UK: Cameron pulls report on Muslim Brotherhood at last minute

Mar 18, 2015 12:33 pm By Robert Spencer

David-Cameron-001The report was likely to recommend that Britain not classify the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. This would annoy the Saudis and the Egyptians, who see the Brotherhood’s quest to establish a caliphate as a threat to their power (which is quite obviously true in regard to the Egyptian regime, which supplanted a Muslim Brotherhood government). But if they are too tough on the Brotherhood, it will annoy Qatar, which is positive toward the Brotherhood and just signed an intelligence sharing agreement with Britain. What’s a witless dhimmi Prime Minister to do?

Note also: “Britain is the command and control centre for the Brotherhood in Europe. Nowhere else comes close — that is undeniable.”

“David Cameron pulls Muslim Brotherhood report,” by George Parker, Financial Times, March 16, 2015:

David Cameron has made an eleventh-hour intervention to postpone the publication of a controversial report into the Muslim Brotherhood in an attempt to avert a potential row with Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The long-awaited report was due to be published on Monday afternoon but Mr Cameron’s move now means it is unlikely to be released before the UK general election on May 7, if at all.

It was expected to conclude that the Muslim Brotherhood should not be proscribed as a terrorist organisation, although its activities in Britain should be more transparent and kept under review.

The Brotherhood has been banned by Saudi Arabia and the UAE; some ministers say the two Gulf countries pressured Mr Cameron into setting up the investigation in the first place.

Just hours before its scheduled publication, Mr Cameron pulled the report, saying it should instead be released alongside the coalition government’s new counter-extremism strategy. Some officials in the Foreign Office had expressed concern the report could undermine Britain’s relations with key Gulf allies….

The political sensitivities of the report are considerable: ministers are aware that if it is too tough it could annoy Qatar, which has backed the Brotherhood. Qatar has also just signed an intelligence sharing agreement with the UK.

The organisation also has support from Turkey, where some Brotherhood leaders fled after a 2013 coup in Egypt ousted the Brotherhood-led government in Cairo.

Steven Merley, editor of Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch, said: “Britain is the command and control centre for the Brotherhood in Europe. Nowhere else comes close — that is undeniable.”…

    If it looks like a stinkweed, smells like a stinkweed, feels like a stinkweed, then that’s what it is…..in any language….in any country. UK’S gorgeous prime minister should stop reacting like a narcissist and get a grip on the realities of all these creepy Islamist groups. So should Mr President.

    Here we witness a British Prime Minister who is guided by the opinion and desires of foreign entities whose interests all lie at the expense of and against GB and its citizens. The foreign entities on EITHER side of the issue, that is!

    What a nightmare for Britain. This is your “leader”.

      The western leaders remind me of the Flintstones cartoon where Fred is cloned by space aliens and all the clones go around saying YABBA DABBA DOO like a bunch of robots. The islamic supremacists have all the western leaders saying Yabba Dabba Doo.

    The Muslim Brotherhood is dedicated to “destroying Western civilisation from within”.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    You should be more understanding of Cameron’s difficulty. It used to be that giving in to Islam was simple. The Muslim Brotherhood supplied the infiltrators; the Saudis supplied the cash, particularly little perks that the ruling class are used to, such as financing poorly-managed investment companies. All the government had to do was continue to allow free Muslim immigration, and unrestricted financing of subversive mosques. The Muslim Brotherhood would continue to support the party in power, the the Saudis would throw them a bit of money now and then.

    Now, it’s confusing. The Saudis have split from the Muslim Brotherhood over the obscure question of who should rule all Muslims and non-Muslims, and the British politicians are being asked to do the very last thing in the world they’re competent to do: make a choice.

    Anyway, Britain is only about 15 years ahead of the US, given that Obama’s immigration policies continue to be carried out. If Hilary is President, they will be. Not that Hilary loves Muslims as much as Obama, but she loves money even more.

      Why? The man hasn’t the first clue about Islam or its intentions for the UK – the evidence for that lies in his asinine statement that the Charlie Hebdo and kosher supermarket massacres were not Islam.

      I doubt that we’d be able to find out (we’d need a Wikileaks-type disclosure for that) about the extent to which the MB has penetrated the civil service or the Foreign or other offices in the UK government. We know that the UK political parties are ripe for that given their too-willing acceptance of the “Islam is peace” shtik.

      The wilful blindness of Cameron has proven his spinelessness too. Why would anyone want to vote his party back into power?

        Does anybody out there know of any western leaders that lreally know what islam is??? and what their goal is??? From theie actions I don’t believe they have a clue. Wonder if any muslims are trying to take over North Korea???

    It was one thing to play the Arabs off against each other in the good old empire days when they were all safely on the other side of the Med, not so comfortable now they’re in Britain in their millions.

