USA's Long Cozy Connections With Muslim Brotherhood

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                 

Has anyone noticed that the USA is planning on denying Egypt their usual loan on the  grounds that they kicked out the biggest head of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi, who was elected President?  Egypt could only take him for one year and out he went.  I'm not crying about it.  The Muslim Brotherhood's Charter is the standard for Hamas; destroy Israel and kill all Jews.

What is the Muslim Brotherhood to the United States?  Do they have our same values?  Not that I can see.  Quite the opposite, if you ask me.  The only thing they can offer is money and power of the Middle East. They have their own agenda.

Back with Bill Clinton's first lady, Hillary, who was Obama's Secretary of State, we see that  her closest lady is Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner's Muslim wife.  Three of her family members are big shots in the Muslim Brotherhood such as her mother, who is prominent member of the Muslim sisterhood.    Three guesses as to Huma's allegiance lies with.  Hillary loves her like a daughter.  Huma served as an assistant-editor of an Islamist journal in 1996 when she became a White House intern.  The journal job lasted until 2008 when she became Deputy Chief of Staff for Hillary.  The journal itself was put together by her mother and other family members.  Abedin also worked as a consultant on the Clinton Foundation and didn't disclose her consulting work to the government.

The Clinton Foundation  got a large donation from the Alavi Foundation, a front for the Iranian regime who aimed to advance their point of view. " The Alavi Foundation is the successor organization to the Pahlavi Foundation, a nonprofit group used by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to advance Iran's charitable interests in America.  Most of the charity's income is from rent collected on the New York Fifth Avenue skyscraper the Piaget Building, which was built in 1978 under the Shah, who was overthrown in 1979."   They donated $30,000 in 2005.  Supposedly it was to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.  Bribes do talk in this world today.  But that was a pittance.

In 2008 the Foundation received millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.  Qatar has been a favorite of Hillary's even though it is a major supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.  On February 15, 2010, Hillary was in an official Al-Jazeera town hall interview at the Carnegie Mellon University branch campus in Qatar and was introduced by Sheikh Abdallah al-Thani.  She said she was impressed with their Qatar Foundation which is a partnership between the USA and Qatar.  Now, nothing much is wrong with that except that al-Jazeera is the station that broadcasts the religious sermons every week of Imam al-Qaradawi, a theologian of terror who also conveys the message to kill all Jews.  He's been the close associate of the ruler of Qatar, al Thani.

Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader,  calls for the Muslim world to damage the US economy by boycotting American products, incites Muslims to conquer Rome, warns the US to change their policies or face "collapse" and calls for another Holocaust against Jews by the Muslims.  His statement heard was,  "Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them (Jews).   Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one."

Egypt, who has gone back to Sadat's calling the Brotherhood a terrorist organization, which it certainly is,  just arrested Gehad (Jihad) el-Haddad.  It turns out that he was working for the William J. Clinton Foundation as its Egyptian director.  His father is Essam el-Haddad, a bigshot on the Brotherhood's Guidance Bureau. .  El-Haddad was also at the same time working with the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Freedom and Justice Party.  Then he became a member of the Steering Committee for their Renaissance Program, the plan to institute Sharia law in Egypt.  He was  also a spokesperson and media stategist for Morsi's campaign to become president.  So there has been  this very strong connection between those for the Muslim Brotherhood right in the leading chair of our government.

Who is one of the senior advisors at the Department of Homeland Security?  Mohamed Elibiary.  He was promoted to Senior Fellow on September 12 and had been a delegate for John McCain in 2008.  He's also the founder of Lone Star Intelligence LLC, and served on the DHS Countering Violent Extremism Working Group and the DHS faith-based Security and Communications Advisory Committee. He's a very active fellow.  What's the problem with him?

He praises the Muslim Brotherhood and says the US should support it.  He tells the tale that in Egypt it's a non-violent socio-political movement and that you can't call it dogmatic, violent or autocratic or dicatorial, totalitarian or jihadist.  No. He knows it in a personal manner, he says, better than the "Average White Guy, who has no more insight than what's available in the media."  He believes that it has acted responsibly, if not always effectively in the very early stages of democratic transition.    He feels that the US should partner with the Muslim Brotherhood by saying, "Our government needs to deepen our strategic engagement with MB.  He compares them to the Christian Evangelicals!  How John Hagee is going to love that comparison!  He's one evangelical that supports the Jewish state of Israel and is not a terrorist organization out to murder anyone.  Elibiary  associates with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of American and pro-Khomeini groups and spoke at their conference.  It's a hardline Islamist group who call for fatwas for the gradual establishment of sharia law in America by using deception, marital rape, jihad against Israel and banning of Muslims in joining the FBI or serving in the US military in a combat capacity.  Of course they would do that!  Remember, he's a bigwig in Homeland Security.

Obama just chose Jeh Johnson to fill the shoes of Janet Napolitano, 56, former governor of Arizona who became secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and  left in September to head the U of California.  He's been another advisor on counter-terrorism and a former official at the Pentagon.He is a New Yorker,  there on 9/11 which is his birthday.   He's been a friend of Obama for years who wants this 56 year old confirmed as soon as possible.  He doesn't come with border security credentials that Napolitano had, however.  Also, " in private life, he became a prominent Democratic fund-raiser, up through the Obama campaign, before returning to the Defense Department as its top lawyer during the president's first term."  

"   The Brotherhood remains virulently anti-Semitic. “Today the Jews are not the Israelites praised by Allah, but the descendants of the Israelites who defied His word. Allah was angry with them and turned them into monkeys and pigs….There is no doubt that the battle in which the Muslims overcome the Jews [will come]....In that battle the Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them." Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi"

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi Pals in White House

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                 

Kevin McCullough just had a video interviewing Brooke Goldstein, the CEO of Law Fare Project, telling about the man I have been most concerned about for several years who spreads hatred for Jews; Qaradawi, who the ADL calls a Theologian of Terror. He is old and must use a wheel chair but has said that he would kill a Jew with his bare hands if close enough to one.  He has a TV program from Qatar where he lives as he had been out of favor with Egypt long ago.

 His Muslim Brotherhood pals are some of the heads in the White House National Security programs.  This is appalling!  Let's not forget that Huma Abedin is working right under Hillary Clinton.  She has family ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Goldstein mentioned names such as Arif Alikhan, born in Pakistan-"Arif Alikhan" who "is currently the Deputy Executive Director for Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, and Fire/EMS at Los Angeles World Airports", Rashad Hussein, Imam Mohamed Magid, Eboo Patel;  all with important rolls in our national security, and  " Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC)."

