File under: Muslim Brotherhood

#1 Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany’s international service, is no more dependable than the AP or the NY Times. Ennahda is a Muslim Brotherhood outfit and has been for decades. Its leader Rachid Ghannouchi has long been placed in the hierarchy of the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen and yet DW takes no note of its history.

#2 Like Al Ahram, Deutsche Welle is a government communication project, so projects the opinions of the government on what should be reported and now. That said, both are available in English and give us at least some of the local and international stories Rantburg is interested in, so are useful to us here. Also useful as supplementary information to stories obtained elsewhere, confirming that information and adding additional useful details.

Yes. I did note as an in-line comment what Ennahda is; sadly, everyone except Al Ahram describes them and all other Moslem Brotherhood political parties as moderate because they prefer to obtain the caliphate by the soft jihad of the law and politics instead of the hard jihad of the sword like Al Qaeda, ISIS and other open jihad terror groups.

#3 Within a decade of its founding the Muslim Brotherhood created a radical jihadist element within its organization in Egypt. In time in was never radical enough for locos like Qutb, Zawahiri, and the like. The Brotherhood as now created has no blood lust Jihadist element, but it has on many occasions funded such movements when it thought proper. I am aware that the American left considers the Ikhwan a soft movement, but looks are deceiving. As is the American Left.
