State Department’s Hypocritical Silence on Egypt’s Regime against MB and Opposition
(39.14-41.48)
QUESTION: But the initial result shows that almost oppositions lost all seats or hardly made any, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Do you worry that them not being represented in the government, that might lead them now to become underground or go to more violent path?
MR. CROWLEY: Again, we had a detailed statement that described our concerns about the election. We’ll continue to raise these concerns with the Government of Egypt.

Egypt’s Upcoming Elections: Boycotts, Campaigns, and Monitors
As Egypt moves toward parliamentary elections on November 28, political parties are debating whether to participate in the process or to boycott it. The ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) is struggling to manage competition within the party for nominations, and opposition groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood are facing restrictions on their ability to campaign. Meanwhile, civil society groups are organizing and training thousands of election monitors.

U.S.–Egyptian Relations on the Eve of Egypt’s Elections
In a video Q&A, Michele Dunne looks at the history of U.S.–Egypt relations and explains how the United States can and should support political reform in Egypt. “The United States needs to find a way to show it still wants to work with the Egyptian government on the issues the two have always cooperated on—regional peace, stability, military issues, and counterterrorism—but Washington also needs to clearly support Egyptian demands for improved human rights and greater political freedom.”

Hey American - (A 'Ground Zero Mosque' song)
America isn't easy. Principle isn't easy. Living our principles takes genuine courage. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's just plain hard. But if we are to be the people or the country we claim to be, we must live by the principles upon which this nation was founded — or they are not principles... but pleasant and "convenient possibilities". - DAVID IPPOLITO, New York City

Tories refuse to ban full face veils, Tariq Ramadan vs Mona Eltahawy on the Niqab
The Tories practice the cancer of the left… “political correctness”. Whilst other countries around the world (including Muslim countries) are banning the full face veil in certain situations, the UK is falling over itself to appease. Strange how it’s not allowed to cover your face with a motorbike crash helmet in places like banks,
What does the coalition government get out of it’s stance in shutting down all debate? Is the UK a democracy?
Recorded from Newsnight, 19 July 2010.

Ramadan Tariq - First visit to US in six years
Once-Banned Muslim Scholar Tariq Ramadan on His First Visit to US in Six Years, President Obama and Why Muslims Should Make Their Voices Heard
We speak with leading Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan, who was banned from entering the United States for six years. In 2004, Ramadan had accepted a job to become a tenured professor at the University of Notre Dame, but nine days before he was set to arrive, the Bush administration revoked his visa, invoking a provision of the PATRIOT Act. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lifted the travel ban earlier this year. This week, he arrived in New York for the first time since 2004. Tariq Ramadan joins us in our studio to talk about the ban, his thoughts on President Obama, the importance for Muslims to make their voices heard, and much more. [includes rush transcript]

Web Chat with Egyptian Activist on the Ground
Khaled Saeed, a 28-year old man, refused to show Egyptian police his ID in a random raid on an Internet cafe in Alexandria. In response, the police dragged him out into the street and beat him to death, in plain view of witnesses.
It turns out that Saeed had posted a video exposing police officers doling out the spoils of a drug bust. The Egyptian Ministry has claimed that Saeed is a drug addict, and his cause of death was choking on a joint -- this despite numerous eye-witness accounts and videos of the incident.
Today at 12:30, Human Rights First is hosting a chat with Nora Younis, an award-winning activist in Egypt, to discuss this case and the broader question of government repression in Egypt. Nora was at protests following the murder and watched as police came down on protesters with further violence. Join us here or on ustream at 12:30. Send us your questions on Twitter @humanrights1st #khaledsaeed.
