Yesterday on Haya TV, Nabil Na‘im, a former leader of Egypt’s Islamic Jihad and close confidante of current al-Qaeda leader, Ayman Zawahiri—who also helped found Egypt’s Islamic Jihad—asserted that, during the reign of former president Muhammad Morsi, Zawahiri was given $25 million from Muslim Brotherhood leader Khairat al-Shatter to organize, fund, and assemble the jihadi groups “in order to support the Brotherhood.” (For more on the Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda relationship, click here).
It should be noted that al-Shatter, though not a member of Morsi’s government—only a leader of the Brotherhood—was, after being imprisoned after the revolution, asked for personally by John McCain during his visit to Egypt some months back, when he pushed for Brotherhood reinstatement. Also, U.S. ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson was reportedly seen visiting Shatter often.
Earlier, Na‘im, the former Jihad leader had said that attempts by the U.S. to “reconcile” Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood was “nothing but a conspiracy by the American administration,” and that the Brotherhood, when in power, had betrayed Egyptian sovereignty, adding that ousted president Morsi granted Egyptian citizenship to more than 60,000 Palestinians, many of whom were in the ranks of the jihad.

Not so “Innocence of Muslims”
If the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt had given Pres .Obama and Hillary permission in Bemghazi four Americans would still be alive.
Instead, our leadership recited a pre-conceived narrative of deception from the Muslim Brotherhood playbook of claiming victimhood to wash Islam’s bloodied hands.

Where did that $25 million come from? No doubt from contributions of all those peaceful law abiding Muslims we are always being told about.
