The Muslim Brotherhood is taking over Egypt. How far it will be allowed to go depends on whether or not the military is willing to intervene and halt the downhill slide to an Islamic caliphate in the land of the Pharaohs.
A neighbor in the region has every reason to be on pins and needles as events unfold. Israel has been warned by Mohammed Badie, head of the Brotherhood, that: “We are totally unhappy with the illicit marriage between Cairo and Tel Aviv." In the early days of the uprising in Cairo, and while maintaining plausible deniability, Morsi was seen sitting behind Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi as he delivered a diatribe against Israel. He appeared to be nodding in agreement as the crowd was zealously notified that Jerusalem would be designated the capital of a coming Caliphate.
According to an Iranian Fars news reporter, Mohamed Morsi, the newly-elected president, stated that he wants to “reconsider” the current peace treaty with Israel in order to forge new ties with Iran. An aide to Morsi vehemently denied that the Egyptian ever gave a statement to Fars. Iran immediately released a highly disputed taped conversation between the reporter and Morsi. Only time will tell how this debate might affect relationships between the two Muslim countries.
Reportedly the Brotherhood elite met behind closed doors last week to lay out the plan for Egypt under its leadership. Apparently the country’s “artistic heritage” is to be quashed; police are to be clad in what is called “Islamic garb”; and school advancement is to be determined by memorization of the Koran. Sources have said these wholesale alterations are to begin the day Morsi takes office. It has also been indicated that the Egyptian national anthem is to be replaced by one extolling an Islamic Caliphate. As expected, the group has denied those allegations and speaks instead in terms of “freedom, dignity, and justice.” Should these alterations be implemented, then the Arab Spring in Egypt will have become a building block in a plan for a worldwide Islamic Caliphate. That will ultimately bring total chaos to the Middle East and the Western world.
This is no different from the scenario that took place in the Jimmy Carter era. A weak, insipid US president failed to take a stand against communism, spurring the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. His administration funded the training of the likes of Osama bin Laden, sanctioned the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, and opened the door to the wars that the US has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it didn’t stop there. Since his defeat by Ronald Reagan, Mr. Carter has continued to castigate Israel and support the terrorists that surround the tiny Jewish state.
Empress Farah Pahlavi told me during a meeting in her Georgetown home that the Shah realized how weak and naïve Carter was. When her husband understood that Carter was supporting Khomeini, he said he feared if Carter continued wavering, a revolution would seize Iran, the Russians would invade Afghanistan, and who knew what horrors would come upon the world.
The rising possibility of a Caliphate would reshuffle the deck, create even more chaos in the Middle East and continue to cast Israel and her ally, the United States as the enemy. The perfect storm would have been created. An army would then be raised to attack the enemy. Peace is not the aim of an Islamic caliphate. The Liberal Left residents in White House appear to have an insatiable desire to negotiate with the enemy no matter the cost. Have they become unwitting cohorts with jihadists?
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton certainly jumped on the
bandwagon to congratulate the new president—not that a reason is needed to join the parade. Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin, the much-beleaguered wife of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, is a close friend of Morsi’s wife. Abedin’s mother is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an extension of the Brotherhood. One might think this would disturb Ms. Clinton.
Apparently not! During Bill Clinton’s presidency, Hillary was seen embracing Suha Arafat right after she delivered a speech erroneously accusing the Israelis of poisoning the water supply in Palestine.
As the Liberal Left see it, their own government is a repository of evil and terrorist attacks are punishment for past sins. When I wrote the #1 New York Times bestseller, Beyond Iraq the Final Move, it was subtitled “The Final Solution while the World Sleeps.” The “final solution” was described in detail on the back cover:
An Islamic revolution is spreading and is on the brink of becoming America's greatest
threat since the Civil War. ·Immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be disastrous and will embolden terrorists to attack America at home. ·Iran is playing a major role in the current violence. ·The U.S. must strike Iran within the next twelve months, or the next President may be presiding over a nuclear 9/11. We must see this war through to the end--or our next battle will be much, much worse.
The United States urgently needs to experience a great awakening before it experiences a rude awakening. The nation needs to remember its heritage in God, recalibrate its moral compass of right and wrong. The lack of support for Israel is symptomatic of the tendency to castigate the victim and embrace the traitor. The battle of good versus evil is being fought within, and at the heart of the liberalism that blankets the country is the belief that evil really doesn’t exist.
Fanatical Islamists are touted as basically good and shouldn’t be held accountable for the crimes they commit.
Liberals have a difficult time seeing moral issues clearly because most of them are moral relativists. They reject absolute standards of good and evil or right and wrong. In their worldview, man is perfectible, human nature is on a path towards enlightenment, and the concept of original sin is primitive.
These humanists re-invented Yasser Arafat as a peacemaker and gave him the façade of a freedom fighter, not a terrorist. They did the same with the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and fashioned him as an Islamic Martin Luther King, Jr., a Gandhi-like figure seeking peace. That soon proved totally erroneous. The battle we are fighting is between light and darkness; between two kingdoms, two spirits, and two books.
Secular humanists make excuses for evil, or worse, deny its existence or coddle it by refusing to confront the evil. Rather, they feed it. Evil is seeing moral issues in shades of gray, not in black and white. The reality of evil is rejected because Mankind has rejected the gold standard of moral truth—the Holy Bible.
