Muslim Brotherhood “Charm Offensive” Includes U.S. Chamber of Commerce - New American

With Islamist extremists facing opposition as they consolidate their power within Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood is looking abroad in the hope of gaining some unlikely allies. The Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party may have reneged on its promise to stay out of Egypt’s presidential election, and has driven Coptic Christians off the commission charged with drafting their nation’s new constitution, but promises of business opportunities may win the support of foreign businesses that see an opportunity to make a profit.

According to a recent article for the Washington Post (“Muslim Brotherhood officials aim to promote moderate image in Washington visit”), the Islamist organization has been engaged in a “week-long charm offensive” in Washington, D.C.:

In meeting with U.S. officials, Brotherhood representatives were expected to depict the organization as a moderate and socially conscious movement pursuing power in the interest of Egyptians at large.

“We represent a moderate, centrist Muslim viewpoint. The priorities for us are mainly economic, political — preserving the revolution ideals of social justice, education, security for the people,” Sondos Asem, a member of the delegation, said Tuesday in an interview with reporters and editors of The Washington Post.

But even as Asem was proclaiming the Brotherhood to be “moderate,” the presidential candidate of the Freedom and Justice Party was busy making the imposition of sharia law the heart and soul of his campaign. As Reuters reported on April 5:

The Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for the Egyptian presidency, Khairat al-Shater [above left], declared that introducing sharia law would be his "first and final" objective if he wins elections in May and June....

"Sharia was and will always be my first and final project and objective," Shater was quoted on Wednesday as telling a meeting of the Religious Association for Rights and Reform — a group of which he is a member, along with figures who belong to the hard-line Salafi school of Islam.

In comments reported in a statement issued by the Association, Shater told the meeting held on Tuesday night that he would establish a special entity to help parliament achieve this objective.

It is hardly a recent development for candidates for high office to tailor their positions according to their audience, but al-Shater’s comments regarding the role of sharia law under his presidency were made while speaking to his electorate, while the “charm offensive” underway in Washington serves a very different end.

Reports have now surfaced that the organizations that have met with the Muslim Brotherhood included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC). An article by Doug Hagmann for the Canada Free Press provides details of the meeting:

Reports of a meeting between representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and members of the Freedom and Justice Party of Egypt, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, were confirmed today. According to information provided by Bobby Maldonado, Manager of Media Relations for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S.-Egypt Business Council hosted members of the Freedom and Justice Party of Egypt including Dr. Abdul Mawgoud Dardery, FJP’s Member of Parliament serving on their Foreign Relations Committee. The meeting was held at the Chamber offices in Washington, DC....

Abdul Mawgoud Dardery, a VIP of the delegation hosted at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is an outspoken proponent of Sharia law over democracy and openly critical of American business influences in Egypt. In the same USA Today report, Dardery complained that “American non-profit groups were working toward a type of democracy that will not bring Islamists to power, and this is wrong.”

Mr. Maldonado said the meeting that was held today, although private and by invitation only, focused on open and constructive dialogue to advance business opportunities between the U.S. and Egypt. The meeting was conducted to address business and investment opportunities for Egypt and the West.

Before any questions about the anti-democratic business environment in Egypt could be raised, however, Mr. Maldonado was emphatic that political beliefs played no role in today’s meeting.

PipelineNews.org also covered the meeting between capitalists and Islamists, expressing a sense of shock common to critics of closer relations between the West and advocates of sharia law:

In that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is regarded as one of the bedrock [generally conservative] institutional proponents of American enterprise and capitalism, today's meeting with the FJP is simply inexplicable. Perhaps those responsible for arranging this meeting are unaware that the Brotherhood's motto is, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

We fail to see how American values are advanced by a meeting between the Chamber and the FJP. Rather, we see a hallowed American institution providing undeserved legitimacy to the Muslim Brotherhood which has spread the ideology of Islamist terror worldwide.

While the Muslim Brotherhood is busy carrying out its “charm offensive” in Washington, the news from Cairo hints at aspects of the recent developments which could be appealing to Egyptian corporate interests. According to a report from Ahram Online, the rise of Islamists within the government does not mean that corporate and banking interests are on the wane: far from it. In fact, a number of the men charged with drafting the new constitution are quite well connected to Egyptian political, banking, and corporate interests:

From the eight economic experts initially chosen for the constituent assembly, three have resigned in protest at alleged Islamist domination of proceedings.

