Morsi

Morsi

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
The man Barack Obama helped install as president of Egypt is an anti-Semite.  For example, in 2010, Mohamed Morsi referred to Jews as “the descendants of apes and pigs.”  He also declared that they and persist in “fanning the flames of civil strife wherever they were throughout history.”
Unfortunately, Morsi’s reprehensible invitations to genocide are not isolated incidents.  In fact, Jew-hatred and intolerance are central to the Muslim Brotherhood agenda of shariah – the virulently totalitarian doctrine Brothers like Morsi seek to impose worldwide. It is predictable that such hostility will, at some point, translate into violence against Israel.
That being the case, it is madness for the United States to be funding, to say nothing of arming, the Morsi regime in Egypt.  Such madness must not go unchallenged.

Morsi Meltdown

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Suddenly, the Obama administration’s massive bet on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and its elected president, Mohamed Morsi, is being seen for what it is: a mistake of epic proportions.

Anti-Islamist demonstrators recognize that they are about to lose their country, perhaps for decades to come.  Their revolution has been hijacked by the Brotherhood, which is intent on replacing Hosni Mubarak’s secular tyranny with a religious one under their guy.

Sadly, those demonstrators are likely to be brutally repressed  because in the Egyptian revolution – as in virtually all such upheavals – the winner generally turns out to be the most organized, the most disciplined and the most ruthless.  In this case, that means the Muslim Brotherhood.  And it behooves our government to protect us against such groups, not stand with or otherwise help them.

The New Pharaoh

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Yesterday’s massive demonstrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square offer one of the most hopeful signs since the so-called Arab Spring morphed into an Islamist Winter. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians turned out to oppose the Muslim Brotherhood’s accelerating efforts to subject their country to brutally repressive shariah law.
These protests were triggered by the announcement last week of what amounts to a coup d’etat by Mohamed Morsi, the former Brotherhood leader who was narrowly elected Egypt’s president last summer. Morsi declared that he, and he alone, would rule his country, prompting some to call him a “new pharaoh.”
The Obama administration – which bears no small responsibility for enabling the Muslim Brotherhood to come to power in Egypt – must forcefully repudiate Morsi’s coup. And every American should stand with those Egyptians courageously opposing it.

Morsi's Surprise

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
The folly of the Obama administration’s embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood is becoming more palpable by the day. The latest evidence was provided last week – right after senior U.S. officials effusively praised Mohamed Morsi, the Brotherhood’s Egyptian president, for successfully brokering a cease-fire between Israel and his organization’s Palestinian franchise, the designated terrorist organization called Hamas.
Never mind that Mr. Morsi’s putative achievement was actually a diplomatic coup for his fellow jihadists. It precludes Israel from continuing military operations against Hamas. But it doesn’t prevent Hamas from preparing the next round of attacks against the Jewish State.
The following day, Morsi effectively declared himself the dictator of Egypt. A lot of Egyptians are furious that their revolution merely replaced a secular tyrant with an Islamist one. We should be, too.

Morsi and the Egyptian Military

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Washington is reeling from the speed and decisiveness exhibited by the Muslim Brotherhood’s new president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, as he consolidated his control over his country’s military. Far from being intimidated by the seemingly permanent power of Egypt’s generals, he actually forced two of them to retire and scrapped their directives opposed by the Brotherhood.
Team Obama responded by moving the proverbial goal posts. Unnamed sources tell the Washington Post that the real test will come, not from the military, but an Islamist take-over of the judiciary. Unfortunately, that will likely occur shortly.
Meanwhile, the United States, Israel and the region more broadly confront a new reality: An array of advanced and sophisticated American weaponry – namely, the Egyptian military’s arsenal – is now in the hands of our enemies: the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt's Morsi

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met over the weekend with the Muslim Brotherhood’s new president of Egypt.  Then she went off to Israel, reportedly conveying Mohammed Morsi’s assurances that he would preserve the 1979 peace treaty between his country and the Jewish State.
Unfortunately, there’s ample reason to regard such assurances as taqiyya – the practice approved by the Islamic doctrine of shariah of lying for the faith.  For instance, Morsi beamed as a fellow Islamist kicked off his campaign by calling for “millions of martyrs to march toward Jerusalem.”
Israel would be foolish to take at face value Morsi’s promises, or Hillary Clinton’s fatuous crediting of them – let alone consider heeding her calls for more concessions to resuscitate the perilous program for dismantling the Jewish State known as the “peace process.”