    Both the MB and Hizb-ut-Tahrir have made it abundantly clear that their aim is to turn the whole world into 7th century Medina by fair means or foul as appropriate. To allow them free rein in Britain is traitorous. They are exactly what you would call a fifth column.

      Several general elections ago, I asked my then (Labour) MP what his government intended to do about Hizb-ut-Tahrir given its trouble-causing capability in a town near me, and given also that his government had promised to ban it after 7/7.

      Firstly, I had to spell out HuT’s agenda. I was a part-time lecturer at a London university at the time, and I told him that I was appalled at his lack of knowledge.

      That MP was not returned at that election but is planning to stand again. I can’t wait for him to call and ask me for my vote……

    How can people not deny that the muslim brotherhood isn’t a jihadist organization?

    According to founder al-Banna, “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” Therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood opposes secular tendencies of Islamic nations and wants a return to the precepts of the Qur’an. The Brotherhood firmly rejects all notions of Western influences in addition to rejecting extreme Sufism as well. Brotherhood members organize events from prayer meetings to sport clubs for socializing.

    The organization’s motto: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

    The Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Plan For America – Court Document
    http://www.clarionproject.org/Muslim_Brotherhood_Explanatory_Memorandum#

    he following is the official document from a 1991 meeting which outlines the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic goals for North America. The document was entered as evidence in the 2008 Holyland Terror Funding Trial. Federal investigators found the document in the home of Ismael Elbarasse, a founder of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, during a 2004 search. Elbarasse was a member of the Palestine Committee, which the Muslim Brotherhood had created to support Hamas in the United States.

    The original document in Arabic follows the English translation.

    We have highlighted in yellow the following quotes which are of particular significance. The page numbers noted below correspond to the page numbers in the center of the bottom of each page in the document).

    Page 4:

    “Enablement of Islam in North America, meaning: establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims’ causes domestically and globally, and which works to expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims’ efforts, presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is.”

    Page 5:

    “…the Movement must plan and struggle to obtain “the keys” and the tools of this process in carry out [sic] this grand mission as a ‘Civilization Jihadist’ responsibility.”

    Page 7:

    “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is 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…”

    “[W]e must possess a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions’, the art of ‘absorption’ and the principles of ‘cooperation.’”

    Page 18:

    “A list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends” – This is where the Muslim Brotherhood listed its front groups in the U.S.. Note that prominent organizations like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA and others are named here.

    The Muslim Brotherhood is the cradle of modern jihad. All modern Islamic terrorists have either passed through its ranks or been influenced by those who have. Its ideological ‘mastermind’ Sayed Qutb’s books have effectively been banned as ‘extremist’ terrorist literature in the UK.

    {In December 2011, Ahmed Faraz was sentenced to three years in prison in London after being convicted of disseminating a number of books, including Milestones, which were deemed to be terrorist publications under the Terrorism Act 2006. In a trial which lasted over two months, jurors heard the entirety of Qutb’s thoughts and ideas, as expressed in Milestones, to decide whether such ideas are permissible in 21st Century Britain. They ultimately concluded that they were not; Milestones has now been criminalised as a ‘terrorist publication’ and effectively banned in Britain (as it was in Egypt).}

    H o w m u c h l o n g e r c a n t h i s c h a r a d e g o o n ?

    Is there a site where we can make bets on this question?

  11. AJ Liberphile says

    Mar 18, 2015 at 3:54 pm

    PS, hope I’m not breaking any laws by quoting from that lovely book Milestones, but can anyone help me reconcile the following two passages?

    “Islam is not simply a belief, so that it is enough to simply preach it. Islam, which is a way of life, takes practical steps to organise a movement for freeing man. Other societies do not give it any opportunity to organise its followers according to its own method, and hence it is the duty of Islam to annihilate all such systems, as they are obstacles in the way of universal freedom.”

    “The orientalists [westerners] have painted a picture of Islam as a violent movement which imposed its belief upon people by the sword. These vicious orientalists know very well that this is not true, but by this method they try to distort the true motives of Islamic jihad.”

    Qa’moron is completely consistent with his treachery, dishonesty and
    dhimmitude (only on our behalf, of course) – nobody can fault him on his
    immaculate record so far. If I was Anjem Choudary, I’d be extremely happy
    with him.

    Wow, this is a tough one. Israel needs allies amongst the Arabs/Muslims to fight terror and the influence of ISIS. At the moment They have Jordan, Egypt and Arabia, the others you would not trust to buy you a loaf of bread. As we know the whole area (apart from Israel) is a tinderbox. I have no answers but I do see why Britain of all people should not exacerbate the reality on the ground.
