Yesterday Yahoo News posted an Associated Press story from Cairo stating that hundreds of Islamists have staged a protest in front of the U. S. Embassy in Cairo demanding that the U. S. release Omar Abdel Rahman, also known as the blind sheik.  The blind sheik is currently in prison for life because of his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.  He was also convicted of an advisory role in conspiracies to blow up the United Nations and several New York bridges and tunnels.

The article reports:

“The protest leader was Abboud el-Zomor, who was released from an Egyptian prison in March after serving multiple sentences for his role in the assassination of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.”

Anwar Sadat was killed by the Muslim Brotherhood because he was seen as getting too cozy with Israel.  Unfortunately, the Muslim Brotherhood has now gained the power in Egypt that they were not able to gain at that time.  Hosni Mubarak outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood during the time he controlled Egypt.  Since the ouster of Mubarak, the Brotherhood has begun to consolidate its control of the country.  We need to keep in mind that the ultimate goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is the worldwide caliphate.  They are patient and they are willing to use peaceful means to attain that goal, but don’t forget, that is their goal.  Unless we want Sharia Law to come to America, we need to oppose the Muslim Brotherhood anywhere we can.
