Over 75% Of ‘Moderate’ Egyptian Americans Voted For Islamist Candidate


When the banner of Islam is raised and the call goes out for the Ummah to rise up and spread “peace and justice” for the cause of Islam, this could be the type of “moderate Muslim” who will be moderate no more …

By Nonie Darwish – “While Egyptians inside Egypt were split in their vote in their recent election, Egyptians living in the West were overwhelmingly in support of the Islamist candidate. Indeed, many Egyptian Americans who have dual citizenship and are living in America voted at Egyptian consulates throughout the United States. They did so both in the primary Egyptian elections, which occurred a few weeks ago, and now in the recent final elections for president of Egypt between the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Mursi and the former Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq.

Both Alarabiya TV and Egyptian national TV reported that Egyptian immigrants voted 75% in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood candidate in the primary. Now in the final elections, again Egyptian immigrants voted over 75% for Mursi. If we consider the Christian Egyptian Americans who voted for the former prime minister of Egypt, the percentage of Muslim Egyptian Americans who voted for Islamists could have reached over 95%.

While voters inside Egypt are almost equally split 50/50 between Sharia and no-Sharia, we find the votes of American Egyptian Muslims reflecting an unprecedented level of radicalization that surpasses most Muslim countries. This should be very troubling to Americans, especially to those who care about Homeland Security.

Over the last 3 or 4 decades, American Islamic groups and mosques have managed to radicalize a large number of Muslim Americans, especially those who attend mosques. While they publicly tell us they are ‘moderate’ and that there is nothing to fear from Islamic law, they turn around in private and hold the banner of jihad and Sharia and command Muslim Americans not to assimilate in America.

Muslim immigrants to the West have, in general, rejected taking the hard role of positively changing their countries of origin and inspiring them with new ideas of freedom, democracy and human rights. Instead, Muslims in America have focused on building mosques with aid from Saudi Arabia rather than protesting against Iran’s execution of apostates and stoning of women. They have focused on defending and lying about Sharia in America rather than teaching values of life liberty and pursuit of happiness to their countrymen. They have focused on a message of anti-Semitism, blaming America and holding Israel apartheid weeks, rather than on assimilating in America, initiating peace dialogue or holding an olive branch out to Jewish students.” Read more.

Flashback: New Study Shows That 80% of Mosques in America Teach Jihad Violence and Islamic Supremacism – “… Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study. Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity ultimately to impose Islamic rule. And now comes yet more confirmation that mosques in the U.S. are teaching these things, and again the percentage is remarkably similar: around 80% of mosques are found to be teaching jihad warfare and Islamic supremacism. This study is extensive and detailed.” Read more.

    Is this a surprise when their only other choice is a Mubarak crony? What I don’t understand is why anyone in egypt voted for the Mubarak crony. I suspect the Islamist will be less corrupt, at least at first.

    The Arab spring is truely going to the dogs. Used to be the only country that has two bad choices in elections was the US.

    One reason might be what the Muslim Brotherhood has promised to do to Christians if they are elected: https://midnightwatcher.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/egyptian-christians-rally-behind-brotherhood-rival-despite-islamist-threat-of-armed-action/ There are about 10 million Christians in Egypt and it is probable a large majority of them voted for Shafiq.

    Under Mubarak, though he was a dictator more or less, Christians did not undergo the kind of persecution they are likely to encounter under Muslim Brotherhood leadership.

    As bad as the former aristocratic government was, under Mubarak women had more rights, Christians were safer, the peace treaty with Israel was ensured, and Egypt was a safer place to live overall. If Shafiq is declared the winner of last week’s presidential election by the ruling military council, Islamists will not only blame the military for “stealing” the election, they will also blame Christians for their loss.

    That is how it works, like Genesis ten suggests in the Table of nations where the various peoples come from, Europe and the ME historically worked nation against nation, tribe against tribe, clan against clan, we see this in Africa, the ME and Asia – the tribes, the clans, its ruling powers of families like the Sauds, it skin color, its religion against religion, and sects against sects within a religion, and brothers against brothers.
