American Muslim organization calls remarks from DNI Clapper false and dangerous

February 10, 2011
American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD)
Muslim Brotherhood is the primary face of political Islam which is ideologically at war with United States


PHOENIX (February 10, 2011) - Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) issued the following statement regarding DNI James Clapper's assertions in front of the House Intelligence Committee that the Muslim Brotherhood is "largely secular".



"The Muslim Brotherhood is the antithesis of a secular organization as asserted today by James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence. Clapper's statement presents a significant concern that our primary Intelligence officer has a complete lack of understanding of an organization that presents the greatest threat to the security of the United States. The Director of Intelligence is either grossly naïve or covering up for an ideology that is in an ideological war with the United States and western society.

The Muslim Brotherhood is built on the ideology of political Islam which adheres to a belief in Islamic Supremacy. To be a secular organization the Brotherhood would have to completely disavow the very beliefs that define the organization.

Further, the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to the political process in a post-Mubarak Egypt and throughout the middle-east. Thugs like Mubarak have created an atmosphere that has allowed the Brotherhood to thrive. The United States needs to be active within the country of Egypt countering the ideology of the Brotherhood helping the people of Egypt develop liberty-minded, democratic infrastructure to secure the country's future. We need to demonstrate to Egyptians that freedom does not come in the form of Islamic law or in the rule of theocratic clerics.

Our Intelligence community cannot afford to allow political correctness or this severally mistaken understanding of the Brotherhood to enter the conversation of how we will confront the changes in Egypt."

As we deal with political Islam domestically and abroad it has hundreds of permutations from the most violent (Al Qaeda) to the non-violent (Islamist groups in the west). They all are pursuing the same goal which is the Islamic state based in Sharia Law. This is because they all share the same roots - The Muslim Brotherhood. This very conflict is what defines our American Islamic Forum for Democracy. If America gets this conflict wrong we are doomed to become accomplices in the ascendency of Islamic theocracy throughout the world which ultimately threatens our national security.

This is not the first time this Clapper clown has choked!
See Dianne Sawyer interview these three stooges! We already know about Janet ''Big Sis ''Neapolitano, but this Clapper dude... :facepalm: where does the obama administration get these screw balls?

Di: "How do you sleep at night"
Neapolitano: ''We sleep fast" :wtf: :confused:
 
from what I have read The Muslim Brotherhood was co-opted by the CIA and British years ago, all the recent violence in Egypt has the makings of an eventual movement toward world war 3 IMO
 
what right does America have in determining governments of nations not their own?

in short - who cares?

none what so ever and the reason why people worldwide should care is depending on how powers shift in the middle east, another major war could be looming and that will not be good for anyone living on this planet

This. What most people fail to understand about Islam is that it isn't a "religion,' but is a way of life in ALL things, including governance. It does not recognize the Western distinction between church and state, but rather combines the religious, social, and political edicts into one pervasive system. It also encourages believers to spread this system by any means necessary, and there is the prophetic belief that it is the will of god that it triumph over all of the earth.


Before the "modern" era of Jihad, the last big one led by the Ottoman empire penetrated into Europe and nearly took Vienna, Austria in the late 17th century. It is important to understand that the people who believe in this religious duty will stop at nothing to conquer or destroy non-believers, because they beleive it is the will of god.

Muslim brotherhood
In 1928, Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood, a rigidly conservative and highly secretive Egyptian-based organization dedicated to resurrecting a Muslim empire (Caliphate). According to al-Banna, "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet."[54] The Muslim Brotherhood, also called Muslim Brethren (jamiat al-Ikhwan al-muslimun, literally Society of Muslim Brothers), it opposes secular tendencies of Islamic nations and wants return to the precepts of the Koran, and rejection of Western influences. [55] Al Bana was Born out of the extreme Muslim right wing's desire to counter the ideology of modernization, the Brotherhood's platform included a strict interpretation of the Koran (Quran) that glorified suicidal violence. Along with Al Banna, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj-al Amin Al-Husseini was also an enormously influential Muslim leader of the time. Together, the two created a powerful and popular Islamist party by classically appealing to fundamentalist Islamic principals while blaming the world's problems on the Jews.[56] Al-Banna also gave the group the motto it still uses today: "Allah is our purpose, the Prophet our leader, the Quran our constitution, jihad our way and dying for God our supreme objective." The 9/11 Commission Report states the Brotherhood's influence on Osama bin Laden and on Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman responsible for the 1993 attack on the WTC. [54][57] An important aspect of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology is the sanctioning of Jihad such as the 2004 fatwa issued by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawimaking it a religious obligation of Muslims to abduct and kill U.S. citizens in Iraq.[55]

Why save the world, when you can rule it?

How do you know what God wants? Often you only hear what the church wants (to pre-empt the assorted idiots of Freeones, I mean faith when I say church, not just Christianity), not what she wants.
 
Beware of the Caliphate. If you don't know what it is, look it up.

Thanks Glenn Beck Jr.

In summary, the Caliph is like the Muslim Pope. And the Middle East, North Africa and S. E Asia is like South America. In other words, the Caliph is a powerless, impotent concept.

But thanks for trying.

The American people don't necessarily need to know, but our so called ''intellegence experts'' should ... no? My emphasis was to point out the incompetence of our appointed intel officials (see op)




Now, did they inspire your confidence?
 
The Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to pretty much everything. So is the Christian brotherhood. So is pretty much any organized religion.

I respectfully disagree, I've come to know hundreds upon hundreds of people who, only if you twist their arms real hard or regularly hung out with them would they disclose their basic christian religious values. The christians I've met seem to have fun doing anything and everything an atheist would do, in fact, most don't attend church, they curse, drink, smoke, sometimes indulge in drugs and screw each other outside of marriage with regularity . . . so who informed you that all christians are god worshipping freaks?

The truth of the matter is, most people (even the one's who regularly attend church services) keep their religious values to themselves and would feel that it would be in bad taste to impose their religion upon others.

I'm aware of the new anti christian sentiment that's emerging in this country, but where exactly is it coming from?

Will you follow? ;)
