Egyptian Party Leader Call for Shariah Law – Libya’s Top Mufti Banishes Democracy & Freedom Passages From School Books

That Islamic Spring movement is working out swimmingly.

The Egyptian leader of the Muslim Brotherhood party said the organization’s goal is to institute Shariah law.
The Jerusalem Post reported:

Saad al-Katatny elected head of Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, says goal is to “institute Islamic Sharia law.”

Saad al-Katatny was elected chairman of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party, Egyptian media reported Friday. He beat out FJP’s acting leader Essam al- Erian in a vote that took place October 6.

The FJP is Egypt’s largest political party, currently occupying 47 percent of all seats in the country’s lower house of parliament.

Libya’s Grand Mufit Sheikh Sadeq Al-Ghariani called for the education ministry to strip passages related to democracy from school textbooks.
CNS News reported:

The Libya Herald reported on Thursday that the “Fatwa Office” has asked the Ministry of Education in Libya to remove passages related to democracy and freedom of religion from school textbooks.

“Libya’s Dar Al-Ifta’ (the Fatwa office), presided by Grand Mufti Sheikh Sadeq Al-Ghariani, has called on the Ministry of Education to remove passages relating to democracy and freedom of religion from school textbooks,” the article states.

The article also reports that the religious official asked for “clarification” as to why extracts of the Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah had been deleted. The Sunnah is the second book for Islam jurisprudence after the Quran.

This is the same thing that happened after the fall of the Shan in Iran. Hard line Islamists take over a country and suppress their people with Sharia law. There never was any intention of growing democracy in that or any other Muslim country. It’s like trying to mix oil and water. Now they want to borrow some nukes from their friends in Iran. Thanks, Barry.

But remember, Muslims are just like us, wanting the same things in life. And relax, will ya; Shariah is fully compatible with Western law and traditions and esp. the Constitution.

Man, we’ve really got to be impressed with the analysts working in the State Department. They really know how to extend out the lines and project the likely turns of events from the Arab Spring.

Gee, I sure hope they’re paid enough. We wouldn’t want to lose such incredible talent.

CT, I certainly wouldn’t take an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt these days and that must be their major source of income.

The ‘Arab Spring’. Is the direction this has taken any surprise to anyone? Personally, I doubt Obama et al, are surprised at all.

sometimes i wonder if there’s a whole other game that’s going on. in a professional wrestling kindda’ way. a big joke we aren’t given privy too.
[The letter, sent for the confirmation of Egypt's new ambassador to Tel Aviv, was leaked to the Israeli press and sparked criticism at home for the Islamist Morsi, who has so far refused to mention Israel by name in his speeches.
The letter reportedly referred to Shimon Peres as a "great and good friend".]

… and people thought Glenn Beck was off his rocker when he predicted this (plus pretty much everything else that’s unfolded in the Middle East)!

Seriously, it’s hard to believe the media and political elite could have been so stupid and naive as to embrace this “movement” and believe the Muslim Brotherhood was a “moderate” force for democracy.

Cut off foreign aid to Egypt NOW!

Hey, they stole the Democratic Party’s most treasured hopes to do that in America.

From the Jan. 15, 1908 NYT:

THE CONSTITUTION
Old George the Third of merry fame
Possessed a great Big Stick,
J. Caesar had another one
With which he loved to lick;
O. Cromwell armed himself with one
To smite his fellow-man;
In fact, each tyrant, good or bad,
Had one since earth began.

When this Republic’s fathers met
To make a nation free,
They took all big sticks in the world
That were or yet to be;
They ground the wood into a pulp,
A deed of might note,
And on the paper thus produced
The Constitution wrote.

This while Obama tries to broker a deal with Iran before the election. Iran however, is saying they want to wait to see who the next President will be. White House denies this deal exists but the story is out there.

Play Now Nuke Later is not sitting well with Israel — who has not heard of any kind of deal being brokered.

The Obama Doctrine: Trading Bullets for Sex-Change Hormones in Afghanistan

A female solider is taking the name “Keith” as she begins the hormone treatment necessary to complete her sex change.

The soldier, who says she’s been married to another woman for two years, is currently deployed to Afghanistan.

This shines a new light on President Obama’s repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” (DADT) and shows how that repeal didn’t simply allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military. Rather, it politicized the military to new and unheard of levels, moving it further away from its central role as a war-fighting machine and placing it more in more in the arena of social experimentation.

In fact, because of “Keith’s” story, some groups are arguing that the repeal of DADT did not go far enough. They claim the military now needs to change its rules for “transgender people,” so that they too can serve honorably and openly.

Welcome to war-fighting under the Obama doctrine.
