In “Appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood” at FrontPage today, Nonie Darwish exposes his closest Islamic adviser, Dalia Mogahed:
When President Obama spoke to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, a large portion of his guests were leaders and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The speech was designed to please them more than supporting the reformist movement in Egypt and across the Muslim world.
The Obama administration has hired the first White House Muslim advisor, Dalia Mogahed, who helped with writing Obama’s speech. Mogahed is herself an Islamic ideologue who supports Islamic Sharia and denies any connection between radical Islam and terrorism. Mogahed, who was born in Egypt, has also been a firm defender of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Both of these US groups are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
As an American of Egyptian origin myself, I can tell who is a reformist and who is a radical Muslim sympathizer, and I do not think that Ms. Mogahed’s views are in any way supportive of a reformation in Islam or of its concept of jihad. To the contrary, she denies the existence of any problem with Islamic ideology and she acts in total harmony with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. Her excuses are the same old excuses we Egyptians learned day in and day out in defense of Islamic jihad and in blaming others for misunderstanding of Islam. Her answers are always given with total confidence and conviction, as she tells her audience that any violent actions by Muslims have nothing to do with Islam. Never mind that Islamic mosques, education, art and songs all glorify jihad as a holy war for the sake of Allah.
Mogahed brings nothing new to Islamic propaganda but she certainly sounds interesting to Americans who are unfamiliar with this same old Islamic propaganda and who find it hard to question a religion. The truth about Mogahed is that she combines the good old Muslim sheikhs rhetoric with a better presentation that Americans can understand. Sheikhs never take any kind of criticism of Islam and they ridicule those who question Islam with statements like: “Who are you to speak for Islam? Leave the analysis to the experts on Islam.” Mogahed’s logic is very similar and, coincidentally, her book is entitled: “Who Speaks for Islam.” It is a meaningless title showing statistics that are designed to show that Muslims are different and are not all terrorists, which is no news.
Of course among Muslims there are good and bad people, like in any other group. What Mohahed refuses to admit is that reputable critics of Islam have nothing against Muslim people, but they correctly decipher that the problem stems from the ideology of Islam and its scriptures and commandments. What Mogahed refuses to discuss are the actual laws of Sharia, the history of jihad, the ideology and education that produced 9/11, Islamic imperialism, oppression of human rights, women and minorities. Her answers are usually simplistic, such as the argument that Sharia cannot be bad to women because the majority of Muslim women allegedly support Sharia? The bottom line of Mogahed’s propaganda is the same old complaint: that Islam is misunderstood and that Muslim people’s anger and violence is triggered by politics and not by religion. The problem with the West is all a misunderstanding, she argues, and with some education and sensitivity training the West will accept Islam as a religion of peace. Her position in the White House has given her a powerful opportunity to enhance the standing of radical Islamist groups in the eyes of our government instead of the reformists and anti-Sharia Muslims….
Corciovei Toader says
Hello, hello.
To whom it my concern.
Is anybody there who can answer to this question?
Because so far I couldn’t found somebody who can answer to my question is about Moses and Mohamed.
The followers of Mohamed claims Moses and Mohamed were prophets of Allah, but who tells the truth from these two prophets because one is against to other?
In the Holy Book it say Moses wrote to Jewish people that God told to Abraham to bring sacrifice the only son he love Isaac in that time Ishmael were in the in the wilderness with his mother.
About 600 years after Jesus Mohamed wrote to Arab people that God told to Abraham to bring Ishmael for sacrifice that is why every year the followers of Mohamed sacrifice a lamb in the memory of Ishmael, but Moses didn’t say anything to Jewish people they have to do the same in the memory of Isaac and the followers of Mohamed claim their book came from Heaven.
There is lot of proofs the Bible is Holy Book, because the Bible was inspired by God and has Ten Commandments from Heaven.
But how Mohamed book came from Heaven without Ten Commandments?
Ten Commandments are the base for everything for human kind and that what is very important for people is missed from their book.
Their book without Ten Commandments, look like a book with fairytale stories.
My question is, how these two books came from Heaven when each one has different stories and answers and how come these two prophets came from the same God they are against each other, doesn’t matter which son was for sacrifice both of them should have one answer instead there it look like two prophets from two different Gods.
When I find out who tells the truth that will be the prophet I’ll follow the other one I’ll call false prophet or lair.
I’ll appreciate if there is somebody to help me with this matter then I may know which prophet I’ll follow.
I thanks to all of you if there is anybody willing to help me.
Ted.
