| #5 Doctors, lawyers, business owners, Sven. In the early days, that third way – the fascist way – attracted pius and patriotic Egyptians who wanted to bring their nation into modernity without losing its soul. Later too, when the alternative to army secular rule was Al Qaeda style radical Islam, the Brotherhood was seen as the Third Way and attracted same people. It was only one day one and election and took our power that it could be seen that they were nothing more than Al Qaeda in slower motion. |

| #3 All stolen from Egypt of course. The Muslim Brotherhood had put their own money into schools and hospitals and such in their Third Way seduction effort (Islam in the modern world for the Volk) since 1928. Hamas and Hizb'allah do the same. Even ISIS provides education and medical treatment for their Lions of Islam and the Lion Cubs and Cubettes -- Islamic government is rquired to provide such things out of their share of the plumder and the taxes they collect from the dhimmis. |