Their withdrawal, however, has left a yet-greater Islamist majority in charge of drafting policy.

The five remaining members are: Tareq El-Dessouki, Hussein Hamed Hassan, Maabad Ali El-Garhi, Ibrahim El-Arabi and Hussein El-Qazaz.

• Tareq El-Dessouki is a businessman and now MP with the Nour Party. Heading the economic committee in Egypt's new parliament, among his duties are settling disputes with Saudi investors in Egypt.

• Hussein Hamed Hassan, 80 years old, is an expert in Islamic finance who has held executive posts at the Islamic International Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, Al-Sharja National Islamic and the International Union of Islamic Banks.

• Maabed [sic] Ali El-Garhi is head of the International comittee of Islamic economy and an ally of Salafist Sheikh Mohamed Hassan.

• Ibrahim El-Arabi is a businessman close to the Muslim Brotherhood and a member of Cairo's Chamber of Commerce.

• Hussein El-Qazzaz [sic] is director of a business consultancy and a friend of the recently-announced Brotherhood presidential candidate Khairat El-Shater.

By way of contrast, only three members have connections with Egyptian trade unions, and two of them are members of the Freedom and Justice Party — a situation that has drawn criticism within the Egyptian parliament. Ahram Online cites the words of one critical member of parliament:

"The limited number of economic experts, peasants or workers' representatives reflects the lack of interest the economy holds to those drafting the constitution," says Moustapha Kamel El-Sayed, a political expert who is also a member of the assembly.

"There is a lack of economic experts capable of achieving balance between economic development and social justice. We need representatives of the different currents — liberal or capitalist — in order to establish an economic orientation that achieves the right balance," he adds, describing the Muslim Brotherhood's members as "inexperienced" in economic areas.

Despite its “charm offensive,” as the Brotherhood moves Egypt toward greater adherence with sharia law, the triumph of sharia extends to economics, as well.

Harris-Stowe senior making most of real-world Business opportunities - St. Louis American

When senior Accounting major Cornelius Robinson first started attending Harris-Stowe State University, he had no idea of how or where he would fit in. College was overwhelming for him initially and finances to support his goal of graduating were scarce. That was four years ago. Today, Robinson is relishing in the success that he's had as a student leader and well-sought intern.

Just this month, he started his third internship in the auditing department of KPMG, an audit, tax and advisory firm located in downtown St. Louis.

"KPMG has provided me with real hands-on experience," said Robinson," and introduced me to the various functions of auditing in a professional setting. I love it simply because it allows me to engage real clients. It's the real deal at a major corporation."

Last summer, Robinson interned on Wall Street in New York in the area of investment banking and also worked at the Progressive Insurance headquarters in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, in corporate tax. Set to graduate in May 2012, Robinson holds a 3.3 GPA and is eager to start his accounting career upon completing his studies at Harris-Stowe's Anheuser-Busch School of Business.

"I've been equipped with the necessities to be successful in corporate America," he said. "Not just academically, but socially as well. I feel that I can communicate with top business leaders and represent their companies in a positive way. I can say that my experience studying Business at Harris-Stowe has been very well-rounded, and I feel comfortable applying my skills and knowledge to real-world business situations."

And Robinson isn't just excelling academically. His collegiate extracurricular involvement is just as extensive as his professional achievements as a student. He serves as a residential assistant in Gillespie Residence Hall; the regional undergraduate president for Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.; president of the HSSU Student Government Association; vice president of the Collegiate 100; Thurgood Marshall Distinguished Scholar and is a member of the Delta Mu Delta International Honor Society in Business.

Big Ideas for Small Business - American Progress

SOURCE: Flickr/M.V. Jantzen

Raising the Export-Import Bank’s statutory cap, expanding outreach, and increasing access to public capital could make exporting goods easier and beneficial for small businesses.

By Sabina Dewan | January 26, 2012

This is the final installment of CAP’s “Big Ideas for Small-Business Policy” series. The weekly series aims to offer a collection of bold proposals that taken together will form a progressive pro-business agenda for the small- and medium-sized companies—and future big companies—our economic competitiveness depends on.

