Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood leader calls for ouster of PM
The Associated Press July 1, 2011
The leader of Jordan's largest Islamist opposition group has called on people to topple the country's prime minister as 2,000 protesters took to the streets demanding he resign.
Anger has been rising over a decision by Jordanian lawmakers to clear Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit of involvement in a casino scandal during his previous 2005-2007 term.
Pro-government protesters, with portraits of Jordan's King Abdullah, shout anti-opposition slogans during a demonstration after Friday prayers in Amman June 3, 2011.
Muslim Brotherhood leader Hamam Saeed told nearly 500 people in a speech Friday that if Jordanians want "freedom," they must "rise against their corrupt" prime minister.
Jordan has been rocked by four months of street protests pressing for economic and political reforms and inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world.
The Muslim Brotherhood has made waves as of late, with rumors that the United States is engaging in dialogue with the Islamist group in Egypt.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clarified, however, on Thursday that the United States has not changed its policy toward the group, saying that the Obama administration “is continuing the approach of limited contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood that has existed on and off for about five or six years”.
The U.S. secretary of state added that “we believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to nonviolence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency.”
Clinton therefore clarified that the Obama administration welcomes dialogue, but only “with those Muslim Brotherhood members who wish to talk with us”.
My Comment:
The Muslim Brotherhood is the force and influence that has been and is instrumental in attempting to remove Middle Eastern political rulers and replacing them with Islamic styled governments
I would suggest by speculation that this umbrella movement may turn out to be one that will produce 10 prominent leaders setting the backdrop for the rise of Satan's beast in the 11th little horn described in Daniel and Revelation
This association of Islamic "brotherhood" seems to be able to effectively muster the masses across the region ..... and the objective is to rule with Islamic Law [a theocratic government] .... not the empty folly and false hope of the western nations that the Middle East is moving toward western styled democracy

Islam fronts as a religion of "peace" [looks like a lamb], but its underpinnings produce words and actions of violence [speaks like a dragon]
And by "peace" shall the little horn destroy many [his skewed rational for bringing a false Islamic peace]
This little horn will rise among the transgressors of the Islamic Middle East who hate Israel, Jesus Christ, and the USA .... and Satan is the rat in the wood pile [
