1. "Egypt seeking to grow cereals on
African farmland"
Middle East on Line via Egypt Daily News 13 Oct.'10:
Extracts:
The Egyptian government is hoping to cultivate wheat and
other cereals on fertile land in African countries to feed its growing
population of over 80 million.
In early September it signed a deal with the Sudanese government to give
Egyptian companies access to Sudanese farmland.
"Growing essential crops like wheat in other water-rich African countries
where fertile land is in abundance is an important solution," said Ayman
Farid Abu Hadid, chairman of the state-run Agricultural Research Centre,
which signed the deal on behalf of the Egyptian government. "Cultivating
wheat in other African countries will reduce the cost of imports."
According to some estimates, Egypt consumes about 14 million tons of wheat
annually, but produces only 60 percent of that. The Egyptian wheat subsidy
system has been coming under strain in recent months and Egypt has been
further affected by the Russian wheat export ban: it used to be a major
importer of Russian wheat.
The Egyptian private sector, which in the case of Sudan will be allowed to
cultivate 420,000 hectares, will take the lead in boosting cereal farming in
other African countries.
Saad Nassar, an adviser to the Egyptian agriculture minister, said the deal
would allow Egyptian companies to grow a variety of crops in Sudan's
well-irrigated Al-Gezira region south of Khartoum, and that the Egyptian
government's role would be restricted to offering the necessary technical
assistance.
Egyptian officials say African and Nile basin countries, such as Uganda,
Rwanda, Kenya, and Ethiopia, are high on a government list as potential
places in which to make agricultural investments.
They add that, apart from strengthening links with these African countries,
the move would help Egypt avoid depending on its limited water resources.
Several upstream countries recently began lobbying for a redistribution of
water from the Nile. These countries say two colonial era agreements -
signed in 1929 and 1959 - unjustly give Egypt and Sudan too much water,
leaving their own populations high and dry.

A Brit-Am
Exclusive!
Iranian President Ahmadinejad
Feared Being Shot by Israelis!
Backed Down from
Threatened Intention to Throw Rocks at Border!
In October 2010, Ahmadinejad visited Lebanon. Ahmadinejad had announced his
intention to throw a rock towards Israel over
the security fence on the border "to demonstrate his hatred".
On October 14, Ahmadinejad spoke at Bint Jbeil which is 4 km (2.5 miles) from
the border. Israel's Channel 2 Television said echoes of Ahmadinejad's
welcoming ceremony were audible on the Israeli side minutes before he arrived.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said Ahmadinejad, who has called for the Jewish state
to be wiped from the map, was bringing a message of violence and extremism and
was "transforming Lebanon into a platform for his aggressive plans against
Israel."
Israel had threatened to react if Ahmadinejad approached the security fence.
Not only was the Israeli response uncertain but there was also the very real
possibility of armed Israelis managing to act on their own initiative.
It appears that the president of Iran decided that discretion is the better part
of valour as many others would have done in his situation.
It is not certain whether we should be relieved that nothing untoward occurred,
or disappointed.

4. Bin Laden is 'alive and well and

Extracts:
Osama bin Laden is alive and well and living comfortably in a house in the
north-west of Pakistan protected by local people and elements of the country's
intelligence services, according to a senior NATO official.
The latest assessment contradicts the belief that the al-Qa'ida leader is living
roughly in underground bunkers as he dodges CIA drones.
"Nobody in al-Qa'ida is living in a cave," an unnamed Nato official told CNN.
He added that Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's second in command, was also living
in a house close to the border regions.
North Waziristan, in particular, has become a nexus for Afghan, Pakistani and
Arab militants as they plot attacks against NATO in Afghanistan.
Earlier this month, a leaked White House report accused Pakistan of playing a
double game by avoiding "military engagements that would put it in direct
conflict with Afghan Taliban or al-Qa'ida forces in North Waziristan".
5. The Muslim Brotherhood: Islam's
Global Challenge to the West By Moshe
Dann

