Yesterday Josh Block formerly of AIPAC, formerly of Ted Kennedy’s staff, now of the Progressive Policy Institute, (and this resume shows what a hash Zionism has made of Democratic politics) sent out a memo to editors warning that the Muslim Brotherhood is taking over Egypt with Sharia law. Some of his questions:
1. Can the Muslim Brotherhood participate in a government, where Egypt continues to fulfill Egypt’s obligations to Israel under the Camp David Accords?
2. Can the Muslim Brotherhood lead or even be part of a government that continues extensive counter-terrorism cooperation with Israel and the United States, as conducted by the last government?
4. Can the Muslim Brotherhood participate in an Egyptian government that maintains the Western-backed closure of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip?
5. Would the party sit in a coalition government with female cabinet ministers?
7. Does the Muslim Brotherhood intend to push Egyptian lawmakers to adopt Koran-based law for Egyptian Muslims and former Muslims, including mandating death for apostasy?
Also, this is from Ali Gharib:
Here’s Eli Lake’s article on a Muslim Brotherhood higher-up calling for ending the peace treaty with Israel, without ever mentioning that Egyptians just might view the peace treaty with Israel as the primary means of enabling Mubarak’s brutal repression of their country. And then there’s this little nasty bit:
“In the last week some al Qaeda affiliated websites have released messages praising the demonstrations against Mr. Mubarak.“
Right, and so have the leaders of the Islamic Republic and the Green Movement. And a whole lot of other people.