Sheik Yusuf al Qaradawi was banned from the USA before Obama took office.  He is a big leader in the Muslim Brotherhood movement.  He's also president of IUMS (International Union of Muslim Scholars).   This is the man who has praised the Holocaust motivation and hopes to better their goals.  He just issued a fatwa (religious ruling) to back Morsi, which is of course what the Egyptians are against, more religious rules or Sharia Law governing their country.  One of Qaradawi's IUMS vice presidents is Shaikh Prof. Al Abdullah Mahfoudh bin Bayyah who just had a meeting at the White House and seems to be advising the staff on Al Qaeda.   This is actually his 2nd time to be granted an audience and sit in on meetings and adding his thoughts on poverty and the al Qaeda narrative.

This is one of our president's strategies which he even commented on in his Cairo speech.  Obama has been defending the Muslim Brotherhood since Cairo, a time when they had been outlawed in Egypt.  It's like some sort of Muslim Outreach program.  Since that time, Obama has been continuing to back radical Muslim groups.

One terrifying move that has been happening is the slow decay of our 1st amendment rights of the freedom of speech that has been noted by the Law Fare Project.  Such people as Peter King, former Republican Representative "where he drew attention in early 2011 for holding hearings on the extent of radicalization of Muslim Americans. He also sits on the Financial Services Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He stepped down after his seventh year as Homeland Security Chair because of self-imposed Republican term limits. He remains a member of the committee"  Also, Michelle Bachman, Republican Senator who "In June–July 2012, along with several other Republican legislators sent a series of letters to oversight agencies at five federal departments citing "serious security concerns" about what Bachmann has called a "deep penetration in the halls of our United States government" by the Muslim Brotherhood. They requested formal investigations into what Bachmann called "influence operations" by the Brotherhood and have spoken about such things.   They are faced with being called Islamophobics by the pundits.  The Law Fare is monitoring the use of our laws that are being used as weapons of war through lawsuits on people who dare to speak out about what is going on in Washington.  With our system of 3 powers, the President, the Senators and the higher Court of Judges, each is supposed to monitor the other.  This seems to be breaking down and one group is threatened.

Remember,  "The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights.

Attitude Toward Jews in the Turkish World

Nadene Goldfoot
Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan had been trying to curry favors with the Muslim Brotherhood by bashing Israel, but he has found that this has not gone over with the Western world. It's not a winning idea in Turkey, either.    It was Turkey who first recognized Israel as a state on April 15, 1948, so to have Turkey turn against Israel has been a sad outcome of the Arab Spring.   The flotilla disaster caused a break in a long-standing friendship between the two countries.  This was where the Turkish sponsored ship Marmara sided with the Palestinians and tried to break Israel's blockade of Gaza.

There have been Turkish citizens that are rebelling against the radical element of Islam and that are speaking up for Jews.  Sinem Tezyapar, a TV producer and host  in Turkey is a brave young lady who understands the Koran and its supplemental literature and has a beautiful understanding of it.  " She is an Executive Producer at a Turkish TV station.  She is also a political and religious commentator, columnist and peace activist.

Sinem is in a complete 180 degree opposition to people like Sheik Yusuf al- Qaradawi of Egypt, now Qatar.  He is a theologian who only speaks of terror for Jews.  Sinem's article, "New Muslim vision For Temple Mount" tells about allowing Jews and Christians at the site in Jerusalem since there are other mosques where this is allowed.

Adnan Oktar is also speaking out against such fatwas saying that Muslims are obligated to kill Jews, which Qaradawi insists upon in his speeches over Al Jazeera TV. Adnan is a nightly talk show host, which Sinem is also.  He's also making it clear that there is no source in the Koran that calls for murder of the Jews as well as no justification for it.

It's as if someone has opened a window and let in fresh air to read about these two people who know their religion and can do without any radicalism that others seem to find.  I'm glad Sinem isn't alone in her views. I wish both these people well.  May they live till 120 years.   There's hope for the world after all.  Now if only Iran will come around in their attitude before it's too late, things will really look up.  North Korea is ready (?) and has threatened  USA bases with a nuclear tipped missile and their cohorts, Iran are right behind them in readiness to attack Israel and the USA, as well.

National Prayer Breakfast:Muslim Brotherhood Present; Where's the Rabbi?

Nadene Goldfoot                                                               
The National Prayer Breakfast  that is held every year at this time is run by a conservative Christian group,  "The Fellowship"  on February 7th.   About 3,500 guests were hosted by Congress.  It was held at the Hilton Washington International Ballroom in Washington DC.  The cost was $725 per person.  Surely at that price, our deficits could have been covered.

The main speaker in this year's National Prayer Breakfast  (61st Annual NPB) was  "Dr. Ben Carson, author, neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at  John Hopkins Hospital".  He had an outstanding speech.  A black man himself,   Carson commented on several social and fiscal issues including political correctness, education, the national debt, health care and taxation. On political correctness,  Carson remarked: "The PC [Politically Correct] Police are out in force at all times ... We have to get over this sensitivity.  Some people thought he should apologize to Obama.  "The speech was magnified because Carson's views were generally interpreted to be conservative, and President Barack Obama was sitting ten feet away."

Senior Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat from New York, read from Isaiah 55:6-13.  It includes ....I will make an eternal covenant with you, the enduring kindnesses promised to David.."Schumer was born in Brooklyn, the son of Selma (née Rosen) and Abraham Schumer.  His family was Jewish,  descended from immigrants from Russia,  Poland, and Austria."  .

Another attendee there  was Sayyid Syeed, the interfaith liaison for the Islamic Society of North America.  In 2006 he had said that their job was to change the constitution of America.  Believing that, why did he attend?  This group is part of the Muslim Brotherhood, once outlawed in Egypt but now the party of Morsi who John Kerry just gave millions of dollars to with the promise of more. The Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi were assisted by the USA and continue to do so at the expense of those moderates in Egypt who are against it.   Yet back in 2007, our government said that ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism-financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation which was listed as a US Muslim Brotherhood entity.  The waters have certainly become muddy.

Syeed and ISNA were invited to this breakfast where President Obama spoke.  Syeed also addressed about 100 evangelical leaders during the Middle East/North Africa Prayer Breakfast.  Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, ISNA's Director of Community Outreach spoke there.

Another speaker was Rep. Louis Gohmert, Republican from Texas who was a congressman who wrote letters asking for investigations into the relationships between ISNA and other Brotherhood legacy groups and the US government.

