Georgetown Rescinds Invite to Egyptian Nazi

A daylong Georgetown University
conference on Egypt's
political state in the wake of July's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed
Morsi was to include a member of Egypt's Nazi Party.
Hosted and organized by the
school's Prince Al Waleed Bin
Talal Center
for Christian Muslim Understanding, the Dec. 5 program is entitled "Egypt
and the Struggle for Democracy." The lone Coptic Christian invited, Ramy
Jan, is part of Egypt's
small Nazi Party and sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Washington Free
Beacon reports.
Jan is listed representing
"Christians Against the Coup" in a promotional flier for the event
posted by Georgetown
Tuesday morning. He is omitted from an updated flier posted six hours later. In
between the two, Jan's Nazi ideology was exposed in a Twitter post by Hudson Institute Fellow Samuel Tadros.
"It's remarkable to find such
a guy," Tadros told the Beacon. "Just by inviting him that tells us
something about the nature of the conference and those organizing it."
In addition, Eric Trager, a Washington Institute on Near East Policy
fellow who specializes in Egyptian politics and the Muslim Brotherhood, wrote
that it also was odd to see the only Coptic speaker on the program be someone
opposed to Morsi's ouster. This "suggests [the conference's] goal is
advocacy, not analysis," he wrote.
Egyptian Copts overwhelmingly
supported Morsi's removal after he sought to entrench Islamist political power
and failed to protect minority rights. The Christian minority has been targeted
for a barrage of attacks by Islamists since the government was toppled.
Dalia Mogahed, a former White
House advisor and protégé of the Georgetown
center's director John Esposito,
wrote that Jan's invitation "had already been handled" before the
Twitter attention and that he would not be attending the event. Mogahed is
scheduled to speak at the event.
The decision to change the program
appears to be limited to Jan's inclusion. The rest of the speakers, the Beacon
reported, are all pro-Muslim Brotherhood. That includes a senior member of the
Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice political party and a former senior adviser
to Morsi. U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison,
(D-MN), who has enjoyed close relationships with American Islamist groups, is
scheduled to give the keynote address.
