I've Been Thinking:Mohammed Badie is the head of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood. He was elected to the position in 2010. His views are the views of the Brotherhood - and they are biting.
Recently, the Muslim Brotherhood sent out an announcement with his insight and posted the message on their website.
Badie issued a scathing attack against Jews. He said that Jews were spreading corruption and that Zionist only knows force.
"It is time for the Muslim ... to unite for the sake of Jerusalem and Palestine after the Jews have increased the corruption in the world, and shed the blood of (Muslims)."
The United States has made no comment about this diatribe. The new president of Egypt has said nothing.
Re Egypt: The significance is that these messages are playing to the extremes in Egypt and Morsi is from the same party as Badie and to disavow them would be difficult.
Re the US: The US cannot do business with a country and a leader that does not at least attempt to control this kind of racism when it is being used to galvanize the people is such a demagogic fashion.
I am waiting for the United States to respond. I am not holding my breath.
