Hero of the
Middle East: Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
by Bassam Tawil
• February 23, 2015 at 5:00 am
The
courageous, historic speech yesterday by the Grand Imam of al-Azhar
University, the seat of Sunni Islam, calling for the reform of Islam, was the
result of the even more courageous, historic speech delivered a few weeks ago
by Egypt's devoutly Muslim President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
The
Muslim Brotherhood, the current American administration's great friend, is
the poison tree whose fruit is the Islamist terrorism embodied by the ISIS,
Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al-Nusra Front, Boko Haram and
others.
Apparently
some of the Sunni Arab States have not yet realized that their own national
security, and ability to withstand Iran, depend on how strong Egypt is.
It is
possible, in fact, that U.S. policy is to weaken the Sunni world seeking to
unite under el-Sisi's flag of modernity. With European complicity, the U.S.
Administration is trying to defraud the Arabs and turn the Israel-Palestine
conflict into a center of Middle Eastern chaos, in order to hide the nuclear
deal they are concocting with Iran.
The
treachery of the U.S. Administration is the reason why Egypt's faith in the
United States, which is supposed to defend the Arabs against a nuclear Iran,
has effectively evaporated.
And now
the greatest American insanity of all time: America and Turkey are arming and
training Islamist terrorist operatives in Turkey, on the ground that they are
"moderates" opposed to Bashar Assad's regime in Syria. They either
ignore or are unaware that there is no such thing as a moderate Islamist
terrorist. The other name of the "moderates" opposing Assad is
ISIS.
The
Muslim Brotherhood, in effect, runs Turkey. According to recent rumors,
Turkey is also planning to build a nuclear reactor, "for research and
peaceful purposes."
Sheikh Dr. Ahmed al-Tayyeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar
University, the seat of Sunni Islam, yesterday delivered a courageous,
historic speech in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, urging reform in religious education
to curb extremism in Islam. Al-Tayyeb's address was the result of an even
more courageous and historic speech, delivered a few weeks ago by Egypt's
devoutly Muslim President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, at Al-Azhar University.
El-Sisi's monumental statement, truly worthy of a Nobel Prize, is having
a seismic result. Al-Sisi directed his remarks, about the ills of Islam to
Islamic clerics in Egypt and around the world. It was enormously brave of
him. He did not single out radical Islam, but he did call on all Muslims to
examine themselves, carry out a religious revolution and renew their faith.
British
Lawmakers Blind to Iranian Ambition
by Samuel Westrop
• February 23, 2015 at 4:00 am
While
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was paying homage to Iran's passive
foreign policies, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels were, in fact, busy
overthrowing Yemen's government.
Ali
Shirazi, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader, said
in January that: "The Houthi group is a similar copy to Lebanon's
Hezbollah, and this group will come into action against enemies of Islam...
The Islamic republic directly supports the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in
Lebanon, and the popular forces in Syria and Iraq."
A peaceful Middle East and a nuclear-free Iran, some British politicians
claim, is only achievable if the "moderates" in Tehran can be won
over.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, in The Times, declared:
"New sanctions legislation, which some in America are calling for,
would undermine Iranian confidence in the negotiations and irreparably damage
the chances of a deal. Hardliners in Tehran, who oppose any deal in
principle, would be strengthened."
Similarly, Conservative MP John Baron has stated: "We should not
forget, by the way, on Afghanistan and 9/11, that at least partly because of
the West's robust rebuttal of Iran's overtures, the moderate President
Khatami was removed and the hardliners again assumed the ascendency."
