| Hizbullah Examines Cooperation with Muslim Bro’hood of Egypt |
| 2004-01-26 |
| From Middle East Newsline.... The Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah has raised its profile in the Middle East and concluded a rare meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They will probably meet again at the big she-bang in Teheran. Islamic sources said a Hizbullah delegation met Muslim Brotherhood general guide, or spiritual leader, Mohammed Mahdi Akef on Saturday in Cairo. The arrival of the Hizbullah delegation, which included parliamentarian Mohammed Hassan Yaghi, was approved by Egyptian authorities as part of an effort to reconcile with Egypt’s Islamic groups, the sources said. Our 2 gigadollar/yr friends, the Egyptians. *sigh* Hizbullah and the Brotherhood were said to have agreed to cooperate on a range of issues. They included Brotherhood support for Hizbullah’s insurgency war against Israel as well as an effort to spread Islamic teachings that are common to both Sunni and Shi’ite sects. Ah, yes. More teachings, just what the ME needs, like a moose needs a hatrack. Akef praised Hizbullah for its program to advance Islamic interests. The Brotherhood leader, appointed earlier this month, said he intended to increase cooperation with the Shi’ite group in the Arab and Islamic war against Israel. The Muslim Bro’s of the ’Hood(or at least the leaders) are getting themselves on the Target List™. Once again, the solution is to cut off the financial resources they get from Iran for Hizbullah. There must be Saudi money in there too. Where do the boys from the ’Hood get their operating funding? |
