Glad you asked.

Lawrence Wright, author of the riveting and excellent The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, was interviewed about this yesterday by NPR. Here is some of what he said about Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood:

-They seem more prominent and powerful than they actually are due to the chaos in Egypt.

-They are not on good terms with Al-Qaeda.

-They have a maximum constituency in Egypt of 30%.

-They have held true to their pledge since renouncing violence.

-They were used as a scapegoat by Mubarak to spread fear (he imprisoned a professor who released a study saying MB has small constituency in Egypt and threat of Islamic state overstated).

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re writing, but the point is the army and now, apparently, the air force has let Mubarak know he no longer has his support. This is a minor change, hopefully a transition period, in which the people to whom you refer can organize real elections.

The protesters were planning to take the Presidential Palace tonight. Either Mubarak left or there was going to be a bloodbath that nobody wants. If Mubarak resigns and constitutional succession to Suleiman takes place, there is no coup. So, the “You’re a moron. It’s a military coup.” bit is, well, moronic.

I was gonna ask to see a show of hands if you think this overthrow is NOT instigated by Iran, and will follow the exact same path as did in Iran. Liberals seem to already have your hands up. At the time of the Shah’s overthrow, the same claims about democratic elections were made and we see how well that worked out.

Liberals who think this thing in Egypt will turn our well must be reminded of your poor record of predicting such things in the distant and recent past. I hope you are right, but am putting on my helmet for your being wrong.

Go back and read your history. When the Russians overthrew the Czar, there was a transitional government before the communists took over. In Iran, after the Shah was deposed, it took about nine months before Ayatollah Komehini took power. Mubarak was part of the triumverate of military officers who overthrew King Farouk- Nasser and Sadat were the others. Since Sadat’s assassination by elements of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mubarak has kept the truce with Israel and kept Egypt stable for thirty years. What will happen after Mubarak goes? We don’t know.

WHY is a GOOGLE executive the driving force behind the protests in Egypt? Doesn’t anyone else find this both odd and thought provoking? Can GOOGLE destablize governments on a whim? Hmmmmmmm…..If I were the Saudis or Jordan or any other country in the region, I’d be inclined to pay attention to how Google and Facebook were part of this overthrow of a government.

If WE go out and camp out on the Mall in DC, can we get Obama to resign?

If you don’t know, you’re doing it wrong.

Hosni Mubarak’s attitude can be summarised in his own words said to an Italian paper “If we allow full democratic elections, then the Islamic people will get power!”, hence the people of Egypt have witnessed thirty years of oppression, violence, imprisonment, suppression of dissent and dictatorial rule.

His job description, given to him by America, is to prevent Islam.

This has not been easy for him, as the people naturally inclined towards Islam. Cairo is the place of al-Azhar, where his oppression and kufr rule are exposed almost every time a book is opened.

As the West’s war against Islam became more and more clear to the Egyptian people, his cosy relationship with the Americans made his job more difficult, as he was forced to choose between pleasing the American people, or his own. When Obama came to power, he hoped that he would be his saviour, stating:

“Barack Obama has presented a fresh understanding of Islam not shown by predecessors”

“Under the past administration, there was a feeling that the Islamic world was a group of terrorists, Islam was hated and Muslims should be watched, and that the previous administration was scared of any Muslim,” Mubarak said. “But Obama came and said we will not fight Muslims and Islam. He is a sympathetic man, and says the United States will not fight Islam because Islam is a heavenly religion.”

Is he just naive or a hypocrite, or no more than a grateful servant replying to his master’s kind words?

In a BBC interview Obama described Mubarak: “he’s been a stalwart ally to the US… he’s been a force for stability and good in the region”.

To fulfil his role, Mubarak was happy to convene conferences in Cairo in 1994 which called for Western values. Among the resolutions listed in the document were the legalisation of abortion, sexual promiscuity among teenagers and single people, gay and lesbian sexual practices, sexual relationships outside marriage and marriages between couples of the same sex, men and women alike, and the discouraging of marriage at a young age.

Hosni Mubarak accepted for Cairo to be the venue of the conference, regarding this to be a great honour and a major political coup for him and for Egypt, despite the fact that his acceptance is a major sin.

Read more, a lot more if you like at khilafah.com You will see how these people think and what they want.

NBC News is reporting that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will respond to protesters demands and step down as Egypt’s leader tonight and Vice President Omar Suleiman will take over.

