"The chaos in Syria, Israel’s northern nemesis and a major geopolitical actor in the Middle East, has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. The situation is rapidly approaching that of an outright civil war, and in such an eventuality, it is unclear who would replace the Assad regime, if it can be pushed from power at all. Although nature of the Syrian opposition movement is deeply uncertain, recent reports have demonstrated that the Muslim Brotherhood is definitely within its ranks."
Opinion:
In nature, a void is always filled. A void of leadership in Syria would open the door to the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB's goal, as stated by its founder Hassan al-Banna, was to reclaim Islam's manifest destiny, an empire, stretching from Spain to Indonesia.
The MB is a movement, not a political party, but members have created political parties in several countries, such as the Islamic Action Front in Jordan and Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank and the newly created Freedom and Justice party in Egypt.
While characterizing themselves as peaceful, which was confirmed by the US Department of Intelligence James Clapper, the Brotherhood was invited to the Cairo speech by President Obama. Only problem here is the guy in the picture below, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Brotherhood 'spiritual leader', is in favor of suicide bombers for Israel and preaches violence against Zionism.
Al-Qaradawi is not too thrilled with the US either: "America today is a second Israel. It totally supports the Zionist entity. The usurper could not do this without the support of America. Israel's unjustified destruction and vandalism of everything has been using American money, American weapons, and the American veto. America has done this for decades without suffering the consequences of any punishment or protests about their oppressive and prejudiced position from the Islamic world." Why was it again that the US demanded Hosni Mubarak be removed from power?
