Comments on: Muslim Brotherhood Turns Away From “Democratic Engagement” http://hurryupharry.org/2009/12/22/muslim-brotherhood-turns-away-from-democratic-engagement/ Liberty, if it means anything, is the right to tell people what they don't want to hear Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:42:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stanislaw http://hurryupharry.org/2009/12/22/muslim-brotherhood-turns-away-from-democratic-engagement/comment-page-1/#comment-428806 Stanislaw Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:57:24 +0000 http://www.hurryupharry.org/?p=25475#comment-428806 Poor Marc. I wonder just what it is about Islamism that sets his liberal pulse racing - the oppression of women? The denial of education to girls. Chucking homosexuals off buildings. Dhimmi status for non-Muslims? Blasphemy laws? The clear intent to remove democracy once power has been attained? Flaming Fairy: "It is hard not to feel sorry for a man whose hopes and expectations have been so palpably dashed." "On the contrary, I find it incredibly easy not to feel sorry for him, in fact I find it incredibly easy to laugh at such an idiot." Quite. Poor Marc.

Flaming Fairy:

“It is hard not to feel sorry for a man whose hopes and expectations have been so palpably dashed.”

“On the contrary, I find it incredibly easy not to feel sorry for him, in fact I find it incredibly easy to laugh at such an idiot.”

Quite.

Has this 'scholar' ever taken a few minutes to paruse the MB's charter? It is hard not to feel sorry for a man whose hopes and expectations have been so palpably dashed.

This is an article about a political party: the Muslim Brotherhood. It has minority support, even in Egypt. And probably, these days, in Gaza.

His stream of ad hominem attacks and wishful delusions were not worth responding to, but I wonder what he makes of this. I expect he will shy away from the voices of reason coming from the likes of Josh, Cookie Cutter and Lucy, back into his socialist dreamworld. Thank you, Lucy, for another great article.

Did anyone else hear this absolute bollocks from Amnesty on BBC news as posted here on their website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8425698.stm To listen you would think that NO food gets through to Gaza because of Israel.

It is MPAC banging its usual drum - i.e. we must empower Muslims to act as a single political bloc, and then Islam itself will revive. etc. Interesting that the MPAC piece is on Ikwaan web – but this is an MPAC article, not a MB article.
