1. Note their symbol: two swords and the Quran. And some...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.07.11)
...in the liberal democratic and peace-loving circles of the west consider this organization as legitimate, Mr. Barack(ah) Hussein Obama included...!!
2. Finally Hussein Obamas wish came
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.07.11)
THROUGH...!!!!
3. Another Home Run from....
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (06.07.11)
...those same left wing folks that brought you the most incompetent, miserable, ignorant foreign policy misteps, since James Earl Carter kept grinning from the rose Garden for 444 Days. Hilarious Clinton and her employer the same people that told us Bashaar Assad is a "REFORMER", tell us that the Muslim Brotherhood, is a "secular and community based charity organization" that" feeds the poor, heals the sick, and speads good will throughout the region". Thanks Barrack. Thanks Hilarious.
4. Egypt will need a good bankruptcy lawyer.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.07.11)
This will be quite a fiasco. The ''Arab Spring'' should be called the Arab Bankruptcy. They import over 50% of their food & have foreign currency reserves that might last until September. After that, who knows how they'll pay for food? Tourism revenue is gone with no improvement in sight. The very wealthy & even the slightly less wealthy are sending their money out of the country. The Egyptian stock market is down the toilet. Soon, their currency will be worthless paper (it's already lost much of it's value) as they print money to pay gov't. salaries. Who the hell would invest in a state run by the Muslim Brotherhood? The Arab Spring is a joke, the Western idiots (like Obama & most of the media) are revealed to be total fools. Maybe Tom Friedman of the New York Times will write another of his BS articles to explain about ''democracy'' while Egyptians have food riots. Closer to home, maybe we can get Shimon Peres to talk about the ''New Middle-East'' LOL.
5. Brotherhood?!!!

8. brotherhood legal now
moron ,   galut   (06.07.11)
'progressives' will be happy although some will argue they were de facto anyway-thus no difference
9. Second term is a piece of cake, eh ?
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (06.07.11)
10. When are we going to legalize KACH
USA   (06.07.11)
11. To #1
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (06.07.11)
You consider that Shass is legitimate, so why not the muslim brotherhood? You should be fair play
12. there goes Democracy...down the drain
citizen   (06.07.11)
the Brotherhood will be voted in and, just like Hamas, the party will eventually take over and impose a reign of terror. Poor Egyptians, they know not what awaits them.
13. egypt
miriam ,   israel   (06.07.11)
Very true hiow could the west be so blind they would not know the meaning of democracy if it hit hem in the face
14. will he take the title?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.07.11)
It is still early to know whether Obama will take the title of "Worst American President" from Carter, but handing the Suez Canal and the Eastern Mediterranean to Islamist control (together with modern American tanks, aircraft and cruise missiles) is a pretty step. Probably taken together with the hatred he is planting in the hearts of Libyans, he will beat Carter. That said, I am still willing to bet that Saudi Arabia will fall when Obama is still in power and then poor Carter will have no chance.
15. goodbye peace treaty, hello sinai
david ,   uk   (06.07.11)
16. Just wait until they take control...
Mazal tov Obama ,   USA   (06.07.11)
THEN you will see how "non"-theocratic they will be.
17. JUSTICE? FREEDOM? IN ANY ARAB ENCLAVE?
stude ham   (06.07.11)
undoubtedly the tooth fairy and santa claus thrive in the same vein. what propaganda pap... and what a disastrous (but highly prdictable) consequence of the stupidly ignorant policies of that obama.
18. Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood & Oduma
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (06.07.11)
Who would have known that Egypt would have legalized the Muslim Brotherhood after its' "Arab Spring"!!!??? Why, none other than that illegal alien Muslim poser from Kenya in the white house!!! He and his handlers knew exactly that this was going to happen and it is all designed to DESYTOY Israel!!! As soon as the Israeli voters wake up and discover that ALL of those posers in Lukid are on the same side as our poser, and vote in a REAL Jewish government, you can expect TWO THIRDS of you Jews perishing in the NEXT holocaust that is being prepared for you by oduma & Co.!!! It's way past time for you people to WAKE UP!!!
19. if it was non theoretic it wouldnt be the muslim brotherhood
zionist forever   (06.07.11)
They are going to try and develop a nice respectable image, make themselves look like professionals with big plans to make Egypt an economic and military superpower. Once they are in office they will gradually introduce more and more radical islamic legislation as time goes by. The MB are not officially putting up a candidate for the presidency. Don't want to give the image that the MB may control the parliament and presidency. They have though been backing El Baradaei from the start and he is officially does not represent any party. Convenient the MB have no official candidate of their own but backing El Baradei. We saw it in Turkey when Erdogan said he was going to be secular and then he sided with the radical islamists. Now we are probably going to see the same in Egypt with the people who promise to be secular turning out to be islamists. Already the caretaker military government is cosying up to Iran so with or without the MB the islamists are going to have a role in future Egyptian politics.
20. Let's congratulate Obama on his success of finally
JBI   (06.07.11)
enabling the Islamists of Egypt to be part and parcel of the political fabric of that country and gradually - or perhaps not - turning it into the Iran of North Africa. In assisting them is Hamas, the off shoot of the Muslim Brothrhood in Gaza and elsewhere who already control Gaza and will now try to move into the Sinai Peninsula. Congratulations, Mr. President.
21. muslum obumma just gave egypt $1 billion, forgave the same
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.07.11)
from past loans. Now do you believe he really loves America?
22. Good news for the Palestinian people & bad news for israel
christian palestinia ,   las vegas   (06.07.11)
Change is finally coming to egypt and it will spread from egypt all over the arab world. The window for israel to withdraw and make peace is getting smaller each day.
23. Their going to make Mubarak look like a saint.
Bless israel.   (06.07.11)
Egypt's never known any democracy ( nor has any muslim nation as far as I know ). The muslim brotherhood will murder more Egyptian's than Mubarak ever dreamed of and the Egyptian's will be more poverty stricken than ever before. Poor damn dummies.
24. #4 Terry,What makes you think that M.Brother... ,
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.07.11)
and their ideological likes ,care about bankruptcy and this kind of things? This organization was born as a movement to combat secularism and any kind of westernization. We've better be asking what do they aim. Perhaps the return to dwelling in tents to the whole world and to hunting as a mean to feed nearly 9 billion people? These people are backwards people and I am afraid that many people in this world have been thinking on them in a stupid nostalgic and "poetic"way,a way that will draw all them to hell. Better the world wakes up about the surrealistic Arab project to the world because if not,a big nightmare will come.We can bet!
25. sinai
egyptian and proud ,   cairo   (06.07.11)
yea to have your ass kicked once more, goodbye peace treaty means goodbye israel, don't you ever learn the lesson

