with ideas. We support them with advice and vision. We incite the people — in Egypt for example — to donate money and care and understand about the Palestinian cause. Then the civil society institutions carry out the role of facilitators of our support.
SM: Thank you for your time sir.
Mohamed Habib: Thank you.
It's creepy seeing this advocate of mass murder sitting at a desk in Western garb, with Western gadgets, looking every bit a benign computer scientist. Sort of like Adolf Eichmann; just a boring bureaucrat managing the Holocaust.
All the muslim brotherhood wear western clothes. Many are dressed in well tailored suits and jackets and all wear expensive loafers. It's their 'look.' When they appear in public with an imam who's dressed in mideastern garb, they soothe the westerners by presenting a familiar image that says that 'we are just like you.'
The muslim brotherhood is the jihadi group we should be most concerned about for they are political animals, well educated, insidious, know our culture and are infiltrating every aspect of our society for their own use. They are extremely skilled in working the kafir for entitlements. They concentrate on jihad of speech, pen and money. Their slogan is quite telling:
Allah is our objective.
The messenger is our leader.
Quran is our law.
Jihad is our way.
Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
All muslims are brothers no matter what they say. We need to apreciate this unity which the kafir lacks. The Jihadis come well educated and fashioned now a days. With the petro dollars funding them they have swanky offices and fat pay cheques for the dirty work they do.
Come what may they will sacrifice their life for fellow muslim brothers anywhere in the world. The kafirs lack this kind of bonding and is reason enough for this lunatics to florish. Our democratic system has many loopholes that these people exploit.
"We incite the people..."
no taqiya there
Why is it I am not the least bit surprised?
Seems to me "much ado about nothing".
Habib gets stealth bombed by a loaded question, and answers basically,
"Yes, it is problematic for people to say there is a connection when there is not one."
It is sad to imply that he has some how admitted to a connection, when all he did is say that the assumption was problematic.
Then the reporter switches the attack to "Do you support Hammas?"
His answer to this one again is no admission of support...he basically says they give moral support to Hamas, and humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
Is CAIR engaged in this effort? Is it trying to sabotage and destroy Western civilization so that "Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions" here in the U.S.? Is it working in tandem with other Brotherhood entities to accomplish this?
If CAIR is not doing that, it is failing Allah.
Allah will not tolerate a failure...look what he did to Mohammad...
For a look at the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1940s, see John Roy Carlson, From Cairo to Damascus, pp. 78- 92, chapter 4, 'The Moslem (Black) Brotherhood'.
One should also read the chapter 'World of the Koran: Islam Uber Alles', which includes a subsection 'World of the Koran' in which Carlson describes an interview with the the then rector of Al-Azhar University; another section is titled 'The Arab Dream - Islam Uber Alles'.
Mohammad Habib is obviously a consummate politician. Who else could dance around questions as he did without ever saying anything substantive?
Bad company - they all stink!
