Are you listening, Obama administration? A vitally important piece here by my friend Barry Rubin. As I showed in my recent special series on the Brotherhood (watch here and here) strategies are beginning to form outside of the Brotherhood-enabling U.S. government about how to counter the MB threat.
But time is short and getting shorter. Here’s more, from Rubin Reports:
Here we go: The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has endorsed (Arabic) (English translation by MEMRI) anti-American Jihad and pretty much every element in the al-Qaida ideology book. Since the Brotherhood is the main opposition force in Egypt and Jordan as well as the most powerful group, both politically and religiously, in the Muslim communities of Europe and North America this is pretty serious stuff.
By the way, no one can argue that he merely represents old, tired policies of the distant past because the supreme guide who said these things was elected just a few months ago. His position reflects current thinking.
Does that mean the Egyptian, Jordanian, and all the camouflaged Muslim Brotherhood fronts in Europe and North America are going to launch terrorism as one of their affiliates, Hamas, has long done? No.
But it does mean that something awaited for decades has happened: the Muslim Brotherhood is ready to move from the era of propaganda and base-building to one of revolutionary action. At least, its hundreds of thousands of followers are being given that signal. Some of them will engage in terrorist violence as individuals or forming splinter groups; others will redouble their efforts to seize control of their countries and turn them into safe areas for terrorists and instruments for war on the West.
Read it all. And pray the U.S. government gets the memo. Soon.

The link I left on my reply was about history, at a time long before the USA came into existance. In 1571 when the muslims were marching across Europe in order to take over the world.
One of the greatest sea battles ever, was the battle of Lapanto.......Most Navy people who know their History will know of it. The battle between the Christians and the Muslims.....the Christians won!
The Tea party is awake, and the people in it are awake, but millions of normal Americans are still asleep......these are the ones who doubt what it being told to them, thinking their own government would not let this happen.
I hope I have explained the word Doubt.
With Obama'sestablished --and truly despicable-- record as a professional jihad enabler there is no reason to suspect any positive developments will arise with him in power.
By the way, the Muslim Brotherhood developed and put a plan in action to destroy the USA in 1982. This was publicly revealed in 2007 at the Holy Land Foundation trial at a Dallas courtroom.