After the breakfast, Syeed spoke again as the keynote speaker in Minnesota, attended by over 700 faith community leaders including the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Islamic Center of Minnesota.  Syeed then spoke at the U of St. Thomas's Muslim Christian Dialogue Center.

Syeed's preaching is echoed by Muzammil Siddiqi, part of the ISNA's board of directors.  He speaks in support of the long-term implementation of Sharia Law.  His statements included in 2001 that Muslims should participate in the democratic system to safeguard their interest and to try to bring gradual change for the right cause, the cause of truth and justice.   Why then are they wanting a change when our causes for our country should be for truth and justice?  It is that their cause for truth and justice is for their own causes which are different, like being against Israel?   He added that they must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands, and all their efforts should lead to that direction.  In other words, they are trying to establish Sharia law in our country and do away with our laws.

This happens to be a part of the Muslim Brotherhood's doctrine of gradualism.  It's a phased approach to implement Sharia-based governing.

Yousef al-Qaradawi, on the list as a terrorist and main religious leader of the Muslim Brotherhood,  preaches on al-Jazeera.   "What I am for is a genuine type of democracy, for a society driven by the laws of Sharia that is compatible with the values of freedom, human rights, justice and equity." he tells people.   This is only for Muslims, though.    Other people are called dhimmis, or 2nd class citizens.  Besides many discomforts, they have to pay more taxes than Muslims.  It doesn't include Jews as they are to all be slaughtered.

It is a great achievement for ISNA to be present at the National Prayer Breakfast and most likely feels it has achieved "the art of coalitions."   Let's be honest.  ISNA is planning on turning the USA into an Islamic country.  They've already worked their way into the White House.  The USA should be a country for all religions, but not when one is planning a takeover.  So far, Christianity is still the majority religion here.  For how long?

Muslim Brotherhood's Baddest "Supreme Guide", Mohammed Badie

                                                                                                  
Nadene Goldfoot                                                               
Mohammed Badie is the head guide of the Muslim Brotherhood and has been since January 16, 2010.  He represents the worst type of philosophy, akin to Nazism.  Even the Liberal Egyptians are wary of him.  Qaradawi seemed to be the head earlier but when the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in 1954, he had no future in Egypt so moved to Qatar in 1961 where his theological influence on Egypt continued.

This 69 year old veterinarian earned his degree in Cairo in 1965 and in the same year was arrested for his political activity in the Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed.  He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, then paroled in 1974 by Anwar al-Sadat.  He taught in various Egyptian universities.

Badie accused the Arab and Muslim regimes of avoiding confrontation with the a"Zionist entity" and the USA, and of disregarding "Allah's commandment to wage jihad for His sake with their money and lives, so that Allah's word will reign supreme and the infidels' word will be inferior.  He said that the USA is immoral and doomed to collapse, and said the PA (Abbas) sold out the Palestinian cause.  He added that the 3rd intifada was about to erupt and that "resistance is the only solution against the Zio-American arrogance and tyranny, and all we need is for the Arab and Muslim peoples to stand behind it and support it."

Badie  said that the Jews have dominated the land, spread corruption on earth, spilled the blood of believers and in their actions profaned holy places, including their own. Ah yes, Jews happen to be 0.02 % of the world population, compared to the Muslims who make up 23% of the world population. Dominate the land!  Jews couldn't even buy land in Europe, and they were forced to be dminnis (2nd class) in Muslims countries.

 Badie is  just about describing the actions of Hamas terrorists in Gaza.  He wants the Arab world to reject negotiations with Israel in favor of "Holy Jihad."  He says the Zionists only understand force, whereas it seems that that is the only thing that Hamas understands.  When it comes to the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, which is the remnant of the wall from King Solomon's Temple, he thinks that Jews praying there would result in the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.  Jews have good reason to believe that the Muslims have been destroying antiques in the Mosque from the days of being the Temple.  "In July 2007 the Muslim religious trust which administers the Mount began digging a 400-metre-long, 1.5-metre-deep trench from the northern side of the Temple Mount compound to the Dome of the Rock  in order to replace 40-year-old electric cables in the area. Israeli archaeologists accused the waqf of a deliberate act of cultural vandalism.

He should have stuck to veterinarian causes, like beating the paro-virus.  He has his facts all messed up.  Yet, why do people listen to him and follow his ideals?  Could it be that they can't read?  If you can't read, you surely can't do much on Internet, so the only resource you have of news would be al-Jazeera TV from Qatar, headed by Qaradawi.  He seems to be a cookie-cutter Qaradawi in his hatred for Israel.

Israel's literacy level for the 8 million population  out of 29 countries in the Middle East is the third highest  with illiteracy at 3% only for adults 15 years and older. The best was Armenia (Christian country, March 22, 1992 became member of UN, population 3,299,000,000) with only 1% illiterates and Azerbaijan, population 8,656,000 at 1.2%.   Egypt's population of 79,089,650  has 28% illiteracy.  Afghanistan's population of 28,395,716  has 72% illiteracy.  Qatar has 11%, but they don't count any people working there that came in from other states as citizens and so wouldn't have counted them.  Most of their population of 744,029 people are relatives and dear friends such as Qaradawi.  Other neighbors of Israel are Jordan's 5,568,565 population with 9% illiteracy, Lebanon's 4,196,453 population having 12% illiteracy and Syria's population of 22,505,000 (minus 60,000 recently killed) with a 19% illiteracy level.  Just for comparison, the USA and Canada have 99% literacy.  They claim only 1% to be illiterate. The Middle East is far behind.

Now, how many are bilingual is another story, for if they do not read or understand English, they are only getting a one-sided view of history and the world.  I was part of a program for the Israeli government to teach English, and taught in a junior high.  Many religious groups have gone into Muslim countries to teach English, which can be very dangerous for the teachers as they are accused often times and maybe rightly so, for teaching their religion as well.

Badie, just in July 2012 in his weekly sermon, stated that Israelis are "rapists" of Jerusalem, and called on all Muslim to "wage jihad with their money and their selves to free al-Quds. He disregards the Jewish history and that Jerusalem was founded by King David, a Jew in 1,000 BCE,  which means that Jerusalem and Israel and Judah are our 3,000 year old Jewish history.   In other words, another religious zealot is saying to kill Jews to take over Jerusalem.  He refers to  the creation of Israel in International Law as an  "alleged, illusory right."  Therefore, he has no regard for the UN as well.  If the Arabs refuse to recognize Israel, how can they expect Israel to recognize Palestine?  Or, how can the UN recognize Palestine when they refuse to recognize Israel?

