Responding to a petition from over a year ago, asking that this be done. “We have not seen credible evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced its decades-long commitment to non-violence,” said the White House response, completely ignoring, as always, the fact that the Brotherhood has the same goal as jihad terrorist organizations, even if it sometimes employs different means to attain them.
“After More Than a Year, This Is the White House’s Response to a Petition to Declare the Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Group,” by Fred Lucas, The Blaze, December 1, 2014:
After more than a year, the White House finally responded to an online petition asking that the Muslim Brotherhood be declared a terrorist organization, and the answer is no.
“We have not seen credible evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced its decades-long commitment to non-violence,” the White House said in response to a “We the People” petition that garnered 213,146 signatures — more than twice the 100,000-signature threshold to trigger a response.
The petition, which called for declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, was first posted July 7, 2013 and reached 100,000 signatures within 30 days.
The administration’s response, in line with current U.S. policy on the Muslim Brotherhood, is now listed as the top item under “Recent Responses” on the White House petitions page.
“The United States does not condone political violence of any kind and we continue to press actors of all viewpoints to peacefully engage in the political process,” the response said. “The United States is committed to thwarting terrorist groups that pose a threat to U.S. interests and those of our partners.”
Earlier this year, several Republican members of Congress co-sponsored legislation for the Muslim Brotherhood to be declared a terrorist organization.
The original petition stated that the Brotherhood “has a long history of violent killings & terrorizing opponents. Also MB has direct ties with most terrorist groups like Hamas.”
Referring to the time in July 2013 when Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated President Mohammed Morsi was removed from power, it said: “The Muslim Brotherhood has shown in the past few days that it is willing to engage in violence and killing of innocent civilians in order to invoke fear in the hearts of its opponents. This is terrorism.”
“We ask the US government to declare MB as a terrorist group for a safer future for all of us,” the petition said….

“..an online petition asking that the Muslim Brotherhood be declared a terrorist organization, and the answer is no.”
What a stupid petition. Are you really asking the Muslim Brotherhood thugs to declare the Muslim Brotherhood thugs a terrorist organization?
What does it take for the American people to finally understand that the Muslim Brotherhood thugs are the true masters in the Oval Office?
*THEY* are running the White House. Period.
This is why I keep saying: the whole system is corrupt, the whole system must go. Traitors must face justice and, if convicted of high treason, EXECUTED.
This will never happen through “elections.” Both parties are corrupt. You need a massive popular uprising. Nothing less.
The only alternatives left are a bloody civil war or a total surrender to these thugs.

Seriously; this is the only justice this treasonous and corrupt government will understand.

Shane says
Obama is not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, though, he is a Muslim brother, yo!
Jae M says
Exactly. There has been lots of documents that confirm what the Brotherhood is up to even if you watch “The Muslim Brotherhood” documentary you can see how the groups are linked. It isn’t rocket science, it is right in front of their faces. The ridiculous answer that “We have not seen credible evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced its decades-long commitment to non-violence,” is beyond stupid. Of course the Muslim Brotherhood is not going to outright say they are affiliated with terrorists groups.
somehistory says
Doesn’t the OIC define *terrorism* as the killing of a muslim when the one killing does not have the *right* to kill a muslim? All worshippers of the false god must agree with this definition, no?
Killing of infidels, according to the edicts of islam, is not terrorism.
islam uses a different dictionary from the rest of us.

I thought that Morsi’s wife was going to blow the lid off Ol’ Thunder Thighs.
Syd Chaden says
Of course, Obama will not declare the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization. Obama and Hillary Clinton revealed themselves as advocates for the Muslim Brotherhood, when they supported the ouster of Mubarak and promoted his replacement with Morsi, of the Brotherhood. When the Egyptian people who had demonstrated against Mubarak, demanding freedom and democracy, demonstrated against Morsi, Obama and Hillary Clinton, and her successor, John Kerry, did not support the protesters for freedom and democracy, they supported the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama and Clinton declared that the Muslim Brotherhood would bring freedom and democracy to Egypt, but that was untrue, and entirely an invention of Obama and Hillary Clinton. The Brotherhood has always declared that its goal was to bring rule by the Sharia to Egypt. The Sharia, of course, is the antithesis of freedom and democracy.
When the Egyptian Army once again supported the Egyptian people, and ousted Morsi, Obama threatened the Egyptian Army with suspension of US aid, unless Morsi was reinstated. The Egyptian Army refused, and Obama cut off aid. Putin was happy to fill the void.
Obama has even appointed members of the Muslim Brotherhood to his White House Advisory Councils. That is a point of concern, since the Muslim Brotherhood subscribes to the Sharia, and its call for “death to the infidels”. The USA is a nation of “infidels”, and it is hardly appropriate for the President of the USA to have advisers who advocate the death of Americans. The explanation may be in Obama’s often-stated fantasies that “Islam is the religion of love”, and, “Islamic terrorism is the work of a tiny minority”. Any fool can see that the Sunnis and the Shiites are hardly “a tiny minority”, and any fool can see that “death to the infidels” is hardly a message of love.
But, Obama is not just “any fool”. He is President of the USA.

