MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Their feelings were hurt, so according to Islam they had absolutely no choice other than to attack and kill any infidels they could find …

Sky News – “A US official has been killed and another wounded in Libya as an armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam attacked the US consulate in Benghazi.

Libya’s deputy interior minister Wanis al Sharef said: ‘One American official was killed and another injured in the hand. The other staff members were evacuated and are safe and sound.’ He could not say if the dead man was a diplomat.

In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, protesters climbed the walls of the US embassy, tore down the American flag and burned it.

The protests were sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the US, which the demonstrators say insults the Prophet Mohammed.

The US condemned the attack in Benghazi, amid reports that the mission had been set on fire and targeted with rocket-propelled grenades.

‘We can confirm that our office in Benghazi, Libya, has been attacked by a group of militants,’ State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

‘We condemn in strongest terms this attack,’ she added in a statement issued before reports of the death, which came on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.” Read more.

Flashback: Al-Qaeda Plants Its Flag in Benghazi, Libya – ‘Whomever Speaks Ill of This Flag, We Will Cut Off His Tongue’ – “Earlier this week, I went to the Benghazi courthouse and confirmed the rumors: an al Qaeda flag was clearly visible; its Arabic script declaring that ‘there is no God but Allah’ and a full moon underneath. When I tried to take pictures, a Salafi-looking guard, wearing a green camouflage outfit, rushed towards me and demanded to know what I was doing. My response was straightforward: I was taking a picture of the flag. He gave me an intimidating look and hissed, ‘Whomever speaks ill of this flag, we will cut off his tongue. I recommend that you don’t publish these. You will bring trouble to yourself.’” Read more.

By Bill Gertz – “U.S. intelligence agencies recently monitored a secret meeting between Egypt’s intelligence chief and a senior Iranian spy that is raising new fears the Muslim Brotherhood government in Cairo could begin covertly supporting global terrorism.

According to U.S. officials, the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Maj. Gen. Murad Muwafi, met in early August with a senior official of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

Disclosure of the Egyptian-Iranian intelligence meeting comes as the Obama administration is planning to provide $1 billion in aid to bail out Egypt’s new Islamist government. The administration is said to be seeking closer ties to the new regime in Cairo, following the ouster in February 2011 of long-time ally Hosni Mubarak.

Many members of the pro-democratic, anti-Muslim Brotherhood opposition in Egypt believe the Obama administration has made a covert pact to support the Morsi regime.

Meanwhile in Cairo, Islamic protesters on Tuesday stormed the U.S. Embassy and pulled down the American flag to protest what they said was a U.S. film production the protesters claimed insulted Islam.

U.S. intelligence gathering targeting Egypt has been stepped up over the past year as the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist party, came to power in June. The group’s credo includes the phrase, ‘Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.’

Since the revolution that led to the ouster of the pro-U.S. regime of Hosni Mubarak, a large number of radical Islamists have been released from prison and have gone back to preaching anti-Western and anti-Israel jihad, or holy war.

The meeting between Muwafi and the Iranian, identified by officials only with his last name, Gerami, set off security concerns because the Iranian spy service is a key player in Tehran’s international support for terrorism, as well as anti-U.S. and anti-Israel operations.” Read more.

Flashback: Senior Muslim Brotherhood Member Praises Shiite Leaders Of Iran (Video) – “This is a great stride towards Islamic unity in light of the events unfolding in the world. These are changes under Islam and in line with unity in the Islamic world and also aimed at ending the global arrogance led by the U.S…  the Islamic Republic of Iran … truly serves as a model of resistance against the West’s domination and serves as a model for the Muslim world … the number one figure in the Muslim world is indeed the leader of Iran … I am proud of President Ahmadinejad … I hope Iran is the model in all aspects, including justice, unity among Shi’a and Sunni, human rights, and respect for humanity.”

By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz – “In an unusual move, a U.A.E. security official explicitly threatened Iran with military action if the Islamic Republic attacks targets in the Arab Emirates through clandestine terror squads.

