| EFL from WaPo - the writers don't seem to have a problem with the following occurrence. I suspect that embracing the Moslem Brotherhood would be attempted agin in a Kerry presidency. When U.S. immigration officers in New York City whisked away Ishaq Farhan as he stepped off an incoming international flight in May 2000, his Jordanian diplomatic passport was no help to him. Federal agents questioned him for hours before barring his entry into the country. Then they made him pay for the flight back to Jordan. The U.S. Embassy in Jordan lost no time making amends to Farhan, a leading opposition politician who has been closely affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide movement opposed to Western influences. A State Department official visited his home, issued him an immediate visa and passed on the United States' "deep regret for the difficulties Dr. Farhan experienced." The episode demonstrates the U.S. government's dilemma. Some federal agents worry that the Muslim Brotherhood has dangerous links to terrorism. But some U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials believe its influence offers an opportunity for political engagement that could help isolate violent jihadists. [...] the writers of this piece seem to portray this episode as an example fo embracing diversity. |

| #14 Golly, Zenster -- what lovely big words you know! I think Communents are meant to be the denizens of communes. Ie, hippies ;-) You know, all about peace, love and drugs, man |

| #13 #9 I thought we were Zionists, anon. And the nazis are on your side Permit me to clarify for you, Atomic Conspiracy. All things are possible when examining the microcosmic portion of reality viewable through the fractured and opaque prism of Islamist thought. Embracing the breathtaking periscopic (colonoscopic?) vistas of such twisted dementia permits the existence of even such unique and exotic fauna as Zionist Nazis. I hope this clears things up for you. |

| #12 AC, did you notice the date of the incident. It looks to me as if the State Depart was inviting the Moslem Brotehrhood to America for a visit and the FBI was trying to protect us. |

| #11 It's odd that media-conformist lefties are so fond of calling people nazis when the entire philosophy of the media-left, from Goebbels inspired rhetoric to hatred of Jews and admiration for common criminals, is directly derived from the neo-romantic fantasies of National Socialism. In treating this as a deadly insult, they condemn themselves and make their well-deserved self-loathing all the more obvious. |

| #6 The U.S. Embassy in Jordan lost no time making amends to Farhan, a leading opposition politician who has been closely affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide movement opposed to Western influences. A State Department official visited his home, issued him an immediate visa and passed on the United States’ "deep regret for the difficulties Dr. Farhan experienced." The episode demonstrates the U.S. government’s dilemma. But some U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials believe its influence offers an opportunity for political engagement that could help isolate violent jihadists. Seems to me the "government's dilemma" is the presence of officials that think appeasing or negotiating with terrorists and/or terrorist sympathizers is a viable strategy. |

| #5 "Diversity?" The Muslim Brotherhood is a racist organization that would no doubt join the KKK in fighting the "Zionist/Negro occupation" in America, as they do in Iraq. With its stereotyped and pitifully transparent attempts to conceal and encourage Eurabian bigotry, the media/academic multi-cult is a trojan horse for genocidal racism. I have a new policy that will ignore the media cover-up and academic dhimmi propaganda, and address the real issues in this war: for every African murdered or abducted into slavery, 100 Saracen terrorist prisoners will be hanged. For every African village or Israeli bus destroyed, one Eurabian city will be bombed to the ground. |

| #3 Let's play "good cop / bad cop." The good cop keeps issuing him a visa and the bad cop keeps turning him around and sending him back. Works for me, and he can get lots of frequent flyer points. |
