Iran's Mullahs and Egyptian Muslim Brothers Join Forces
ISLAMIST GROUNDSWELL FOLLOWS OBAMA-BACKED REVOLT
Historian: Obama Abandoning Israel
Bruce Thornton sees Barack Obama as a modern-day Neville Chamberlain, and accuses the President of abandoning Israel for the "Muslim world." Click here for the story.
Thornton is right. But Obama's foreign policy is far more menacing than mere appeasement. Whereas Chamberlain sincerely sought to preserve the peace in Europe but instead made war with Nazi Germany inevitable by misinterpreting Hitler's intentions--the naive British prime minister mistakenly believed that Hitler, who was bent on world dominance, could be placated with limited territorial concessions--Obama has both appeased and actually attempted to align with nuclear-arming, Islamist Iran and with Islamism in general. Chamberlain was an appeaser; but he was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer. At best, Obama is both an appeaser and an Islamist sympathizer; at worst, he's an Islamist supporter. As shown by is actions and words, he has tried to engage (appease and align with) every leading Islamist group, except for Al Qaeda and so-called irreconcilable elements of the Taliban.

Obama's 'Moderate' Muslim Brothers Want Sharia
While the Obama White House and his national security team accept the view of a more moderate Brotherhood, counterterrorism experts such as Steve Emerson and Walid Phares point to a political platform published by the Muslim Brotherhood in 2007. The platform called for a council of religious scholars to be set up to approve all laws passed by Egypt's civilian institutions. The platform also stated that Christians or women could not become president or prime minister.Sadly, Sharia law has tremendous popularity among Egypt's so-called moderates within the Muslim Brotherhood. they claim they want only an Islamic frame of reference for legislation, while conservatives noted that Article 2 of the constitution states: "Islam is the religion of the state and the principles of the Islamic Sharia are the main source of legislation."

Stalemate in Libya Could Lead to Partition
Will Libya split into two countries?
Maybe.
Analysts say rebel-controlled eastern Libya, which has traditionally been the center of Islamist activity in the country, and regime-controlled western Libya could split as a result of a prolonged stalemate.
The unnecessary, irrational intervention by the United States and NATO--on the side of Islamist-linked Libyan rebels--has failed to defeat Khadafy.

On Obama's Capitulation to Radical Islam
A powerful, must-read essay--over here--from Barbara Simpson. An excerpt appears below. Be sure to read the whole piece, and click here, too, for Obama's contrasting, Christianity and Islam quotes.
Barack Obama said the desecration of the Quran was "an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry. However, to attack and kill innocent people in response is outrageous, and an affront to human decency and dignity."Sorry, sir. The burning of a book is allowed under our Constitution – and not a word about the killers. Where is your outrage at the burning of Bibles or when Muslims torch Christian churches with worshippers in them?
