    Default The latest on the Muslim Brotherhood

    I hate to keep bringing them up, but they are beginning to be a bigger threat to the region. At least Mubarak kept them in check, but thanks to the encouraged Arab Spring by our government, Israel is in danger and we are being blackmailed into giving them money.

    Some of the things out of the article.

    Any U.S. aid cut to Egypt, top MB lawmaker Essam el-Erian told the pan-Arabic al-Hayat newspaper, would violate the U.S.-brokered 1979 peace agreement with Israel.
    The Jerusalem Post quoted Erian as saying that if the U.S. cuts aid to Egypt, the MB would consider changing the terms of the peace treaty. He is warning that the U.S. should understand that “what was acceptable before the revolution is no longer.”


    “This is only the beginning of the anti-American populism/nationalism/Islamism we are going to be seeing in Egypt from now on,” Mideast expert Barry Rubin, director of the Global Research in International Affairs Center in Israel, wrote in a column Sunday.

    “What’s amazing is that nobody is pointing out that if an Egyptian government is willing to risk U.S. aid and have a confrontation on this small issue, what are they going to do regarding big issues?’ Rubin said. “What happens when the Egyptian government moves toward Islamism or helps Hamas fight Israel on some level? We have been told that fear of losing U.S. aid will constrain Egypt. But we are now seeing that this simply isn’t true.”

    I can't wait to hear what CAIR says, but I doubt this ever reaches mainstream media and no one will ever know any different or know why Egypt has attacked Israel.

    Calling for complete destruction of Israel. Now where is that democracy everyone on here thought they wanted after Pres. Obama helped take down one of the few non enemies Israel had in Mubarack.

    Raymond Stock, an American translator and academic who spent two decades in Egypt, said the clip should come as a surprise to no one.

    “This is what the Muslim Brotherhood really stands for: the extermination of Israel – and Jews everywhere – as well as the spread and control of radical Islam over the world,” he told The Jerusalem Post.

    “How anyone can fail to see this boggles the mind – yet its denial is virtual dogma in the global mainstream media, US government and Western academia today,” said Stock, who has translated a number of books by the Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian novelist Naguib

    “But we can’t rule out Mohamed Mursi yet – the Brotherhood machine is extremely formidable
