But just last week the Muslim Brotherhood's Deputy Supreme Guide said that the Brotherhood wanted to establish an Islamic state in Egypt. Whom to believe? The one whose statement matches up with everything the Brotherhood has been dedicated to doing since its founding in 1928, or the one whose statement represents a departure from all that?
"Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Outlines Political Ambitions," from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, May 1:
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the country's largest Islamic group, today announced that it will not enter a candidate in the presidential election but will contend for as many as half of the seats in parliament.The group earlier said it would contend for only one-third of parliament's 508 seats.
Mahmoud Mosri, head of the group's newly formed Freedom and Justice party, told reporters today that they are open to Muslim, Christian, and women candidates because, as he said, it is "not a religious party, not a theocratic party."
The Muslim Brotherhood is seen as one of the best-organized political parties in Egypt and its dominance has raised fears that political Islam will become a powerful force in Egyptian politics....
Oh they'll be open to women and christians alright as a veneer of respectability,and you can bet those chosen will do what they are told!
If they get half of congress in thier paws that will change quickly. They will instate an Islamic govt and then they will be opwn for business and open to women and christians only in the Quranic sense.
The MB first oversteps, realizes it, and lays in some taqiyya. Are you reassured Anderson Cooper?
"not a religious party, not a theocratic party."
I bet someone had a good laugh. But they said it, and lots of people in Europe shall nod wisely and happily compare with the Christian Democratic parties that are everywhere here.
Oh well, don't we know that the "freedom" such party is supposed to fight for is the "freedom from the 'horrors' and 'oppression' of not living under sharia"?
As crazy as it sounds, that's exactly what freedom means in black-cube-worshipping cesspools.
to the MB: Liar liar pants on fire!(so is your soul)
''Freedom'' and ''Justice'' Party ? Wow, that's sheep's clothing if 'er I saw.
. .don't sound much of a party. Thanks for the invite MB, but no thanks. Eid rather party in an abbotoir.
I notice that a lot of these 'rebels' in the various uprisings, are calling for 'freedom and democracy'...Most of them don't know what those are, but they do know the Quran and they do know the examples of Mahound...They do know Islam...And so do we, the posters on this site...So we know, that they know, that Islam and 'freedom and democracy', are incompatible...So why are they calling for it?
Could it be propaganda to influence the west to accept them and even help them? The west is always willing to help countries establish freedom and democracy, even if it means invasion and occupation...Freedom and democracy used together are magical evocations, what they evoke is large chunks of jiza, and maybe a few bombers...
Who said "There is no fun in Islam"? Islam IS FUN!
"not a religious party, not a theocratic party."
Believe it or else... the cartoon. Yep, Islam is fun because it's founder was funny.

Tut, tut, tut! C'mon, everybody knows the Qur'an mandates that liberal democracies should flourish everywhere! :))
Hello London Jim. You said,
". .don't sound much of a party. Thanks for the invite MB, but no thanks. Eid rather party in an abbotoir."
You have a wonderful sense of sarco-humour.
Ta poker, though my spelling is lousy.
London Jim:
On your remark about spelling. She's a sign of genius.
Good casting has roots that go way deep, even under tinseltown.
This is in answer to the Muslim Brotherhood's Sharia, from an earlier post on Sharia is not the way:
In a word, they lie. It's all about Sharia.
Hutch , Starsky and Huggy Bear were OathKeepers in their own special way.
Hassan Al-Banna was an unapologetic Islamic Imperialist...
"Or if they mean by "patriotism" the conquest of countries and lordship over the earth, Islam has already ordained that, and has sent out conquerors to carry out the most gracious of colonizations and the most blessed of conquests. This is what He, the almighty, says: "Fight them till there is no longer discord, and the religion is Allah‘s" [Q.2:193]."

Hello London Jim. You said this before:
"...were OathKeepers in their own special way."
That's the second time I've een you use "oathkeepers".I felt that you were talking to me in your sly and very subtle way. I juggled back and for between code and oath, the latter of which was my first choice, but I feared that someone would ask me to provide an oath. As it was, only one poster ever commented on my legacy poem to JW. But you caused me to understand,
"Obedient to The Martyr Oath unto death."
Line from my poem The Martyrs.
Thanks brother.
"not a religious party, not a theocratic party"
Same difference.
Libya is just the beginning. International bankers have recently been shying away from investing their dollars into indigenous populations that produce negative returns on investments. This is bad news for hundreds of millions in Africa and Asia whose people are dependent on investors willing to take a loss.
Semper Fi
I just heard that Osama bin Laden has been killed in a CIA operation and Obama will be addressing the AMerican people tonight to take credit. Hope it's true and I can't wait to see the worldwide muslim reaction if it is.
Can anyone figure out what Morris Wise is inferring in his cryptic posts? I sure can't but I do detect hints of conspiratorial machinations behind the scenes of the Middle Eastern upheaval. Must be the CIA, State Dept., and the usual suspects up to no good. Guess we'll have to wait for the next Wikileaks to find out unless Mr. Wise decides to get a bit more specific.
