Former FBI Agent: Arab Spring Made Muslim Brotherhood Stronger in the Middle East & America

CBN News’ Erick Stakelbeck has reassembled his expert panel to, once again, examine the Muslim Brotherhood’s power and influence in the Middle East and America (he first delved into the subject during a special episode of his program back in 2010).

With the Arab Spring taking the region by storm this year, Stakelbeck’s guests – former FBI special agent John Guandolo and investigative journalist Patrick Poole — sound an alarm for viewers.

Following the revolutions, both experts claim that the Brotherhood may now be stronger than ever. Glenn Beck, among others, has warned about the Brotherhood’s potential exploitation of the situation in the Middle East many times before.

The Brotherhood is already seeking a prominent role in Egyptian politics following the fall of Hosni Mubarak. Some who have been associated with the political party have even been calling for Israel to be punished.

Below, watch this intriguing episode of “Stakelbeck on Terror,” as the guests explore the elements surrounding the terrorist group’s search for power:

Also, be sure to watch Stakelbeck’s 2010 special on the the same subject (pre-Arab Spring):

      I knew who he was or I can only say that I suspected who Obama was when he was running against Hilary. I checked his voting record and he always voted against Israel until he started running for President..then he began to vote for Israel. Very telling. By being placed as the leader of the most powerful country in the world..it was pretty much a “check mate.” They win the game..which is to take Israel and to take the rest of the world. Israel was first priority. I know that you all have looked up Muslim Demographics. The end of the Free World as we know it. When you look at the liberal/Communist agenda..they have a great deal of ignorant lemmings following them. It’s going to be very interesting to say the least.

      Clinton: U.S. ‘would welcome’ dialogue with Nazi Jew Killers
      June 30, 2011|By the CNN Wire Staff
      The Obama administration is open to dialogue with Nazi Jew Killers
      “We believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to nonviolence,

      “And we welcome, therefore, dialogue with those Nazi Jew Killer members who wish to talk with us.

      But the Nazi Jew Killers said its newly formed Freedom and Justice party is not theocratic.
      “We reject the religious state,” said Mohammed Katatny, former head of the Nazi Jew Killers parliamentary bloc, in February.

    Time and time again i hear
    people speaking out against
    the mindset of wiping Israel off the map!
    Showing support for Israel!

    This arab spring muslim brotherhood movement
    gaining prominence is nothing more than an outside plan
    playing out in the middle east for the purpose of
    solidifying the caliphate movement!
    to bring about the distruction of Israel!
    It has all the fingerprints of a community organizing event! btw

    Seeing this and all that has transpired
    ask yourself this question:
    Whose map are they trying to remove Israel from anyway?
    I say it is the world map!
    If you check every map in the middle east…right now this minute
    you will see…Israel is NOT on any of those maps !
    Not once in all of these years has the muslim countries
    (surrounding Israel)
    been chastized for flaunting this!
    Did the world even take notice?
    In good conscience can you say the the palestinians
    once in all of these years as they agreed to the PEACE accords
    (time after time)
    ever did so in good faith?
    Apparently NOT…but not so you were ever informed of it (in the media)!
    How patient the Jews are
    over all these years against every evil plot they have endured!
    How can you not see their heart and their hope for a just peace
    even in the face of dishonest brokers! ?

      Doesn‘t it strike you as just the tiniest bist hypocritical when Beck’s favorite thing is to compare everyone he hates to Hitler, and then you Blazers just go on here and promote “night of long knives” style exterminations.

    Islam will never have another Caliphate. The reason is that the ‘religion’ is a divisive ‘religion’ and men will use it to gain power by exploiting the rifts between differing sects, races, tribes, and families that exist in that part of the world. Islam, or ‘submission’, is attractive to low-IQ peoples who can be united somewhat by a common envy and hatred of the West and white people. Beyond that, there is nothing to work with.

    The best strategy for the West is isolation, as Reagan did during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War. When these people are fighting each other, they are distracted from their envy and hatred of us. To fund their conflicts, they use the only resource available to them, and increase oil production. A barrel of oil at the beginning of the Iran Iraq War cost $102.26 (1980) and at the end cost $28.32 (1988).
