Orientalism Watch: "Obama's Muslim Brotherhood links deserve second look"
Published in Bikya Masr on 12 - 06 - 2009

Sometimes I just wonder how someone so uninformed about what is going on in the world gets to write this stuff. The author, Chris Carter, should never be allowed to write about the Muslim Brotherhood, Islam or anything whatsoever related to the Middle East. I am dumbfounded.
From the article:
“The Speech” delivered by Barack Obama may have been intended to strengthen ties with the Muslim community, but it also served to add another chapter to Obama's troubling history with the world's oldest international terrorist organization – the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Islamic revivalist movement Muslim Brotherhood (MB), founded in 1928 by the Egyptian schoolteacher Hassan Al-Banna, seeks to establish a global Islamic Caliphate ruled by Shari'ah law. MB has spawned such terrorist groups as Hamas – which is actually the Palestinian chapter of MB – Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Al Qaeda. Despite being officially outlawed in Egypt, MB politicians – who run as independents – account for 88 seats, or just over 20% of Egypt's parliament. In addition, MB has either founded or is linked to most major U.S. Muslim organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), the Muslim American Society, and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The MB denounced violence back in the 1970′s and now claim that they stand for democratic reform, but they support suicide bombings and are tied to international terrorist attacks.
