Egypt Sentences 529 Muslim Brotherhood Members To Death - Meanwhile Muslim Brotherhood Opens A New School In Kitchener


Egyptian court sentences 529 Muslim Brotherhood members to death

An Egyptian court sentenced 529 members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to death on charges including murder on Monday, a defence lawyer said, in a sharp escalation of a crackdown on the movement.

The ruling was the biggest mass death sentence handed out in Egypt's modern history, lawyers said.

Meanwhile the Muslim Brotherhood continues to grow in Canada... Muslim school set to open in Kitchener

A new private elementary school will be opening in Kitchener this September.

The school, to be called the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) Maple Grove School, will be the first Muslim school in Kitchener.

The Muslim Association of Canada is the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada - from their "about" page

"MAC's roots are deeply enshrined in the message of Prophet Mohammad. It’s modern roots can be traced to the vigorous intellectual revivalist effort that took hold in Muslim societies starting in the early twentieth century. This revival aimed at reconciling faith with the challenges of modernity and providing a clear articulation of balance and moderation in understanding Islam. In the Arab world, this revival culminated in the writings of the late Imam Hassan al-Banna and the movement of the Society of Muslim Brothers (commonly known as the Muslim Brotherhood). Al-Banna’s core messages of constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal empowerment, and organizational development had a deep impact on much of the Muslim world."

WOW, I didn't know that building had been sold. That is my biggest surprise... $5000 tuition per child per year is quite hefty.

I wonder how the curriculum will be monitored.

As well as it is for Christian Fundamentalist home schoolers.

so there

It seems like you missed the next paragraph on that about page.

"MAC is a wholly Canadian organization that operates only in Canada. Although MAC cooperates with many associations for the benefit of its members, communities, and society at large, it has no organizational link or affiliation with other organizations. "

Love reading this stuff and other bogeyman posts as they hone my mistrust of Arabs, Moslems, Blacks, Russians, Mexicans, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Democrats, Obama, Putin, Environmentalists, the NDP, Quebecois, French in general, Immigrants, and the Chinese.

Oh poop, I forgot climate-change scientists.

Expressing support for the same Imam does not imply that they are the same organization as the people being arrested in Egypt.

If you have not noticed yet, people can interpret the same words very differently.

Did you read up on the split in 06 - Tarek Fatah. Hardliners hate him.

More interesting, what do you guys think of the imminent mass execution of hundreds of people in Egypt? Do you think that is right?

Honestly I don't really care about the internal politics of Muslim groups in Canada. I am simply pointing out that the OP is factually incorrect.

Well 15 were acquitted, what is up with that eh.

It seems like the article in the OP is trying to use it as an example of why people should be afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood. It also seems to be worded in a way that would imply that these people were all individually convicted of many crimes, not that over 500 people were convicted of killing one man in a trail that took 2 days.

heeeeeey just because they gave you a choice focus (sort of) doesn't mean you have to pick up on the "social injustice" part

I don't know if "social injustice" quite captures the mass murder of 529 people properly.

But in some ways the structure of that article is really the most interesting part of this article. It would be interesting to have the OP clearly explain what role the imminent death of these 529 people plays in this article about a Muslim school opening up.
