Egypt: U.S. Embassy official in contact with Muslim Brotherhood arrested

Feb 11, 2014 10:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Barack Obama has been an indefatigable and unstinting supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, as well as of its proxies in the U.S. Thus it is not surprising that U.S. Embassy employees in Cairo would be Brotherhood allies as well. Obama was the target of vociferous criticism during the anti-Brotherhood demonstrations last summer for his uncritical support of the Brotherhood.

“US Embassy confirms one of its local employees detained,” by Rabab Fathy for Youm7 via the Cairo Post, February 11 (thanks to Joyce):

CAIRO: National Security arrested a local employee on Jan. 25 who works for the U.S. embassy in Cairo, the embassy confirmed Tuesday.

“We confirm that one of our local employees was arrested on Jan. 25. According to our information, there are no charges against him so far,” said Mofid al-Deek, Media Attaché and the spokesperson of the U.S. embassy in Cairo.

Deek said the embassy is communicating with the Egyptian government to understand the reason for the employee’s detention.

A security source reported National Security arrested Ahmed A., a U.S embassy employee in charge of the political Islam file. The source added that the employee was in constant contact with Khairat el-Shater, First Deputy of the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, when the group ruled the country.

The suspect was arrested while participating with others in marches and riots in Giza Governorate. He is being investigated by the National Security Agency to determine the dimensions of his activity.

    “Obama was the target of vociferous criticism during the anti-Brotherhood demonstrations last summer for his uncritical support of the Brotherhood.”

    Some posters during the Egyptian revolution that toppled the Muslim Brotherhood regime read:

    “Wake up America, Obama backs up a facist regime in Egypt”
    “Obama supports terrorism”
    “Obama, your bitch is our dictator”

      Thank you, Salah,
      Your contributions here are invaluable. It is hard to imagine and American president being more helpful to a fascist party like MB who are truly the Nazis of Egypt. Why does this common knowledge (in Egypt) not enter Obama’s brain? The MB are nothing but Nazis.

        Because he is sympatico with them,he is allied with them,he considers them right & righteous,he is for their freedom of religion practice even to their domination of a state,he is perhaps even one of them, thereby supporting the builders of their caliphate!

        His own brother is a member of the brotherhood, where do you think sheik Obama’s loyalties lie? He is either an outright member or a die hard sympathizer.

      Wasn’t PLO terrorist Yasser Arafat a originally a Muslim Brotherhood member with Egyptian roots.
      How did that work out?

      He was appeased and rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize placed into his blood stained hands.

      If Obama were legit he would have turned down his dubious prize as being not just undeserved but tainted with Israeli blood.

      Thank you so much Salah; What really amazes me is the total number of people in the U.S. from all walks of life who are so brainwashed into believing anything and everything coming from the “liar-in-chief”. Anything he does is perfectly fine with them, they are so blind and ignorant. Ignorance is Satan’s primary tool.

    Oh dear. .and this hot on the heels of yesterday’s news, reported over at Atlas Shrugs and elsewhere, that the US charge d’affaires in North Sudan, Joseph Stafford, has been forced to resign after converting to Islam.

    When you’re raised muslim, have most of your family, both brothers and sisters being active operatives in the mb in Africa, get your IRS to approve a suspicious mb support organization by Lois herself, like a good little girl, illicitly, and stack your regime with muslim and mb henchmen and other cooperatives, it is not a surprize that he would support our declared enemy elsewhere, wherever possible, which is why he nearly went to war on behalf of the mb in Syria, and is behind so much more evil and illegal activities of his.

    It goes hand in glove with this other side of him, illustrated here: http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/2014/02/obama-is-becoming-public-enemy-number.html and his constant lying illustrated among much more bad behavior, here: http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2014/02/after-afghanistan.html

    Both of these are top writers of their own right, also, like Robert.

    The uprising in Egypt against the MB was one of the few bright spots in a grim region. I’m happy to see that there are people in Egypt who get it and very disappointed with our confused US bureaucRATS.

    Relax, massa. Obama once said he was “impressed with Morsi’s pragmatic confidence” and that he sensed an “engineer’s precision with surprisingly little ideology.” If that was not a coy presidential tidbit designed for the liberal press and its gullible following, it was a dog-whistle that says “Relax massa, I got them unpredictable beards eating out of my hand.”

    While debating the flamboyance, style and ‘dog-whistling’ technique of the President may gain some traction, discussing merits and demerits of a (pardon the French) ‘house-negro’ is awkward, weary and irrelevant.

    In essence, it is not Washington that makes ‘the region tremble’ but an elite group that sacked an empire, drew lines in the sand and re-defined not only the plethora of caged psyches we call the Middle East, but resurrected their doctrinal antithesis, in form of a refreshing tech-driven 4000 year-old flicker-to-flame, tasked with the job description to lead minions, misogynists and dictators of all stripes out of their dark caves into modernity, with the option to throw them back in.

    What the hell is an American embassy official doing participating in a march/riot in the first place? If he is not put in an Egyptian jail cell he should be fired at the least. How many other community organizers do we have representing the interests of the United States overseas?

    I know the answer: it is NOT the side of democracy truth and justice but fascism repression and terror!

    So here we have the Moslem military junta in Cairo being realistic about the MoBroHood, while the leader of the free world is pro-Mo-Bro-Hood. And his middle name is Hussein, and he chose two known Marxian terrorists as his political mentors, but that’s not supposed to count, it would be racist or Islamophobic.

      Don’t forget that a big mob of Moslem activists stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, threw heavy objects into the courtyard, and actually encroached its sovereign space. The mob, it should go without saying, constantly chanted death threats. But what the hey, they were celebrating the Sept. 11 anniversary is all, just innocent Moslem fun.

    Remember how the media and Obama’s people were all bending over backwards in the 2008 campaign to stress that he was a Christian and downplaying his Muslim connections.

    Eagerly awaiting the information that will come out in the Morsi trial that will show Obamas role with the MB. If this is verified Obama needs removed and tried for his involvement. So many people here have their heads in the sand about CAIR, the MB, ect. We as a still “free” people need to wake up and inform ourselves about who this President really is.

        “Brian C. Hall” is our old semi-literate troll “DefenderofIslam”, Islamisdeath. You can tell from his syntax—especially his misuse of “than” as an all-purpose article.

    Off-topic: I’ve noticed a curious thing about Google Maps. As most of you may know, that amazing service provides a way to zoom on any place on earth with mere mouse-clicks.

    So just being naturally curious, I chose various cities at random — Cleveland, Ohio; Salzburg, Austria; Triest, Italy; Wellington, New Zealand — and all enable the viewer to zoom in until one can see cars and people and streets. Only the last named stopped short of actually showing a street-level view, but still it got very close.

    However, when you try to view any city in the Muslim world, the view stops way short of zooming in — so high up you can only make out buildings as though from a plane high above. I tried Karachi, Pakistan; Mecca, Saudi Arabia; Cairo, Egypt; and Amman, Jordan. Karachi and Mecca were notably limited, so high up I could not even make out buildings at all.

    Coincidence? I think Google has been ordered to limit their views of Muslim countries. Imagine what daily crimes and outrages one could document in the streets and alleys of Karachi…

    Question: Is the employee an American or a an Egyptian? This is interesting.
    —
    There are many in Obama’s club who are pro terrorist and pro jihadist. I wouldnt be surprised if this should turn out to be an American.

    Egypt: U.S. Embassy official in contact with Muslim Brotherhood arrested
    ……………………….

    Suicidal madness. Given the fact that Obama himself has been such a supporter of the Al-Qaida-linked Muslim Brotherhood, it is hardly a surprise, though.
