Richard Behar of Forbes Magazine joins Michael Coren to review the cluelessness of the Western media and governments toward the muslim Brotherhood.
Had this incoherent ramble appeared in a comment on 1389 Blog, we normally would have deleted it, as per our comment policy. As a rule, if we can’t figure out what something means, we don’t post it. But because these remarks were uttered in public by a head of state with Muslim Brotherhood connections…here they are.
Mohamed Morsi, the engineer and Muslim Brotherhood ally who became Egypt’s first-ever democratically elected president this year and who last week sent his country’s political system into chaos by granting himself sweeping new powers, appears to hold strong views on the 1968 science fiction film “Planet of the Apes.”
Morsi, in a lengthy interview with Time magazine, the transcript of which Time just posted online, abruptly transitioned from discussing the U.S.-Egypt relationship to the “Planet of the Apes” movie franchise. Morsi’s point seems to be about Egypt’s need to take responsibility for its own problems. Or maybe it’s about economic self-sufficiency. Or “the role of the art.” It’s really not clear. Here’s the leader of the Arab world’s most populous nation:
I remember a movie. Which one? Planet of the Apes. The old version, not the new one. There is new one. Which is different. Not so good. It’s not expressing the reality as it was the first one. But at the end, I still remember, this is the conclusion: When the big monkey, he was head of the supreme court, I think — in the movie! — and there was a big scientist working for him, cleaning things, has been chained there. And it was the planet of the apes after the destructive act of a big war, and atomic bombs and whatever in the movie. And the scientist was asking him to do something, this was 30 years ago: “Don’t forget you are a monkey.” He tells him, “Don’t ask me about this dirty work.” What did the big ape, the monkey say? He said, “You’re human, you did it [to] yourself.” That’s the conclusion. Can we do something better for ourselves?
I saw it 30 years ago. That is the role of the art. This is the very important role of art. Gone with the Wind has been treating social problems. Five in Hell. That was the Arabic title. Five Americans working behind German lines and they were using primitive military devices. I think it was Charles Bronson or something like that. My hard disk still carries a few things!

Update: New York Times Lede blogger Robert Mackey digs in to the Planet of the Apes script to try to untangle Morsi’s metaphor. Two important findings: First, as Mackey writes, it’s “difficult to say which scene, in particular, the president was misremembering.” Second, Morsi’s identification of “the big monkey” as a supreme court chief is even more ironic given that no such character exists in the film. Morsi, it appears, just has judges on the brain.
The new Egyptian President Morsi attended the Non align Movement meeting in Tehran, Iran. Some thought it was a sign that Egypt was getting close to Iran. I knew this was not the case since the Muslim Brotherhood hates the 12ther Shia. Well Morsi slammed Iran’s ally Assad. He called for helping the Sunni Militant rebels in Syria.
Egypt‘s president Mohamed Morsi has said that the “oppressive” Syrian regime had lost all legitimacy, in a blistering speech in Tehran that provoked the Syrian delegation to storm out and amounted to a stunning rebuke to his Iranian hosts.
During the first visit by an Egyptian leader to Tehran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Morsi said the world had an “ethical duty” to support Syria‘s rebels.
“Our solidarity with the struggle of the Syrian people against an oppressive regime that has lost legitimacy is … a political and strategic necessity,” he said.
“We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria. [We should] translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom.”
Morsi’s comments to a meeting of the 120-nation Non-Aligned Movement in Tehran amounted to a verbal handgrenade tossed at Iran‘s shocked leadership. Iran is the key regional sponsor of Syria’s embattled president, Bashar al-Assad, and one of his few remaining international allies.
The Muslim Brotherhood is on the rise. Iran and its allies are on the decline. This is an Islamic pissing match that we need to stay out of. Let’s get the popcorn out and watch our enemies self destruct. The Muslim Brotherhood vs. Iran fight is the greatest event for humanity so far this century!
