THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SPAWNED AL-QAEDA



Any news article you read concerning the violence in Egypt that fails to even mention the targeting of Christians and the burning of their churches should be read with a great deal of skepticism.  The Establishment Media wants to portray the Islamofascists of the Muslim Brotherhood as peaceful protesters who are only motivated by disappointment that "Democratically-elected" Mohamed Morsi was overthrown.  I suspect that if Adolf Hitler had been overthrown in 1934, members of the Nazi Party would have protested it in a similar manner.  

It's time for the media lackeys of the West to start reporting the situation in Egypt honestly.  Likewise, it's well past time for clueless RINO elitists like John McCain to stop misrepresenting Egypt's reality. 

Meeting the Muslim Brotherhood
(Excerpt from The Brotherhood: America's Next Great Enemy by Erick Stakelbeck)
The Egyptian government under Hosni Mubarak also maintained that el-Zayat belonged to the Brotherhood. In 2008, it convicted him in absentia and sentenced him to ten years in prison on charges of funding the MB in Egypt (the Brotherhood was banned under Mubarak). As you might have suspected, el-Zayat's conviction was thrown out after the Mubarak regime was toppled, and he received an official pardon from Morsi in July 2012.
Member or not, el-Zayat plays a unique role in the Muslim Brotherhood's ideological universe. He's forged close connections with top global Brotherhood leaders and clearly shares and promotes the movement's worldview. Still, he, like other MB-connected individuals in the West that I've interviewed - some of whom you’ll meet in this book - disavows any sort of formal relationship with the Brotherhood.
Doing so has helped these "New Western Brothers" - as Italian terrorism expert Lorenzo Vidino calls them - largely avoid the stigma that the Muslim Brotherhood carries. Or used to carry. Indeed, the MB's much-deserved reputation for violence, radicalism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism is rapidly disappearing in the Age of Obama. The concept of engagement with the Muslim Brotherhood is no longer only whispered about at D.C. cocktail parties - it has become the official policy of the United States government.
We're nearing a point where el-Zayat and his Western cohorts may not even have to bother playing a double game anymore. The Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates are coming to power throughout the Middle East and North Africa, with the full support of Western governments - the Obama administration chief among them. In essence, the Brotherhood, which had moved in the shadows for most of its existence, has suddenly gone mainstream.
When an organization's members (and "non-members") become frequent guests at the White House and European Parliament and lead governments that receive billions in Western funding and weaponry, it's safe to say that any stigma that once existed is out the window. As a result, the day is fast approaching in Europe and the United States when allegations of membership in the Muslim Brotherhood will be greeted with a collective shrug of the shoulders by Islamists and Western officials alike.
