Uprising in Egypt
[From Joel Rosenberg's Blog] "...The Obama
administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such
as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed
Egyptian government," reports the Los Angeles Times. "White House spokesman
Robert Gibbs said that a reformed government 'has to include a whole host of
important nonsecular actors that give Egypt a strong chance to continue to be
[a] stable and reliable partner.'" The New York Times and Washington Post have
also published major stories on this in the last two days, each of which are
posted on the blog.
Few moves could be more disastrous. Does the administration not understand who
they are dealing with? The Muslim Brotherhood's stated mission is as follows:
"Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad
is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
According to a blue-ribbon group of national security experts that include
former CIA Director James Woolsey, former Delta Force commander Lt-Gen (ret)
Jerry Boykin, and former Defense Dept. official Frank Gaffney, a group convened
by the Center for Security Policy and called "Team B-II": "The Muslim
Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1)
to implement shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State
(caliphate). Therefore, al Qaeda and the MB have the same objectives. They
differ only in the timing and tactics involved in realizing them."
Former Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammad Akef declared in 2004 his "complete
faith that Islam will invade Europe and America," reports the Center for
Security Policy, adding that in 2001, the Muslim Brotherhood's publication in
London, Risalat al-Ikhwan, featured at the top of its cover page the slogan:
"Our Mission: World Domination." This header was changed after 9/11, notes CSP..."

"Just another statist as yourself..."
I'm not a statist.
[From Joel Rosenberg's Blog] "...Egypt plays an important role in End Times Bible
prophecy...
1) Matthew chapter 24, describing the rise of "lawlessness" in the last days
before the return of Jesus Christ
2) Isaiah chapter 19, which describes a very difficult, violent and economically
disastrous future for Egypt in the last days, and even worse leadership than it
has had in the past. But there is also hope in Egypt's future. The God of the
Bible loves the people of Egypt. He is determined to get their attention and
draw them into a personal relationship with Him through faith in the death and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Hebrew Prophet Isaiah speaks of this
divine love for Egypt..." Full text:

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [From link: 'Revolution has given hope'] "This Egypt stuff seems to be the wedge that Islamist were looking for."
There's always hope. There's just no chance (Ge 16:12).
