The Muslim Brotherhood's Empty Chair
(World Affairs) Michael J. Totten - The Washington Institute for Near East Policy invited senior Muslim Brotherhood official Helmy el-Gazzar to its annual conference in the U.S., booked him on a business class flight from Cairo, and put him up in the luxurious Ritz Carlton. El-Gazzar made it to Washington and checked into his room, but he refused to show up at the conference because Israelis - or "Zionists" as he called them - were also going to be there.