November 22, 2012, Badie said that peace deal with Israel are a "game of grand deception."  Again, he wants force to be used as that is the only thing that Israel understands, he thinks.  He pounds in the idea that Jihad is obligatory for Muslims.  This was said the day after Morsi brokered a truce after 8 days of Israel and Hamas fighting.

To the illiterate souls who abound around Israel, Badie's words  would be like hearing the Gospel or word of G-d.  It happens to be all wrong.  Israel was created in a peaceful and legal process that took many years of meetings and more meetings.  The United Nations put it through.  It was not created out of Palestinian lands, as we know the word today "Palestinian" meaning Arabs.  Before 1948, both Jews and Arabs were Palestinians that lived in land held by the Ottoman Empire and known as "Palestine."  The Ottoman Empire Turks ruled the land for 400 years.  They lost it when they were defeated in WWI.

The Arabs who lived in Palestine considered themselves to be Syrians, not Palestinians.  There was no country of Palestine.  That was simply the name given to the land by the Romans.  They had taken Jerusalem in 70 CE.  Jews had a final revolt trying to get rid of them in 135 CE by Bar Kochba and failed.  Thus Palestine became a hateful name as it was the name of enemies of Israel and Judah.

After WWI, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq were created artificially out of the Turkish Empire by the British and French victors of WWI.  Transjordan was created out of about 80% of the Palestine Mandate which was originally designated by the League of Nations as part of the Jewish Homeland.  Then later the king called it Jordan when he seized Judah and Samaria illegally in 1948.  Two-thirds of Jordan's citizens are Palestinian Arabs, but its ruler is  Abdullah II, a Hashemite king, though he is married to a beautiful Palestinian girl, now Queen Rania,  whose parents were "Palestinians" from  Samaria's Tulkarm (West Bank) but had moved to Kuwait, where Rania was born. The family moved to Jordan in 1991.  

In 1948, the UN partition plan mandated the creation of 2 states on the remaining 20% of the Palestine Mandate:  the State of Israel for the Jews, and another state for the Arabs.  The Arabs rejected their state and instead, attacked Israel.  After starting in around 1880 and continually working , Israel was at last to become a state on May 14, 1948.

 Jews have been fighting the last 2,000 years since our separation from Judah,  anti-Semitic  discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that has historically occurred in the diaspora (outside Judah).   Israel means more to Jews than ever since the Holocaust.  The Arabs haven't given up on their ambition to drive Israel into the sea and pile up so many conditions for sitting at a peace table that they are sure to never have to worry about maintaining a state.

Badie is not popular with all of Egypt, for the opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood's most fervent chants were aimed at Badie who think he is secretly ruling Egypt.  "Down with the guide!" they yelled.  He is seen as the dark prince of a coming Islamist tyranny.  He keeps on delivering these terrible sermons and speeches to a widely illiterate listening audience.

Al Gore Gives USA Al Jazeera TV Right From Qatar

Nadene Goldfoot
Al Jazeera is the TV channel from Qatar whose main man is Qaradawi, that infamous Islamic Cleric that Mubarak had ousted from Egypt because of his radical theology.  Qatar took him in gladly, and from there he has issued fatwas against Jews.  He is old and in a wheelchair, but would kill Jews with his bare hands if he could catch one.  Qaradawi is a major figure in the Muslim Brotherhood that has spawned many terrorist groups including Hamas and Al Qaeda.

Al Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt own a low rated liberal cable station, Current TV, which enters about 42,000 households..  Al Jazeera just bought it for a reported $500 million.  Now they can broadcast to 40 million homes in the USA.  It is estimated that Gore, who owns 20% of Current TV, will make $100 million for his share.  He made the deal just before the higher income tax rates which will kick in on January 1, 2013.  "By selling Current,  Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt are giving up their vision for an alternative to MSNBC, which has much higher-rated liberal hosts."

Al Gore had consistently called himself a friend of Israel.  When it comes to money, friends flit away.  Qatar is definitely anti-Israel and Gore must realize that, but had the chutzpa to say that Current TV speaks the truth about power and provides independent and diverse points of view and tells stories that no one else is telling and that they have this in common.  That's not my opinion of Al Jazeera.  Being Jewish, any gung-ho Islamic zealot might try to take me out just because of Qaradawi's fatwa.  I should say that if this happens, my family should sue the government.  Al Jazeera does tell stories no one else tells if they are about Israel, for they do a lot of telling tales befitting the Arabian Nights in their truth.  Their stories are all slated to suit themselves.  

Al Jazeera deals with anti-Israel, anti-Jewish propaganda.  It has a long record as the chosen news outlet for Al Qaeda and other terrorist cells.  Osama bin Laden used it regularly to post videos attacking America and called for renewed acts of terror with it.  Now that it will be available in the USA, terrorists will be able to communicate with each other easier.  It will be the catalyst for jihadist terrorism.

Time Warner Cable said it will cancel its contract with Current TV so it will not have to show Al Jazeera's propaganda on its system.  This means 12.5 million homes are spared.  I thank Time Warner for leading the way to what others should do.  "With a handful of exceptions (including New York City and Washington), American cable and satellite distributors have mostly refused to carry Al Jazeera English since its inception in 2006."

"Al Jazeera's network also  broadcasted  in their  Arabic-language  in the coverage of the Iraq War and broadcasted the al Qaeda tapes, even targeting its headquarters in Bagdad during the Iraq War. Perceptions that the news organization, which is funded by Qatar's government, is anti-American.  The average household will not understand what is said in Arabic but the Muslims here surely will.

So Al Gore, now a rich hypocrite,  doesn't mind giving terrorists their opportunity to air their "diverse points of view." It looks like this Democrat is very much interested in money. Evidently being Vice President of the USA from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton didn't pay enough.  In 2001 his annual salary was $230,700 plus  $10,000 taxable expense allowance.  Fox News said that "Al-Jazeera has been criticized for having a pro-Islamist bent."  Of course, it's coming out of Qatar where  Qaradawi has his own show.  Al-Jazeera was accused of working with members of Al Qaeda.  One of their journalists was arrested in Israel in 2011 on suspicion of being an agent of Hamas.

"In a stunning development yesterday Al Gore sold his TV network, Current, to Osama bin Laden mouthpiece Al Jazeera. The Blaze TV from Glenn Beck  asked about buying Current TV   but Gore said NO,  because he wanted to sell Current to someone "aligned" with his values. Naturally, Gore felt totally comfortable with the "terror tape" network that is Al Jazeera.

