POPS Do We Have a Muslim Brotherhood Mole in the State Department?
. . . operates within the Brotherhood in Egypt and possibly other Arab nations as well. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Dostor confirms that the Sisterhood includes 63 international members in 16 different countries. The group is being portrayed by Western media in a benign fashion, as noted in Der Spiegel and on its Facebook page. But a report by the Egyptian opposition newspaper Al-Liwa Al-Arabi paints a far more ominous picture. It reveals that these women, who are “the wives of some of the highest-ranking leaders in the Muslim Brotherhood” are being recruited to: muggle secret documents for the members since women go undetected by security surveillance…to spread the Brotherhood’s ideology by infiltrating universities, schools and homes…to lay the plans for the Sisterhood to work at the state level… …to fulfill the interests of the Brotherhood and also to benefit from international women’s conferences and unify all efforts to benefit the Brotherhood globally.

POPSDNI James Clapper: Egypts Muslim Brotherhood Largely Secular (Updated) "The term 'Muslim Brotherhood'...is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam," Clapper said. "They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera..... Fecking dhimmi, and he is Director of National Intelligence !?!?!!

POPSStop The Mosque! Bloggers Pass This On Concerns about the Mosque and Cultural Center at Ground Zero http://www.aifdemocracy.org/ AMERICAN MUSLIMS DISAGREE By Rep. Trent Franks and Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser Tariq Ramadan entered the United States this month with much fanfare and homage to a victory for the freedom of speech. While we will have to agree to disagree with Mr. Ramadan on why he previously was excluded from entering the United States, he would do well to understand another critical provision of the First Amendment - that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Mr. Ramadan needs to learn how people of all faiths can coexist freely in a nation that respects religious diversity and protects religious liberty for all by ensuring that government follows one law based in reason. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/may/13/american-muslims-disagree/

POPSAn Islamist in Professor's Garb: Tariq Ramadan Returns to America
Campbell, the ACLU, the PEN American Center, and the other sponsoring organizations portrayed the event, "Secularism, Islam and Democracy," as a celebration of free speech. Ramadan has gained a reputation as an exemplar of the art of "double speech": making statements that can be interpreted favorably by both leftist secularists and Islamists. This sleight-of-hand has earned him admirers among the European and American Left, who have called him a leader of "moderate" Islam and even a "Muslim Martin Luther." In a damning 28,000-word article in The New Republic, writer Paul Berman debunked these claims, demonstrating that Ramadan is the intellectual heir of his Egyptian grandfather Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization whose ideology inspired the formation of Hamas, al-Qaeda, Hizb ut Tahrir, and numerous other terrorist organizations. Ramadan, the first speaker of the four-member panel, opened the evening with a speech that was as vague as it was disor

POPSSam Harris vs Karen 'I love Islam' Armstrong " And how could we have been so foolish as to connect the apparently inexhaustible supply of martyrs in the Muslim world to the Islamic doctrine of martyrdom? In my own defense, let me say that I do get spooked whenever Western Muslims advocate the murder of apostates (as 36 percent of Muslim young adults do in Britain). But I now know that these freedom-loving people just "want to see God reflected more clearly in public life." I will call my friend Ayaan Hirsi Ali at once and encourage her to come out of hiding: Come on out, dear. Karen says the coast is clear. As it turns out, those people who have been calling for your murder don't understand Islam any better than we do. "

POPSNecla Kelek vs. Tariq Ramadan: Wer hat Angst vor dem europäischen Islam? Tagung mit Jürgen Habermas und Tariq Ramadan: ↗Ohne Muslime kein Europa Die Integration der nach Europa eingewanderten Muslime sei längst kein Projekt mehr, sondern Realität, so Tariq Ramadan. Bei einer Tagung traf der umstrittene Vertreter der europäischen Muslime auf den Philosophen Jürgen Habermas – und es wurde kontrovers über das Verhältnis Europa-Moderne-Islam diskutiert. Buchtipp: Wer hat Angst vor Tariq Ramadan? ↗Epochaler Reformator oder Wolf im Schafspelz? Tariq Ramadan ist wohl einer der schillerndsten muslimischen Intellektuellen Europas. Nina zu Fürstenberg hat den vielfach auch als "Softcore-Islamisten" gescholtenen Ramadan in ihrem Buch unter die Lupen genommen. Katajun Amirpur hat es gelesen.

POPSIn the name of the Palestinians International humanitarian relief organizations are sharply restricted in their activities ; badly needed food supplies are not getting through. The June 19 - December 19 truce was conditional on an end the siege and the blockade of Gaza, and partial opening the Egyptian border crossing. Neither Israel (nor Egypt) has respected these conditions ; the Palestinian population has been the victim of inhuman treatment, for weeks, months and years now. Are we to ignore these realities in order to justify the massacres now unfolding before our eyes ? Are the Palestinians responsible for their own misfortune because rockets were launched from Gaza ? The failure of memory is compounded by a loss of all sense of proportion : the number of Israeli victims is now multiplied by a factor of one hundred, two hundred, three hundred Palestinian civilians murdered by Israeli government fiat.

POPSDebating the Color of Europe: Point-Counterpoint between Marine Le Pen and Tariq Ramadan What people fail to appreciate is that Europe was never as pure as we imagine it. Western culture developed in tandem with Eastern culture, not separately. Most European ethnicities originally came from Central Asian populations. The process of redefinition and cultural influence has been going on in Europe for centuries. Short-sighted people like Le Pen are not just foolish for wanting to stop it, but for even thinking they can. A culture cannot isolate itself from the world. This was true during the Medieval Crusades, and it is even more true today. Immigration is the fundamental nature of man. Isolation is the basic reaction of the ignorant and fearful. Of course, Europe has never been bashful about imposing its culture over local cultures around the world. Could the immigration debate be a vestigial reflex of imperialism?
