Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is engaged in what the Washington Post has called a “charm offensive” in America. That should be a non-starter since the Brotherhood’s self-declared mission in this country is “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”
The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate for the Egyptian presidency just announced, moreover, that, if he’s elected as expected, his “first and final objective” would be introducing Islam’s totalitarian code known as shariah.
No amount of charm should obscure the fact that an Egypt under shariah would be a menace to its own people, a danger to our ally, Israel, and, together with its operatives in this country, a jihadist threat here as well. The Muslim Brotherhood should be seen for what it is: an enemy, not a partner.