In this space CAP’s Economic Policy team has offered a weekly pro-growth alternative to the simplistic conservative advocacy for irresponsible tax policy and unaccountable government that are hardly the real priorities of small businesses—and that will do nothing to boost economic growth and ensure widely shared prosperity.

The problem: Small businesses need customers abroad

A small business’s success depends on its ability to sell its products and services. With millions of middle-class Americans tightening their belts amid the housing market’s continued weakness and persistent unemployment, small businesses are struggling to find customers.

Yet 95 percent of the world’s consumers and three-quarters of its purchasing power reside outside the United States. American small businesses could tap into this potentially lucrative consumer base outside the nation’s borders. But to do so, they need better access to loans, guarantees, and insurance products, which together constitute “export finance.”

Exporters must typically produce and supply their goods before they get paid. While large firms with big operating budgets can either afford to finance their operations upfront or get bank financing, small businesses are at a disadvantage because they are considered a riskier bet. Private lenders are frequently unwilling to accept the commercial and political risks associated with such lending, especially to young or small businesses looking to export for the first time. And the volatility of the global economy means that banks have tightened credit.

The government can play an important role in filling the gaps in export financing, especially for small businesses. Unfortunately, today the Export-Import Bank—the government agency that provides export financing for U.S. companies—lacks the resources to adequately service America’s small businesses. The bank’s financing for exports lags significantly behind other countries, especially those with state-owned enterprises. Those countries, such as China, provide their businesses with seemingly unlimited access to cheap capital. The Export-Import Bank’s limited resources also means it is constrained in its activities to adequately inform small businesses of the opportunities available to them.

Solution: Raise the Export-Import Bank’s statutory cap, expand outreach, and increase access to public capital for small businesses

The Export-Import Bank’s charter caps its overall outstanding credits, guarantees, and loans at $100 billion. Congress is poised to raise the cap to $135 billion but has yet to pass the bill that does so.

In recent years the Export-Import Bank has increased its support of U.S. exports. In 2011 it authorized a historic $32.7 billion to support them. But of this, small businesses only got $6 billion in financing and insurance. Congress should significantly raise the cap on the Export-Import Bank’s statutory lending and expand the amount of credit extended to America’s small businesses so they can be competitive on a global stage.

America’s small businesses are an important source of jobs for millions of hardworking, middle-class Americans. Helping these companies sell in foreign markets will help expand employment at home, which will in turn increase demand here for homegrown products and services.

To be sure, the Export-Import Bank has been improving its support for small business. Last year the bank launched a short-term export credit-insurance product, streamlined the application process, and improved outreach efforts with the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, the Department of Commerce, and the Small Business Administration’s Office of International Trade. These efforts should be scaled up to encourage more of America’s small businesses to export.

President Barack Obama should ask Congress to raise the Export-Import Bank’s statutory lending capacity well beyond $135 billion. Today the bank is self-sustaining, so why not raise its lending capacity to benefit America’s small businesses? That would follow the approach of export finance institutions in other countries with which we trade and which operate more like commercial banks, with limits on lending based less on firm statutory caps and more on capital reserves and internal management decisions.

A push to raise the Export-Import Bank’s capacity to finance exports provides an opportunity for a bipartisan deal that supports business and entrepreneurship, while at the same time creating middle-class jobs for citizens across America.

Sabina Dewan is Director of Globalization and International Employment at the Center for American Progress.

Big Ideas for Small Business - American Progress

SOURCE: Flickr/M.V. Jantzen

Raising the Export-Import Bank’s statutory cap, expanding outreach, and increasing access to public capital could make exporting goods easier and beneficial for small businesses.

By Sabina Dewan | January 26, 2012

This is the final installment of CAP’s “Big Ideas for Small-Business Policy” series. The weekly series aims to offer a collection of bold proposals that taken together will form a progressive pro-business agenda for the small- and medium-sized companies—and future big companies—our economic competitiveness depends on.

In this space CAP’s Economic Policy team has offered a weekly pro-growth alternative to the simplistic conservative advocacy for irresponsible tax policy and unaccountable government that are hardly the real priorities of small businesses—and that will do nothing to boost economic growth and ensure widely shared prosperity.

