Shocker: Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Using Mosques as Party Branches For Upcoming Elections…

I wonder if Director of National Intelligence James Clapper still thinks the Brotherhood is a “largely secular” group?

(JPost) — The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is using mosques as the headquarters of its party branches, and the organization is gradually seeking to create a Shari’a-based state, former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit warned on Tuesday, during a conference on the internet’s role in recent upheavals in the Arab world in Tel Aviv.

Shabtai, who chaired the conference held at Tel Aviv University and organized by the Tel Aviv Workshop for Science, Technology and Security, said that the Muslim Brotherhood remained the only real organized political force in Egypt, and that the current military council leading the country until elections “was a link between the old hated regime and its replacement.”

He added that the foundations of the old Mubarak regime, including the ruling party, the interior ministry, and prisons were currently being dismantled in Egypt.

“The Muslim Brotherhood could not be crushed by past regimes because of its dual identity as a religious and a political movement. Every mosque is a party branch headquarters. Every cleric at the mosque is the party branch chairman. A contribution to the mosque is a contribution to the party,” Shabtai added.

The Brotherhood was maneuvering itself through the current turmoil in Egypt skilfully, Shabtai said, adding that its immediate goal was to be a balance changer in parliament, following the upcoming parliamentary elections.

    The Socialist Left will echo, in their AGW hearts, the Islamic complaint, “It’s Bush’s fault for not paying enough Jizya tax”.

    The Caliphate is coming and there will be hell to pay. Let them that have eyes, see and those with ears, hear.

    If only the conscience of the West were not so seared it might have seen the truth and saved millions of lives.

    Will there be any real difference between the 1930′s and the 2030′s?

    Believe or not these thoughts are connected.

    Islam has always been a secular brotherhood of murderers and thieves that plagiarized a religion melding Scripture and space rocks in order to conquer the world with murder, slavery and rape.

    If things go the way they are going today with the help of Obama and his ilk we are destined for a repeat.

    On Dec. 12, 1997, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan added his own lines to a 1912 Turkish poem at a public gathering in Siirt, Eastern Anatolia:

    Mosques are our barracks,
    domes our helmets,
    minarets our bayonets,
    believers our soldiers.
    This holy army guards my religion.

    Rob, you’ve said for a while to keep an eye on Turkey, and you were right. They are up to a lot of no good.

    Muslim Brotherhood = a main part Communist-Islam alliance.

    But Obama and Hillary said the MB was not interested in electoral politics and would sit this out. And they’re suppppperrrrr smarrrtt and couldn’t be outthought by the likes of those “knuckle crawlers”, Sarah Palin or Sean Hannity. So we must assume, given the genius of Obama’s foreign policy, that the MB statements are either disinformation from the Zionist horde to estrange us from our muslim brothers in Egypt, or is a clever ruse by the MB to make us think that they want, despite their prior protestations, to get involved in electoral politics, when in fact they will keep to their word and will stay out of the present electoral battles.
    I also would like to hear how liberals and progressives would rant and rave at conservatives using preachers and churches as “campaign headquarters”, but will not utter a dollop of criticism at those events allegedly occurring now in Egypt. (Note to brain dead liberals, that I am not comparing terrorists and their supporters to conservatives; I am explicating libprogs’ hypocrisy.)

    @Larry7…

    Probably the first time in my life… that I wish I wasn’t….

    That movement is picking up steam… and moving to our country

    Charlotte, Chicago, Boston, Miami, Long Island, Myrtle Beach…

    flash mobs…and riots… using social media to coordinate…

    just like the islamists/ communists did with the “Jasmine” revolutions

    Of course this is what so many here feared and knew would happen. Certainly people who see the real world, not the contrived MSM narrative, knew it would happen. However, the sheeple will have moved on to the next fad / trend / whatever to notice.

    Don’t expect MSM to report these facts, they’ll continue to report that democracy is flourishing in Egypt whilst the facist Supremacists take control of the nation. I wonder when the Brohood starts filling stadiums with women to stone publicly if the Slime Stream Liberal Media will take a bow because they helped those filthy medieval savages gain control of that Nation.