Qaradawi: Moderate or Giver of Fatwas of Violence

Nadene Goldfoot
Youssef al-Qaradawi is a Muslim leader born in Egypt who was ousted due to his radical stance.  He was accepted by Qatar and given prominent importance there, where he has created a worldwide audience through the Web and a show on Al-Jazzera TV which comes from Qatar.

The leaders of the United States see him as a moderate, for that is what he projects in English while he entertains such people as Hillary Clinton on February 15, 2010.  Qatar is a tiny country with lots of money and has also become important by sponsoring teachers and materials to teach Arabic in many American schools, like Lincoln High in Portland, Oregon as well as a grade school here.

The Oregonian's article this morning ran his recent words from his Friday sermon from Doha, the capital.   "Our manner of protesting should reflect sense and reason."  What is he actually saying in Arabic?  Americans see him as competing against opposing calls that tap deeper passions like political factions and hard-line clerics across the Muslim world who are quick to try to capitalize after other perceived offenses against the faith.He has the Western world either fooled or in denial.

He is the very man who has called a fatwa against all Jews to be killed.  Though he's in a wheel chair he relishes the idea of killing Jews with his bare hands.  He's a" radical Muslim Brotherhood ideologue.  He shows consistent support of terrorist groups that seek to undermine a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."   He endorses Palestinian suicide bombings against Israeli civilians.  He calls for another Holocaust against Jews but this time at the hands of the Muslims.  It's he that's making this a religious war.  As he told his Al-Jazeera audience on January 2009, "Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them (Jews). Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one."  We don't have to check out Mohammed in the Koran.  Qaradawi makes it very plain to his audience as to what to do.

He wrote Fiqh (Jurisprudence) of Jihad (2009).  He's the man that chastises Muslims who do not observe jihad as an obligatory duty.  He tries to legitimize suicide bombing in his book or "martyrdom operations".  He says that "Zionist massacres of today" are a continuation of alleged Jewish calls to genocide in the Old Testament."  So he's getting even with Jews of almost 5,000 years ago today.

The Emir of Qatar has been responsible for keeping his name off the US list of designated terrorists. He was back in Egypt after Mubarak was imprisoned to speak to the multitude there and stir them up some more.  He is the spiritual guide for Hamas who shell Israel everyday.

As for Libya and his influence there, Gaddafi died October  20, 2011.  Qatar was the first Arab state to formally recognize the Libyan opposition Interim Transitional National Council (TNC) and is one of 2 Arab governments contributing military aircraft to coalition operations to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1973.  Qatari C-17i aircraft and Mirage fighter jets supported the coalition air operations.  Some unconfirmed reports suggest that Qatar has supplied defensive weaponry to some opposition forces.  They pledged $400-500 million to support temporary financial mechanisms planned for the TNC meeting on May 5, 2011 in Rome.  Behind the scenes will be Qaradawi giving his imput.

From Doha comes backing of Sunni Islamists in Libya, Egypt and Syria so they can replace them.  The tiny Qatar, an emirate, is playing a center-stage role in birthing a new age in politics of the Arab world.

Clinton's Aide, Huma Abedin and the Qaradawi Connection

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                          
Qaradawi
  
      Qaradawi is the head religious Muslim Brotherhood leader that had been expelled from Egypt, of all places, for his extremist views.  For instance, he has now called a fatwa to kill all Jews regardless of where they live. He himself would do so even though he's in a wheelchair; he'd use his hands, he said.  Nice guy.  He found refuge with his friend, the Emir Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, who is the absolute ruler of Qatar, and from there he broadcasts on Al-Jazeera TV, heard all over the world, even at Portland State U.  He also runs the "Union for Good", also called the "Union of Good", which is a terrorist organization under American law.  It was behind the "Peace flotilla" that tried to break Israel's blockade of Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood Palestinian branch) in 2010.

This really bothers me.  Qatar has ingratiated themselves somehow into American politics and their money is buying favoritism in infinite bushels.  They're connected to major universities, like Carnegie Mellon, and have paid for teachers in Portland to teach Arabic that do not allow visitors in the class.  I've always had visitors in  all my 50 year teaching career, but the teacher wouldn't allow me to enter the classroom.  .
                     
Qaradawi, Egyptian living in Qatar
       
Huma Abedin with Hillary Clinton
                                                                                                     
Anthony Weiner
So what has happened?  We have an "unusual" Jewish Congressman, Anthony Weiner, rather meshugena Democrat and US Rep, and I would bet a non-practicing Jew who had sent out a photo of his genitals on Twitter not too long ago, who was married to Huma Abedin, a practicing Muslim, working for Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State as an aide.  They had met through Hillary.  That is not too unusual in the United States in having a mixed religious marriage.  I myself dated a Muslim doctor from India in 1965 here in Oregon, and we had a wonderful compatible friendship.  I felt so sorry for Huma when it was broadcast about her husband's sexual weirdness.  Here she was pregnant.  What did Anthony's actions say about his values?

Huma was born in Michigan but her family moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when she was 2.  Her father, Syed Zainul Abedin, an educator, was from British India who graduated from Aligarh Muslim University and had a PhD from U of Pennsylvania and is today an associate professor of sociology of Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah.  Her mother is Siham al-Qaradawi, the daughter of Sheikh Qaradawi, the religious personage who wants to kill all Jews, probably starting with her husband!  Siham, a chemistry student from Qatar,  had a Fulbright scholarship awarded to her in 2010-2011.   Huma had returned to the USA to attend George Washington U.  She worked as an intern for the White House in 1996, assigned to Hillary Clinton.  Huma still works for her.  In 2010 Clinton remarked at the Wiener-Abedin wedding that she had only one daughter, but if she had a 2nd daughter, it would be Huma.

Now we come again to Huma and Qaradawi.  Huma's mother, Saleha, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's female group, the Muslim sisterhood.  She's an active and important member in 2 groups of the Union for Good.  She's on their Internatonal Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief-HCDR.  It's banned in Israel for supporting Hamas under the name of the Union for Good.  She's on the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child-HCWC-  She has been the head of this group for a long time since their charter was written by Sheikh Qaradawi, her father,  along with other members of the Muslim Brotherhood.  There's nothing wrong with supporting women and children in the Muslim world, but it's like having Hitler write up the agenda.

A long time ago we had a Joseph McCarthy who saw a Communist under every bush, and many innocent people were labeled and hurt by being called Communists.  That fear has bubbled over to this situation.  Those who are calling attention to the fact that Clinton has the daughter of a Muslim Brotherhood activist working for her, not to mention who is the granddauther of Qaradawi,  are the ones in trouble instead of the Muslim Brotherhood whose goal is to eradicate Israel and Jews.

