“Dems Invite Muslim Brotherhood to Speak to Congress”

Hmm.  Guess bin Laden already had plans.  From MEMRI Blog and LGF, “Egyptian Daily: Democrats Invite Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Leader and Muslim Brotherhood MPs to Congress”:

The Egyptian opposition daily Al-Masryoon reported that high-level diplomatic sources said that Muslim Brotherhood General Guide Muhammad Mahdi ‘Akef, several members of his office, and Muslim Brotherhood MPs had been invited by U.S. Democrat congressmen to visit the U.S. next month and to speak to Congress.

Well then.  So much for fighting them over there so that we don’t have to fight them here.

Somebody’d better warn the Congressional commissary to keep pork off the menu.  Or so help me, heads will roll!

Notes Charles at LGF:

It just keeps getting worse; even though it’s a report from Egypt, I have little doubt that it’s accurate. Not only are they setting up their own shadow government, and pandering to the worst dictatorships on the planet, the Democrats are now openly inviting virulent enemies of Western civilization into our country.

This is probably a bit unfair.  After all, as Secretary of State, Nancy Pelosi has every right to conduct diplomatic business.  And as Commander in Chief-by-proxy, the Democratic majority in Congress is certainly within its rights to entertain our avowed enemies and give them a chance to spread enemy propaganda on C-Span.

Nuance, I think they call it.  Try to keep up, would you, Charles?

    The Muslim Brotherhood passes the Democrats “Global Test”, eh?

    I won’t put too much credence into this story just yet, as it comes from Egypt. If it’s true, it shows why I trend Republican these days. The Muslim Brotherhood is an enemy of the United States. The only possible excuse for inviting a member here would be to have him shot. To be fair, that may be precisely what the Dems have in mind.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I crack me up.

    Hey, maybe it’s a cunning plan to get these mooks out where we can easily snatch ‘em up, huh? Ever think of that, Mr. SmartyPants?

    [BTW , didn’t Mahdi ‘Akef say the Holocaust was a “myth”?  Square that one, Lantos!  Oops, wait a minute, he wants to chat with the Iranian Denier-in-Chief too…nevermind].

    Note his welcoming of dialog with the US found here.

    So we need to talk to the head of Al-Ikhwân Al-Muslimûn for what reason?

  10. Aldo says:

    It is fashionable now for liberals to respond to violent extremist groups by reaching out with dialogue and attempts to “address the root causes.”

    Oddly, I never heard them suggest this approach be used against the abortion clinic bombers.

  11. Jeffersonian says:

    Peace in our time!!!

  12. Phil Smith says:

    Fascinating.  The opposition newspaper in Egypt is “citizen journalism from the right”.  This is almost as good as “fire never melts steel”.

  13. alphie says:

    Nice, Maj. John.

    Leadership brings maturity, eh?

    Seems like only yesterday the right was giving the AP a hard time for using a source who changed his name for safety.

    How many straw men are in the bucket brigade that brought this slop to our screens?

  14. It is fashionable now for liberals to respond to violent extremist groups by reaching out with dialogue and attempts to “address the root causes.”

    That’s been fashionable with them since the ‘60s. For some reason, violence—when committed in the name of causes they support, or at least against groups they oppose—makes a group more “authentic” to them.

    For some reason, they believe passion == credibility.

  15. happyfeet says:

    It’s a plausible story – not sure why MEMRI didn’t name names but it was Steny Hoyer that recently led a delegation that met with the Muslim Brotherhood. There were apparently Republicans tagging along:

    Berry stressed that Hoyer met with el-Katatni in his capacity as an independent member of Egyptian parliament. He would not say what the two discussed.

    Hassan said the two lawmakers discussed developments in the Middle East, the “Brotherhood’s vision” and opposition movements in Egypt. He said the two met privately at the ambassador’s home and with other members of Hoyer’s bipartisan delegation and Egyptian lawmakers at the parliament building.

    But the problem with inviting them over would be that it would really anger the Egyptian government since the invitation would give legitimacy to a group that’s illegal in Egypt…

    Jon Alterman, a Mideast specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said Bush administration officials may have avoided meeting Muslim Brotherhood members because it could strain relations with the secular Egyptian government, one of the closest U.S. allies in the Arab world.

    “The difficulty when it gets to Egypt is that the Brotherhood is not a legal group within Egypt and the U.S. government is wary of violating laws in countries in which it operates,” he told The Associated Press on Saturday.

    “The larger constraint on our willingness to meet the Brotherhood is the Egyptian government’s unease with our government’s meeting with the Brotherhood.”

