  1. U.S. open to a role for Islamists in new Egypt government

Muslim Brotherhood Logos



El-Baradei & National Association for Change

http://egyptelections.carnegieendowment.org/2010/09/22/national-assocation-for-change <http://egyptelections.carnegieendowment.org/2010/09/22/national-assocation-for-change>



  • The National Association for Change (NAC) is a broad
    opposition coalition pushing for pro-democracy constitutional reforms
    created by former International Atomic Energy Association head Mohammed
    ElBaradei and a close group of supporters    .

  • The association is the product of an initial meeting in February 2010 at ElBaradei’s home of approximately 30 politicians, intellectuals, activists, and other prominent figures in Egypt who identified with the renewed call for democratic reforms that the return of ElBaradei has prompted

  • The Muslim Brotherhood’s endorsement of the National
    Association for Change’s signature campaign has given the initiative a
    significant boost and engendered hopes for cooperation between
    opposition forces     with different ideological orientations in
    the 2010 elections. It has also alienated some NAC sympathizers who are
    strongly opposed to the Brotherhood.


El Baradei Quote



  • “The Muslim Brotherhood is a conservative religious group, like Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem and Evangelists in the United States.
    They are a minority in Egypt and do not have power to undermine our
    constitution, which guarantees a civil government to lead the country”,
    announced ElBaradei


El Baradei SOT (CNN, Jan 30)



  • “The Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with the Iranian model, has nothing to do with extremism…They are part of the Egyptian society, as much as the Marxist party here. I think this myth that has been perpetuated and sold by the regime has no – has no iota of reality


Rosie O’Donnell SOT (“The View,” ABC, 2006)



  • Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam (applause) in a country like America

Egyptian Activists’ Action Plan: Translated

Egypt protest leaflets distributed in Cairo give blueprint for mass action

  • The leaflet includes aerial photographs with approach routes marked and diagrams on crowd formations. Suggested “positive” slogans include “long live Egypt” and “down with the corrupt regime“. There are no signs of slogans reflecting the agenda of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood. It advises demonstrators to wear clothing such as hooded jackets, running shoes, goggles and scarves to protect against teargas, and to carry dustbin lids – to ward off baton blows and rubber bullets – first aid kits, and roses to symbolise their peaceful intentions.

  • Diagrams show how to defend against riot police and push in waves to
    break through their ranks. “The most important thing is to protect each
    other,” the leaflet says.

  • Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, accompanied by the former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn – organized an inside-outside game of political theater to bring pressure on the Mubarak regime to allow the aid for Hamas to be delivered though Egyptian checkpoints.

  • Evans and Code Pink lobbied Mubarak’s wife for assistance, as well as the U.S. embassy in Cairo. On the other hand, the group led hundreds of Western leftists in challenging the Egyptian government with boisterous street protests.

  • Code Pink was not shy about its support for Hamas. The group bragged that Hamas terrorists guaranteed their safety in Gaza. <http://biggovernment.com/taylorking/2010/01/12/hamas-terrorists-guaranteed-code-pinks-safety-in-gaza/>

  • Code Pink had also allied itself with the Muslim Brotherhood. Code
    Pink took out banner ads on the Muslim Brotherhood’s official English
    language Web site asking jihadis to “join us in cleansing our country”     <http://biggovernment.com/taylorking/2010/01/11/obama-ally-code-pink-invites-muslim-brotherhood-join-us-in-cleansing-our-country/> of so-called war criminals which included former President George W. Bush and wife Laura.

  • Ayers & Dohrn participated in the Weather Underground’s 1969
    “Days of Rage” in Chicago. Last Friday’s rioting in Egypt was also
    called “Days of Rage.” It is telling that the protests Friday in Egypt
    were dubbed by the Muslim Brotherhood, a “day of rage.” <http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Egyptian+opposition+promises+rage+today/4182700/story.html> The
    Brotherhood said its members will demonstrate “with all the national
    Egyptian forces, the Egyptian people, so that this coming Friday [today]
    will be the general day of rage for the Egyptian nation.”

  • At this year’s end, we have organized a march of nearly 1,400
    international citizens to come together and march with the families of
    Gaza on the anniversary of the terrible 22-day Israeli invasion. We know
    you share our painful feelings about the human rights violations in
    Gaza — violations which must be all the more painful for their proximity
    to you. We appeal to your compassion for those women, men and children and the conditions in which they live. The delegates on this march are bringing winter jackets for children, as well as children’s medicines and school supplies.

  • We once again ask you to intervene on our behalf. Please
    help us travel to Gaza from December 29-January 2 to deliver much-needed
    aid and to march hand-in-hand for justice and human rights for all.

GAZA FLOTILLA & MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE JEWISH CENTER FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS REPORT ON THE FLOTILLA.

YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE REPORT HERE:

http://www.jcpa.org/text/Turkey_Muslim_Brotherhood.pdf <http://www.jcpa.org/text/Turkey_Muslim_Brotherhood.pdf>

IHH Was Not Acting Alone – The Role of the Global Muslim Brotherhood Network



  • The Gaza flotilla incident brought into sharp focus an even
    more significant longterm development: the growing relationship between
    the Erdogan government and the Global Muslim Brotherhood, which has
    given rise to some of the most notorious Islamist terrorist groups –
    from al-Qaeda to Hamas.

  • Since 2006, Turkey has become a new center for the Global
    Muslim Brotherhood, while the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip acted as
    the main axis for this activity. T    he AKP allowed key elements
    of the Global Muslim Brotherhood, and above all the International Union
    of Muslim Scholars, led by Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi, to operate freely on
    Turkish territory, with its active support, as witnessed by the large
    number of conferences held recently in Istanbul and sponsored and/or
    attended by Global Muslim Brotherhood leaders.

  • However, as this report demonstrates, the IHH was not acting alone
    but rather was an integral part of a Turkish Muslim Brotherhood network
    comprised of seven NGOs with strong links to each other, to the Global
    Muslim Brotherhood, and to the Turkish political establishment.

  • The Turkish/MB network has been supported by nearly the whole of the
    Global Muslim Brotherhood, whose affiliates, from a number of Middle
    Eastern countries, provided passengers for the Mavi Marmara. In
    addition, the Global Muslim Brotherhood frequently held press
    conferences and demonstrations to demonize Israel, initiated legal
    actions against Israeli leaders, and delivered aid to those in conflict
    with Israel. The Turkish/MB network played a major role in
    supporting the Gaza flotilla prior to its launching through statements
    and press conferences, and one of its most important leaders, MAZLUMDER
    Chairman Ahmet Unsal, was on board the flotilla. In the aftermath of the
    flotilla, the Turkish/MB network continued its support in more official
    statements, and at a post-flotilla event in Kuwait,     Turkish/MB
    network leader Gazi Misirli revealed that MUSIAD had played a major
    role in funding the flotilla by “coordinating” donations. In addition,
    the Turkish/MB network was in ongoing contact with Hamas leaders

  • Both men are on the board of directors of the Organizers Forum

  • The mission of the Organizers Forum is: to strengthen grassroots
    organizations by increasing capacity and stability of these democratic
    structures, to link organizing networks, and to improve on the skills
    and strategies employed by both community and labor organizers.

  • The Organizers Forum plans to host its fall 2011 International Dialogue in Egypt where they will meet with labor and community organizers and other activists in Cairo

  • There are exciting changes and developments that are currently taking place in Egypt with elections
    coming soon to determine leadership transitions in what has been an
    autocratic regime, now challenged by the Muslim Brotherhood     and succession and democracy issues


Muslim Brotherhood

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1235



  • Accordingly, the Brotherhood seeks to establish an Islamic
    Caliphate spanning the entire Muslim world. It also aspires to make
    Islamic (Shari’a) law the sole basis of jurisprudence and governance.     Toward this purpose — encapsulated in the Brotherhood’s
    militant credo: “God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution,
    the Prophet is our leader, struggle is our way, and death for the sake
    of God is the highest of our aspirations”     — the Brotherhood since its founding has supported the use of armed struggle, or jihad.

  • The Brotherhood supports the waging of jihad against non-Muslim “infidels,” and has expressed support for terrorism against Israel, whose legitimacy the Brotherhood does not recognize, and against the West, particularly the United States

  • Outlawed in Egypt in 1954, the Brotherhood
    temporarily receded as a political force. It re-emerged under Anwar
    Sadat, a sympathizer of the group. Taking advantage of the Brotherhood’s
    militant aversion to secularism, Sadat sponsored it against his communist and socialist political opposition. Later, however, the
    Brotherhood joined the political Left in opposing Sadat’s peace treaty
    with Israel, believing the normalization of relations with Israel to be a
    betrayal of Islam.

  • Outside the Middle East, the Brotherhood has expanded its operations to the United States. Muslim activists affiliated with the Brotherhood have founded the Muslim Students’ Association <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6175> , the North American Islamic Trust, the Islamic Society of North America <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6178> , the American Muslim Council <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6146> , and the International Institute of Islamic Thought <https://mail.google.com/groupprofile.asp?grpid=6180> . The Brotherhood also reportedly exercises a strong influence in Muslim communities throughout Europe.


http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf <http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf>

The Brotherhood listed some 29 likeminded “organizations of our friends” seeking to realize the same goal. These included:



Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF)

http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/backgrounder_holyland.htm <http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/backgrounder_holyland.htm>



  • The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), once considered the largest Muslim charity in the U.S., has been shut down by the government for funding Hamas <http://www.adl.org/main_israel/hamas_facts.htm> .

