Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood seeks state based on "Islamic values serving all Egyptians regardless of colour, creed, political trend or religion"

A state based on "Islamic values" dedicated to "serving all Egyptians regardless of...religion" would relegate Egyptian Christians to dhimmi status, denying them basic rights. "Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood seeks political party status," from CNN, February 15 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood will apply to become a political party, it announced Tuesday.

The Brotherhood "envisions the establishment of a democratic, civil state that draws on universal measures of freedom and justice, with central Islamic values serving all Egyptians regardless of colour, creed, political trend or religion," it said in the statement.

Although officially illegal, the Muslim Brotherhood is regarded as one of the most organized groups in Egypt.

It has said it does not plan to run a candidate for president when elections are held to replace Hosni Mubarak, who resigned on Friday.

Evil is an equal-opportunity organization.

What an asinine statement from the Muslim Brotherhood! Islam vs freedom and justice are as compatable as matter and antimatter. They annilate each other. Islam has no power to change lives from within like the Holy Spirit of the one true God does. Islam is only an external works righteous theology that can try and keep order by malicious and murderous threats and deeds. It is a religion that "consecrates" the worst of human behavior: murder,pedophilia stealing, revenge,spousal abuse, lying and makes them acceptable to their demon god Allah Choose Islam and die, or choose Chrsit and live!

oops sorry that should be annihilate NOT annilate

Hussein Obama is a suspected Muslim Brotherhood AGENT all along - no wonder he had 10 of them invited to his Islam-bowing speech in Cairo! It dawned on me due to his strage support for the Muslim Brotherhood during the suspected Muslim-Brotherhood led Egyptian violent revolution - how scary that this suspected treacherous Islamic Trojan Horse is the President of the once great US! Muslim Brotherhood was founded by an Islamic Nazi, Hassan al-Banna, still 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, Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan Al-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928, which is still active today but in different deceiving but most dangerous guises, including in diverse Islamic NGOs in the West).See - http://www.shoaheducation.com/muslimnazi.html

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….”

This administration is going to make Hitler look like side-show Bob.

John S. I wish it was that obvious to Muslims but when you are indoctrinated from birth you really don't have a clue. Take for instance Iran. They have never known democracy as we know it so those trying to overthrow the mullahs will replace it with what? More Sharia? We'll have to wait and see. The same goes for Egypt where 70% or more want Sharia. How can they possibly call for separation between religious principles and state? Their society cannot obtain a constitutional government calling for separation between religion and state, at least not without a civil war. They cannot even begin the conversation because they look at the Quran from a fundamentalist point of view, and that point of view is dictated by their own mullahs. It is a mess. The sad part is if you look at Turkey even though they have tried to stop Sharia from infiltrating its' government the fundamentalists are slowly winning by way of creeping Sharia. The Muslim brotherhood knows what they are doing, and they take very slow deliberate steps with a concise plan, over years. They are doing it here in the U.S. We know that for sure.

Kind of like Apartheid in South Africa "served" all South Africans. Kind of like the Nazis assured the "right" of all Jews and anti-Nazis to go to the camps and to their deaths....

George Orwell ("All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.") must be spinning in his grave..

"Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood will apply to become a political party..." -- from the story

...and it will most likely be granted. We knew this would be forthcoming, so now we can go on to the next items on the agenda. The name "Muslim" Brotherhood (and their history) indicates the direction that will be taken. This will include maneuvering to ensure the new constitution is based on Islam, or at the very least is not incompatible with Shariah law. It will be some variant of the constitutions of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Malaysia or other Muslim-majority countries that enshrine Islam as being not just equal equal to other religions, but the leading, if not the outright "official," religion. There will be soothing but hollow words about freedom of conscience and the right to practice one's own faith, but Al Azhar's influence will ensure that these concepts will be interpreted in the distorted context of Islam. (cf. "Islamic values serving all Egyptians regardless of colour, creed, political trend or religion" in the headline.)

Parallel activity will include steps leading to the abrogation of the peace treaty with Israel, with a march to war likely to follow. And this will all occur with the blessings or outright complicity of the American, possibly also the European, Left.

The present period of "a new dawn" for Egypt, with its promise of "freedom" and "democracy" interpreted in whatever way one wants, will end when the cold light of day reveals that the idealism of youth, beautiful as it is, is no match for the disciplined organization of the Ikhwan -- Facebook and Twitter notwithstanding.

Perhaps when he recovers he'll come to London to keep Musharraf company.

MOSLEM BROTHERS TO FORM POLITICAL PARTY AFTER RENOUNCING THE QUEST FOR POWER

Islam is a totalitarian political faith where mosque and state are inseperably linked governing society by God's final truth and revelation: THE "HOLY" KORAN. So it came as no surprise to me to see the treacherous, lying Moslem Brotherhood within 48 short hours doing a somersault on the question of seeking political power in post-Mubarak Egypt. Indeed, what Mohammed Mursi, spokesman for the group's political bureau, said Sunday was reversed today possibly in honor of the Prophet Mohammed's birthday. After announcing Sunday that the Brothers "would not seek political power.....and the office of Presidency" Mursi shamelessly said that "The Muslim Brotherhood believes in the freedom to form parties and is therefore determined to have one." As I noted Sunday what Mursi said was pure Islamic deception. Mursi then said that the Brothers would be applying for political party status with the state.

But what was it that happened these last two days to change the group's decision not to enter the hustle and bustle of politics? A MIRACLE! Something that the Brothers hadn't anticipated or thought possible given the longstanding hostility of the secular military to their Islamist agenda. Appearently on Sunday the Brothers had cause to believe that the constitutional ban on religious groups forming political parties wouldn't be lifted; and instead of confronting the military on the matter they thought it best to publicly renounce having political ambitions and run their candidates stealthily as individuals-like they did in 2008 when they won 88 seats in parliament. But then came the game changing miracle: the eight member panel charged by the Military Supreme Council to amend the country's constitution would include none other than Sobhi Saleh, a Moslem Brother of high standing and former parliament member. It's likely that after consulting with Salah the Brothers were convinced that their big day was coming; that their organization would be legitimized after 55 years and allowed to run in the elections. If true this was a bad move by the military as it makes the Brothers' path to power that much easier.

Well well well. Newsweek, the rag we have all come to associate with the worst of Leftism and watched as its market share declined to near zero, seems to have hired a new columnist, Niall Ferguson, who actually has a brain.

http://www.newsweek.com/2011/02/13/wanted-a-grand-strategy-for-america.html

He was interviewed on MSNBC's Morning Joe and managed to run intellectual rings around the hosts and other guests

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V9sMo-LTdSc

The questions all came from co-host Mika Brzezinski, who seemed completely at a loss as to how to respond to this brazen attack on everything she believed, whole Joe Scarborough looked on in stunned silence. I'd bet they didn't realize who they had invited onto the show, and will make sure they don't make the same mistake again.

Must read article and must watch video!! And while at YouTube, browse some other of Ferguson's clips. He takes on Paul Krugman, for example. One of the reader comments following Krugman's reply to Ferguson's criticism was that his (Krugman's) ego was so large that its gravitational force could perturb the orbits of small planets. :-)

Ferguson is a Harvard historian. Maybe he'll manage to blow some badly needed fresh air through Harvard's stagnant Leftist social science programs.