    So, all in all, kind of doubtful, but Dems shock and amaze on a daily basis, days are.

  16. Just Passing Through says:

    I am going to hold onto my anger until I see this one confirmed.

    Same here. There’s an indication from moderate Dems in both Houses of slowing down the train after Pelosi’s Syrian trip. It is interesting that even if not true the story doesn’t seem as unlikely as it would have 6 months ago.

  17. Aldo says:

    Does anyone out there have a sense of the reaction in the American Jewish community to Pelosi’s harebrained visit to Syria and the Dems’ recent overtures to Iran?  Surely Jews harbor few illusions about the likes of Assad and Ahmanutjob.

    Is Henry Waxman’s e-mail box full of “WTF?” messages, or do liberal Jews assume, contrary to all appearances, that Pelosi knows what she’s doing?

    At some point will American Jews break ranks with the Dems?  It is only a matter of time before Pelosi invites Hamas over for lunch.

    Heh.  What a Nerd.

    Are you sure that shouldn’t be an assignment operator?

  20. Gee, happyfeet, I sure would like the names of everyone on Hoyer’s “bipartisan delegation”. If it really was bipartisan (and not simply some Democrats and Bernie Sanders), then some Republicans need their asses kicked.

  21. daleyrocks says:

    It’s truly a beautiful thing.  San Fran Nan going to Iran and now this.  Why don’t the Dems take some heat off and just meet them in France.  John Kerry met the enemy of the U.S. illegally in France.  It’s the weaselly thing to do in a country filled with weasels.

    They could go to Sbarro’s!

    Yeah. I don’t remember the notation for “implies”, but that would be fitting.

    It took me years to break myself of the habit of writing “iff” for “if and only if”, but had to do it, because no one else understood it.

  24. happyfeet says:

    Here’s Steny’s delegation, also, Steny seems to be trying to reframe best he can.

    alphie, if we were sending away undesirables to camps without trials, you’d have gone away a looooong time ago.

    Because, face it, you’re pretty undesireable.

    The sad thing is, the governments taking this crap without saying a word and most of us are making jokes about it (I’m guilty of that too).  Its a serious problem.  A shadow government, though alarmist, is not a joke.  And what I’m seeing is, because we’re stuck with Spineless Bush (as opposed to Cowboy Bush we used to know and love) nobody with any stroke is calling Pelosi and her traitorous party to the carpet.  I mean, at this point, what does the administration possibly have to lose ??

    Ummmm, yeahhhhh, “moderate dems” in this day and age is an oxymoron.  Plus, the crazies are running the party and holding the purse strings.

    Don’t get me wrong- I hope to God you’re right and the there are still some sane democrats left in congress.  But I wouldn’t bet anything I cared about on it.  And they dont care if their actions appear to be “bad behavior” to us flyover country redstate mouth breathers- nope, what we think doesn’t count, its what the Iranians and the Syrians and the North Koreans think that matters.

    Scuse me, I think I’ll go throw up now and possibly considering moving elsewhere with no extradiction and a low tax rate (I have student loans I can’t shake =x)

    You can get that stuff about Republicans sending undesirables to detention camps by the wheelbarrow at Democratic Underground or HuffPo.  The other babble takes a bit more creativity.

    “Your emminence,” Nancy purred with a slight genuflect.  “I bring word from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel is ready to –”

    “Die?” exclaimed Assad, his long, llama-like neck undulating with excitement. “Committ mass suicide and burn in hell like the Jewish pig dogs they are? Nancy, you red hot monkey woman, you!! I KNEW you could do it!”

    “Actually,” the saucy Speaker continued, “I was going to say that they are ready to talk peace.”

    “Oh,” he sighed.  “That’s good, too…I guess.  So will this “peace” you speak of result in more dead Jews?”

  50. okay, so I just saw a bit of Pelosi on the Tonight Show and she’s saying that, um, the President was okay with her trip to Syria.  someone commented on RTO’s blog about something similar.  Pelosi meeting with Bush before her trip, and him “not objecting” so, uh, what’s going on? did Bush forget to tell the press secretary about this?

    Can someone provide me with a good link detailing the Muslim Brotherhood?  The only information I have comes from Wikipedia which, as most people know, isn’t always that reliable.

    On the surface, this seems like an incredibly stupid move and, assuming that everything I’ve read in this thread is true [about the MB], then I have to agree with the points being made.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have enough information on the MB at this time.  Any information would be helpful.
