Georgetown Rescinds Invite to Egyptian Nazi



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.
