Another Cassandra moment for this blog - FT: ‘the Muslim Brotherhood cannot be trusted’
There has NEVER been any doubt about the mission of the Hassan Al Banna, and Sayd Qutb’s Muslim Brotherhood and its branches (such as HAMAS) and philosophical descendants, and friends in KSA, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Maghreb, etc.
They all know in their gut it is their personal responsibility to ensure the growth and dominion of what pleases god, and what pleases god is for Islam to be the supreme agent of that dominion on earth.
The Ikwhan has no choice. It is only submitting to god’s will.
This, so sorry, means that one way or the other, the fornicating, drinking, arrogance of a west which blasphemes and seizes god’s authority by making up laws out of their own heads rather than submit to god’s must go. It also means that those people cursed by god, the Yahudis, have a worse fate in store.
That is how it is. They don’t see this as them being the bad guys. They have a different set of criteria to decide what tactics are compulsory, and what the end game should be like.
Brotherhood takes on Egypt’s military
You can forgive Egyptians for concluding that the Muslim Brotherhood cannot be trusted.After claiming that it is not trying to control parliament, that it favours consensus over monopoly and that it would not field a candidate in the presidential elections, Egypt’s most powerful political movement has broken all its promises.Scepticism about its intentions was already rife last week after the Brotherhood packed the elected panel charged with drafting the post-revolution constitution with devotees. The move provoked a walkout from the panel by representatives of liberal parties, the constitutional court, the Coptic Church, and even al-Azhar, the centre of Sunni religious authority.Then the Brotherhood dropped a bombshell at the weekend with a decision to nominate Khairat al-Shater, its strategist and most formidable leader, as its candidate in the May 23 presidential election.The movement’s brazen push for power is a dramatic departure from its decades-old approach of cautious, gradual politics and its more recent preference for sharing in the responsibility of ruling Egypt’s 80m people.
The truly astounding arrogance the Financial Times has in assigning motives to the MB, likes ours, just because a vote has taken place causes one to ask, ‘what’s it going to take to convince you?’
What they want is not what the Republicans, Democrats or Tories want.
Political power is a tool to sanctify and glorify god through Islam. That’s all it is. Any action, plan, or tactic which results in that is a good. And the majority of people in the Middle East and many other places especially where Islam dominate demographically FEEL THE SAME WAY.
GROW UP, FT.
Place this thesis over the past and future actions of the MB and see how it fits.
On the day that the Peace Treaty with Israel’s abrogation will not threaten that tool, it goes. And the VAST majority of the people will be glad. This is the truth.
