The <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Muslim Brotherhood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ikhwanonline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Muslim Brotherhood<\/a> will not go quietly&#8211;that is not their style. The thing to remember is that the Muslim Brotherhood had set up camps to protest the ouster of President <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Mohamed Morsi\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mohamed_Morsi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Morsi<\/a>. We need to consider what was happening in these protest camps. Terrorists were being trained, suicide missions were glorified, and preparations were being made for the propaganda war after the camps were broken up. That is the Muslim Brotherhood way.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Andrew McCarthy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/celebrity\/andrew_mccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"rottentomatoes\">Andrew McCarthy<\/a> posted an article at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/355761\/peaceful-brotherhood-protesters-torching-coptic-christian-churches-andrew-c-mccarthy\">National Review Online<\/a> reminding us how the Morsi supporters were behaving.<\/p>\n<p>The article states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>When not similarly ignored, Islamic supremacist aggression against Egypt\u2019s Christians \u2014 which was a prominent feature of Muslim Brotherhood governance \u2014 is disingenuously reported. Take this AFP <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/2013\/08\/14\/morsi-supporters-torch-three-churches-in-egypt\/\">report<\/a> of the fact that the Brotherhood and its allies are torching <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria\" href=\"http:\/\/www.CopticPope.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Coptic\u00a0churches<\/a>. The AFP endeavors to exculpate the Islamic supremacists by\u00a0editorializing, in the report, that these were \u201creprisal\u201d attacks. But the Brotherhood was not ousted by the minority Copts. To be sure, the Copts far prefer to take their chances with a largely secular, technocratic government backed by the armed forces than the rampant persecution they endured while the Brotherhood was running the show. But it is the army, not the Copts, who ejected Morsi. AFP tries to obscure this by recounting that \u201cthe Coptic church backed Morsi\u2019s removal, with Patriarch [i.e., Pope] Tawadros II appearing alongside army chief General Fattah al-Sisi as he announced the military coup.\u201d As I observed in writing about the coup in the August 5 edition of National Review, however, Pope Tawadros was hardly alone \u2014 General Sisi also gathered by his side significant Islamic supremacist leaders: Grand Mufti\u00a0Ahmed al-Tayeb of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Al-Azhar University\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=30.0458333333,31.2625&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=30.0458333333,31.2625 (Al-Azhar%20University)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">al-Azhar University<\/a> and leaders of the Salafist <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Al-Nour Party\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alnourparty.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">al-Nour party<\/a> (in addition to prominent secularists).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Men, women, and children are dying in Egypt as I write this. Some are innocent <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Copts\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Copts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Coptic Christians<\/a>, but many are <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Muslim\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Muslim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Muslims<\/a> being used as human shields in the ongoing propaganda war. It is truly unfortunate that lives are being lost in this struggle, but we need to understand that this struggle will eventually come to us. The goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is a world-wide caliphate. The Brotherhood plans to include America in that caliphate. There are many Muslims high in our government working toward that end. If you doubt that, watch the final episode of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org\/the-muslim-brotherhood-in-america\/\">The Muslim Brotherhood in America<\/a>.&#8221; This 10-part series details the strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood to bring <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Sharia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sharia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Sharia Law<\/a> to America. The series is documented and provides proof of the claims it makes.<\/p>\n<p>The military in Egypt is attempting to bring a democratic government to Egypt. I don&#8217;t think they had a choice but to close down the pro-Morsi camps. The people of Egypt are partially to blame for what is happening&#8211;they elected Morsi and they elected a parliament that wrote a constitution that would eventually turn Egypt into an Islamic state similar to Iran. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), the Egyptians began to realize that President Morsi was undoing what they had hoped would be a democracy. Egypt is a mess and will continue to be a mess until the Muslim Brotherhood is convinced that they have to go back underground. The lesson that needs to be learned here is that Sharia Law and democracy are incompatible. Sharia Law is also incompatible to our representative republic. We need to remember that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=e7e556f5-1caf-4bca-97cb-4eeadd9e1db6\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, the bloodshed in Egypt is just beginning.
