Twelve Christians dead. I Googled “Coptic Christians in Egypt burn mosque.” Google did not find one instance. To be fair, I Googled “American Christians burn mosque.” Same result. NONE. So I finished the job; Googled “Christians burn mosque.” NOTHING  GOOGLE CANNOT FIND ONE REPORT WORLDWIDE OF CHRISTIANS BURNING A MOSQUE. If you can’t find time to read a Robert Spencer book on Islam, memorizr this paragraph.

FrontPage Mag: The New Egypt: A Gateway for Terror?

According to Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Elaraby, the border between Egypt and Gaza will be opened permanently within seven to ten days. Elaraby characterized the Mubarak regime’s previous cooperation with Israel as “shameful,” adding that Cairo wants to “relieve the Palestinians of their daily suffering.” Egypt’s Chief of Staff of armed forces, Sami Anan, went further. ”Israel does not have the right to interfere in Egypt’s decision to open the Rafah border. This is an Egyptian-Palestinian issue,” he wrote on his Facebook page.

Egypt’s New Hitler

Robert Spencer Wrote In Today’s FrontPageMag.com:

With the Muslim Brotherhood almost certain to play a substantial role in the next Egyptian government, looming in the background is the man that Der Spiegel described this weekas “the father figure of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood”: Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Qaradawi has been praised by Saudi-funded Islamic scholar John Esposito as a champion of a “reformist interpretation of Islam and its relationship to democracy, pluralism and human rights.” But numerous statements of Qaradawi demonstrate that he anything but a “reformist” or a genuine champion of “democracy, pluralism and human rights” – and is, in fact, positively Hitlerian in his Jew-hatred and bloodlust.

I have been writing about EGYPT’S OWN AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI since this past February 21^st. I was able to declare Egypt a Muslim Brotherhood Islamist state in the making. This was just after I predicted January 30^th that Egypt was headed towards Islamist Shariah, not freedom. Qaradawi arrived in Egypt Thursday, February 17^th, six days after Obama drove Mubarak from power and the day before a huge “freedom” celebration was scheduled along with Friday prayers for February 18^th. Qaradawi was there to take over and did the speaking to an estimated 2 million “freedom” celebrants. That day, Qaradawi was “The Man” and Israel was put on notice. I conservatively and mistakenly called Qaradawi one of the 500 most influential Muslim in the world. He actually ranks fifth. With the focus (naturally) of American news on Libya and elsewhere this spring of Arab Burning, Egypt is quickly transforming into a real anti-American and anti-Israeli Islamist enemy.
