U.S. Director of National Intellgence James Clapper testifies that the Muslim Brotherhood is about as dangerous as your local Jaycees chapter. This is horrifyingly insane.
Note that this is the same administration that so fears pro-lifers and so called “anti-tax activists.” But the Muslim Brotherhood gets defended?
And yeah, it’s the same guy who was nationally embarrassed by Diane Sawyer.
Anyone else getting worried?

No more than I have been for a while– I'll be more alarmed when they start applying such psychotic denial of reality here, maybe by requiring that terrorist arrests be proportional to population.

Oh, my God!

Taquiyya! Muslim lies! DISGUSTING. This administration is a joke, a lie, an obscenity.

No. A sleepy fellow like him is perfect. Besides, Hello, National, not International Intelligence.

Mulsim, Christians, Jews. One God, three religions. Who cares?

I believe it was Michael Savage who was reporting on the first few days of the protests in Egypt that this Muslim Brotherhood was starting chants "down with the United States" "down with Israel". That's just what we need. More scary, that's just what Israel needs, a Muslim militant state neighbor (or shall we say a new Muslim militant neighbor?) Yikes!

Clapper is just a bureaucrat like 1000's of others in Washington. The real crime here is that the US is desperate to prop up an aging Klepto-crat (Mubarak) and his regime rather than support the genuine desire of the Egyptian people to change their government.
If WE keep resisting regime change, it will go violent and it will do so in favor of the more extremist factions. The dumbest thing the US can do right now is continue to pussy foot around the problem of Mubarak.

Anon@758. Not one God. And Islam is not a religion but rather a cult – enforced by death if one leaves it. The Muslim diety is not the same as the Christian and Jewish God. If you read their texts, you will see that the Muslim diety, for want of a better word, is not a benign being but more of a construct – like a puppet made by Mohammed to justify his extortion, persecution of others and sexual deviance.

We have no idea if there is a genuine desire to change the regime, rather than just put some new thug in power. The best surveys I've seen indicate that women and Christians would be the sheep in this group of three wolves and a sheep doing democracy. (Things like 85% believe in religious freedom, and 80% believe in death for those who leave Islam. Same survey.)
That is exactly WHY the Muslim Brotherhood knows to put English signs, and English speakers, where they will be seen and cause an emotional reaction in the west. They're murderous, not stupid.

There are no nice leaders in the Middle East. They're all grunting brutes. America's only interest/hope is that it's a brute who is not hostile to us.

Here's hoping their cultures can advance fast enough to support a republic before they destroy the west.
