Egypt seizes 5 Muslim Brotherhood affiliated publishing houses
2015-09-02
The removal from public life and influence continues.
[AlAhram] Five publishing houses allegedly affiliated with the now-banned Moslem Brüderbund have been seized by the Egyptian government, a committee tasked with appraising and freezing the funds of the organization said in an official statement on Tuesday.

The committee decided to seize the publishing houses of Dar El-Fath Arabic Media, Arab Media Centre, Dar El-Fadila, Iqraa Publishing House and Hroof for Publishing and Distribution.

The former Minister of Information and runaway- since 2013, Salah Abdel-Maksoud, heads the Arab Media Centre.

The publishing houses were handed over by the committee to the Ministry of Culture. The culture ministry is expected to operate the five publishing houses.

The committee has thus far frozen the funds and taken control of over a thousand NGOs and nearly 100 schools allegedly affiliated with the Moslem Brüderbund, as well as seized the assets of over 700 of the groups' leaders.

#1  I never thought I'd think that clamping down on the press might be a good thing.

We still have some remnants of a free press in the U.S. Recently we had a couple of local Sheriff's make comments about radical Islam in East Tennessee. One such comment was "Islam is Communism with a God." Such comments have brought out the legions such as CAIR, etc. I think the LEOs have hit a tender spot. Think Chattanooga murders and it becomes clear why LEO is fed up.