Now
Fox cites a senior official saying Mubarak will step down shortly and transfer authority to the Egyptian Higher Council of the Armed Forces.

The nice thing about breaking news is that half of it is usually wrong.

Mubarak to retire – NOT A SURPRISE, he’s the ONLY person on Earth with a retirement plan that’s better than that of America’s “public-service” union members – he’s got 20 – 40+ BILLION dollars of US taxpayer money stashed away.

“WHY is a GOOGLE executive the driving force behind the protests in Egypt?”

The “twitter” dust-up was really strange as well. You can bet your last doughnut the obama administration has been involved from day one.

Implausible Deniability: MSNBC’s Mitchell is Warned by Ex Muslim Brotherhood Member They Want Sharia Law The Next Day Mitchell Says Brotherhood Not Extremists

The good thing from all of this is that Republicans will win Presidency for years to come as it is now shown that Democrats have NO CLUE how to run democracy policies overseas.

The New York Times:. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/10/world/middleeast/10youth.html?_r=3

““I like the Brotherhood most, and they like me,” said Sally Moore, a 32-year-old psychiatrist, a Coptic Christian and an avowed leftist and feminist of mixed Irish-Egyptian roots. “They always have a hidden agenda, we know, and you never know when power comes how they will behave. ”

“Many in the circle, in fact, met during their university days. Islam Lotfi, a lawyer who is a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Youth, said his group used to enlist others from the tiny leftist parties to stand with them in calling for civil liberties, to make their cause seem more universal. Many are now allies in the revolt, including Zyad el-Elaimy, a 30-year-old lawyer who was then the leader of a communist group. ”

Leftists, Feminists, Communists, and the Muslim Brotherhood working together. Where did I hear that recently?

Oh yeah. http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/02/10/nyt-to-glenn-happy-birthday/

Oh and Obama better not say A WORD.

Mr. B, everyone knows that Beck is a crazy lunatic! Stop trying to prove him right with the oh so conservative leaning New York Times!

One ex-member of the Muslim Brotherhood and one feminist hardly proves anything definitively. Please, take 25 minutes to listen to Lawrence Wright’s NPR interview. The man is very well-versed in al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

That isn’t it at all Michelle. Not even close. It’s not that simple. I am not insisting that people believe my evidence and ignore Beck’s. I am saying Beck is hardly the only person out there with knowledge of the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt. There are others worth listening to on the subject.

72% voter turnout with 95% in some districts. That is more than here in the USA.

I’m not saying he is the only person with knowledge on the MB, but you do dismiss any evidence that is posted even if it’s from the NYT’s, if it doesn’t agree with your conclusion. At least it appears that you do.

So it has been a smashing overnight success with no hiccups at all?! Wow. Amazing!

Claims of religious intolerance and Islamophobia are an attempt by radical Islam to mislead the world about the true nature of their purposes… The more that groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood can keep people in the dark, the better chance they have of advancing their agenda, which is the imposition of Sharia law, the re-establishment of the Islamic caliphate and Muslim domination throughout the world!
Sadly, the Obama administration would help them do this. In Oct. 2009, they actually cosponsored a similar measure with Egypt…
Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have an excellent book out called “The Post American Presidency” detailing this administrations helping of radical Islamic groups… Excellent book and well documented!!!
For those wishing to know more about the threat of Sharia in this country, the Center for Security Policy has just released an in-depth analysis compiled by former prosecutors, military and intelligence analysts.
It can be found at Shariathethreat.com…

Why in the world are you defending the MB, which is an anti-gay, anti-female movement? I truly don’t get the liberal mentality. They believe in beheadings and shariah.

If you wish to let those two countries fall, then tell that to Obama. Last I checked, they weren’t completely run over by religious extremists….yet.

I don’t pretend to be 100% knowledgeable on the countries as I feel that only those with military backgrounds are the best to know, but I’m also not going to deny that the MB is a huge force in all of the countries in that region.

Who cares what someone on NPR said. Of course they can be multiple opinions on the matter. However, we have a situation where there is one main political party (the MB) with firm backing from its group members and an already setup political organization. If you can tell me another political organization that is setup as much as the MB, then we can talk. Until then, zip it.

Yes, let’s make fun of someone for not being an adult and then make fun of them. That’s the sign of the true adult.

