George Soros and the Muslim Brotherhood
In a recent interview with prominent TV journalist Christiane Amanpour, who never misses an opportunity to promote repellent moral relativism about fundamentalist Islam, Middle East analyst Marwan Muasher declared, The Muslim Brotherhood has been used for a long time as a scare tactic (emphasis added). This eyebrow-raising dismissal of legitimate concerns about the worlds largest Islamist movement went unchallenged by Amanpour no surprise there although Muasher did weakly concede this: that is not to say they dont have designs.
But there may be more in play here than simple fairness and wishful thinking on Muashers part. He happens to oversee research for the Middle East at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, funded by leftist multi-billionaire George Soros, one of the worlds most politically influential men. Soros is waging his own personal ideological war against America by shoveling seemingly limitless funds into organizations giving life to his progressive vision of social justice.
That vision, like the Muslim Brotherhoods, identifies America and Israel as the Great Satan and Little Satan respectively, who must be demolished to pave the way for a purifying, redemptive utopia. These common enemies unite progressives and Islamic fundamentalists in what David Horowitz has coined an unholy alliance. As Andrew C. McCarthy writes in The Grand Jihad, With their collectivist philosophy, transnational outlook, totalitarian demands, and revolutionary designs, Islamists are natural allies of the radical Left.
