During the entire Egyptian uprising, I have predicted that a post-Mubarak government will include the Muslim Brotherhood in a new governing coalition, and that the Brotherhood will work gradually to assert elements of Sharia and muscle out the other members of the coalition. Here is the first step. We'll see if the rest plays out the way I predicted as well. "Islamist moves from jail to power, and a chance to ban kissing," by David Kirkpatrick and Kareem Fahim for the Sydney Morning Herald, February 17 (thanks to Twostellas):
CAIRO: The military officers governing Egypt have convened a panel of jurists, including an outspoken Muslim Brotherhood politician, to revise the constitution in the first tangible evidence of a commitment to move the country towards democracy after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak....The biggest surprise was the inclusion of Sobhi Saleh, an Alexandria lawyer and former MP who is a prominent figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. The Mubarak government repeatedly portrayed Mr Saleh as an extremist. He has espoused views such as advocating a ban on public kissing, and was recently released from an intelligence prison.
''I am very happy because Tantawi told us to try to finish as soon as we can,'' Mr Saleh said. ''He said, 'We want to hand over the power because we are military people and we have no political aspirations.'''
His colleagues on the panel called Mr Saleh an impartial jurist. ''Sobhi Saleh is a real legal expert,'' said Hassan el-Badrawi, a judge on the panel. ''This is proof we are not excluding anybody.''...
Hussein Obama is a Muslim Brotherhood AGENT I much suspect - he needs to be investigated for treachery to the American people! The so-called people's revolution in the Mid-East and North Africa right now, have nothing to do with wanting democracy; but was organized by the Nazi-like Muslim Brotherhood to gain power through Islamic coup d'etat. I'm not supporting corrupted dictators but it's bizarre to support a revolution organized by worst element such as the Nazi-like Muslim Brotherhood. And now, these so-called “poor people of the revolution” are invading Europe as refugees in thousands within the last few days through Italy - if they have toppled the dictators, why are they invading Europe then? And the Arab/Turkish Muslim-controlled Left in the West are welcoming them especially in Germany. Thus, we can see, how the Muslim Brotherhood is organizing for global conquest and their future plan to eliminate Israel and the Jews, and Western civilization eventually. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded by an Islamic Nazi, Hassan al-Banna, still is Nazi-like, with another Islamic Nazi Qatar/Al-Jazeera based top cleric Yousuf al-Qardawi as its spiritual adviser who recently made a call to mass murder the Jews, and we're supposed to believe these evil Muslim Brotherhood's lies? The Western Left currently Europe-based beloved ‘enlightened’ Islamic thinker-apologist liar, Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan Al-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928, which is even active in diverse guises in Islamic NGOs in the West.

The Muslims, The Nazis and the Mufti of Jerusalem
Finalizing the "Final Solution"
“…Al-Banna was a devout admirer of a young Austrian writer named Adolf Hitler. His letters to Hitler were so supportive that when Hitler came to power in the 1930s he had Nazi intelligence make contact with Al-Banna to see if they could work together. Hitler had Al-banna establish a spy network for Nazi Germany throughout Arabia. Al-Banna promised Hitler that when General Rommel’s Nazi tank division arrived in Cairo and Alexandria, the Muslim Brotherhood would ensure all of the British troops would be killed….”
I'll bet Sohbi Saleh's proposed ban would only apply to kissing between a man and a woman.
No public kissing .... They'll probably make that article #1 of a new constitution. Nothing like getting one's Islamic priorities straight.

Egypt behinds a long descent into the delirium of 6th century Islam. Millions will be killed. War will break out between Israel and it's surrounding "neighbors", the jihad will be strengthened and we will face the effects of promoting a Sunni version of Iran.
As in Iran, President Obama has guessed wrong. I use "guess" because I cannot conceive of any logic or sense regarding this administration's foreign policy.
The kiss of death for Egypt. Looks like the Egyptian military is the army of Allah afterall.
It's going to be gratifying when I can tell my dimwit leftist landlord who thinks Egypt will be friendlier and better off because of the takeover..."I told you so"....
Radical Muslims’, doing God’s work, are usually not held accountable for their violent actions.

Yes—because nothing shows a "commitment to move the country towards democracy" like *banning kissing*. sarc/off
Here's a tedious—yet disturbing—article on Ikhwanweb, the Muslim Brotherhood's own website. It shows that they are all too willing to use the language of democracy and pluralism—as well as the language of Marxism, third-world grievance, and general post-modern academic verbosity—to advance the cause of Shari'ah and the Islamic Caliphate against Western freedom—or, as they call it, "American Fascism" and "slavery".
"How Rethinking Globalization Can Avert the Clash of Civilisations: Case Study of Muslim Brotherhood"
http://www.ikhwanweb.com/article.php?id=18665
Here's the view on the Muslim Brotherhood's role in Dar-al-Islam:
"[The Muslim Brotherhood] is likely to become the leading voice within the Muslim world generally by virtue of its widespread character"
and:
"Globalization and post-modernization has led to the rise of political Islam in the Muslim world. Therefore, political Islam deserves scholarly attention and not just a threat to regional stability, it deserves to be treated as a probable contender for future political rule over states with which the West must continue relations with. Among movements of political Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood (known in Arabic as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen) is considered the world’s oldest, largest, and most influential Islamist organization."
Oh, and that part about "averting the clash of civilizations"? It just posits that the West will have to get used to dealing with an every expanding, virulently hostile Caliphate.
That would be "ever expanding".
democracy is democracy...guys...let the people speak.

With all due respect, Soylent, "democracy" without the safeguard of minority and individual rights is nothing but mob rule.