As I said, if you can provide the name of a political organization that is as setup as the MB, then we can have a conversation. If not, then opinions are just opinions.

Given how the protests in Egypt have been sparked by the Google executive and his Facebook page and smart phones and Twitter feeds, any propaganda that the protests are an uprising of the “poor” is absurd. On $2 a day, the “poor” don’t have cell phones, internet connections, etc. It’s among the “poor” that the Muslim Brotherhood will have the most power and be able to incite the most radical elements.

I am not here to argue just to argue. If that is what you think, you could not be more wrong. I am talking and sharing viewpoints, no different than you. If you don’t want to debate with me, then don’t, no one is forcing you to respond to me.

No need for apology. I just want to make myself clear. It’s been fun so far with one exception.

RRKING recalling . My first new car was a 1955 powder blue Plymouth coupe !

Oh my gosh, mine was a 1972 Plymouth Fury III. Gold! The ugliest thing on the road, but man it was fast and fit alot of people in it!

“Mubarak To Step Down Tonight”  Well, it’s tonight in Cairo…we’re waiting!

Talk with someone else is what I meant. There are tons of opinions on this matter. I don’t care about opinions. I care about what political organizations are on the ground. It’s not only the US that is in this mess, it’s the people of Israel and the Suez Canal…..let alone other countries that think they can replicate what’s going on in Egypt.

Egypt needed Mubarak like the King needed another feather boa.

(Trying to stay on topic, King.)

Yeah, you can tell it’s a coup by the farewell address. All the best coups have them.

Actually, it’s not unheard of …. Ultimately, Cuba was a coup, and the despicable Batista gave a farewell address. Argentina has had several coups culminating with farewell addresses.

Well, that’s certainly comparing filing cabinets to codfish.

I’m sure choking on Cheetos can be excruciating.

Uhhh Obama just made this Egypt situation about the young people of America.

That whole Winning the Future sign behind him, along with the cheers and him talking about Egypt was just the weirdest looking thing.

RRKING on fashion . My last new boa was a 1978 Jesse Ventura lime green model . So I need one .

Another Cheetos reference! Stop!!! My sides!!!!!

I love Cheetos, but man they sure make a mess.

Who called for your murder? You keep repeating this as if you were Palin? My your very thin skinned .

I haven’t laughed so hard since the King sat too close to the window fan at the Casa del Fuego, and his toupee blew onto the dance floor.

WCinWI said:
Correct – It’s my understand that their constitution (the MB’s) says that they can’t take the Presidency, but when you have a country that is in chaos, can’t that then be seized through other means?

I don’t know of anything in their bylawys that precludes a member holding any political office. As for chaos, someone always comes out on top, and it’s usually the strongest.

Watch FOX for the truth!

I think James Clapper will be out of a job soon, with his recent comments today.

Haha while I’m glad the Pack won, I’m still a Bears fan. Uh oh – agreement with the President on that, but barely anything else…haha

Was that before or after he fled to the DR in the middle of the night? Got text, Kook?

HAHAHAHA!!!! I don’t care what you say, that shit’s fukking funny. I can just imagine the toupee flying over the crown lol

Those crowns he gets at Burger King just don’t have enough weight.

Is James Clapper just an idiot (he certainly was uninformed when asked about London previously) or is this what he was told to say?

Obama’s statement regarding Egypt is equating the protesters in Egypt to young people in the U.S. wanting “transformation” in OUR government! This is unbelieveable.

Reports are that Egypt’s information minister is denying that Mubarak will step down. Either way, will the anti-Mubarak demonstrators accept Suleiman as the transitional president? If so, under what conditions? If not, what are their demands?

Suleiman is being supported by the Obama administration, but he has made some questionable comments in the last few days.

I’m going to go with both. The MB is secular? Fire this fool now.

the people of egypt think it’s bad now. wait until the muslim brotherhood takes over. but, oh, that’s right…. obama said they’re a good group.

This is a total clusterf0ck right now. Excellent political theater. Whatever happens, the Egyptian people are going to get exactly what they deserve.

It is now 10PM in Egypt and he still hasnt spoken. Is he waiting til 3AM?

Maddow better hope that Obama hasnt been duped into thinking that he will resign and then he doesnt which will make him look like a totally out of touch idiot.

Gut feel is that he will step down in some sort of flavor and then army will control things.

I know money is tight for lots of people these days so I thought I would try to offer some help. These products were rated best consumer values.
