Egypt considers outlawing Muslim Brotherhood

Disbanding a terror group and working towards never allowing them back is a good start. Sadly, I'm afraid they will just return in the future via terror attacks.


CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities are considering disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood group, a government spokesman said Saturday, once again outlawing a group that held the pinnacle of government power just more than a month earlier.

The announcement comes after security forces broke up two sit-in protests this week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader deposed in a July 3 coup. The clashes killed more than 600 people that day and sparked protests and violence that killed 173 people Friday alone.

Cabinet spokesman Sherif Shawki said that Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.

The Muslim Brotherhood group, founded in 1928, came to power a year ago when its Morsi was elected in the country's first free presidential elections. The election came after the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011.

jafar. You managed to leave out what you should have said, as in "They will be happier returning to the safety, and protection of Hamas in the West Bank, and Gazza." You know. Where you claim all those Homeless Palestinians struggle with their rockets?

Actually even before mubarak was in charge. Remember who killed sadat? It was the brotherhood. Outlawed as a terrorist group even back then.

Talking of 'facts', Jafar .. or rather, your version of 'fact' ... didn't you recently go so far as to seriously question Hamas's claim to be Islamic ??

Here's your wording:-

Whether Hamas say they are Islamic or not is a moot point. A lot of what they do, suicide bombs included are not Islamic and you cannot prove otherwise.
... Well ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood


After the Intifada, Hamas was established. The Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, founded in 1987 in Gaza, is a wing of the Brotherhood, formed out of Brotherhood-affiliated charities and social institutions that had gained a strong foothold among the local population. During the First Intifada (1987–93), Hamas militarized and transformed into one of the strongest Palestinian militant groups.

The Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007 was the first time since the Sudanese coup of 1989 that brought Omar al-Bashir to power, that a Muslim Brotherhood group ruled a significant geographic territory

I look forward to your explaining that the Muslim Brotherhood 'isn't Islamic', Jafar ... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

How silly of me. Jafar, you put it even MORE clearly, with ...

''Hamas doesn't represent Islam BTW'.

You said it again, separately, to Tyr .. didn't you ?

... but, hey, Jafar, don't let THESE FACTS about your assertions get in the way of your pro-Muslim spinning ....
