Elbaradei’s Muslim Brotherhood Supporters Jeopardize Egypt’s Freedom
Pro-Liberty leaders opposed to Muslim Brotherhood and Mubarak are needed for Egypt.
Earlier it was noted the Muslim Brotherhood, through Elbaradei, will replace Mubarak’s dictatorship with another one. Since the French Revolution we know this can potentially happen—to the detriment of the Egyptian people’s reach for freedom.
The French Revolution failed because the revolutionaries were susceptible to mob violence, lacked sufficient philosophical knowledge of the nature of a free society and had corrupt leaders like Maximillian Robespierre manipulating them into contradicting their ideals (i.e. “liberty, fraternity, and equality”). Because of these factors, King Louis XV1 th’s authoritarian regime was replaced with another just as bad or worse.
To prevent this from happening to Egypt, the Egyptian people should have a rational philosophy about liberty and rights, oppose the Muslim Brotherhood and choose their leaders more carefully. If the Egyptians hastily get behind Elbaradei, they will be unwittingly supporting the Muslim Brotherhood’s despotic goals. Elbaradei is sympathetic towards the Muslim Brotherhood and the later is using him to further their agenda.
Elbaradei’s sympathy towards the Muslim Brotherhood can be seen in Phillip Stewart’s and David Morgan’s article, “Elbaradei urges US to abandon Mubarak.” In the article, Elbaradei is quoted as saying (about the radical Muslims), “They are no way extremists. They are no way using violence….This is what the regime sold to the West and to the U.S….” Elbaradei’s statement is false and dishonest.
All the evidence from multiple sources the reader can read online or at the library demonstrates the Muslim Brotherhood’s radical cultural jihad and terrorism activities. Stewart and Morgan’s article also revealed that Elbaradei wants the Egyptian military on his side. Of course, this will place the military under the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, Egyptian soldiers should beware of who their masters will be. The military should support the people’s push for freedom against Islamofacists and Mubarak.
Although America should not support Elbaradei and the Muslim Brotherhood, neither should it support Mubarak. That is because Mubarak is despotic and must not be “protected” from overthrow by the Egyptian people. It is the Egyptians’ responsibility to reject leaders like Elbaradei who verbally promise Freedom but who will deliver another type of despotism once Mubarak is gone.
If any US involvement is necessary at all, it should be to weaken the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda via overt and covert means.
