Of course the Muslims MUST hate America.it's part of Islam.
America is particularly satanic and reprehensible because, in direct opposition to Allah's will, it has codified the separation of state and church in its Constitution. B Progress? Now Even Egypt's Religious Establishment Hates America By Barry Rubin May 5, 2011 <http://em-sender4.com/fb/fb/EBA897FCEC0A5F0AD553E2DA92DC270F8088FBB34FDBFBE E483E9FB31400DE7B288E97E51B3C6F1CBFB3E3463B1A1E15/show.aspx> http://www.gloria-center.org/gloria/2011/05/progress-egypt-establishment This article is <http://em-sender4.com/fb/fb/EBA897FCEC0A5F0AD553E2DA92DC270FE4970C3F809813F 39F8C73A22797CFA05FB7B735D2BD2F4C25695156D247AE87/show.aspx> published on PajamasMedia. The text is presented here for your convenience. This is the kind of serious development that everyone better pay close attention to if they want to understand what's going on in the Middle East and how the West doesn't get it. The Grand Shaykh of al-Azhar, Ahmad al-Tayyeb, gave an <http://em-sender4.com/fb/fb/EBA897FCEC0A5F0AD553E2DA92DC270F1ADF691BF18DA0E ED089512B4DC03B53FBD88E553FE8E6BB0880D45B2F23CC3C/show.aspx> interview to al-Jazira. Al-Azhar is the most important religious center in the Sunni Muslim world. Up until now, its leadership has been controlled by the Egyptian government, which meant the government of President Husni Mubarak until earlier this year. That regime was a dictatorship. It appointed the head of al-Azhar and the mufti of Egypt. It controlled mosque sermons and which preachers went on television. Consequently, it limited their extremism and, knowing their careers were at stake, the clerics complied. They weren't real moderate but, for example, wouldn't think of passionately attacking the United States or calling for the abrogation of the peace treaty with Israel. Now everything is different. The people are the same as those who radicals once derided as Mubarak's "parrots," but to survive they must please different masters. The Muslim Brotherhood has publicly announced that it would seek to replace those deemed to be too pro-Mubarak among clerics and especially in al-Azhar. In future, it proposes that the top clerics be appointed by parliament, where they expect to have a very large number of seats. So instead of pleasing Mubarak, people like Tayyeb have to please the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, the leadership of al-Azhar just held their first official meeting ever with the Brotherhood in order to make some kind of deal. Therefore, while it is shocking it isn't surprising that Tayyeb now sounds like a radical jihadist. Responding to Usama bin Laden's death, he made the following points: --The killing of bin Laden by the Americans was an act of "piracy." --His burial at sea (supposedly done to please Muslims) was against Islamic law and is a "moral crime," the "mutilation of a corpse." --The main cause of terrorism is Israel's existence and actions. --The other big cause of terrorism is that Western countries seek to dominate the Arab world. Key forces in Egypt no longer consider America as an ally or bin Ladin as an enemy. Moreover, the highest Egyptian establishment and non-Islamist political authorities are now authorizing revenge attacks on America for the "crime" of killing bin Ladin. That's what the change in Egyptian politics has brought. Now, consider in contrast a relatively moderate-on such international issues-countries that are still dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. A leading Saudi cleric <http://em-sender4.com/fb/fb/EBA897FCEC0A5F0AD553E2DA92DC270F98FC5B7EB6D1550 29FFCED03860038EBC2B41AD80756600758A069C870CE5780/show.aspx> praised the killing of bin Ladin on al-Arabiya, the television network controlled by the United Arab Emirates. Al-Jazira, praised by American leaders and journalists, hates America. Al-Arabiya, which is ignored by them, is friendlier. What next? The U.S. government calls for the overthrow of al-Arabiya and its replacement by al-Jazira? * Barry Rubin is director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal.