We have Republican Michele Bachmann calling attention to this fact and she is being ridiculed for it.  Even McCain is afraid to draw attention to the fact that there might be a problem here.  Speaker Boehner doesn't see a Muslim Brotherhood problem, but the people calling attention to this fact.  Good grief!  Isn't it Bachmann's duty to question Abedin's loyalty, especially since she works so closely with Clinton, of all people and that Israel and Jews' lives are at stake?  This connection should certainly raise the eyebrows of Israel.  I don't even think Andrew C. McCarthy, "former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. A Republican, he is most notable for leading the 1995 terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others" .realizes the seriousness of this connection, and he spoke about it in a 90 minute talk at the National Press Club on Wednesday sponsored by the conservative Center for Security Policy.  His flip answer of "I'm a whack job, I guess," was lame when asked about why he was concerned.  Bachmann deserves better than that.  He is the author of "The Grand Jihad:  How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, " so should have known how the press would zero in on this statement.  It made the Oregonian this morning but nothing about his credentials.

8/14/12 Update: Walid Shoebat, former PLO terrorist and Muslim Brotherhood activist is spot-lighting the acts of terrorism.  Last Friday, President Obama voiced   strong support  for Huma Abedin during the Iftar dinner, saying the top aide to Secretary of State Hillary has been “nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear.”Frontpage interviewed Shoebat who had presented a 37 page paper exposing Huma Abedin that has been ignored by many.  Andrew McCarthy, prosecutor took it seriously.

Muslim Brotherhood's Goals in America with "Dawa"

Nadene Goldfoot
Obama just announced the end to the War on Terror for our country.  For me, it's the beginning of my state of intense fear for the USA. Terror is something that inspires fear.  It is a frightening aspect.   It's heralding the entrance of a power from a religion, and we're not supposed to mix religion with politics here.

Ah, but this is America.  The Muslim Brotherhood can't gain a hold here, can it?  After all, the Muslim Brotherhood's charter  only says that their goal is to turn the world into an Islamist empire.  It has chapters in 80 countries.  They wish to see America fall and tells its followers to be patient.  Why?  they feel that western democracy is corrupt, unrealistic and false.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC, is charged with coming under the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood through a Washington attorney and political activist, Suhail Khan.  He just happens to be connected with "Muslims for America." Khan's father, Mahboob Khan, was a leader of a large mosque in Santa Clara, California. He was also a founding father of the Muslim Brotherhood movement in America.  He had allowed Osama bin Laden's #2 man, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, to raise money there.

Suhail has been a consultant to The Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR.  He served on committees at the Islamic Society of North America, ISNA.  Our government now tells us that they are fronts for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.  Suhail has served as a Republican congressional aide in the late 1990, and then joined the White House staff of George W. Bush's administration as a liaison to groups including veterans.  After that he got into the Dept. of Transportation after 9/11.

The Brotherhood is extremely anti-Semitic.  They are in a rage saying that Jews today are not the Israelites of old.  They call Jews "pigs." During the 2nd World War they supported the Nazis like the Ottoman Empire to the point of carrying out violent pogroms against Jews living in Egypt in November 1945. Interesting, science has stepped up in DNA studies and finds that the major haplogroup of Jews in Israel as J1 and I, J being called the "Cohen" gene, showing that we certainly have continued on for over 4,000 years.

 They're the ones that assassinated Anwar Sadat in 1981 because he had made peace with the hated Zionists, of which I am one.  Hamas, a known terrorist organization and dictators in Gaza,  is a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.  They glorified Osama bin Laden, calling him a mujahid (heroic fighter).  They glorify martyrdom in "Palestine" and advocate violent jihad.  Their main operations are using deceptive strategy in democracies by appearing to be moderates and use the powers within and then sabotage it all.  Their plan is to replace democracy with fundamentalism of Sharia Law.

The Brotherhood refuses to commit to any Israel-Egypt peace treaty.  This is why Hamas's leader refuses to come to the peace table with Israel and instead sends its underlings.

A doctrine called "dawa," is a pre-violent form of jihad meant to get Islamizing into a a non-Muslim country.  Every Muslim activist seems to be a part of this, and the source of this information comes from no other person than  Yusuf Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who lives in Qatar.  He's the world's most influential Islamic cleric and the Emir is his mentor and friend.  Qaradawi said, "We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America, not through the sword but through dawa.  He has also called on killing all Jews everywhere and would love to do so himself with his bare hands, even though he's old and in a wheelchair.

Where we idolize George Washington for not telling a lie, the Muslim Brotherhood uses Taqiyya, an honored practice of lying for the faith, which they don't consider to be lying.  It's a part of the Shariah law and is used in infiltrating our democracy.

As I understand it, Obama was not upset with the Muslim Brotherhood taking over in Egypt since Mubarak was deposed.  Mubarak had fought against it.  So did Sadat.

Many Muslims in America say they are not terrorists, of course.  A majority are South Asians and most are Sufis, believing in harmony with the nation.  They make the mistake of thinking that the Brotherhood is good, however.

The Muslim Brotherhood goals are extreme.  They make it known that their intentions are to be violating the precepts of the USA as a power intending to take over the country and instill Sharia Law.  No other religious group has ever disrespected our platform before, coming here for religious freedom, not planning to take over and replace our religions  with theirs.  Very few people recognize this difference.

Obama has been supportive to their rise in international political power and has opened the door for them at the White House, something already started by our Republicans, sadly.  Our administration tells us that the War on Terror is at an end because the influence of al Qaeda has ended with Osama bin Laden's assassination last year under his directive.  Knowing what the Brotherhood stands for gives me the shivers, and makes me completely puzzled as to why our government would support this group, unless their goals are completely different than my hopes and dreams.

The Zionist Dream and the United Nations

Nadene Goldfoot
To Jews, Zion refers to Israel.  It's a word used 152 times in our Tanakh "Bible."  In the 10th Centery BCE it started as a reference to the 2 eastern hills in Jerusalem and then came to mean all of Jerusalem and finally, all of ancient Israel.  When pioneers made their way out of Eastern Europe in the 1800's CE to return to the land, they called themselves Zionists.  They had high hopes of creating a marvelous Utopia.  For 2,000 years Jews have prayed daily for a return to Zion. 

Way back in January 1976, the Jewish Digest came out with an article about the anti-Semitic actions of the United Nations.  They had a vote that equated Zionism with racism.  This charge could not be more absurd.  What liberation movements are equal to Zionism's moral credentials?  The General Assembly had passed Resolution 3379 on November 10, 1975. 

