U.S. "necessarily" RECOGNIZES MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

Dear Gott in Himmel...

 

At Politico: By TIM MAK | 6/30/11

The U.S. has decided to formally resume contact with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood group - which does not recognize Israel – in a move that could further alienate some Jewish voters already skeptical of President Barack Obama, it was reported.

One senior U.S. official said the Brotherhood’s rise in political prominence after the forced departure of former President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year makes the American contact "necessary."

“The political landscape in Egypt has changed, and is changing… It is in our interests to engage with all of the parties that are competing for parliament or the presidency,” said the official, who confirmed the news to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

So who cares if the MB doesn't "recognize Israel"?  Israel doesn't expect their recognition, and Israel doesn't need it to exist or to flourish.  However, that which SHOULD be of grave concern to any U.S. official - and to Politico as well - is the

"Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group

in North America"

written by Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram and published in 1991.

It's something you just have to read yourself - in its entirety - as no quote, no excerpt, can do it justice.  Simply follow the link and scroll down past the Arabic pages; the entire text is then translated to English, and runs about 15 pages.

And if you have the time and inclination afterwards, see BtB:

For the few who are not completely done in by that point, you'll get Bonus Points if you go read my list of wishes from 2008. (I never did make them into flags. Oh well.)

I think psychiatry is clear on this: Any individual who engages in one failed suicide attempt after another will sooner or later succeed in committing suicide. In this respect, nations are just individuals writ large. With every passing day, it becomes increasingly clear that a vote for Obama in 2012 will be the expression of a national death wish. A year ago I might not have written the following sentence, but today I write it without hesitation: 2012 will be a life-or-death election. In a world where Iran is on the verge of nuclear weaponry, where Saudi Arabia is promising to nuclearize militarily if Iran does, where Pakistan with all its nukes may be on its last leg, where all of southeast Asia and the Middle East is a powder keg, where Hamas and Hezbollah are itching to dump their arsenals on Israel, where the Arab "Spring" is becoming more and more wintry -- in such a world we cannot engage in a continuing series of self-annihilatory blunders like making nice with the Muslim Brotherhood -- and expect to survive. In 2012 it will be not just America's government but America's life that is on the line.
