Here’s a political move you won’t see to often from an
Islamic dominated nation: Egypt’s Parliament (or whatever the Arabic is)
rebukes the UK Parliament on the British perception of Political Islam.
Interestingly, the Egyptian secularists in government are
chastising UK Multiculturalist Leftists for looking the other way on the
nefarious Political Islamists. PAY ATTENTION AMERICANS!

The Egyptian Parliament
Rebukes the UK Parliament on Political Islam
Nov 23 2016
This is an incredible
report. The Egyptian Parliament says to the British Parliament that their
report on Islam is totally wrong. They even say that they have not read any
books on political Islam, which is a cancer for democracy. This Egyptian report
reads like I wrote it.

Egypt’s parliament report responds to UK parliament’s defense of political Islam

Egypt’s parliament report responds to UK parliament’s defense of political Islam
Gamal Essam El-Din, Monday 21 Nov 2016
The Egyptian parliament’s foreign affairs committee said its report aims to expose Europe and the UK’s false views on “political Islam”
A 10-page report issued by
the Egyptian parliament’s foreign affairs committee on Sunday launched a
scathing attack on EU and UK politicians and MPs who defend “political Islam.”
The report, issued in
response to a UK House of Commons’ foreign affairs committee’s report on the
Muslim Brotherhood and political Islam on 7 November, said it does not aim to
defend the Egyptian government’s security and legal measures against the
Brotherhood group and its affiliated militant and terrorist organizations.
“Our report reflects our
responsibility as elected MPs to stand against a group which seized its one
year in power to turn Egypt into a religious state and show the world the true
meaning of “political Islam,” said the report.
It added that the “Muslim
Brotherhood tried to steal history and turn the Arab world’s first civilian
state into a theocratic state that is hostile to human civilization and the
values of freedom, equality and citizenship.”
The report said “if Europe
and the West are really keen to stem the tide of religious terrorism and the
political hijacking of Islam, they should correct their understanding of all
political Islam movements which claim they have a licence from God to implement
his laws on earth and impose the state of the caliphate on the world.”
Ahmed Said, head of the
Egyptian foreign affairs committee, told reporters Sunday that Egypt’s
parliament deplores the UK report’s inclusion of a number of horrible lies.
“Our committee’s report aims
to expose these lies. We intend to send it to the Egyptian ambassadors in
England and Germany to stand against the attempts of several politicians and
MPs in these two countries to polish the image of political Islam ,” the report
said.
Said said “we know from
history that Europe was able to move ahead and achieve progress only after it
made a separation between religion and politics.”
“So we are surprised by the
new generation of European radical liberals and progressives who defend
political Islam and thereby give cover for Islamist movements which claim
victimhood to spread across Europe and create a fertile ground for Islamist
radicals there,” said Said.
The report said the UK
parliament’s report offered a very artificial interpretation of “political
Islam.”
“We wonder how a parliament
that was based on separating religion from politics approves that a country
like Egypt be governed by a theocratic state,” said the report, adding that
“this is a setback from all the democratic and liberal ideals which formed the
foundation of European civilization.”
The report said that “the UK
parliament made a very artificial and marginal differentiation between Islamist
movements that exploit democracy to reach power on the one hand, and Islamist
movements that seek the path of violence and armed jihad to impose their
radical ideology on societies, on the other.”
“All studies that have been
conducted on political Islam movements show that there are no essential
differences among them and that they all seek one objective – that is trying to
impose a strict code of Islam and Islamic Sharia law on the world, and to
launch an armed Jihad against ‘infidel rulers’ everywhere,” argued the report.
“In other words,” the report
added, “these groups want to Islamise the entire world and they only differ on
when and how these objectives should be implemented,” said the report.
“While a group like the
Muslim Brotherhood shows the face of artificial Islamic moderation to gain
ground in the West and infiltrate societies there, other groups seek the road
of violence. Each complements the other,” said the report.
The report described the
Muslim Brotherhood “as the mother of all jihadist and Salafist movements.”
“The UK parliament report
ignores – either on purpose or due to a lack of knowledge about historical
facts – that since it was established in the first third of the previous
century the Muslim Brotherhood has been responsible for spreading the radical
Islamic ideology upon which all terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida, ISIS,
Hamas, Ezzeddin Al-Qassam, Al-Nusra Front and Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis were based,”
said the report, adding that “most of the leaders of these terrorist
organizations such as Al-Qaida’s current leader Ayman Al-Zawahri were once
members of Muslim Brotherhood.”
“This group is the godfather
of all jihadist and Salafist ideologies which dream of resurrecting the state
of the caliphate against the infidel West,” said the report.
“We doubt that UK politicians
or MPs have any books about the ideological basis of this group, which is
highly hostile to the West and what they describe as its “liberal and infidel
culture,” said the report.
To press its case, the report
reviews a number of political assassinations which the Muslim Brotherhood has
carried out since it was established by its leader Hassan Al-Banna in 1928.
