Obama admin: Fighting terrorism but supporting Brotherhood terrorists?

Apr 12, 2014 6:00 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Hillary Clinton, Mohammed MorsiNews recently emerged that “the Obama administration is imposing sanctions on an Egypt-based group that has claimed responsibility for attacks against Egyptian officials, Israeli interests and foreign tourists in Cairo and the Sinai peninsula. The State Department said Wednesday [4/9/14] it has designated Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis a ‘foreign terrorist organization.’”

While ostensibly a laudable move, some—many in Egypt—think this announcement is a ruse to portray the Obama administration as committed to combating terrorism, even as it supports the head of the terrorist-snake, the Muslim Brotherhood.

For instance, according to Mustafa Zayid, the Coordinator of the Sufi Coalition Forces in Egypt, “The expectation was for the United States of America to announce its designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization—as opposed to Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis, which takes its lead from it [Brotherhood].”

The Sufi leader further added in published comments to Watan “that Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis is a pseudonym for the terrorist Brotherhood organization, clarifying that what the U.S. State Department did was one of the administration’s tricks to deceive the world, mocking it into believing that the U.S. is combatting terrorism.”

He further added that “the U.S. supports the Muslim Brotherhood and sponsors its terrorist activities throughout Egypt.”

Nor is the Sufi the only one making such charges.  According to Nabil Na’im, a Salafi, former member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad and confidante of al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri, Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis is funded by Khairat al-Shatter, the currently imprisoned, multi-millionaire Brotherhood leader.

Of note is the fact that, although al-Shatter was never part of the Morsi government, U.S. diplomats often met with him, including Ambassador Anne Patterson and Sen. John McCain.

    If only Morsi had given his permission to the Obama administration to protect the Benghazi Embassy four Americans might still be alive.

    Instead the Muslim Brotherhood infested White House appeased Egypt and Libya Islamists with a film cover-up of deceit.

    The 0bama administration is so clueless that it cannot see the connection between the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology and its spawned organizations. Until we have a government that pays attention to Islamic texts we will be stumbling in the dark. Since when is ignorance politically correct?

      They are not clueless, they know exactly what is going on.

        Benghazi was quite a slip-up. I’m afraid you give them too much credit.

      “Impeach Obama and prosecute him for treason!”

      Only a legitimate president can face empeachment, Obama is not, he’s the biggest fraud in modern history. This guy must be brought to justice and executed.

        While i do not disagree this would advocate a race war.

          While I don’t want such a conflict, It cannot be avoided at “all costs” any more than Israel can make peace at “all costs”. I would also not omit the fact that there is division in the ranks of the would be aggressors for any number of reasons. Those reasons have multiplied since 08. The enemedia has been keeping a lid on it the best they can at the cost of their integrity.Keep the Faith, evil is self destructive and good is not helpless.

          …and all of the “race cards” would be torn up
          and Left-fascist bullying would stop on a dime. “POP”
          What a dream I just had.

      “Milestones”, by Sayyid Qubt

      the Muslim Brotherhood. He was hung, by Egypt,

      MB-founded by Hassan al Banna,1928, Egypt.

        Also, for a nice quick overview, easy to read and deadly accurate, the two chapters on the Brotherhood that are included in American investigative journalist “John Roy Carlson”‘s book “Cairo to Damascus” (1951).

        He *interviewed* Hassan al Banna, who was one of the leading lights (or head gang bosses) in the Brotherhood in the 1940s (which is prior to Sayyid Qutb).

        See “Cairo to Damascus”, book 1, chapters IV “The Moslem (Black) Brotherhood” and VI, “World of the Koran: Islam Ueber Alles”.
