Is The U.S. Administration Secretly Negotiating With Terrorist's?
Topics:Check out "Operation Charm Offensive Towards Islamists" at Tech Central Station, and then ask yourself what we are doing by sitting down with Islamic terrorists before they stop killing and maiming innocent people around the globe! Isn't it time that we recognize the Muslim Brotherhood for what it is - a terrorist organization with an agenda to destroy Western life and replace it with Islamic law?

I think this is an incredibly difficult problem, brought on by a desire to see things in black and white.
It's an unpleasant fact that an institution can operate on two (or more) different fronts at the same time. Whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or the Sinn Fein/IRA double, these organizations actually do perform legitimate, social services. But their other side commits terror.
It's fine and good for us to say, "If any part of your organization commits terror, then the entire organization is terrorist." But we haven't yet convinced a) most of the rest of the world, and b) those who derive useful--and sometimes life-saving--benefit from the charitable sides of the organizations.
It's hard to convince everyone that it's a "black/white" issue when others see various shades of grey.