Zionism is more than a political movement.  It's an expression of the Jewish religious belief and hope, geared to the more important aspects of Jewish faith.  It is the liberation movement of the Jewish people in modern times.  Its thrust has been and continues to be humanitarian and egalitarian (a belief in human equality; in social, political and economic rights and priviledges.-a social philosophy  advocating the removal of inequalities among men without becoming communistic.)  This all happens to be the very opposite of racism.

In fact, people have tried to make out that our people are a race, and in their hatred against us have been racists, and we have suffered from such racism ourselvles.  Isn't that why Hitler wanted to exterminate all the Jews in the world?  To him, racially, we were inferior.   In fact, Judaism is a religion and not denied to other people who wish to join us.  It may have started with the family of Abraham and Sarah, but they were living together with unrelated people who also took Abraham's new faith and belief, and this in turn became a tribe, then a clan, and so on till the people wound up in Egypt as slaves, joined by many others from all parts of the world.  These people were given the order to live in Canaan, and that's where they do best, their gifts of creativity and thinking are multiplied there. 

No doubt the surrounding 22 Arab nations' leaders were quaking in their boots hearing about such a state in their midst.  It's a wonder that the Arab Spring took 35 years to come about and rebel against their status in life. 

Zionism became an urgent movement with the massacre of European Jewry in the Holocaust where one-third of the Jewish people were slaughtered.  The United Nations, in voting that Zionism is racism, was terribly offensive to Jewish religioius sensibilities.  One must realize that Zionism and the Jewish religious faith is inseparable.  Vilification of Zionism is an attack against the central values of the Jewish religious faith.  The attack is geared against Israel and is inspired by an anti-Jewish animus, an ancient hatred.  "It is a spiritual expression of our Jewish fidelity to the biblical covenant which links a people, their faith and a land in an indissoluble religious unity"

The old anti-Semitism denied Jews their personhood, and this new anti-Semitism denies the Jewish people their nationhood.  Basically, Communists and Arab countries have joined in this attack, either out of ignorance of the Jewish religion or out of political necessity.  Those that have only bring dishonor and shame on themselves.

Resolution 3379 was revoked December 16, 1991, and is the only resolution that has ever been revoked at the UN.  However, religious leaders of Islam, such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi, continue to revile Zionism for leading to the creation of Israel and has now called a fatah to kill all Jews everywhere.  He has a following of at least 60 million owing to his TV programs on al-Jazeera. 

The Jerusalem Post, a newspaper out of Israel, is holding their annual conference after Passover,  "Fighting for the Zionist Dream" with Meir Dagan, former head of the Mossad, whose topic is For and against bombing the nuclear reactor in Iran, Gabi Ashkenazi, former Chief of Staff of the IDF, whose topic is The Arab world; spring or fall? Prof. Alan M. Dershowitz, lawyer and defender of Israel in many books and speeches, whose topic is Why is the international media afraid of Israel? Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister of Israel from 2006-2009,  and Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to USA.  Others attending will be Steve Linde, Caroline B. Glick, David brimm, Yaakov Katz, Herb Keinon, Naomi Ragen and many others.  They will be meeting in New York.

What's This Qaradawi's Dawning of a New Islamic Caliphate?

Nadene Goldfoot
Qaradawi, 86, the Muslim Brotherhood's mentor, is crowing that thanks to the Arab Spring, they are all about to have a new Islamic Caliphate again.  This is the ultimate Muslim dream.  He is out to conquer America and Europe as well through immigration and proselytizing, he says.  He has used his "IslamOnline" website, Al-Jazeera TV station, program,  "Sharia and Life" for the past 15 years and personal engagements to spew his theories, as well as the 120 books he has written.   He's even on Facebook.    President Obama just reported on TV that there is a Mosque in every state in our union today.  How many keep in touch with him?  60 million people worldwide listen. 

Qaradawi is the religious leader that Mubarak kicked out of Egypt who has been living in Qatar.  The Emir of Qatar is his best friend and protector.  This religious leader is labeled  a terrorist and is not allowed into the USA. Despite this fact, he has been the USA's secret mediator for talks with the Taliban terrorists.   He calls for the death of all Jews everywhere, the takeover of Jerusalem, and like all Muslim Brotherhood adherants, the destruction of Israel. 

An Islamic Caliphate is sort of like a United States of Islamic countries who are ruled by Sharia Law and a constitution.  The last caliphate came to an end in 1924 with the end of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI.  They were on the German side and lost.  Shi'a Islam differs from Sunni in that they are ruled by an Iman chosen by Allah from Muhammad's chosen descendants. 

There was the Umayyad Dynasty Caliphate that existed in the 7th and 8th century.  Abbasid historians wrote that they had been  just pleasure-loving, hard-drinking usurpers of the caliphate.  Not all were, though.  They had a vast empire with different religious levels  and problems to administer.  Spain was a part of their empire.  Palestine was not. 

The Christians waged 8 Holy wars against the Moslems from 1095 to 1291 CE in the "Crusades."  They tried to take back sites they considered a part of Christianity, and in doing so also killed Jews in Jerusalem as they couldn't tell a Moslem from a Jew. 

The Abbasids ruled through the 8th to 13th century. They preached Arab supremacy, which made Iranians and Syrians resentful.   Now their society went international.  A group of Turks, the Saljuqs, ruled Palestine around 1000-1500  CE. The Abbasids  had some pretty decent rulings like caring for strangers in hostels, except  women were segregated and were kept in the home  rearing children except for the slave girls who amused men with singing and dancing.  Polygamy was permitted with men allowed to have 4 wives.  It was a slave society.  Men also kept about 6 slave concubines.  There were many who had not converted at this period, most still being Zorroastrians, Nestorians, Orthodox and Coptic Christians.  The Jews were a very small number. 

They persecuted all non-Muslims.  The dhimmi (non Muslim) could not build places of worship and if any were around were demolished. They had to wear special clothing, and some were even branded on their foreheads.  Homes could not be higher than Muslims, and in court were not heard from as their testimony was not admissable.  Dhimmis had to pay a head tax away from the capital and bow down when paying it.  It was in these days that many conversions occurred to escape the hardships.  The only Christians and Jews treated well were those that attained a higher level of education and skill, like some businessmen, court physicians, philosophers and  vazirs. The poor cried out: "Oh, that the tyranny of the Umayyads would return, Oh, that the justice of the Abbasids would go to hell!"

