The U.S. and the Islamist government of Turkey haveannounced a $200
million fundfor programs that will supposedly promote non-violence
among Muslims in terrorist hotspots like Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
The total is to be raised over 10 years, with the U.S. provided $2-3 million(at first), along with Turkey, Canada, various European countries and
privatesources.The only other Muslim country mentioned as a partner
besides Turkey is Qatar.
As the sole Muslim participants in the fund, Turkey and Qatar will be the
ones crafting the Islamic message against Al-Qaeda.
The fund, called the Global Fund for Community Engagement and
Resilience, will bolster local programs like vocational training, social
networks and new school curriculums.
The thinking behind this fund is the same flawed thinking that upholds the
Muslim Brotherhood as the moderate, democratic, non-violent alternative
to Al-Qaeda. This logic was articulated by Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper intestimony on January 31, 2012testimony that
came afterhisprevious embarrassingly inaccurate explanation of the
Brotherhood:
Al-Qaeda probably will find it difficult to compete for local support withgroups like the Muslim Brotherhood that participate in the political
process, provide social services and advocate religious values. Non-violent,
pro-democracy demonstrations challenge Al-Qaedas violent jihadist
ideology and might yield increased political power for secular or moderate
Islamist parties.
If you believe that the BrotherhoodsPolitical Islamis the solution to Al-
Qaedas Political Islam (as does the Obama administration), then your
natural ideological allies would be Turkey and Qatar.
The tiny Gulf nation of Qatar issubsidizing the Muslim Brotherhoodand
acts like a bank for the Islamist cause. Al-Jazeera is based there, as is the
Muslim Brotherhoods spiritual leader Yousef al-Qaradawi.
Turkeys Prime Minister Erdogan was dubbed the"King of the Islamists"in
a Clarion Projectanalysis in March. His government sided with the Muslim

Brotherhood in Egypt and hesaysHamas isnt a terrorist group. Erdogan
has been implementingSharialaw in Turkey incrementally using
theIslamist doctrine of "gradualism."
A backlash against theSharia agenda of Erdogan contributed to thehugeprotests Erdogan faced over the summer.The protests are ongoing, but
arenot being covered by the Western media.
Turkeys neo-Ottoman ideology is promoted even in the U.S. through
theFethullah Gulen charter school network, the Turkish
governmentsembrace of Native American tribes, and Turkeys direct
involvement in the construction of Ottoman-themed mosques, like the$100
million mega-mosquebeing built in Maryland.
Instead of making alliances with Turkey and Qatar, the U.S. should instead
look to Muslim leaders like Jordanian King Abdullah II, an adversary of the
Muslim Brotherhood. He hasmarginalized the Brotherhood
oppositionthat threatened his reign by embracing liberal critics.
We should listen to what King Abdullah had to say about Turkey under
Erdogan. Hepointed outthat Erdogan once said that democracy for him is
a bus ride. 'Once I get to my stop, I'm getting off'."
Abdullah was referring to a statement Erdogan made in the 1990s before hetook power. Hesaiddemocracy is a train that takes you to your
destination, and then you get off.
Jordans King has also said that style and patience is the only difference
between Erdogan and former Egyptian President Morsi, who was
overthrown in an anti-Muslim Brotherhood revolution. He said, "Instead of
the Turkish model -- taking six or seven years being an Erdogan --- Morsi
wanted to do it overnight.
Unfortunately, Americas strategy will either create more Al-Qaeda recruits
by expanding the overall Islamist following, or -- if it works as intended --
will hurt Al-Qaeda but strengthen the other Islamist movements.
No wonder Muslim Brotherhoods supporters are happy about it.
