The Islamization of Knowledge in the New Egypt
Well, when you’ve got totalitarian ambitions, and you’ve already started locking up dissenting journalists, what’s the next logical step? If you’re the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi, newly minted president of Egypt, it is obvious: start banning books.
Morsi’s government has reportedly banned importation of A History of the Modern Middle East, a well-known textbook by William L. Cleveland (who died in 2006) and Martin P. Bunton. The Egyptian daily, Al-Ahram, says no reason was given for the ban. The reason, however, is patent to anyone familiar with the Muslim Brotherhood.
One of the highest Brotherhood priorities is the “Islamization of knowledge.” That, as I’ve noted elsewhere, is the explicit purpose of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, a think-tank in Virginia that the Brotherhood founded in the early 1980s. IIIT’s mission is to forge “a new synthesis of all knowledge in an Islamic epistemological framework” — to borrow the fitting description found in an important 2009 study, “The Muslim Brotherhood in the United States,” written by Steven Merley for the Hudson Institute’s Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World.
I’m waiting to see when Mohamed Morsi will literally call for the elimination of the Christians in Egypt. The Christians have already been attacked by the Muslim Brotherhood, but that was BEFORE Morsi was in power. I wonder how soon it will be when Morsi calls for the complete elimination of the Christians? And I’m not talking about anything as sophisticated as concentration camps. No, if you’ll remember in Rwanda hundreds of thousands were killed with nothing more sophisticated than machetes. It CAN happen again, and it will under Morsi. The big question is, will the world sit by again as yet another real genocide is committed? This is not tiny Libya we’re talking about, but Egypt. Will the world just look away if Morsi decides to eliminate a religious group he detests? This is the future Obama handed to the Egyptians on a silver plate when he threw Mubarak under the bus. I don’t know how Obama and Hillary Clinton can live with themselves.
Yes. The progressives will do nothing to stop the slaughter of Christians. Remember, they believe Christianity is the problem. I believe that is why the progs are so tolerant of the Muslims. They believe the MB will do their dirty work for them.
Essentially right. No matter how much the Christians suffer in the Middle East, they don’t care. The Right also essentially doesn’t care; both Left and Right in the West are aligned with Muslim interests. The West is on its death march.
There are supposedly some 10 million Christians in Egypt. No one there has any intention of killing them all.
So, how did you come to know the intentions of everyone in Egypt? You’re quite the mind-reader, apparently.
The koran requires that all kafirs be killed if they fail to convert to Islam and also that that any not killed be enslaved and heavily taxed. Islam reveals its own ugly self and you won’t believe it? For shame!
There are many relevant commentaries at my blog regarding this issue. This commentary at PJM is decidedly on target.
As to the MSA and its import, please read yesterday’s posting – ‘The Muslim Student Association (MSA)…Islamic Student Arm Of Muslim Brotherhood/Muslim Mafia…Huma Abedin Board Member…What Does This Mean?’
Also, see ‘Dhimmitude Comes To The US…Stealthily Knocking…Blowing Down Its Doors…A Nation (Mostly) Unawares’ – http://www.adinakutnicki.com
The rest can be found as you scroll down the Home page, mostly in July 2012.
Make sure to read ‘Fungible Definition of Who Is A Terrorist Invariably Leads To Support of Islamists In Syria, Sudan & Elsewhere…Embedded Policy Paper’ – http://www.adinakutnicki.com
This commentary demonstrates the immediate peril Christians are in due to the Islamic takeover. Sudan is Exhibit Number One, proving when politics and ideology trump morality.
Israel, with the de-Christianization of the West along with the US/EU Left/Right alignment to Muslim interests under way get prepared for a horrific struggle ahead. There are many of us in the West that support Israel but our governments are falling under the control of your and our enemies.
One of the highest Brotherhood priorities is the “Islamization of knowledge.”
Shades of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
Isn’t it every totalitarian’s wet dream to eradicate any person or idea that doesn’t support the dogma?
What is Morsi so afraid of ? Is Islam unsure of its claim to monopoly on the truth ?
The MSA’s purpose is to indoctrinate young Muslims in the thought of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, among other Islamist luminaries.
Every time the MSA is mentioned, I think of this woman. Watch to the end
How is this any different from what our own government is doing as it acknowledges via NOAA and the USGCRP 2012-2021 report that it is using the social sciences and education and communication to create a mindset for global change via Sustainability and Climate Change (their words, not mine) regardless of temperatures or the actual hard science. If reality does not cooperate with the statist plans in the US, our government plans to use its monopoly powers over education and the compliant media to simply reshape our perceptions of the reality we encounter day to day.
I have written a great deal about how much this Administration is seeking to ground American education in emotion to change future voters filtering mindset. We still have the books but are educators consciously seek to redefine literacy and use discredited methods to prevent fluent deciphering of print from being common anymore.http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/priming-delicate-minds-for-a-desired-disruptive-revolution-what-is-the-real-damage/
I wish that title was hyperbole but its is not. And to think that NSF has been giving grants to fund mind-altering systems thinking to boot.
At least in Egypt the censorship is visible. Ours has the same effect and is invisible with a sought permanent effect.
Much worse.
Yes, a less overt & obvious program to shape thinking & perceptions going on in the US but just as dogged and relentless.
Not to mention the Muslim Brotherhood’s ongoing agenda of stealth jihad in the US and a Brotherhood friendly administration that has invited Mohammed Morsi in September.
