It seems like the Nazis were very threatened and jealous of the Jewish people. Propaganda vilifies groups of people and has disastrous effects.

Omar I will take the time to look at the brotherhood, but I need to make sure that hatred or vilification of another group is not an occupying belief.

Also is the website completed? I clicked on a few links and it said, “service unavailable” for example “MB and the West”

IKhwanweb is the Muslim Brotherhood”s only official English web site. The Main office is located in London, although Ikhwanweb has correspondents in most countries. Our staff is exclusively made of volunteers and stretched over the five continents.
The Muslim Brotherhood opinions and views can be found under the sections of MB statements and MB opinions, in addition to the Editorial Message.
Items posted under “other views” are usually different from these of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ikhwanweb does not censor any articles or comments but has the right only to remove any inappropriate words that defy public taste
Ikhwanweb is not a news website, although we report news that matter to the Muslim Brotherhood”s cause. Our main misson is to present the Muslim Brotherhood vision right from the source and rebut misonceptions about the movement in western societies. We value debate on the issues and we welcome constructive criticism.

Crossroads Arabia with the laundering of the news….

My Orthodox colleague also points out that while clearly the Arab media can play tricks, the numbers don’t lie: 1,300 dead Palestinians, a good portion of the children. So if dead babies show up on the covers of the Arab press all the time, there is some truth behind this conscious (and cheap) appeal to the passionate sympathy for babies.

He also laughs and asks: “What do you expect from Hamas.” The implication being that they’re not extremely sophisticated folks, so their propaganda will reflect that. They don’t care if educated people in the West see though their efforts — what matters is the effect it has on Arab St.

When it was hard to fake a photograph, photographs could be trusted, more or less. Now, it’s so easy to create a fake that photos need watermarks or other distinguishing features to offer somewhat of a guarantee of their authenticity. Words, as I said, are so much easier to fake, to misrepresent, to use to lie. It’s a problem we need to be concerned about. It’s a greater problem when they are used to mobilize naive masses toward some political action. All it takes is a touch of plausibility—and that is certainly established when an educational system demonizes any other group or country—and the flames are lit and fanned.

Honest education, realistic assessments of other peoples’ goal and ambitions, the ability to think critically about information that is thrust in your face… all of these are necessary for a civil government and civil society.

In my view, the worst possible form of government is anarchy.

Years ago when I first started hanging out at blogs, I proved to the satisfaction of one Frenchman that the article he read that made him hate the U.S. was bogus, simply because it was clearly labeled “satire” and he missed that. He agreed but pointed out, puzzled, that even though he knew it was false, the hate the article induced remained. If that is the effect of an accidental manipulation, how much more effective is a deliberate one!

For too many writers it is the emotional manipulation that is important, not the truth. When caught, they respond that they are advocates and the precise truth and context is not so important. It can be very difficult to discern such advocates from the reporters, and by no means does everyone on the receiving end wish to do so.
