The turmoil in Egypt didn't magically erupt just a week ago, it had been heavily primed for 2 or 3 years.
The Muslin Brotherhood's de-facto spiritual leader is Yusuf Qaradawi and he has a following of about 80 million Muslims.
Qaradawi has been spewing rhetoric like this since 2009 or earlier (SCARY STUFF):
"Oh Allah, take this oppressive, tyrannical band of people. Oh Allah, take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of people. Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them. Oh, Allah, count their numbers and kill them, down to the very last one." http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/01/mu...t-spare-a.html
"
Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the (Jews) people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them - even though they exaggerated this issue - he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers." http://sheikyermami.com/2009/02/02/s...o-punish-them/
80,000,000 followers is a lot of people! Why is Obama apaprently in support of the Muslim Brotherhood's bid to assume power in Egypt if Mubarak steps down?
This last one is long, but you really need to watch it in its entirity . . .
