Kissinger sees little hope in the “Arab Spring,” nor is he optimistic about peace in the region following the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Hedegaard told me the growing presence of Islamic radicals throughout Europe will soon land on America’s doorstep. “If,” he says, “it hasn’t already.”
President Obama should listen to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the “founder” of shuttle diplomacy.
Kissinger told Bloomberg TV’s Judy Woodruff recently that he sees little hope in the “Arab Spring,” nor is he optimistic about peace in the region following the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Welcome to the party, Dr. Kissinger. Some of us who have been denigrated for taking seriously the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal to promote radical Islam worldwide are happy for you to join us in Realityville.
The New York Times headlined a recent story: “Muslim Brotherhood’s Statement on Women Stirs Liberals’ Fears.” What took them so long? It isn’t like the fundamentalist Muslim position on women is new.
Former Danish journalist and anti-Islamist Lars Hedegaard understands Islamic fundamentalism better than most.
A self-described “secularist,” Hedegaard has confronted the Islamist philosophy in the worst possible way. Last month, he was nearly assassinated by a jihadist pretending to deliver a package to his door. The man fired, the bullet narrowly missing Hedegaard’s head, the gun jammed and, following a brief tussle with Hedegaard, the man fled.
On a recent visit to Washington, Hedegaard told me the growing presence of Islamic radicals throughout Europe will soon land on America’s doorstep. “If,” he says, “it hasn’t already.”
Does anyone believe America is ready?
“The concept of Jihad,” he says, “is really not war in our sense of the word. ... It’s not two armies opposing each other on the battlefield. Jihad is an instrumentarium of hundreds of different things you can do to further the cause.”
Such as, I asked?
“One of them is terror,” he says. “One is assassination.”
Hedegaard says radical Muslims “know how to wage war because they’ve been at it for 1,400 years. I would say Mohammed as a strategist is unsurpassed. ... He has come up with a warfaring system that does not depend on a state. The warfare can even include factions that disagree with each other, such as Sunnis and Shia. ... At the same time they can wage war against the infidels. So as a warfaring concept, it is lodged in every man and woman’s head. That’s why it is so effective.”
Welcoming President Obama to Israel, op-eds in the official Palestinian Authority Daily implied that Hitler was greater than Franklin Roosevelt and that Americans were behind the 9-11 attacks.
Parse that, Mr. President.
