Fascists in Russian Anti-Putin Coalition: Whither the Oil Rich and Largely Muslim Caucasus?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 29, 2012 ⋅ 13 comments

COMMENT: The coali­tion assem­bling to attempt the oust­ing of Vladimir Putin embraces lib­er­als, left­ists and “nationalists”–that’s New York Times code for fas­cists, a word that Amer­i­can jour­nal­ists sel­dom use.
That coalition–strained at the moment–is rem­i­nis­cent in some ways of the one that ousted the author­i­tar­ian Hosni Mubarak. That event, as we have seen, has led [...]

Muslim Brotherhood/Islamist Coup Attempt in Bangladesh

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 26, 2012 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: It appears that an Islamist coup attempt in Bangladesh has been foiled (at least for the time being).
Note that the Jamaat-e-Islami (a Mus­lim  Broth­er­hood off­shoot) was a major ele­ment in the coup attempt. If such an future attempt  were to be suc­cess­ful, it would flank India with hos­tile Mus­lim nations–a devel­op­ment that would move the [...]

Dominating New Egyptian Parliament, Muslim Brotherhood Controls that Body’s House Speaker

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 20, 2012 ⋅ 6 comments

COMMENT: Hav­ing gained 45 % of the seats in the new Egypt­ian par­lia­ment, the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood has now maneu­vered the sec­re­tary gen­eral of its Free­dom and Jus­tice Party into the posi­tion of house speaker.
Por­trayed as “mod­er­ate,” the Broth­er­hood is, of course, noth­ing of the sort.  Allied with the Axis in World War II, the [...]

Al Taqwa Imam Mediating Talks with Taliban?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT: The Indian media report that Youssef al-Qaradawi is medi­at­ing talks with the Tal­iban. Closely linked to the Bank al-Taqwa, Qaradawi may well be the most impor­tant of the Mus­lim Brotherhood’s reli­gious the­olo­gians.
In part, this devel­op­ment (if true) may well be an out­growth of the State Department’s alliance with the Broth­er­hood, delin­eated in the [...]

Update on Prince Alwaleed, Muslim Brotherhood’s Tech Investor

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 31, 2011 ⋅ 8 comments

COMMENT: It’s been a while since we caught up with Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia–a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood func­tionary who has assumed a large pro­file in the invest­ing indus­try, hi-tech in par­tic­u­lar.
Alwaleed has added Twit­ter to the com­pa­nies in which he invests.
Span­ning the divide between West­ern cor­po­rate invest­ing and the realm of Saudi reli­gious austerity [...]

Droning On: Interesting Timing in the Middle East

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: The appar­ent cap­ture and down­ing by Iran of a U.S. drone air­craft raises a num­ber of inter­est­ing ques­tions.
If the account pre­sented in “Debka” can be believed, the pos­si­bil­ity of some sort of “inside job” is one to be care­fully con­sid­ered. (“Debka” is an intel­li­gence newslet­ter spe­cial­iz­ing in Mid­dle East­ern and Israeli national security [...]

Egyptian Army and Muslim Brotherhood Join Forces

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 28, 2011 ⋅ 16 comments

COMMENT: While the euro­zone debt cri­sis pro­pels Europe toward German-dominated fas­cism, the “Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring” seems poised to bring war and/or fas­cism (“cor­po­ratism”) to the Mid­dle East.
The Egypt­ian army and the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood have appar­ently joined forces, amid reports that the Broth­er­hood con­tin­ues to agi­tate for war with Israel.
(The Broth­er­hood is an Islamic fas­cist organization, [...]

Anonymous vs. The Muslim Brotherhood: Hacktivists Deploy against Islamic Fascists

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ 12 comments

COMMENT: A fas­ci­nat­ing story comes to us from the  vig­i­lant “ter­rafractyl.” The Anony­mous hack­ing milieu has declared war on the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood in Egypt. I don’t know how tech-savvy the Ikhwan is, or how vul­ner­a­ble their 0perations are to the sorts of gam­bits that can be employed by Anony­mous, but this is a remarkable [...]

Depressing, Terrifying Article about Pakistan’s Nukes

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 7, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

COMMENT: The Atlantic has pub­lished an arti­cle that should scare the Hell out of any­one with half a brain. It is no secret that Pak­istan, while nom­i­nally a U.S. ally  and the recip­i­ent of vast amounts of U.S. aid, actively sup­ports the Tal­iban and Haqqani fight­ers, who are killing U.S. troops, as well as [...]

Breaking the Relative Silence on Arab/Muslim Brotherhood Genocide in the Sudan

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 3, 2011 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: Although the slaugh­ter in Dar­fur has received some rel­a­tively super­fi­cial cov­er­age in recent years, the true nature of the decades-long geno­cide in the Sudan remains largely unspo­ken and, as a result, unrec­og­nized.
At the recent anti-Israeli dog and pony show in Dur­ban, the drone of “anti-Zionist” (read anti-Semitic) voices was pierced by a dis­senter.
A [...]
