And This Guy Met with President Bush?

Middle East Media Research Institute has another good one. Today's excerpt is from Dr. Ahmad Dewidar's interview by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. He is the imam of the Islamic Society of Mid-Manhattan and a lecturer on Islamic studies at Manhattanville College

Dr. Ahmad Dewidar has met with President Bush, Governor Pataki, Rudi Giulliani, and Kofi Annan. So what makes him so special? Is it the way his interview sounds like a story from A Thousand and One Arabian Nights?

Some of the gems from the interview include the statement that Muslims were not the perpetrators of 9-11. Though he does come out and say it, the implication is that is was the US government that staged the attacks in order to implement a "New World Order". That American society will forget(fat chance of that) and that by their Islamic conduct Muslims will be shown to be innocent of the crime.

When asked how da'wah (da'wah (Arabic): The peaceful invitation to Islam for infidels; missionary work. Often used in lands where jihad is impractible. Clarity and Resolve) was proceeding since 9-11, he stated that the extremism was toned down and balance has been restored.

Of course there was the good ole standby that the Zionists(read Jews) control the media so that we cannot spread our ideas and spotlight our leaders and our successful models Of course, blame the Jews for all your failures.

He also blames the Jews for the spread of democracy and that to counter it, Muslims must improve their governments and establish real national regimes.

And last but certainly not least:

Dewidar: "In 1995 I heard some sermons that said that Muslims should march on the White House from some of the mosques."

Host:"What do you mean by 'march on the White House'"?

Dewidar: "One cleric said in his sermon: 'We are going to the White House, so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into the Muslim house.'"

Host: "How? I don't understand."

Dewidar: "This is simply a slogan. I'm only saying this to..."

Host: "Are they going to occupy the White House or what?"

Dewidar: "No, they say that through the domination of Islam and its ideas, the White House will change."

Host: "This will happen one day, but not this way. Islam will be victorious, no doubt, but not this way."

Dewidar: "It will not happen unless the Muslims abandon their slogans and become a role model. If a Muslim doctor who invents a cure in the hospital or performs an important operation successfully – all the media will broadcast it live and announce it worldwide. The Muslim who makes do with breaking the wooden podium, with screaming, and with patronizing, condescending rhetoric that "Islam is coming, and it will change the face of the earth," while at the same time he cannot even change the face of the Islamic capitals, which overflow with garbage – this path will lead to no good."

So throwing tantrums, killing 3,000 innocent people, screaming for jihad is not going to allow Islam to dominate the world? No, the Muslims must be more deceptive in their goal to have Islam dominate the world. Taqiya anyone?