  • On May 27, 2009, a federal judge in Dallas handed down sentences
    ranging from 15 to 65 years in prison to five of the charity’s founders
    and former fundraisers. The federal government proved to the jury that
    the defendants funneled over $12 million to Hamas after the U.S.
    government had designated it a foreign terrorist organization in 1995.

  • The Justice Department contended that HLF provided more than $12
    million to individuals and organizations linked to Hamas between 1995
    and 2001. In addition, the group reportedly raised a total of $57
    million since its incorporation in 1992, but only reported $36.2 million
    to the IRS.

  • A first trial ended in a mistrial in October 2007 when the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision on most counts.


TARIQ RAMADAN



  • Ramadan is a citizen of Switzerland

  • Ramadan’s grandfather founded the Muslim Brotherhood

  • Ramadan has been banned from entering France

  • Ramadan was banned from entering the US in 2004 due to accusations of supporting the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

  • Labels US security policy as “draconian” and “hostile to freedom”

  • Declares there is a “double standard” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

  • Often criticized as a “charlatan” who says one thing to European audiences and something else to Muslims

  • Time magazine named Tariq Ramadan one of the 100 innovators of the 21st century

Peace Professor Singled Out Jews of France, NY Sun, January 7, 2004



  • On November 14, 2003, the French newspaper Le Parisien published an
    article quoting a former French intelligence officer and investigator
    for the families of the victims of the September 11 World Trade Center
    bombing, Jean Charles-Brisard, that Mr. Ramadan was suspected by European intelligence agencies of meeting Al Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in 1991.

  • Mr. Ramadan in October published an article on an Islamic Web
    site,Oumma.com, singling out some of France’s Jewish intellectuals for
    supporting the war in Iraq and thus, he said, placing the allegiances of
    their religion ahead of their obligation as scholars.

  • In it he wrote that the analysis of French Jewish
    intellectuals was “increasingly oriented toward a community-based
    concern that tends to relativize the defense of universal principles
    like equality and justice.”



Tariq Ramadan: some call him “the most dangerous man in Europe”, others “the Martin Luther of Islam”. Just how sinister is he?

(New Statesman, June 1, 2004)



  • Most loaded of all was Ramadan’s use of the term
    “communitarian politics” as a charge against the liberal intelligentsia.
    In French, it carries with it not only an attack on the intellectual
    integrity of individuals, but also a challenge to the fundamental
    principles of the Republic.

  • Ramadan was, in other words, not only accusing Jewish intellectuals
    of Jewish self-interest but also, in an echo of the Dreyfus affair, of
    deliberately acting against the interests of the state. This is
    precisely why the level-headed and highly respected Kouchner called him “a most dangerous man”.

  • Ramadan’s response to his critics is that he does not want
    to be drawn into “a discourse of hate”. He adds that all Muslims must
    know how to rise above such predictable enemies. “There are certain
    insults which are unworthy and which we do not have to answer,” he say


Court rules Swiss authorities wrong to fire Muslim teacher who defended stoning for adultery

(AP, April 3, 2004)



  • Tariq’s brother, Hani Ramadan, was suspended from duty in
    October 2002 after he wrote an article on Muslim Shariat law for the
    French newspaper Le Monde. Besides defending stoning for adulterers, he
    also said AIDS was a form of divine retribution against sinners


http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/georgepacker/2010/04/an-evening-with-ramadan.html <http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/georgepacker/2010/04/an-evening-with-ramadan.html>



  • I cited quotations from al-Banna expressing pro-Nazi and
    anti-Semitic views; I quoted Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a follower of
    al-Banna who is a hugely popular TV preacher on Al Jazeera, expressing
    similar views. And I asked Ramadan why he had never acknowledged, let
    alone condemned, these things…

  • But he refused to acknowledge that his grandfather and the
    Muslim Brotherhood in its origins were characterized by anti-Semitic or
    totalitarian views    . It seemed clear that there was a limit to what he would allow himself to say or think, and that I had found it.


http://www.time.com/time/subscriber/2004/time100/scientists/100ramadan.html <http://www.time.com/time/subscriber/2004/time100/scientists/100ramadan.html>



  • Detractors claim that Ramadan’s messages are filled with a double language. His
    followers, they say, can decipher his words as a call to furtively
    spread fundamentalist Islam in society under the cover of modernism and
    integration.

  • Critics have denounced as anti-Semitic Ramadan’s recent critique of “Jewish French intellectual” reaction to the intifadeh.
    They were appalled when he suggested last year a “moratorium” on the
    stoning of adulterers in order to consider the legitimacy of the act    .
