Hassan al-Banna, Islaimia, Egypt, Founder of the Pan-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Onun hatırasına yönelik böyle bir eser, ülkemizde ne yazık ki olmadı, ilk defa oluyor.

Mohammed Morsi of Hasan al-Banna’s pan-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood is the new president of Egypt. United States must welcome him.
Four groups of considerable import in Middle East and North African politics have played a significant role in shaping the region since the birth of Theodr Herzl’s Zionist Israel in 1946: Muslim Brotherhood, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hezbollah, and Hamas. All four, at some point, were designated as terrorist groups by the United States.
All four groups are distinct from Al Qaeda, a stateless Frankenstein, created by the United States in the crucible of the Afghan proxy war with the former Soviet Union.
Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are grassroots political movements in Egypt and Palestine. Hezbollah is a Shiite proxy of Iran in Lebanon, but politically viable and represents its constituents in the parliament. PLO made the transition from its known and targeted anti-Israeli offensives to a major Palestinian political party, the Fatah of Mahmoud Abbas, and rival of Hamas, after Yasser Arafat.
Hamas had won a recent election in the West Bank but annulled by the West and it is strong in Gaza, West Bank and Gaza separated by Israeli land. United States and Israel have voted in the UN against recognizing Palestine as a state, despite Mahmoud Abbas retaining control of the West Bank.
After September 11, 2001, institutional tolerance in the United States for secular faith has considerably diminished because its politics is confusing its people by substituting the classical liberal secular faith, the founding doctrine of the country, with the godless neo-liberal secularism of 19th century European modernity.
By Constitution, America is a country, akin to modern secular India, born in faith, not in atheism: many faiths co-exist peacefully under law, protected from state intervention.
Arab Spring, the revolutionary movement similar to those in Eastern Europe after 1989, had spread from Tunisia to Egypt and later to Libya, displacing proxy governments put into place by the United States to protect the territorial integrity of Israel.
America now has democracy on the ground in Arabia but one that is not secular in the image of the United States. Non-secular democracies also resulted in Europe after World War II.
Europe after World War II remains largely officially Christian though in tolerance of other faiths. Likewise, Israel is Zionist, yet co-exists with a sizable Arab Muslim population.
Arab Spring is Islamist. Arabia can co-exist with minority faiths within the borders of Islamic countries as Europe and Israel do with their minorities.
Without the direct bilateral involvement of either Europe or United States, nearly 70 years after Israel’s establishment as a modern state, it’s Islamist neighbors must all formally recognize the Zionist Israel’s right to exist. In reciprocity, Israel must resolve Palestine, engaging in bilateral, regional or international diplomacy, as necessary, at the United Nations.
It would be a mistake for United States to prematurely blame Islamism-at-large for attacks on the Jewish people in Bulgaria. United States has little to be concerned with the rise of Islamist democracies in Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The Islamist renaissance, reestablishment of Ummah or the Caliphate, is in Ibn Khaldun of Tunis and Cairo (in Turkish, above, from me to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan).
Israel’s future is in, Arap Bahar, Arab Spring, albeit Islamist.

It is improper to blame all Islamists after Egypt’s elections for Bulgaria.

U.S. and EU Probing Money of Lebanon’s Hezbollah
By Jilan al-Fatayri
Al Arabiya News

The Lebanese banking sector is once more back to the limelight with EU Counter-terrorism Coordinator Gilles de Kerchove placing it on his agenda in a series of meetings he is to hold with a number of Lebanese officials to track down Hezbollah’s money, according to a report published by the Lebanese newspaper Annahar.
Kerchove’s visit to Lebanon is the culmination of pressure exercised on the country’s banking sector, the last chapter of which was a report issued by the U.S.-based non-governmental organization United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI).
The report, published in Wall Street Journal, accused the Lebanese banking sector of laundering Hezbollah’s money and of not abiding by the international sanctions imposed on Iran and Syria.
The Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice requested to track down Shiite businessman Adnan Hassan Tajeddine and gain access to his bank accounts. Tajeddine, who filed for bankruptcy in the United States, is accused of smuggling Hezbollah money.
Joseph Torbey, chairman of the Association of Banks in Lebanon, refuted claims that the banking sector in Lebanon in not abiding by international sanctions and called attempts at tightening the noose on it a conspiracy against Lebanon.
“This is a campaign launched by a non-governmental organization that has no official status to begin with,” he told Al Arabiya.
What helps this campaign, he added, is the publication of reports against the Lebanese banking sectors in prominent newspapers, which endow them with credibility.
“But at the end, there is no proof that claims in these reports are true.” …
Torbey downplayed the effect of UANI’s demand that American and European companies withdraw their investments from the Lebanese stock market and the fact that three companies have already done so and more are expected to follow. …

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a program of the American Coalition Against Nuclear Iran, Inc., a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran should concern every American and be unacceptable to the community of nations. Since 1979 the Iranian regime, most recently under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s leadership, has demonstrated increasingly threatening behavior and rhetoric toward the US and the West. Iran continues to defy the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations in their attempts to monitor its nuclear activities. A number of Arab states have warned that Iran’s development of nuclear weapons poses a threat to Middle East stability and could provoke a regional nuclear arms race. In short, the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran is a danger to world peace.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a non-partisan, broad-based coalition that is united in a commitment to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to become a regional super-power possessing nuclear weapons. UANI is an issue-based coalition in which each coalition member will have its own interests as well as the collective goal of advancing an Iran free of nuclear weapons.
The Objectives of United Against a Nuclear Iran
Inform the public about the nature of the Iranian regime, including its desire and intent to possess nuclear weapons, as well as Iran’s role as a state sponsor of global terrorism, and a major violator of human rights at home and abroad;
Heighten awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region and the world;
Mobilize public support, utilize media outreach, and persuade our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran;
Lay the groundwork for effective US policies in coordination with European and other allies;
Persuade the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people, and;
Promote efforts that focus on vigorous national and international, social, economic, political and diplomatic measures. UANI is led by an advisory board of outstanding national figures representing all sectors of our country.
