Juan Cole: Is Michelle Bachmann an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood?

[Bolo Boffin]

But the irony is that Bachmann is right. There is a figure in the Federal government that has suspicious ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. It is Michele Bachmann.

1. Bachmann is a major supporter of the MEK (Mojahedin-e Khalq or People’s Holy Jihadis), an Iranian terrorist group that joined in the taking of US diplomats hostage in 1979-81. The MEK was formed as a mixture of Marxism and Muslim fundamentalism, and was influenced by Sayyid Qutb, a major thinker of the …. Muslim Brotherhood.

...In all seriousness, the Muslim Brotherhood is not a centralized party. It has its own history in each country where it exists, and the leaderships don’t coordinate. The largest MB party is in Egypt, and it is not only not a terrorist group, it is behind the Freedom and Justice Party, which got 46 percent of the seats in the parliament and won the presidency. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood made a commitment to non-violence and to civil politics in the 1970s and is not a terrorist organization.

Still, it is very suspicious the way it has managed to recruit a Minnesota congresswoman to its cause.

2. Actually she's a dangerous crackpot

She's Glenn Beck in Congress. The rioting in Egypt where Hillary Clinton's car was pelted by disgruntled Egyptians was caused by Internet rumors started by Beck and promoted by Bachmann. This fomenting of anti American rhetoric by Beck and Bachmann is not only dangerous, it's treason. You supply the blindfolds and I'll bring the cigarettes.

3. Naw, no cigarettes or

blindfold. Let them see what is coming. Better yet, let's take the example of our French friends and what they did in their revolution in 1792.
