Has The Sec of State Endorsed The Muslim Brotherhood?

The Muslim Brotherhood’s English-speaking website is claiming that ‘US Secretary of State welcomes MB if elected by people through democratic elections.’

Digging a little deeper into the story finds that Secretary Clinton did not specifically welcome the MB:

In response to what would the reaction of the US be if the Muslim Brotherhood gained power in Egypt through a true democratic election Clinton stated that it’s up to the Egyptian people who they decide to elect and what the rules are for political parties running for elections. She added that any party that is committed to nonviolence, committed to democracy, committed to the rights of all Egyptians, whoever they are, should have the opportunity to compete for Egyptian votes.

The Secretary reinforced America’s belief that the decision on who will run Egypt should be made by Egyptians, but did opine that any non-violent party, committed to democracy and the rights off all Egyptians, should be allowed to compete.  Not exactly an endorsement of the MB.  Ms. Clinton’s caution may be well warranted.  Monday of this week, Meredith Jessup reported on Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi (Qaradawi is widely considered to be the spiritual leader of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood) issuing the following statement:

“Whoever in the Libyan army is able to shoot a bullet at Mr. Gaddafi should do so, to rid Libya of him.”

That kind of talk is oddly different from what the Muslim Brotherhood would have you believe. According to a piece posted on their English-speaking website Ikhwanweb, the MB is not a violent organization that would issue fatwas.  Their source for this theory, Muhamed ElBaradei.  Ikhwanweb’s interview with ElBaradei closed with the following:

He defended the MB confirming that the group would always reject the use of arms and would remain loyal to democracy, emphasising that the organization’s initial struggle was not religious, but completely political.

If the group would “always reject the use of arms,” one wonders how to interpret Qaradawi’s call for the Libyan army to “shoot a bullet at Mr. Gaddafi.”

    Also, are we so naive to believe that the MB or any other radical group really cares about anyone in the US government’s 2 cents worth. Again…just wondering.

      Hilary Clinton’s statement must be understood from a perspective in which it is thought that the Muslim Brotherhood is not committed to violence.

      Since she holds this view (?), her statement does not outright condemn inclusion of the MB.

      But SINCE the MB is committed to violence, their inclusion in Egyptian politics should be rejected – as their inclusion in American politics should be rejected.

      I believe that President Obama’s agenda is purely nefarious. He conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood to undermine the Mubarak government. Obama’s intentions are to divest the United States of any of its’ current allies that he deems to be allied to the American Right. As such, him being a “crypto socialist”, his agenda is to make the world safe for socialism. He is not an incompetent buffoon when you consider that he has moved that agenda quite a bit. Any other interpretation is grossly naive.

      Obama is against any alliance that strengthens the American Right and they will take it down no matter what the cost. They will burn a nation to the ground in order to destroy an alliance between American’s Right Wing and that nation.

      Obama wants a power vacuum in Egypt because he knows that the vacuum will defer to the Muslim Brotherhood.

      How does America gain if the Muslim Brotherhood accedes the power?…The “Left” gains. Obama and his administration of radicals don’t care! “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” So the Left gains and all Obama et al wants is to make the world safer for socialism. That is his only intent.

      And the Secretary of State says that the US will support any group who supports a democratic, non-violent government for Libya. That’s only controversial only if you believe Muslims are the agents of Satan. Otherwise it sound like an effort by the US to promote democracy in the world.

      “American exceptionism is a myth”
      That statement is true now, considering the damage done by the unions to “lazy-ize” the American workforce. This is the battle being fought in State legislatures now, to bring the motivation to be exceptional back into the ENTIRETY of the American workforce.
      Union: “Do as much as your brother/sister, but even if you don’t, get paid the same”.
      Private sector: ” Work hard and achieve better pay and benifits. Laze, and you are gone”

      Laziness makes me want to vomit, but condoned laziness makes me angry. After I vomit.
      American exceptionalism will only return when collective bargaining is dismantled, stripped and is used only to protect workers from bad working conditions. The free market will handle the rest. I work in a non-union resteraunt, and if I don’t like how much i am paid there, then i pack my sheite and find a better place to work. Eventually, if that happens, the bad workplace has only idiots working for them, bringing down the quality of their product, and they close. Whereas my talent goes to a more beneficial workplace where i thrive, they see the talent and pay accordingly. This is a concept lost on all you hard core union opinionated people because you have never seen it in action. I may as well post that theory in a comic book. There is no teaching you all about how a free market works, because you believe it to be myth.
      Sad to be you. I think you are about to be handed a lesson VERY soon, that performance is your ONLY form of job security, and to succeed, you must produce, and when you do, either you have an employer who will reward you, or if you don’t, you sell your skills to those who appreciate and reward performance.