brotherhood_islams.html
Extracts:
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is one of the most dangerous Islamic groups
in the world today, not only because it supports terrorism -- providing
political and financial support for its Palestinian branch, Hamas, for example
-- but because it is part of a global Islamist network and promotes an ideology
that encourages extremism and terrorism.
With branches in seventy countries and linked to major Islamic organizations,
the MB has an extensive and well-financed network of educational, social, and
cultural institutions which promote a strategic MB plan for Islamic dominance --
not through violence, but integration, becoming part of the national social and
political life, and the application of Shariah law. These connections give it
access to political power and explain why it and the organizations it supports
are courted by governments and NGOs.
Hillel Fradkin, director of the Hudson Institute's Center on Islam, Democracy
and the Future of the Muslim World, notes that the MB, founded in Egypt in 1928,
is the source of modern radical Islamic movements and an important part of
Muslim communities around the world. The takeover of the Gaza Strip by Hamas
changed the picture. For the first time, the MB had its own territory, a virtual
state, and an army.
According to an MB document written in 1991, its role in host countries is a
process of settlement called "Civilization-Jihad," which will "eliminate and
destroy Western civilization from within" and establish a "global Islamic
state." To accomplish this, through mosques and Islamic centers, the MB engages
in "coalitions," "absorption," and civic "cooperation," building parallel
social, political, and cultural organizations. Its guiding principles are those
of Hasan al-Banna, who established the Egyptian MB movement and was closely
allied with the Nazis.
MB affiliate organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
-- which grew out of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), a front group
fund-raising for Islamic jihad and Hamas terrorist organizations -- are not
outgrowths of popular or communal expressions, like Christian and Jewish
organizations, but instead are self-appointed representatives, combining a
volatile mix of religion and politics. Most MB organizations are funded by
Saudis and Gulf States, representing non-American, predominantly Arab Muslims.
The Muslim Student Association (MSA), the largest Muslim campus organization,
with more than 250 chapters at nearly every university, was also initiated by
the Muslim Brotherhood. Although the MB's current involvement is unclear, the
agenda is similar. Engaged in protests against Israel and disrupting pro-Israel
speakers and forums, assisted by left-wing student organizations, and, of
course, tolerated by administrators, this explains the upsurge of hostility
towards Israel; opposing America's involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Pakistan; and "American imperialism." Not limited to campus activities, however,
in 1981, the MSA and MB morphed into the Islamic Society of North America to
carry on its "after-school" activities.
In Jordan, the main opposition party, the Islamic Action Front, represents the
MB's "political wing." Islamists, they call for a boycott of elections, hoping
to topple the current government and assume control of Parliament. Although
banned from politics in Egypt and Syria and accused of being behind terrorist
attacks, the MB runs networks of social and charity organizations, giving itself
a firm popular basis.
The MB is also a major opposition group in Egypt and will be decisive when
Egyptian President Mubarak dies. Egyptian Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie
recently declared that "waging Jihad is mandatory."
The growth and spread of the global MB network appears to be the result of a
carefully planned organizational strategy:
(1) Funded by Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, and wealthy Arab Muslim families, the
MB promotes a strict interpretation of Shariah and Islamic rule through
educational, social, and religious organizations; in schools, campus
organizations, and study centers; and in Muslim professional and "civil rights"
organizations. Their extremist brand of Islam in the West, based on Wahhabism
and jihadism, however, is rarely exposed.
(2) Focusing attention on the Palestinian issue, they joined with "liberal,"
"progressive," and anti-Jewish elements around the world, especially in the
media, and now use their influence in the U.N. and international bodies and
agencies to demonize, delegitimize, isolate, and boycott Israel.
Though some academics and government officials try to portray the MB as
"moderate," the facts prove differently. "The MB actively seeks to destroy
America's status as a world power and to replace it with an Islamic power whose
foreign policy will be based on jihad and the spread of Islam."
