Stupid, Suicidal Jews "Twin" With the Muslim Brotherhood

To be filed under "You Can Fool Some of Jews All of the Time":
Thousands of Muslims and Jews across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa are to participate later this week in the fourth edition of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding’s (FFEU) Annual Weekend of Twinning. Since 2008, FFEU has organized hundreds of these successful initiatives around the world in cooperation with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) and the Islamic Society of North America. The annual Weekend of Twinning brings together hundreds of synagogues and mosques, cultural centers, Muslim and Jewish university students and young leadership groups and Muslim and Jewish social action networks. According to the organizers these gatherings have helped Muslims and Jews in North America, Europe and around the world to nurture ties of friendship and trust.
The founding president of FFEU and vice president of the World Jewish Congress, Rabbi Marc Schneier, remarked: “We are proud to showcase these unprecedented international gatherings of Jews and Muslims. The sheer magnitude of this year’s Weekend of Twinning reinforces our efforts to build a global movement of Muslims and Jews committed to communication, reconciliation, cooperation and understanding.”

Participating Muslim and Jewish organizations will hold their events during the weekend of 18-20 November 2011. Some events will continue through the end of December. Social action initiatives include Muslims and Jews feeding the hungry and the homeless in Boston, New Jersey, Toronto and Washington, DC.

The Weekend of Twinning kicks off FFEU’s Muslim Jewish programming for the upcoming year. In February 2012, the second meeting of the Coordinating Committee of the Gathering of European Muslim and Jewish Leaders will take place in Europe. In March, FFEU will host the first Mission of Latin American Muslim and Jewish Leaders to Washington, DC.

Schneier said: “This historic outpouring of Muslims and Jews worldwide demonstrates that we not only share a common faith, but a common fate. It is our single destiny that we must strengthen our bonds of concern, compassion and caring for each other.”
Er, Schneier has heard of the Muslim Brotherhood, hasn't he? Or does he really believe that ISNA--ISNA!--has a genuine soft spot for da Joooos?

Update: A grand total of two--count 'em, two--Toronto shuls are participating in the Tasty Samosafest.

Update: Knowing that ISNA, like Hamas, is a Muslim Brotherhood creation (albeit, a less obviously violent one), is this--"Dreaming and dying and journeys of the soul"--supposed to be a bad joke?
