I have to wonder why all these terrorist organizations that the interviewer is an expert on would be so agreeable to allow the U.S. government to dictate to them exactly how and by what method they should deal such a horrific blow to their fellow Islamists, whether Sunni or Shia, even though they consider them to be apostate. Is it that these groups can’t figure out for themselves how to go about killing their fellow man as their Qu’ran allows them to under certain circumstances. What has the west to do with it and what is in it for the West–the U.S., England, France, etc., and all the countries that want to finance and weaponize these terrorist groups–ISIS, Hamas, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, etc.? More specifically, I wonder what is in it for Obama, as he was mentioned in particular many times in the interview? Is it for humungous financial remuneration, more power or greater leadership in the world, glory, adoration, satisfaction at winning, pleasing someone great that he admires, what? He has to have a personal agenda or motive for heading all this chaos in the Middle East
Thanks

How is it hasbara?
“1.When is Muslim Brotherhood considered a Terrorist Organization?
2. By Whom?”
MB is a terrorist proxy of the anglo/zionists. It began as such in Syria in the 1950’s. It also politically and philosophically reflects the same far right orientation.

Hello Mindfriedo,
Once again an excellent SITREP. Regarding the video of Sheikh Nabil, i’ve seen previous interviews as well where he warned against support the Islamist insurgency/terrorist infiltration into Syria. It was an excellent video, thank you for supplying the link.
The man’s logic is to the point: if the punishment for pre-marital adultery is flogging, how is it that ISIS has transmuted the punishment to DEATH? –> by declaring any Muslim sinner an apostate and then killing them based on that reason. So what is the point of Sharia and its various injunctions if anyone that commits a sin automatically gets labelled an apostate and therefore is subject to the death penalty? That means every infraction is to be result in the death penalty. That means these ISIS “useful idiots” have appointed themselves as new prophets (which would be severe heresy).

I don’t see how that answers my question of how is the interview hasbara.
Dearest Brother вот так,
I should have used the word, Propaganda, which really means, Hasbara.
The Video is nothing but Propaganda (Hasbara) from Saudi Arabia and for this reason I gave the hint about ibn Taymiyyah.
Watch the Video again, keeping in mind what I said about Hasbara of Saudi Arabia.
вот так said…,
Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and they have been part of the terrorists attacking Syria for Israeli interests.
Yes, to some extent Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was involved in Syria. But MB consists of many, many Sunni Muslims and in many, many countries. A very big Sunni group is marginalized by certain countries and MB have been recently labeled terrorists by Saudi Arabia and General Sisi.
Hassan Bana was the founder of MB in 1920. His grandson Tariq Ramadan who is a Sunni, is on Press TV weekly, on a program called, “Islam and Life”.
Watch the Video again and connect the dots regarding Saudi Arabia. And, see that just only Qatar is blamed in the video, beside USA.
Best regards,
Mohamed.

Dearest Brother Slicer,
The word, “Kharij” has many meanings such as, “foreign, outsider, outside, exit and so forth”. From it we get “Kharijite” which basically means, “outside the fold”.
The word, “Tafkiri” is from the root word, “Kaffir”. A Tafkiri is someone who pronounces everyone apostates and thus infidels (Kaffir).
The Tafkiris are considered Kharijites by Muslims in every age and period. Some people think that Kharijites are only certain people at certain time only . This is not true.
The Kharjites were and are in every age and time. They were during the times of the Prophet, and will be until the Judgement Day. They keep changing faces and tribes.
The definition given by the Prophet regarding Kharjites is as follows:
1. They will have long beards.
2. They will have mark on their foreheads from too much worshiping.
3. They will wear modest clothing, not reaching to their feet.
4. They will recite the Quran like a Bubul, but it will not go down their throats. They will not be able to digest the True Meaning of the Scripture.
5. They will leave Islam, like the arrow leaving the bow for the kill.
6. And, the most important of them all, that they will HATE my progeny, from now until the Judgement Day. Thus they will be in every age and period, changing faces.
If you listen to the Video again, which is posted by Mindfriedo, the guy who is interviewed talks about both Takfiris and Kharjites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEuJ5v3AbJg
Ibn Taymiyyah is the Head of Wahhabism. With Petro-dollars and Hasbara, he is almost God-Like. However, during his times the Muslims considered him a Kharijite and literally threw away the keys to his imprisonment in the ocean.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
@ Everybody,
It is like saying that all German are Evil because they are Nazis. This is not true. It is marginalizing all Germans.
Or saying that all Americans are Evil because they are from the Empire. This is not true. It is marginalizing all USA people.
I am a Shia and over centuries, the Shia were marginalized and persecuted. And no doubt, the Shia will be marginalized and persecuted in future too.
Muslim Brotherhoods are around the world and in many, many numbers. Most of them are God Fearing Good Sunnis. Let us not to listen to Hasbara and marginalize a group of good people and call them terrorists.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
Thank you Mohammed,
That was excellent information that would be difficult for the rest of us to glean.
I have saved it into my knowledge bank.

