While our liberal brethren blame the majority of our woes on the Conservative Republican philosophy and actions, the real villians are clearly evident and have been striving to turn back the world clock to the dark ages. The Muslim Brotherhood is a name seldom if ever mentioned by the Liberal media.
Funny how so much of the radical islamist philosophy parallels the liberal left views in many ways, an elitist leadership putting the general populace under fascist rule.
The Libs figure if we leave these bad guys alone, they'll just go away. In reality when they get done darkening the future of the middle east, Africa, and Europe they'll set their full attention on the US. By that time they will firmly entrenched in North, South, and Central America so we'll have a real a helluva time winning that battle.
Here's an excerpt ofwho the Brotherhood is:
Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in the city of Ismailia in March 1928 along with six workers of the Suez Canal Company. It was both a religious and a political and social movement with the credo is “God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Struggle is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations” . Al-Banna called for the return to an original Islam and followed Islamic reformers like Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida. According to him, contemporary Islam had lost its social dominance, because most Muslims had been corrupted by Western influences. The Qur'an and the Sunnah were seen as laws passed down by God, that should be applied to all parts of life, including the organization of the government and the handling of everyday problems.[2]
The Brotherhood also saw itself as a political and social revolutionary movement. Al-Banna strived to be a populist. The Muslim Brotherhood claimed to want to protect the workers against the tyranny of foreign and monopolist companies. It founded social institutions such as hospitals, pharmacies, schools, etc. However, in addition to holding extremely conservative views on issues such as women's rights, it was from the start extremely hostile to independent working-class and popular organisations such as trade unions. [2]
By 1936, it had 800 members, then this number increased greatly to up to 200 000 by 1938. By 1948, the Brotherhood had about half a million members. The Muslim Brotherhood also tried to build up something like an Islamist International, thus founding groups in Lebanon (in 1936), Syria (1937), and Transjordan (1946). It also recruited among the foreign students in Cairo. Its headquarters in Cairo became a center and meeting place for representative from the whole Muslim world. [2]

Look into how the BAATH party was formed and see how BAATHist socialism was created. The history of Saddam and Syrias' BAATH party explains a lot of why the left is so sypathetic twards Saddam. After all, he is one of their own.
