How far will members of our congress go to attempt to show the Muslim community just how tolerant and inclusive we Americans really are? Some have called this part of the war of ideas. Some call it treason.
“The congressional delegation, headed by North Carolina Democrat David Price, held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak early Sunday before heading to Parliament to meet a group of lawmakers that included the Brotherhood's Mohammed Saad el-Katatni.” Also in the group is the one republican Jeff Fortenberry, of Neb., and democrats Nick Rahall, and Gwen Moore. After this ‘fact finding’ stop in Egypt, they will visit Lebanon, Israel and Palestine. Why the trip in the first place? Fact finding?
"I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has logic and a mission." - Muhammad Mahdi Othman 'Akef, Muslim Brotherhood movement leader.
Western ideas against Islamic ideas? More appropriately, it would be called Judeo-Christian ideas against Islamic ideas. “
Some have also called this meeting “treasonous”. But hey, these representatives of congress just want to talk and see what these folks are all about. The fuss comes about when Egypt criticizes the groups intentions when they refuse to meet with the Palestinian group Hamas, while meeting with an Egyptian banned group, The Muslim Brotherhood, that created the Palestinian group that has connections to the Iranian thug who is threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and the Iranian thug is also supporting Hamas created by the Brotherhood which is wanting to invade Europe and America. Somehow it all ties together like one big extended family.
And our congresspeople want to meet with these people and to include these peaceful folks into our ideas when these folks they are talking with have no intentions of including our ideas into their ideas.
Some information of The Muslim Brotherhood from Discover the Network. “Even as it is deemed insufficiently militant by some Islamist groups, the Brotherhood has had a discernible influence on contemporary jihadist terrorism. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the architect of 9/11, was a member of Muslim Brotherhood. More prominently still, Abdullah Azzam, a Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood preacher, was a mentor to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.”
About Hamas from the council on foreign relations.
"Hamas describes itself as "one of the wings of the Muslim Brother[hood].") As a single Arabic word rather than an acronym, "Hamas" means "zeal." Its avowed purpose is "liberating Palestine" from the Jew "oppressors," whose presence in the Middle East it considers an affront to Muslims' rightful sovereignty in the land of the Prophet Mohammad. The organization's individual co-founders were Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz al Rantisi. "
Hey folks, Whose side do you think the "moderate" Muslims will choose to be on when the push comes to shove? A Muslim by any other name must still be considered a Muslim. Unless over a period of time we see a definete separation and willingness on the part of the "moderate" group to have nothing to do with and thus resists and fights the radical terrorist group. A long period of time, one week won't get it.
Until then, congress.should stay home and get out of the way of the intelligence folks discovering and preventing fatal attacks at airports.