The second part of the
response accuses the UK report of making “a big mistake” by drawing a
comparison between the experience of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Tunisia.
“The Media and politicians in
the West always like to portray Tunisia as the democratic, inclusive model in
the Middle East,” said the report, adding that “this is a big mistake because
facts show that Tunisia has become a fertile ground for Islamist jihadists who
spread extremism and terrorism in France and Europe and that more than 1,000 Tunisians
— the greatest number from any Arab country — a have joined the IS group.”
“Doesn’t this show that the
Muslim Brotherhood ideology was behind the transformation of Tunisia into a
breeding ground for jihadists,” wondered the report, adding that “not to
mention that Tunisia is a small country – with 11 million people – but Egypt is
a country with 90 million and the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood, which
exploited political tolerance over eight decades to create a wide network of
businesses and secret armed militias.”
“The Muslim Brotherhood in
Egypt owns banks, charity organizations and receives huge donations from
wealthy sympathizers in the Arabian Gulf and throughout the Islamic world,”
said the report.
The report also argued that
the Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia accepted democracy only for tactical reasons.
“After they saw how millions in Egypt revolted against their mother group, they
decided to backtrack only for tactical reasons,” said the report.
The report’s third section is
devoted to explaining the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology and internal structure
“which is highly hostile to all democratic values.”
“Their ideology is based on
strict obedience to the group’s supreme guide, not to mention that its main
ideologues, such as Sayyid Qutb, were the ones who invented the jihadist
ideology which states that “democracy goes against the rule of God and Islamic Sharia,”
said the report.
The report also reviews in
detail “the one year of the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt.”
“They exploited the collapse
of (former president) Hosni Mubarak’s ruling party to exclude all civilian
political forces from power and impose their rule on the country. When millions
revolted against them and expelled them from power on 30 June, 2013, they
resorted to claims of victimhood again, only to find an ear in the UK and its
parliament,” said the report, insisting that “Egyptians stand firm against the
rule of ‘the supreme guide’ and will not allow their country to become a
religious state.”
“Egyptians are in a battle of
life and death against this group, which is the mother of all radical Islam
movements,” said the report.
The report also said that
many of those who implemented terrorist attacks against the US on 11 September,
2001 received training at the hands of old and veteran Muslim Brotherhood
leaders.
The report spotlights what it
calls the Muslim Brotherhood’s “empowerment ideology” which seeks to Islamise
the entire world in a gradual way.
The report urges the UK
parliament and politicians to review “the dark history of the Muslim
Brotherhood” and to verify their information about it “instead of issuing
distorted reports about political Islam.”
“While the world has become
increasingly aware of the dangers of all radical Islam movements, we are
surprised that the UK MPs and politicians still live in a coma, insistent not
only on polishing the image of these movements, but also propagating the
biggest lie: that it is a peaceful and moderate movement,” the report
concludes.
The report includes a great
number of details about the yearlong rule of former president Mohamed Morsi and
how the Brotherhood exploited this year to isolate all political forces.
“For all those who believe in
the West that Islamist movements can be integrated into the political process
of Arab countries, we offer this bitter experience to put an end to this lie,”
said the report.
The UK House of Commons’ foreign
affairs committee released its report on 7 November, commenting on the findings
and conclusions of a December 2015 review by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth
Office (FCO) on the Muslim Brotherhood.
The 2015 FCO report concluded
that the group has long maintained a dubious position vis-à-vis the use of
violence and terrorism to achieve political change.
The UK parliament committee
said that the FCO review “undermined confidence in the impartiality of the
FCO’s work” due to the “misguided appointment” of Sir John Jenkins, the UK
ambassador to Saudi Arabia, to head the review effort.

About Political Islam
What is Islam?
Islam is a cultural, religious and political system. Only the
political system is of interest to kafirs (non-Muslims) since
it determines how we are defined and treated. The Islamic political system is
contained in the Koran, the Hadith (the traditions of
Mohammed) and his biography, the Sira.
Our Mission
Political Islam has subjugated other civilizations for 1400 years.
Our mission is to educate the world about political Islam, its founder
Mohammed, his political doctrine and his god, Allah.
The Five Principles
Islam’s Trilogy of three sacred texts is the Koran and two books
about the life of Mohammed. When the Trilogy is sorted, categorized, arranged,
rewritten and analyzed, it becomes apparent that five principles are the
foundation of Islam.
All of Islam is based upon the Trilogy—Koran, Sira (Mohammed’s
biography) and Hadith (his Traditions).
Most of the Islamic doctrine is political, not religious. Islam is a political ideology.
Political Islam always has two different ways to treat kafirs—dualistic
ethics. Kafirs can be abused in the worst ways or they can be treated
like a good neighbor.
Kafirs must submit to Islam in all politics and public life. Every
aspect of kafir civilization must submit to political Islam.
