Democrats Suddenly Find Terrorists Under Every Muslim Rock
Mainstream media like Newsweek trumpet a "list of Democrats" backing the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. What they conveniently omit is the long, sordid history of US intelligence agencies often aligning with Islamist groups, including factions linked to the Brotherhood, when it suited Cold War or regional geopolitical aims. The irony (or perhaps, hypocrisy) is
that the US has alternately courted, tolerated, or condemned such groups depending on their utility against larger rivals. One might wonder if this sudden Democratic consensus aligns with external pressures, given that Saudi Arabia and the UAE, major purchasers of US arms, have long pushed for this designation. Is it foreign policy or convenient geopolitical alignment? When an organization is only
'terrorist' when it's inconvenient, how many 'threats' are genuinely about American safety versus regional influence peddling? The double standards are less about national security and more about shifting allegiances and arms deals.
