Remorseful? Read the Muslim Brotherhood’s Statement on the Embassy Attacks

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood released a statement Wednesday regarding the massive protests at its U.S. Embassy on September 11, and the anti-Islam movie that allegedly sparked them.

Though the United States has been surprisingly supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood since it took power after the fall of former leader Hosni Mubarak in 2011, the organization is spending far more time criticizing the film and encouraging more protests, than trying to calm the fires.

The statement, made by the Brotherhood’s political arm called the “Freedom and Justice Party,” partially reads:

The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) expresses strong condemnation of the film produced and promoted by US Coptic Christian individuals, which deals serious insults to the Prophet Mohammed.

The party considers the film a racist crime and a failed attempt to provoke sectarian strife between the two elements of the nation: Muslims and Christians.

Moreover, the FJP considers this movie totally unacceptable, from the moral and religious perspectives, and finds that it excessively goes far beyond all reasonable boundaries of the freedoms of opinion and expression.

The film is certainly a blatant violation of religious sanctities, international norms and conventions on human rights which emphasize that freedom of expression with respect to religion [and] must be restricted by controls within the law that safeguard public interest, in order to protect lives, morals, rights and freedoms. [Emphasis added]

The closest the statement comes to condemning the violence is:

The FJP appeals to wise and honorable people of this country, especially the clergy in both Al-Azhar and the Church, as well as media professionals, to work hard to avoid sedition, and to expose those who instigated it, and to urgently bring them to trial, on charges of insulting heavenly religions, so that such acts are not repeated ever again.

Muslim Brotherhood Releases Statement on Egypt, Libya Embassy Attacks

Up until roughly 9 a.m. Eastern Time, the Muslim Brotherhood’s official Twitter account had re-tweeted a post about how “insulting” and “disgusting” the film was, but still made no statement of regret regarding the attack on the embassy.

“Any insulting and disgusting attitude such as this movie is not acceptable for any respectable person,” the tweet read.

After the horrifying news of the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya, where the ambassador and several others were tragically killed, the Muslim Brotherhood finally released a statement of sympathy.

“We strongly condemn deadly attack on US Emb in Benghazi & tragic loss of lives. We urge restraint as ppl peacefully protest & express anger,” they write.

The comment is a thinly veiled attempt to play both sides. While the Brotherhood is condemning the attacks in Libya and “urging restraint,” they are urging restraint as people continue to “express anger.”

Not only that, but the Muslim Brotherhood’s Secretary General Mahmud Hussein explicitly called for more protests on Friday “outside all the main mosques in all of Egypt’s provinces.”

The purpose, he said, is “to denounce offenses to religion and to the Prophet,” Al Arabiya relates.

“Islam does not censor opinions, but refuses the freedom to violate the beliefs of faith,” said a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Endowments in response to the crisis.

UPDATE:

Via The New York Times:

A spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, the mainstream Islamist group and the sponsor of Egypt’s first elected president, Mohamed Morsi, urged the United States government on Tuesday to prosecute the “madmen” behind the video, according to the English-language Web site of the state newspaper, Al Ahram.

The spokesman asked for a formal apology from the United States government and warned that events like the video were damaging Washington’s relations with the Muslim world. He also emphasized that any protests should remain peaceful and respect property.

  We don’t need to do anything. I honestly believe we are in the last days. It is telling when you see Biblical prophecy unfold on TV every night. God said clearly that he would destroy those who come against Israel. The two nations that are NOT mentioned in the Ezekiel 38 war are Egypt and Syria. They are not even in play. Who are the two nations on the news just about every day?
  
  All we have to do is wait on God.

  Obama turned his back on Israel and choose the Muslim Brotherhood instead to be his new friends. What a mistake and a slap in the face, pull our troops and embassy members out of the middle east and increase our security here at home. Stop sending funds to these nuts that hate America and all that we once stood for, I am not sure since Obama took office what America stands for now. Our young men and women are living targets to these radicals , bring our children home and put them on the borders to keep our country safe from radicals

When “protesters” and “students” attack U.S. citizens on .U.S. soil with rockets, small arms, and grenades, they become “ununiformed enemy combatants” and may be shot on sight. I suggest we give them 5 minutes to leave, then have our nearby gunships riddle the U.S property with gunfire.
The following morning, after removing any bodies to outside our gates, we can plant flowers.

“May wild dogs feast on the bodies of our enemies!”

Send more money Obama, you stinking weak bastard. Apologize for the film again, even though it has nothing to do with us. Go ahead and apologize for our very existance while you’re at it, it’s offensive to the precious effing Muslim world.

Hey Blaze … why did you change the original heading on this story.

Initially you stated the Muslim Brotherhood was calling for “peaceful protests” Ha..ha ha We all know there is nothing peaceful about what the Muslim Brotherhood represents.

Our president may be a complacent, pacifying, placating traitor but not All Americans are as blind and uninformed.

THIS is more of a result of Obama’s pro-islamic stance
ALSO the result of a perceived and in fact a weak administration with
vague,confusing foreign policies.
ALSO THEY KNOW OBA***RD IS ANTI-ISRAEL!!!

And are there human rights and freedom of expression with respect to religion for Christians in Egypt?

And NPR is running a rant focusing on Romney for releasing an ” early statement” which was not the typical, “support the president even in a campaign ” at such a time of an attack on an embassy !? The Far Left Lap Dog Media…so biased..so Obama covering..so ignorant of their duty to ensure the democratic process be functional. The Lap Dog Media : one of the major reasons we are saddled with this New Far Left Obama Crowd…disgusting..

  It won’t take long for them to take over American Cities. Muslims still have very large families six, eight or more. Americans are having one or two kids now. Do the math, a group of 100 Muslim families having eight kids equals 800 Muslims, then they have families and become 4800. 100 American families having 1.5 kids equals 150 Americans, they have families and become 225. Lets see Americans will be the minority to Muslims in less than 20 years.
  
  Welcome to Ameristsan!
  
  There needs to be a massive government deportation because their Ideology is treasonous in itself. Their actions in Dearbornistan Michigan shows it. Their home in America is a heck of a lot nicer and they are going to fight to bring their ideologies here! Why would they want to go back to block houses with no running water and dirt floors!
  
  Obama needs to be impeached!
  
  In action is the same as NO action!

The Blaze Says – “The closest the statement comes to condemning the violence is:”

“The FJP appeals to wise and honorable people of this country, especially the clergy in both Al-Azhar and the Church, as well as media professionals, to work hard to avoid sedition, and to expose those who instigated it, and to urgently bring them to trial, on charges of insulting heavenly religions, so that such acts are not repeated ever again.”

Come on, Blaze! “avoid sedition” (don’t speak out against the Brotherhood) then “expose those who instigate it” (sedition) then “bring them to trial” for “insulting heavenly religions” (Mohammed).

So much for even “coming close”…

How hard would the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda come down on the USA if we took away all of their Porno? What if we allowed the Women to drive cars or touch zucchini’s instead of chopping off your wives head’s with swords. Muhamed Morsi the Egypt Al Qaeda leader thinks the same way as Ospanking the Monkey Bin Laden feels. Oh, but Obozo has an appearance with David Letterman.
