Muslim Brotherhood To The Western Left-Your Services Are No Longer Needed Or Desired!

I have no idea why more people aren't talking about this, but the world would do well to heed the warning of Israeli journalist Caroline Glick.

The silence of the likes of Susan Sontag, Jane Fonda, Noam Chomsky and their fellow travelers came to mind last week when the Western media and intellectual elites averted their gaze as Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, the long exiled spiritual guide of the Muslim Brotherhood spoke before a crowd of millions at Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Qaradawi, who had been living in exile in Qatar during Hosni Mubarak's reign, became an international jihadist superstar thanks to Qatar's unelected potentate Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani who gave him his jihad indoctrination show on Al Jazeera. From his internationally televised soapbox, Qaradawi regularly preaches international jihad and genocide of Jewry to millions of fans worldwide.

Two important things happened during Qaradawi's appearance in Cairo. First, his handlers refused to allow Google's Egyptian Internet revolutionary Wael Ghonim to join the cleric on the dais. For anyone willing to notice, Qaradawi's message in spurning Ghonim was indisputable. As far as the jihadists are concerned, Ghonim and his fellow Internet activists are the present day equivalent of Lenin's useful idiots.

They did their job of convincing credulous Western liberals that the overthrow of Mubarak was all about sweetness and light. 

And now they are no longer needed.

As if that were not enough, we then were treated to the spectacle, ignored in the American media (and probably the European one as well) of Qaradawi calling for the destruction of Israel, and demanding that the Egyptian military open its borders with Gaza as a first step in bringing that about.

One commenter on Glick's blog made the statement that the West is heading off a cliff and certain Israeli politicians, like Netanyahu, seem determined to drag Israel off the cliff along with the West. Yet another one stated that the world is coming unhinged.

I'm perspnally starting to feel these statements are too mild. The world is already unhinged, and as for going off the cliff's edge, I think we've already started that descent, we just don't know it yet. We won't until we finally hit bottom.

When that happens, who will we have to thank for it? For my money, the lion's share of the blame will go to the American Left to whom democracy, like with the jihadis, is nothing more than a tool. The greatest enemies of liberty are not the ones who assault it from without, but the diseased and corrupt subversives who will never rest until they have destroyed it from within.

While this has always been true, the world has never been in this degree of peril before, because now we are at a juncture in which the enemies from within have joined forces throughout the western world in an unholy alliance with the most obvious enemies of liberty. Though they make it plain to all what their ultimate intentions are, most of us just don't want to see it. We still insist that their rights should be protected and defended.

What rights? The right to work openly toward our submission or destruction?

Utter blithering nonsense!
