“… The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. …”
Surely if we could readily find information about this terror organization with roots dating back to WWII and ties to Hitler’s Third Reich, couldn’t the White House?
This is the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt as a vehicle to establish a worldwide Islamic empire governed by shariah law:
"God is our Goal. The Prophet is our leader. The Quran is our constitution. Jihad is our way. Death in the service of God is the loftiest of our wishes. God is great, God is great.”
Mohamed Morsi is an American-educated engineer who vows to stand for democracy, women's rights and peaceful relations with Israel if he wins the Egyptian presidency.
He's also an Islamist figure who has argued for barring women from the Egyptian presidency and called Israeli leaders "vampires" and "killers." One analyst describes him as an "icon" of those seeking an "extreme agenda."
Morsi, 60, faces former Air Force general and Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik in the presidential runoff election that begins Saturday... Morsi leads the Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood -- which had been the most powerful political movement in the new Egyptian government.
Morsi was also a Member of Parliament in the People's Assembly of Egypt from 2000 to 2005 and a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood—which had been the most powerful political movement in the new Egyptian government. Read full story>>
However the military has made a series of decrees that threaten to usurp the new president’s power – setting the stage for a major showdown between the remnants of the old regime who make up the ruling military council and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Still, the biggest country in the Arab world is poised to start its first experiment in Islamic democracy.
Many Egyptians are celebrating – after all, a majority of voters elected the Muslim Brotherhood’s firebrand candidate Morsi.
Other Egyptians are calling this a “black day” that will set back Egypt a hundred years.
Oh, that’s an exaggeration some Egyptians and Middle East analysts argue.
The Brotherhood will have to be answerable to future voters, they say.
Democracy will keep the group in check, they say...
This was the headline on CNN.com on June 15, 2012: Islamic presidential candidate promises democracy in Egypt. The story begins:

As things begin to return to normal following the holiday, it seemed fitting to bring our readers this 10-part course entitled "Muslim Brotherhood in America," presented by Frank Gaffney. Unlike other online courses we have brought you in the past, Muslim Brotherhood in America will not be posted on FIJ. In order to take the course you will need to go directly to by Frank Gaffney’s website: Muslim Brotherhood in America. To start you off here is the overview for Gaffney’s presentation.
A few Key Findings of this course according to the website are as follows.
This Course draws exclusively upon information in the public domain and that obtained from first-hand accounts. There is, assuredly, considerably more information that would be helpful to making to a full threat assessment. The findings on this website are based solely on what is currently available, should prompt those with access to classified information, and subpoena power and other investigative tools to bring them to bear urgently for that purpose.
Shariah is a totalitarian, brutally repressive and supremacist doctrine. Its adherents – notably, the Muslim Brotherhood – seek to bring it here to America.
Shariah is principally about power, not faith. Accordingly, acting to realize its political end of overthrowing the U.S. government is seditious and must be prosecuted not treated as protected religious practice.
The Brotherhood is not a non-violent group. Rather, in most countries where it operates including the United States, it is in a pre-violent phase.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic plan, the group’s mission in America is a “civilization-jihadist process…a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” by our hands.
The Muslim Brotherhood was helped in its efforts to achieve information dominance over the George W. Bush administration, thanks to collaboration between a top Muslim Brotherhood operative, Abdurahman Alamoudi, and anti-tax activist Grover Norquist.
In addition to al Qaeda financier Alamoudi, Norquist helped mainstream in the Bush campaign and/or administration five other Muslims with extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. They were: the Islamic Free Market Institute’s Khalid Saffuri, CAIR’s Nihad Awad, Palestinian Jihad’s Sami al-Arian, the Fiqh Council’s Muzzamil Siddiqi and Suhail Khan, a former staffer for Rep. Tom Campbell of California.
One determinant of the success of such a stealthy, pre-violent jihad is what the military calls “information dominance.” If the Muslim Brotherhood can exercise it, we can be kept ignorant of the true nature of the threat they pose – and the progress they are making in bringing Shariah to America. That has been substantially the case over the past ten years and increasingly of late. Continued>>
In this promotion for the conclusion of his documentary “Rumors of War,” Glenn Beck explains why this documentary is important - the truth you won't get anywhere else!
Rumors of War III will be available tomorrow beginning at 1200PM.
FIJ will not include the two hour discussion Beck mentioned in the promo.
“…I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles -- principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings…Now part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I'm a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.”
—Remarks by President Obama on “A NEW BEGINNING”, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009.
During the so-called “Arab Spring” many Americans first heard about the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) during the Obama Administration-supported overthrow of the Egyptian government,which created an opportunity for the MB, the most powerful political force in Egypt to "get its nose under the government tent during the power vacuum created by the ousting of the Mubarak regime. This doesn't look like there is going to be a "fairy tale progressive-style ending on this one.
After some cursory research on the MB, we can’t help but wonder whether this president and those in his administration are simply stupid or naive? This may very well may go down in history as one of the biggest foriegn policy blunders of this century, but time will tell.