The problem: Small businesses need customers abroad

A small business’s success depends on its ability to sell its products and services. With millions of middle-class Americans tightening their belts amid the housing market’s continued weakness and persistent unemployment, small businesses are struggling to find customers.

Yet 95 percent of the world’s consumers and three-quarters of its purchasing power reside outside the United States. American small businesses could tap into this potentially lucrative consumer base outside the nation’s borders. But to do so, they need better access to loans, guarantees, and insurance products, which together constitute “export finance.”

Exporters must typically produce and supply their goods before they get paid. While large firms with big operating budgets can either afford to finance their operations upfront or get bank financing, small businesses are at a disadvantage because they are considered a riskier bet. Private lenders are frequently unwilling to accept the commercial and political risks associated with such lending, especially to young or small businesses looking to export for the first time. And the volatility of the global economy means that banks have tightened credit.

The government can play an important role in filling the gaps in export financing, especially for small businesses. Unfortunately, today the Export-Import Bank—the government agency that provides export financing for U.S. companies—lacks the resources to adequately service America’s small businesses. The bank’s financing for exports lags significantly behind other countries, especially those with state-owned enterprises. Those countries, such as China, provide their businesses with seemingly unlimited access to cheap capital. The Export-Import Bank’s limited resources also means it is constrained in its activities to adequately inform small businesses of the opportunities available to them.

Solution: Raise the Export-Import Bank’s statutory cap, expand outreach, and increase access to public capital for small businesses

The Export-Import Bank’s charter caps its overall outstanding credits, guarantees, and loans at $100 billion. Congress is poised to raise the cap to $135 billion but has yet to pass the bill that does so.

In recent years the Export-Import Bank has increased its support of U.S. exports. In 2011 it authorized a historic $32.7 billion to support them. But of this, small businesses only got $6 billion in financing and insurance. Congress should significantly raise the cap on the Export-Import Bank’s statutory lending and expand the amount of credit extended to America’s small businesses so they can be competitive on a global stage.

America’s small businesses are an important source of jobs for millions of hardworking, middle-class Americans. Helping these companies sell in foreign markets will help expand employment at home, which will in turn increase demand here for homegrown products and services.

To be sure, the Export-Import Bank has been improving its support for small business. Last year the bank launched a short-term export credit-insurance product, streamlined the application process, and improved outreach efforts with the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, the Department of Commerce, and the Small Business Administration’s Office of International Trade. These efforts should be scaled up to encourage more of America’s small businesses to export.

President Barack Obama should ask Congress to raise the Export-Import Bank’s statutory lending capacity well beyond $135 billion. Today the bank is self-sustaining, so why not raise its lending capacity to benefit America’s small businesses? That would follow the approach of export finance institutions in other countries with which we trade and which operate more like commercial banks, with limits on lending based less on firm statutory caps and more on capital reserves and internal management decisions.

A push to raise the Export-Import Bank’s capacity to finance exports provides an opportunity for a bipartisan deal that supports business and entrepreneurship, while at the same time creating middle-class jobs for citizens across America.

Chinese, American leaders to explore business opportunities at Granite City port - News-Democrat

U.S. and Chinese government officials and private sector leaders will tour America's Central Port on Wednesday to explore business opportunities.

U.S. Rep. Jerry Costello will lead the delegation, which is scheduled to spend about an hour at the Tri-City Regional Port District in Granite City. The hope is to bring Chinese business opportunities to southwestern Illinois, said the port's business development manager, Frank Miles.

Miles, who was formerly an aide to Costello, said the tour is in conjunction with the 4th Annual Transportation Forum being held in St. Louis. He said that at the last forum held in China, officials requested that this forum be held on an inland waterway.

The port's new S Harbor, which is under construction, will handle imports and exports of products produced in the Midwest and will create the most northerly rail, river and roadway freight transfer location south of the Mississippi river lock system.

The port handles 3,000 barges a year and transfers products to trucks and trains. It handles agricultural products, steel, fertilizer and asphalt as well as operates a foreign trade zone, commercial warehouses, industrial property development and office space at the former Mel Price U.S. Army Depot in Granite City.
