CAIRO — The supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi emanated, called on Thursday for a jihad (holy war) to liberate Jerusalem from Israeli rule.

“Jerusalem is Islamic … and nobody is entitled to make concessions” on the Holy City, said Sheikh Mohammed Badie in his weekly message to supporters.

“The jihad for the recovery of Jerusalem is a duty for all Muslims,” he said, stressing that the liberation of the Holy City “will not be done through negotiations or at the United Nations.”

I hope the guys over in Egypt take a good look at what they are talking about. I don't care much for either side in the ME conflicts, but I don't see a situation where Egypt comes out ahead by war, or threat of war, or even the rumor of war.

The Muslim Brotherhood calls for the "liberation" of Jerusalem and the WORST you can imagine is "I told you so's" from the right wing? The WORST you can see?

You're more worried about the right wing being saying I told you so than all-out WAR in the middle east?

Fuck me sometimes I think I've seen it all... but then someone comes along and states "the worst part" is someone saying I told you so rather than the WORST PART being all-war to "liberate" a city solidly within a country's boundary.