Speaking on Sunday to the al-Arabiya network, the chief of Dubai’s police force Dhahi Khalfan Tamim said that the U.A.E. had solid information indicating that Iranian teams have infiltrate into the emirates, saying that ‘the Gulf won’t sit still in the face of Iranian threats.

Adding that he had conveyed the same message to Iranian leaders, Khalfan Tamim said that if Iran ‘operated squads to damage security, well, we well eventually operate squads in its territory, since we won’t allow anyone to harm us while we sit idly by.’

The U.A.E. security official’s comments represent unprecedentedly aggressive remarks in the history of bilateral relations between the emirates and Iran, coming amid increased tensions between Tehran and Dubai over the control of a group of islands in the Persian Gulf.

Further on in his interview to al-Arabiya, Khalfan Tamim make another unusual remark for a Sunni official concerning the ongoing unrest in Syria, saying that he feared that the Muslim Brotherhood will take over the country, and adding that the group’s leaders were sitting in hotels in Turkey waiting to replace Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.” Read more.

The World’s Most Dangerous Terrorist After Bin Laden Is Openly Developing Nuclear Weapons In Iran – “Now that Osama bin Laden is at the bottom of the ocean, a new man has emerged as the world’s most dangerous terrorist: Qassem Suleimani. Although unfamiliar to most in the West, he is responsible for killing many thousands in cold blood – and masterminding the murder of more Americans than any other person on earth. Suleimani heads the Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard – the nerve centre of its global terrorist network. Working with Hizbollah in Lebanon, he has plotted, attempted and executed mass murder in dozens of countries. The centrifuges spinning in Iran are dangerously close to providing these ruthless global terrorists with a nuclear arsenal and protective umbrella.” Read more.

Jerusalem Post – “Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter on Sunday warned that the Muslim Brotherhood is co-opting the Arab Spring with the end-goal of creating an Islamic ‘caliphate’ that would span the Middle East.

‘What started in Tunis and continued in Egypt is ongoing in Syria, and will threaten Jordan and other Arab countries,’ Dichter said. ‘The Brotherhood already has an outpost in the Palestinian territories, in the form of Hamas.’

The keynote speaker at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism’s World Summit, Dichter added that the beyond infiltrating Israel’s neighbors, the Brotherhood’s more long-term goal is to gain control of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, where ‘there is already a massive movement of youth devoted to eradicating non-Muslim values from society,’ according to Dichter.

Turning to Syria, Dichter said that so long as President Bashar Assad remains in power, the Brotherhood can not achieve its aims. ‘In Syria, being affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood is tantamount to a death sentence,’ he said. However, Dichter warned that if the embattled Syrian leader were to fall, the Brotherhood could in fact take control of the country, which would have deep repercussions on Syria’s neighbors.

‘Who replace the Assad regime?’ Dichter asked. ‘Will it be the Sunnis? Or the Muslim Brotherhood? And if the Brotherhood takes control, how will this affect Jordan and Lebanon to the west?’

Dichter added that these questions were not abstract, and that Assad’s fall was a foregone conclusion. ‘The question is not whether or not Assad will fall, but rather when, and what will the country look like the day after,’ he said.

Dichter also addressed the Palestinian involvement in the Arab Spring. ‘The Palestinian case is special,’ he said. Recalling an anecdote told to him by an unnamed Arab, Dichter hinted that the Palestinian community is often disconnected from the rest of the Arab world. ‘There are three types of Arabs: Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, and Jewish Arabs. The Palestinians are the Jewish Arabs.’

Dichter added: ‘The Palestinians have not yet managed to enjoy the Arab Spring.'” Source – The Jerusalem Post.

West Bank: ‘Arab Spring’ Protest Hits Palestinian Authority – Is The Muslim Brotherhood Poised To Take Over? – “The Muslim Brotherhood, which has risen to power in the most populous country in the Arab world and continues to gain ground in Syria, is the parent organization of Hamas. If protests spread in the West Bank we may once again bear witness to the Muslim Brotherhood uprooting one authority and replacing it with another in its own likeness …” Read more.
