We’ve been following the race for president of Egypt for some time now and gave our take on the candidates here. That field, as we suspected, has winnowed down to a two person race between Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh and Amr Moussa. Via the Chicago Tribune: Egypt enters the last stage of its first democratic […]

Will Muslim Immigrants throw Sarkozy out of office in France?
A common trait of socialists on display in France. If you thought it was bad here in the United States, with Democrats becoming indignant over voter ID laws so they can get the illegal alien vote, take a look at France. That country is on the verge of electing a far left socialist who is […]
Egyptian Presidential Election and a Mossad Connection
In the west, “bracketology” is a technique used to make sense of March Madness. The Middle Eastern equivalent comes in April this year as the Egyptian presidential campaign is replete with Arabic hijinks, political intrigue, and a jockeying for position that takes mudslinging to an entirely new level. Multiple candidates have been disqualified and The […]
(Sharia) Law and Order, Egypt-style
Ah, the rule of (Sharia) law. Via CNS News: Egypt’s convoluted presidential election campaign became even more muddled at the weekend with an official electoral body’s decision to disqualify 10 out of 23 candidates, including three tipped as strong possibilities to win. The move brings further uncertainty over the future of the Arab world’s most […]
Christian Science Monitor gets around to Egypt’s disqualified Presidential candidates
We actually wrote about this dynamic back on April 6th and the Christian Science Monitor has finally written about it. In short, as we suspected, the Salafist candidate – Hazem Salah Abu Ismail – is disqualified because of his mother’s U.S. citizenship and Muslim Brotherhood candidate – Khairat al-Shater – has been ruled ineligible because […]
Multiple Egyptian Presidential candidates wrestling with Eligibility
Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack When members of the Muslim Brotherhood were given the red carpet treatment by the White House this week, Barack Obama’s Press Secretary Jay Carney justified it by deferring to the Brotherhood’s certain, “prominent role” in Egyptian politics. Any discussions about the Brotherhood’s preferred candidate in next month’s presidential election in […]
White House Press Secretary’s absurd standard
In an attempt to justify the red carpet treatment for a gaggle of Muslim Brotherhood leaders, Press Secretary Jay Carney said the following, via the Washington Examiner: “It’s a fact that Egypt’s political landscape has changed and the actors have become more diverse,” Carney said, explaining the decision to host the Muslim Brotherhood. “The point […]
Muslim Brotherhood visits the White House
The Obama administration appears to be reaping what we warned against sowing – a Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt. The Ikhwan (Brotherhood) has reneged on its pledge not to offer up a presidential candidate. This is what clear-thinking people knew would happen if Mubarak was toppled. White House spokesman Jay Carney explained the decision by the White […]
EXCLUSIVE: Shoebat video shows Egyptian Presidential candidate practicing Muruna
His name is Abol Futuh and he very well may become the next president of Egypt. Though he was allegedly expelled from the Muslim Brotherhood for running for president in Egypt, this video shows he is also a practitioner of Muruna, which would permit him to leave the Brotherhood with nothing more than a wink […]
Video: Former London Mayor wants to make the city a “Beacon” of Islam
His name is Ken Livingstone and he has already served two terms as Mayor of London, with the second term ending in 2008. Well, he’s running again and he’s decided that the best path to victory involves turning London into a “beacon” of Islam. Livingstone did everything short of promise to turn Big Ben into […]
Video: Former CAIR Official says “Moderate Islam” a “violation of Islam”
Former CAIR official and current Egyptian presidential candidate Bassem Khafaji appeared on Al-Hekma TV in Egypt last week and talked about his time in America, how he loved the “place” he lived in but hated the country. Once again, the true sense of their misery is always lost on such individuals but I digress. The […]
Will Mainstream Media exploit Mormon attempts to Baptize Islam’s Prophet?
Back in 2007 – 2008, conservative media outlets were angered that the mainstream media did not report on the connections Barack Obama had to Jeremiah Wright, the Trinity United Church of Christ, and Black Liberation Theology. Assertions that these revelations were relevant fell on deaf ears. News that Wright published the manifesto of Hamas leader […]
Ron Paul openly courting the Muslim Vote in Michigan
A significant contingent of Ron Paul’s followers believe 9/11 was an “inside job.” So does a significant contingent of Muslims. Former Ron Paul aid, Eric Dondero insisted that his former boss was “most certainly anti-Israel.” Ron Paul has cited Robert Pape, a man with close ties to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as […]
Video: U.S. Senator says Republican candidates at war with Islam
Back in 2006, The Middle East Quarterly reported on what Democratic Senator Richard Durbin had to say about the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim Brotherhood front group: Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat, Illinois) observes that CAIR is “unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect.” Here we are […]
Department of Defense Official openly apologizes to Muslim Brotherhood leader
I almost changed that headline because I thought it might be slightly misleading but…. it’s really not. See for yourselves. Via My Fox New York: A Defense Department official visited a Virginia mosque Friday to reiterate the White House’s apologies for the burning of Korans at a US military base in Afghanistan, pledging that those […]
Egyptian Presidential candidate running on Hopelessness and Chains
Typically, if a presidential candidate for any country wanted to take away liberty once elected, being honest about it before an election is usually a recipe for defeat. Look no further than the 2008 presidential campaign. However, there is a candidate in Egypt who has decided to just come out and say Muslim women will […]