Muslim Brotherhood condemns Hezbollah
http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2013/05/26/muslim-brotherhood-condemns-hezbollah/
“The Muslim Brotherhood condemned on Saturday the Iranian intervention in Syria through “Hezbollah militias”.
The Brotherhood accused the Lebanese group of having a “determined sectarian doctrine” which involved it in the killing of Syrian people in Qusair and other cities.
“Hezbollah lost their status in the hearts of Arab and Muslim people, that they acquired when they confronted the Zionist enemy,” the statement read.
In its statement, the Brotherhood stressed its support of the Syrian people in their struggle to rid themselves of their “tyrannical regime”, accusing Bashar Al-Assad’s regime of massacring over a hundred thousand civilians. They called on other Arab and Islamic governments to take a strong political stance against the “murderous aggression” against Syrian people and provide financial as well as moral support.
A statement released following the Friends of Syria meeting on Wednesday “denounced the intervention of foreign combatants fighting on behalf of the regime.” The Friends of Syria [that’s the zionist backed terrorists/cannibals PR front] members emphasised the Shi’a Islamic militant group Hezbollah’s involvement in Syrian army military operations in Qusair. They also expressed concern over the increasing reports and indications that the Syrian regime is using chemical weapons.”

Brotherhood in Syria: Hezbullah, Iran and Undecided World Community Destroy Homeland
http://www.ikhwanweb.com/article.php?id=31015
“Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria condemns international hesitation as well as Hezbullah and Iran’s intervention against the people’s revolution.
Mohamed Riad Al-Shaqfa, the Comptroller General of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood, said: “Arab and international action is still below the level required to support the Syrian people. Syria is facing a fierce invasion. The sanctity of its land has been violated by Iran and the Party of Satan (Hezbullah) in Lebanon.
“What is happening in Syria is not unusual for the brutal regime or the followers of Hezbullah (which he described as the Party of Satan). Syria will triumph over these aggressors.”
Shaqfa expressed pride for the Syrian people’s steadfastness in the face of injustice and aggression, and pointed to the town of Qusayer whose people fought against the gangs and the bloody regime’s mercenaries, stressing that the Syrian people are capable of repelling aggression.”

CONFIRMED: US CIA Arming Terrorists in Syria
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/06/confirmed-us-cia-arming-terrorists-in.html
“…The Muslim Brotherhood has been combated by nations across the Arab World to stem the tide of their sectarian extremism, violence, and their targeted erosion of secular nation-states. Ironically, the US which has claimed to have been fighting the forces of sectarian extremism and “terrorism” for over a decade now, have been revealed as the primary enabler of the most violent and extreme terrorist organizations in the world. These include, in addition to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in Libya, Baluch terrorists in Pakistan, and the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) currently based in Iraq and being used as proxies against Iran…”

Muslim Brotherhood are Western Proxies
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/muslim-brotherhood-are-western-proxies.html
“May 28, 2012 – One would expect allegedly “outspoken” critics of the US and Israel to represent the antithesis of any joint US-Israeli foreign policy, especially when it involves mass-murdering large numbers of fellow Arabs to expand Western hegemony across the Middle East. Yet the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has done the exact opposite, after a long campaign of feigned anti-American, anti-Israel propaganda during the Egyptian presidential run-up, the Muslim Brotherhood has joined US, European, and Israeli calls for an “international” intervention in Syria.
In reality, for those who are informed regarding the true back story of the geopolitical reordering of the Arab World, it is nothing more than the public roll-out of an orchestrated conspiracy years in the making, with each actor having long practiced their roles backstage together before coming out on stage and being introduced to the audience. Indeed, the Muslim Brotherhood and Saad Hariri have been working together with the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia for years. The Muslim Brotherhood’s political resurrection was solely owed to the US-engineered “Arab Spring” and torrents of cash and backroom diplomatic support. The US State Department on record had been preparing since at least as early as 2008, with Egyptian protest leaders flown to New York, trained, equipped, and funded courtesy of US taxpayers before being sent back to destabilize Egypt beginning in 2010 and culminating in the 2011 “Arab Spring.”
And while the Muslim Brotherhood is busy feigning hatred and belligerence toward the US and Israel, they in turn have feigned fear and displeasure at the Brotherhood’s rise amidst political destabilization the West itself created and perpetuated solely to place the Brotherhood back in power. This gambit is perhaps best exposed with the rise and fall of another Western-backed proxy, Egypt’s Mohamed ElBaradei…”
