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 [...]
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.

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.

COMMENT: A fascinating story comes to us from the vigilant “terrafractyl.” The Anonymous hacking milieu has declared war on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

COMMENT: In past programs, we’ve asked whether the newly invigorated pan-Turkist movement and Islamism might converge. Just such a development appears to be gaining momentum, with Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu having observed the Muslim holiday of Eid el-Fitr in Bosnia/Herzogovina.
In addition to the fact that this former Yugoslavian province was part of [...]
COMMENT: After initial denial, the British populist/fascist group has admitted links to Anders Breivik, the Norway Nazi killer.
Aside from the superficial element of alarm–overt fascists gaining strength and publicity in a time of severe economic crisis and social dislocation–the growth and activities of groups like the EDL and Sweden Democrats actually work to strengthen [...]
COMMENT: Although the Egyptian political scene remains in flux, with the elections being delayed (as requested by many secular interests involved in the overthrow of Mubarak), the Muslim Brotherhood is advancing its corporatist agenda. Recall that the Brotherhood’s economic theoretician–the 14th century thinker Ibn Khaldun–is regarded by the World Bank as the first advocate [...]
COMMENT: In FTR #721, we examined the development of Western intelligence utilization of Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular.
