Stunner… Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Candidate Says Sharia Law Is the Main Goal
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 5, 2012, 4:56 AM
The Muslim Brotherhood announced last week that they would run a candidate for president after all> The radical Islamist group previously promised to not field a candidate in the presidential elections.
Today the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Khairat al-Shater told reporters that Sharia law would be his “first and final” objective as president.
Reuters reported:
The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate for the Egyptian presidency, Khairat al-Shater, declared that introducing sharia law would be his “first and final” objective if he wins elections in May and June.
Making his first reported statements since the Brotherhood’s surprise decision to field him in the elections, Shater also promised to reform the Interior Ministry which long played a leading role in suppressing dissent.
However, he denied he had struck a deal with the military on his candidacy, announced last Saturday, even though it may help candidates close to the old order of ousted President Hosni Mubarak by splintering the Islamist vote.
“Sharia was and will always be my first and final project and objective,” Shater was quoted on Wednesday as telling a meeting of the Religious Association for Rights and Reform – a group of which he is a member, along with figures who belong to the hard-line Salafi school of Islam.
In comments reported in a statement issued by the Association, Shater told the meeting held on Tuesday night that he would establish a special entity to help parliament achieve this objective.
The Brotherhood’s reversal of its promise not to contest the elections has drawn criticism from inside and outside the group, whose party controls the biggest bloc in parliament and which dominates an assembly that is drawing up the constitution.
Shater called for reform of Interior Ministry to curb its “involvement in all aspects of the state”.
The 61-year-old millionaire businessman is set to present his candidacy documents on Thursday. He is viewed as a front-runners because of the Brotherhood’s organisational clout and grassroots network.

no one should be surprised
this is what obama wants
these are the”moderates” he lied about
but then when doesn’t he lie??
Finncrisp commented:
Moslem moderates take up space – they do not participate because the more radical ones will censor them- or worse. There is no visible faction of moderate Moslem thought unless they have escaped to the West and still put their lives at risk by speaking out. Most just stay quiet. This will never change, so we need to realize that and prepare – for the worst!
This is not a political movement; it involves coersion, terror, and intimidation, and ultimately power. So obvious.

gee what do you know a mooslum lying…reminds me of another chronic liar hussein
nadadhimmi commented:
Obama isn’t stupid. He knows damn good and well that these moslems were and are going to institute sharia law in Eygpt and the rest of the Middle East and indeed the world. That is exactly the reason he backed them and also backed the mullah’s in Iran 3 yrs ago even as they murdered the little girl Neda on International Television. Tens of millions of armed Americans will not allow that to happen here. Which is why Obama and Holder are trying to destroy the 2nd Amendment and the rest of the Constitution as well. Socialist totalitarianism will be easily morphed into moslem law and dominance. However,Jews like Spielberg and Streisand et all continue to support Obama on the basis of his skin color. Streisand is a moron, but Speilberg knows better.

What scares me the most was that I was at a party of about 30 people last week and I was the only person that knew what sharia is.
JRLASH commented:
Folks, if you don’t resist this plague with all you have America as you know it is OVER, in fact, pretty much right now the America that those of us who remember the 70′s, is GONE never to return. But if the rest of the country does not speak out about this “creeping sharia law” you will not be able to resist at all when they get in places of real power. Start speaking out and speaking UP when confronted with it.

Waiting, waiting waiting for that ‘smart diplomacy’ to show up. Along with the atheist & womyn’s ‘rights’ groups.
Barrackaid commented:
According to former Muslim Brotherhood activist Walid Shoebat, who monitors Arabic media, Khairat al-Shater has virtually no shot at winning.
The guy who does is a much stealthier Islamist named Akoul Futuah, who has been endorsed by Yusuf al-Qaradawi

“Stunner”?
It shouldn’t have been.
pdxnag commented:
Criticism of government — or some specific government prick — will be the same as criticism of Islam, which will net you death. Tyranny for all.

[Today, in the White House, there are three members of
the Muslim Brotherhood that influence Obama's policy.]
[Islamist-allied operatives appointed by Obama are undermining U.S. security policy – explains counter-Intelligence expert, Prof. Clare Lopez. Aimed at co-opting Americas foreign policy in the Middle East, a network including well-known American diplomats, congressional representatives, figures from academia and the think tank world – with ties to the clerical regime in Tehran – is directing the Obama Administration’s policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Middle East.]
