Egypt, Western leaders & Media

* Israeli newspaper wrote that it took the US administration two weeks to understand that they should not throw away Mubarak.

*  The mainstream and left stream media have been telling us that the Muslim Brotherhood is not dangerous, not radically Islamist. Western leftists view the Brothers as have earned the right to be democratically voted into power by the people and we have no choice but to support what may turn out to be an even worse tyranny than that of Mubarak’s.

Such journalists also claim that the Egyptian people in the streets are not “political,” that they are impoverished, broken, barefoot warriors who have heroically risen up for jobs, food, and an end to corruption and tyranny. Indeed, the people may not be “political”—but their heroism may end up benefiting those who, unlike themselves, are already organized militarily, economically, and ideologically—like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Caroline Glick, reminds us that according to a June, 2010 Pew opinion survey of Egyptians:

59% said they back Islamists. Only 27% said they back modernizers. 50% of Egyptians support Hamas. 30% support Hezbollah and 20% support al Qaida. Moreover, 95% of them would welcome Islamic influence over their politics. When this preference is translated into actual government policy, it is clear that the Islam they support is the al Qaida Salafist version.

82% of Egyptians support executing adulterers by stoning, 77% support whipping and cutting the hands off thieves. 84% support executing any Muslim who changes his religion.

When given the opportunity, the crowds on the street are not shy about showing what motivates them. They attack Mubarak and his new Vice President Omar Suleiman as American puppets and Zionist agents. Protesters told CNN's Nick Robertson that the US is controlled by Israel. They hate and want to destroy Israel. That is why they hate Mubarak and Suleiman.

* From where we sit, one thing seems clear: Too many officials in the west and in Washington, both the  administration and in Congress don’t understand the Muslim Brotherhood—or don’t want to.

 *Commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades, simply to conform to the current ideology of political correctness.

"The politically correct diplomacy of American presidents throughout the generations ... is painfully naive."

Obama on Sunday called for an "orderly transition" to democracy in Egypt, stopping short of calling on Mubarak to step down, but signaling that his days may be numbered. "AMERICA HAS LOST IT"

*"Jordan and Saudi Arabia see the reactions in the West, how everyone is abandoning Mubarak, and this will have very serious implications," Ha’aretz daily [Leftist Israeli newspaper, not right wing at all] quoted one official as saying. Haaretz also wrote:  Obama had betrayed "a moderate Egyptian president who remained loyal to the United States, promoted stability and encouraged moderation."

To win popular Arab opinion, Obama was risking America's status as a superpower and reliable ally.

"Throughout Asia, Africa and South America, leaders are now looking at what is going on between Washington and Cairo. Everyone grasps the message: "America's word is worthless ... America has lost it."

*Privately, some Israeli government officials have expressed deep concern at what they view as the hypocritical abandonment by the US of a longtime ally once he seemed to be in trouble. The more likely scenario was that this would lead to an Islamist regime even worse on issues like human rights and freedom than Mubarak.

* Obama’s refusal last year to aid the pro-democracy students demonstrating in Iran against the oppression of the mullahs flies in stark contrast to his preposterous demand that President Mubarak of Egypt negotiate with the violent Egyptian street. He surely knows that behind the rioting and upheaval is a well-planned action of the Muslim .         Is Obama complicit in inflaming and supporting the enemies of the West and Judeo-Christian civilization?               Is he simply naïve beyond belief, or is there something far, far more sinister at play?

* With Obama “listen to the protesters….” we are witnessing a foreign policy gone mad. Remember the Suez Canal – the West’s lifeline – runs through Egypt. Remember Nasser in 1956 and 1967 and the Canal.

*  Israel is hated and loathed by most of the world even as it strives to seek peace with the Arab and Muslim world – a vain hope if ever there was one –

Of course, many will object the above.  To them the words are just not peaceful enough. But appeasement is in the air and it is Munich [Hitler’s  peace agreement] all over again. Despite the clearest of all warnings, there still will be those calling for “peace now” even with an implacable and demonic enemy from whom the only peace will be that of the grave.

* Israeli former Chief of staff said [on 2-5-11] that Obama should not reject Mubarak and shouldn't support the demonstrators immediately on the second day of demonstration as it only helped the demonstrators to be tougher and reject negotiation with any other authority, inside or outside Egypt.

He also said that all countries now probably won’t rely on Obama and USA, and will search for replacement  ally. Israeli leaders will decide what is good for Israel without asking for Obama approval. After any decision, Israel might ask USA to support the decision.

Israeli really understand that any agreement and relationship with any Muslim leader (including Palestinians) can be rejected by their extreme Muslim replacement.

Another Israeli former chief of staff said that Egypt main problem is the one Million additional mouse  it has to feed every year, and no one has a simple solution for it,  even not the demonstrators.

* “Egypt is the world’s largest wheat importer, beholden to foreign providers for nearly half its total food consumption [before the revolution, with Mubarak]. Half of Egyptians live on less than $2 a day. Food comprises almost half the country’s consumer price index, and much more than half of spending for the poorer half of the country. This will get worse, not better.”

*  we need to realize is that the Muslim Brotherhood operates in the United States under a variety of names and organizational umbrellas. Technically, there is no “Muslim Brotherhood” in the United States. But the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others are – according to a document captured in a raid and released by law enforcement in 2007 during the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial) – Brotherhood-linked organizations.

*  the Muslim Brotherhood’s mission in the U.S. 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 so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

*  people with ties to these organizations are involved with the Obama Administration, right? On the first day of his presidency, the President showed an eagerness to be friendly toward the Brotherhood: he chose Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA to offer a prayer at the National Cathedral during inaugural festivities on January 20, 2009. ISNA has even admitted ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, which calls itself “one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.”

*  Obama approved of a role in the next Egyptian government for the Muslim Brotherhood just as a Brotherhood leader was calling for war several days ago with the tiny Jewish state. It was telling. What better way to unify the ummah than with tried-and-true, religiously mandated Islamic anti-Semitism? For all of those quisling clowns desperately trying to scrub the Muslim Brotherhood, this declaration of war was a good hard slap in the face.

Further, it’s interesting how the Muslim Brotherhood is blaming Israel for Mubarak’s regime. They’re not blaming the $300 billion the US has pumped into Egypt. The Camp David Peace Accord (no matter how cold a peace it established) was a good thing. Now we hear that Obama’s would-be peace partners, the Muslim Brotherhood group Hamas, are going to destroy the accord. But they want peace with the Jews;

*  In June 2009, Obama appointed a Muslim, Kareem Shora, to the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Shora had been executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a group that had generally opposed anti-terror efforts since 9/11 – as have all the Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in the U.S. But more worrisome was Obama’s appointment of another Muslim, Arif Alikhan, to be Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Alikhan is affiliated with the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), which is another highly deceptive Brotherhood-linked group. These appointments were obvious attempts to show the Muslims of the United States and the world that anti-terror efforts were not anti-Islam or anti-Muslim. Shora and Alikhan would stand as moderate Muslims within the DHS, living illustrations of the iron dogma that all Muslims aside from a tiny minority were loyal Americans who abhorred Osama bin Laden and everything he stood for. But when he made the appointment, Obama didn’t notice, or didn’t care, that as deputy mayor of Los Angeles, Alikhan (who has referred to the jihad terrorist group Hizballah as a “liberation movement”) had blocked an effort by the Los Angeles Police Department to gather information about the ethnic makeup of area mosques.
