    Report: Muslim Brotherhood Calls For Jihad In Egypt…



    Report: Muslim Brotherhood Calls For Jihad In Egypt…



    Via IPT:

    A book recovered by Egyptian news media at Monday’s sit-in outside the besieged Republican Guard headquarters in support of ousted President Mohamed Morsi includes multiple calls for jihad.

    More than 50 people were killed at the army building, with protesters and Morsi supporters blaming each other for instigating the violence. Muslim Brotherhood officials have repeatedly spoken of shedding blood to defend Morsi’s rule, so the discovery of the booklet called by the news website Youm7 fits the overall rhetoric being used.

    Youm7 described the publication as a Muslim Brotherhood book and posted excerpts from it, including a section called “Women who preceded their husbands.”

    “You, my sister, do not think yourself far from this field, excused to sit out a fight, where is your living heart then about what is happening to the offspring of Muslims?” it says. “Shall you not wage Jihad on our enemy even if only by sincere intention?!” The author goes on to discuss the “virtue of Razzia (a plundering raid) and Jihad even if only by intention.”

    More: Egypt Military Politics Government Egypt Could Be Heading For Its Worst Government Yet

    Geoffrey Ingersoll Jul. 10, 2013, 12:48 PM

    A protester who is against former Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi demonstrates near pro-Mursi supporters, near Tahrir Square in Cairo July 5, 2013. Islamist allies of ousted president Mursi called on people to protest on Friday to express outrage at his overthrow by the army and to reject a planned interim government backed by their liberal opponents.


    Egypt's new revolution is only days old and it's already looking bleak for the liberal moderates who arguably launched the whole thing. The transitional constitutional charter, revealed earlier this week, has a strong Islamist slant in its very first article (emphasis ours):
    "The Arab Republic of Egypt is a state whose system is democratic, based on the principle of citizenship; Islam is the religion of the state; Arabic is its official language; and the principles of Islamic sharia - which include its general evidences, its fundamental and jurisprudential rules, and its recognised sources in the doctrines of the people of the Sunna and Jam'aa (ie, Sunnism) - are the main source of legislation."
    As long as that stipulation remains in the constitution, and the rising orthodox Islamic Al Nour Party remains poised to play a huge role in forming the new government, it seems like Egypt may head down the same path of ousted president Mohammed Morsi ... only faster.
    "For the Nour Party, one of the primary major goals is to implement sharia at the nearest possible opportunity," Ibrahim AbdulRahman, a Nour spokesman, told Foreign Policy in January.
    The focus of the Morsi government was mostly a steady march toward Sharia Law. That was part of the reason the economy suffered as it did.
    From Foreign Policy (emphasis ours):
    The executive branch has no clue how to run Egypt. They do not know how to diagnose the problem and then provide the solution. They are simply not qualified to govern.
    The Brotherhood doesn't have the qualified people, who hail mostly from liberal and leftist parties. You need to form a grand coalition, and you need to put your ideological differences aside and work together to focus on people's basic needs.
    You can't eat sharia.
    Egypt's heads of state seemed more intent on telling women how to talk to their husbands than in rebuilding the economy.
    Needless to say, now the Salafists have stepped in to assume the vacuum left behind in the wake of the Brotherhood's ouster. Like the Brotherhood, and unlike the moderate opposition, the Salafists have a well-organized political machine, and there's no reason to think they won't do exactly as the Muslim Brotherhood did when they rose to power — after all, they were big time allies just a few months ago.
    Bassem Sabry at the AI Monitor had this to say about the developments:
    The constitutional declaration shows the strong leverage the Salafist Al-Nour party has on the transitional process, already blocking two prime minister nominations.
    The bargaining power [the] Salafists have right now (which increasingly appears to be bigger than what the military and the opposition had expected), with the Salafists realizing how their presence helps the military and the opposition maintain the image of a wide multi-ideological revolution rather than that an anti-Islamist uprising, and does not play into “it’s a war against Islam” claims by the Brotherhood and some Islamists.
    Though Sabry mention that the articles are supposed to be temporary — rewritten at a later date — he also writes that "temporary things have a way of becoming permanent."
