Thank you SO MUCH for responding to my concern. As an American, this is what I have to put up with when dealing with Arab culture and politics and any political organization dealing with Islam. You can't explain the accurate realities of the MB without getting the Israel card thrown at you persistently.
This is what comments are about: helping each other with valuable information. Thanks for your help. Peace!
Can anyone please answer this question: One of the biggest questions I get thrown at is the Muslim Brotherhood is anti-West and anti-Israel. What is the truth behind that? Every article I read talking about the myths of the Muslim Brotherhood neglects to mention this. What is the best response to observations like that? How come no one is addressing it? Thanks!
Some helpful suggestions would be great. No false equivalencies would be great ... and I mean this with all sincerity.

Juan, the big difference with Joe Scarborough was that he came on as an oped writer, not a news network anchorman who is supposed to be politically independent in the first place. Unfortunately his show morphed into an opinion show and MSNBC is responsible for greying the journalistic boundaries.
On top of that, Scarborough gave in 2006 with permission. Another donation Scarborough allegedly made earlier this year was by his wife, Susan Scarborough. In a nutshell, Scarborough was in line with NBC policy. Olbermann wasn't and he sacrificed his journalistic independence as a result. He needs to regain that back.
I think Olbermann learned his lesson and I think he should come back soon. He's not expendable like Juan Williams, David Shuster, or Rick Sanchez. He brings in viewers and rating for MSNBC. Give him one more chance, but that's it IMO.