“…These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.” –Barack Obama, quoted as he observed Ramadan
I fear for the Christians in the Middle East. It appears to be a gathering storm for them. They can expect no hope of relief from this administration, who appears to be attempting to change the mindset of Americans from, “Islamists are terrorists, who hate our way of life,” to “we have much in common with their role in advancing justice, tolerance and dignity.”
This is beyond the pale. I can’t believe I would see the demise of America in my lifetime, but it is happening before my eyes. I am heartbroken and outraged at the same time. Just so we know what we are dealing with, here are some quotes from Obama. He can believe what he chooses, just so we all know.
http://thetruthwins.com/archives/10-quotes-by-barack-obama-about-islam-contrasted-with-10-quotes-by-barack-obama-about-christianity
Thank you for that link…great points of contrast. Around the time when Obama nixed National Prayer Day yet celebrated the next day with the Muslims by going to the mosque to pray, an islamic cleric stated that the day will come when the flag of islam will fly over the WH. I remember saying, it already is.
With the gov’t (DHS, NOAA, SSAdmin with more to come, I’m sure)purchasing ammo like it’s going out of style, it makes one wonder what the October surprise will be this election. When the WH openly welcomed Morsi, I believe it can be rightly assumed, relations between the current admin and the brotherhood are quite cozy. It was, afterall, our resources/military that were used in the overthrow of the gov’ts so the brotherhood could move into control. Sorry state of affairs worldwide no matter how you look at it. Thanks, Mr. McCarthy, for keeping us updated on our enemies.
One of the highest Brotherhood priorities is the “Islamization of knowledge.”
The U.S. Army is the very opposite in that regard. The U.S. Army, as one of it’s highest priorities, wants to ban all knowledge of Islam from within it’s ranks. But then the Muslim Brotherhood and the U.S. Army both are striving to be Shariah complaint just by different paths, so there is really no conflict here between them.
It haunts the West. Interpretation, reinterpretation and revisionism are the core mindset impulses of the Left. As opposed to God who tells us to call things by their right names.
Note the difference in how President Obama greeted Morsi and the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu.
Note also how President Obama has praised Huma Abedin as a “faithful American”!
God Bless the Liberals and Progressives of America! You are doing the work of the Islamists for them. Too bad in the end you clowns are just infidels.
Islamization of Knowledge. The ultimate oxymoron. These dirtbags won’t be able to grow weeds without help from the west. Great religion that needs to be spread by lies!
The Prophet Orwell said ” He who controls the present controlls the past”.
Kind of sounds like what has gone on in this country where the religion of liberalism has completely conquered our institutions and it now entering the phase in which it attempts to shut down all dissent.
Seems to coincide with Michelle Obama’s comment’s about “changing history” and the NASA administraitors outreach program to Muslims.
Anyone who doubts that the Islamiztion of the United States african american community is not a huge threat to our country and the goal of this administration is not paying attention.
The minor rift between Obama and some African American preachers should be monitored if not cultivated. Christianity is at risk.
i>IIIT’s mission is to forge “a new synthesis of all knowledge in an Islamic epistemological framework” …
The deep thinkers at IIIT are taking on a tough nut. At its beginning, Islam came from a near vacuum from little could be drawn from the pagans in Western Arabia. It’s an unkind but revealing fact that genetic selection going back at least a few thousand years before put the Arabs on worthless land. Thus was born the Arab gene pool. To disagree with that is to imagine that there had been no competition for the best lands, that the Arabs ended up selecting their dry, fallow, nearly waterless peninsula because they liked the climate.
This is why the Moslems expanded onto better land immediately after conquering the peninsula. It’s also the reason Islam is the nastiest belief system in world history. Nasty land begets a nasty, deperate people. It is also why the “Islamic epistemological framework” had no choice but to start by borrowing at knife point from the Jews, Christians, Zoroasterians, and then the Hindus. Maybe the geniuses at the IIIT will publish an historical of that.
“Islamic Epistemology” -LOL- after the world was treated to a “Bolshevik Epistemology” — and a “Germanic Epistemology” ?!? — How well did those latter two work out? Where are they now? At the price of how many millions killed? Why were they unsuccessful despite all of that “reeducation”?
Did Hitler and Lenin/Stalin not forget the essential METAPHYSICAL question? Concerning reality? And that (for all his shortcomings) Aristotle had a better key to that than Plato and Kant put together, that therefore their task was impossible? How long will Morsi need to discover the same? How many dead bodies will it take?!
Sad only the multi-million dead before that fact will be (re)established, also for Islam. Aristotle was real, as was his nearest (Christian) “descendant”, Spinoza (an ostracized Jew); Allah is pure fiction. Therefore, reality will win. — Only, pity the spilled blood! Weep for the ruined lives! Curse the looters, old and new! Double-curse their useful idiots!
Even here in Indonesia, the ‘world’s largest Muslim democracy,’ the Islamists are calling the shots, and a major publishing company,Gramedia, not long ago engaged in an official book-burning, overseen by senior Muslim ‘scholars’ to ensure suppression of material deemed haram.

Once we have the Sociopath-in-Chief out of office we must prosecute him for his many and various crimes and and lock his worthless backside up for life.The 69 million fools who put “it” in the White House need to repent in sackcloth and ashes. Every one of his executive orders needs to be rescinded.
We should cut the size of Government by about 80% and prohibit any federal borrowing for any reason. We must repudiate the national debt, end the Fed and go on the gold standard. Americans must have the maximum freedom possible in all areas of life. Finally, we must exile all the Reid, Pelosi, Holder types to a radioactive atoll far out in the Pacific and help them, thus, to repent.
