#1 Too much for my tiny brain to wrap myself around, but it seems like when he was younger he was a terrorist, probably in line with MB. Now as a "journalist", when he is too old to fight, he continues his jihad by advocating that the Middle East needs MB to take over as the dominant political driver so they can get terrorism under control.

What am I missing?

#4 And why should I pay attention to the byzantine machinations of the middle east?

All it reminds me of is Dune without the worms.

#5 Trying real hard to care but I just can't.

I think the only real reason this is still in the news is the Media claimed him as one of their own and they hope it can be used to hurt Trump (even if doing so screws up the middle east).

#6 NOT a journalist. He was a Journolist - a paid provider of anti-American/anti-Saoodi ties. A MB whore.

the MSM is using this to try and damage Trump and Saudis. Did anyone know/care who this mook was before this? No. I still don't

#9 "Now as a "journalist", when he is too old to fight, he continues his jihad by advocating that the Middle East needs MB to take over as the dominant political driver so they can get terrorism under control. What am I missing?"
In its history the Muslim Brotherhood has spawned at least a half-dozen terrorist organizations in Egypt alone, and two in Jordan. The Ikhwan itself created in 1942-43 a terrorist element, the so called Special Section, which had within it a 'secret apparatus' whose activities remained most secret. Its reduction has never been admitted. When Morsy took over in Egypt following the Arab Spring he freed the terrorist convicts (who have since led the Islamist movement in the Sinai) and then began to prorogue the political parties. Thus, when Islamists like Khashoggi start talking 'democracy' best to check your wallet.
