Even the Devil can quote Scripture.
Oh! Well that’s good to know. I guess we can all go back to what we were doing before and pretend that the Muslim Brotherhood didn’t just last week call for war with Israel:
A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist.
Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al-Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.”
“The people should be prepared for war against Israel,” he said, adding that the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
Jim Hoft reminds us that the former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood said: “Jihad is a personal duty incumbent upon every Muslim man and woman.”
It also never ceases to amaze how quickly progressives will invoke the term “theocracy” (in cases wherein people of faith want equal rights in public facilities) yet have no problem defending actual theocracy in other countries – a theocracy based on a faith that is infinitely harsher and more limiting than the faith cited by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence.
Egypt’s courts have repeatedly rebuffed the Brotherhood’s requests for recognition as a party on the grounds that the constitution bans parties based on religion.
It looks like the Muslim Brotherhood can forgo the image consultants. They have the media vouching for them. The result:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cautiously welcomed Sunday the Muslim Brotherhood’s involvement in political dialogue in Egypt, saying Washington would “wait and see” how talks develop.