zionist forever   (06.07.11)
Just the opposite the bankruptcy lawyers will be moaning about loss of business whilst the bankers are enjoying their bonuses. Obama gave around $600 million as a gift to Egypt to make up for the lost income from tourism during their little revolution. Giving hundreds of millions to a country to make up from lost income as a result of a domestic problem is unheard of in US history. Democrats Joe Liberaman and the moron John Kerry who believes every word Assad tells him want the US to give Egypt even more money. Canceled $1 billion of debt and gave more loan guarantees to Egypt along with promising large US investment in Egypt. At the G8 summit the allocated around $3 billion to invest in the arab states having revolutions both in cash handouts and investments. Peres is an iidiot if he thinks this New Middle East will be for the better. He should asking himself why Egypt has cut off the gas to Israel, opened of Raffah and even non islamist parties are saying the peace treaty is outdated and must be renegotiated.

28. # 14 both Carter and Obama are the best politicians Arab
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.07.11)
money can buy. Both will go down as equally bad Presidents and enemies of the G-d chosen land of Israel for some $$ for their libraries that no one will visit. Two words of advice, VOTE REPUBLICAN !!!
29. The US President Hussein...just allowed a coup
BJL   (06.07.11)
In Egypt... The Muslim Brotherhood is like Hizbollah in Lebanon. They will take over. They will break the treaty with Israel. They will shut off the gas to Israel and.... there will be war. Thanks Hussein...further proof he hates Israel and the Jews.
30. Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood
Brod ,   USA   (06.07.11)
By dethroning America's Ally-Mubarak, Obama like Carter ushered in the most fanatical Islamist-Jihadists called the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt just as the fanatical Ayatollahs took over Iran. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Wahhabhists and the Ayatollahists are the Sponsors and Fathers of all Islamist-Jihadist terrorism around the world! Obama-the closeted Islamist-Jihadist triggered it. The Free World and Congress must be wary of this move. Congress should impeach Obama for undermining America's allies and ushering into power America's number one enemy.
