The Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Crisis February 5, 2011   Dear,  A short comment on what is happening in the Middle East -- We witnessed the fall of the Tunisian Government as a result of massive civil unrest and then the Lebanese government as a result of machinations of Hizbollah. Then Egypt where hundreds of thousands have protested, forcing Mubarak to announce that he will initiate a process of government transfer to a successor. Unfortunately, President Obama's statements have been widely seen in Israel as stabbing Mubarak in the back. And that is how it is being seen throughout the Middle East. Leaders in Saudi Arabia, Syria and Israel are wondering how much an alliance with the US is worth. Obama has sent a strong message around the world that their friends cannot count on the US. This is exactly what happened in Iran when the Shah fell. While neither Mubarak nor the Shah were ever known for his democratic sensiblities, they were stable pro-Western leaders. It is naive to believe that their replacements, given the most non-democratic nature of Middle East culture, would ever be democratic or liberal. The Shah was replaced by Houmeini who was heralded by liberal Iranian voices as their savior. They learned their mistake far too late and the entire world has paid the price ever since. Will the same thing happen in Egypt? It is too early to say, but the signs are not good. The Islamic Brotherhood is part of the coalition that is backing the opposition group. And the Islamic Brotherhood is the parent group of Hamas. They, together with Hizbollah in the north, are backed by Iran. We are very worried in Israel. But what worries me the most is that the leader of the most powerful country of the world doesn't seem to have a clue. Read this article below by Dore Gold to learn more. Shalom, Sondra Oster Baras Director, Israel Office CFOIC Heartland  The Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Crisis By Dore Gold ·    Will the Obama administration's policy toward Egypt be based on a perception that the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood would be extremely dangerous? Or have they taken the position - voiced in parts of the U.S. foreign policy establishment - that the Brotherhood has become moderate and can be talked to? Initial administration reactions indicate that it does not rule out Muslim Brotherhood participation in a future Egyptian coalition government. ·    Since January 28, the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement has become more prominent, with its support of Mohamed ElBaradei to lead the opposition forces against the government. In the streets of Cairo, Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators disdainfully call people like ElBaradei "donkeys of the revolution" (hamir al-thawra) - to be used and then pushed away - a scenario that sees the Muslim Brotherhood exploit ElBaradei in order to hijack the Egyptian revolution at a later stage. ·    There has been a great deal of confusion about the Muslim Brotherhood.  In the years after it was founded in 1928, it developed a "secret apparatus" that engaged in political terrorism against Egyptian Copts as well as government officials. In December 1948, the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud al-Nuqrashi Pasha. It also sought to kill Egyptian leader Abdul Nasser in October 1954. ·    Former Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammad Akef declared in 2004 his "complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America." In 2001, the Muslim Brotherhood's publication in London, Risalat al-Ikhwan, featured at the top of its cover page the slogan: "Our Mission: World Domination." This header was changed after 9/11. ·    The current Supreme Guide, Muhammad Badi', gave a sermon in September 2010 stating that "the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death, just as the enemies pursue life."