I think that the 48 Muslim majority states of the world, and there will be 49 if Palestine becomes another state,  should be aware of what Qaradawi is proposing.  The Ottoman Caliphate that we refer to as the Ottoman Empire was also just as bad.  All was not a bed of roses.  There have been so many attacks on Christians of late in Egypt that even they won't stand a chance of having a life.

Americans have a problem in viewing this danger as we are used to religious liberty and in not criticizing one another's religion.  It's hard for us to accept that the religion of Islam  has "Takia", the act of allowing lying to infidels about their religion.  Yet they are very brazen in announcing their intentions, like it's braggadocio.  .  It's time to think outside the box and see danger when it announces itself as such.

Qaradawi and the Muslim Brotherhood Take-Over From Naziism

Nadene Goldfoot
Why is Egypt's political party today the Muslim Brotherhood?  Why have they left the secular for the religious party?  In doing so they are possibly throwing out the peace pacts they have had with Israel.  This Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan, started in 1928 by an Egyptian schoolteacher who was an admirerer of Hitler.  His goal in life was to see a world-wide caliphate governed by Sharia law.  He said,
Allah is the objective, the Prophet is the leader and Jihad is the way."   Their greatest hope is dying in the way of Allah. 

Imam Hassan al-Banna  went so far as to have "Mein Kampf" translated into Arabic, and the Nazis subsidized the Muslim Brotherhood.  It is still the most favorite book to read by them,  2nd only to the Koran.  An SS division was filled with Muslim Brotherhood men. 

Today the Muslim Brotherhood is in 70 countries, including the USA.  Not only is it the largest Muslim group, but it is the best financed and organized. 

There are modern Muslims who hate what the Brotherhood stands for and feel that Qaradawi, formerly of Egypt and now of Qatar,  ruins their religion.  Yusif Qaradawi,  the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, who incites killing Jewish babies in their mothers’ wombs (his lecture at the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate in 1996), and who incites and supports suicide bombings and declared jihad in Iraq in the name of religion and the Prophet, leading to the killing of innocent people is defaming Islam more than cartoonists making fun of the religion.  Yet if they speak out they most likely will be killed for doing so .

Qaradawi also said in a 2009 sermon, "throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews, people who would punish them for their corruption.  The last punishment was carried out by Adolf Hitler....Oh Allah, count their numbers and kills them, down to the very last one." 

Don't think this group is so benign.  They are supporting terrorism against Israel, Americans and even the Shiites in Iraq and Syria.  However, President Barack Obama has chosen Qaradawi to mediate peace talks with the Taliban.  Considering what he preaches about Jews, what on earth is he promising to this terrorist organization.?  Obama seems to be walking in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter who in 1970 thought that the mullahs in Iran were moderate reformers.  The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlari, brought to power by Britain and the USSR,  ruled from 1941-1979 and was a reformer at first.  Most Americans were interested in his beautiful wife and saddened when he divorced her as they did not have an heir.  Then he was ousted by the Ayatolla, who also has the same goals as the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Egypt's elections for president are in June.  With the Muslim Brotherhood in control of the government, it will plan to impose Sharia and no doubt hold a special meeting to do away with the peace treaty with Israel then. They will also want to dominate Libya's new government and Syria when and if Assad falls.

Fatah and Hamas Try Again to Unite

Nadene Goldfoot
The two terrorist groups in Gaza have gone through the motions of uniting to join forces against Israel.  This time PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met on Sunday with Hamas's Chief Khaled Mashaal in the tiny state next door to Saudi Arabia, Qatar.  They are in the act of forming their unity government.  They did have an agreement signed last May, but still can't come to an agreement to agree with it.

  Qatar has become most important as a tiny state with a lot of backing.  They have managed to ingratiate themselves in the world with their Qatar Foundation which promotes their beliefs with education, and that comes in the form of financial backing.  Qaradawi, the top religious Muslim in the world, resides in Qatar and is the best friend of the Emir.  He has called for the death of all Jews and just finished a speaking engagement in Egypt. 

This Doha, Qatar meeting comes after having 5 meetings in Jordan with the king and with Israel in which they were to discuss a peace pact, but they got nowhere. Jordan does have a peace agreement with Israel.   Now they're just meeting and need assistance to unite together as one Palestinian terrorist group again.  They plan to hold elections in the near future. 

Previously, the two men met in Cairo for meetings, but have been unable to follow up on any agreement they reached.  Fatah had been the ruling party when Hamas overpowered them and sent Abbas into exile to live in Judea/Samaria.  The West has always thought that Fatah had been more reasonable and less violent, but in reality it isn't much different.  Fatah has been supplying salaries to Gazan terrorists as well as media through children's TV programs on PA TV that glorify terrorists as heros.  They glorify terrorists by naming streets and buildings after terrorists as well.  Maps in schools do not show Israel.  Textbooks have also been hateful towards Israel. 

One point of disagreement between these two groups is who is to be Prime Minister.  Hamas is not agreeing to the present Prime Minister Salam Fayyad as the head.  They also talked about a travel ban that Hamas put on Fatah officials in Gaza and Palestinian passports to people living in Judea/Samaria.  Another disagreement they are having is over Hamas's charter which they refuse to change.  It reads like the Muslim Brotherhood calling for the destruction of Israel.  They will not recognize the State of Israel.  By hooking up with Hamas, the USA is so disgusted that they are not going to fork over anymore money to them.  Hamas also refuses to follow the directive of the Quartet,  who are Russia, UN and European Union who say they are trying to establish peace.  Hamas must give up violence and recognize Israel's right to exist and uphold previous peace pacts. 

Fatah works out of Ramallah, Samaria, which is where their government lies.  They broadcast in Arabic different things that they might say in English.  Abbas speaks in English and says to all, "support peace,' while his planned events honor bloodthirsty terrorists that murdered Israelis.  If ever there was a two-faced person, it is he. 

All the fighting going on in Syria has driven out a senior Hamas official who had decided to reside there for the past 21 years, but things have gotten out of hand.  Emad Alami came back on Sunday, not because of war there but because of growing tensions with the authorities. 

The best thing that can happen is if these two would follow the directives for peace that the  world powers are suggesting.  But Terrorists are not necessarily sane, and these two have a hard time agreeing with each other let alone come to any agreements, then they disagree anyway.  What good is a peace pact going to be with them and how long will it last?   These terrorists' agreements last about as long as some Hollywood marriages, a few days.  This is a struggle of power, and Abbas was the loser before.

Update:   Abbas was suggested to be interim government PM  till elections by Qatar.