Petitions and polls mean nothing to khalifa Barak — he always goes against tghe wishes of the US citizens and in favor of the Harem Bozos, Ham-ass, Hezbolla, Iran, the Turkey trash, the PLO, the reds, the illegal alien invaders. What is needed nis somwe opposition from congrfess! Impeachment would start the ball rolling on the crimes and scandals of this America-hater and his Hate-America party followers.
But Wimp Boehner will not hinder or hamper the unholy “transformation,; he is helping pay the way for it!

The MB hides behind its supposed “non-violent” methods yet still shares the goals of all jihadists and sharia law supporters – the takeover of the United States! Isn’t that considered pertinent?
Obama has now made many public statements about “siding with the Muslims”. America needs to wake the hell up.
Jack says
The MB strategy is not new! The tactics they are using today were developed 80 years years ago by their Founder Banana. Thoe plan was how to enter different cultures and societies in stealth fashion and be able to completely take over. Their stated goal was the West. So enter academia. Start teaching K-12 and university, takeover production of educational books, enter govt service set up charitable trusts and become the pillar of communities. The MB was extremely violent in Egypt until after Sadat’s assassination and they relalized they would not win militarily so they switched tactics to win the hearts and souls of the man on the street. Charities, interaction and conversation steering clear of talk about overthrowing Mubarak until the right moment. Then Obama lands and they knew the time was right.

So, it seems to me that CAIR is doing it’s part as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood to provoke trouble around Ferguson, MO. CAIR has formed, ‘Muslims for Ferguson’ and is doing it’s part to stir things up.
http://shoebat.com/2014/11/25/just-came-ferguson-riots-jihad-america-organized-muslim-terrorists-street-jihad-coming-america/
No society is perfect, but I don’t believe that so much trouble would be created without outside provocateurs. This isn’t 1955 America, we don’t have the same kind of racial tensions here as we did then. Our President is a person of color, for Pete’s sake. This stirring up trouble by Islamists would be a convenient way to weaken us, and an example of asymmetrical warfare. The more trouble they can stir up, the more vulnerable we will be. Maybe CAIR will try to restrict the powers of the police and start Sharia ‘police’ patrols like they have in Europe. I certainly hope we wake up to the grave danger we are in… and fast.
I suspect that Islamists are trying to capitalize on this to divide and conquer us. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Scott Stolnitz says
Not violent? Ayman Al-Zawahiri, now head of Al Qada, was a major force in Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. Funny, I haven’t heard him renounce violence in the last several years. (Or did I miss an MSNBC/CNN news alert?)
Hopefully the new Congress will at least force Obama to veto the legislation that declares them as such shortly after the new Congress convenes.
Tommy Guns says
What’s it going to take??? The Muslim Brotherhood has been outlawed in Egypt, a ‘MUSLIM COUNTRY’!!!! After the Egyptian public became aware of the Brotherhoods strict muslim rules, they soon revolted and were successfully booted out of office. In other words, the Muslim Brotherhood was TOO MUSLIM for the muslim population. If they’re too extreme for muslims, why are they allowed to set up shop in any Western country???
David, Thailand says
Rather dumb, if you ask me, expecting Hussein Obama to declare the the Muslim Brotherhood, the best funded, established and organised terrorist group in the world, a terrorist organisation.
The Son of Satan will leave office with a shrug and a chuckle, with mayhem in his wake.

From the article – ” a “We the People” petition that garnered 213,146 signatures — more than twice the 100,000-signature threshold to trigger a response.
The petition, which called for declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, was first posted July 7, 2013 and reached 100,000 signatures within 30 days.”
I’d like to know how that compares to other political petitions.
Think about it: 100 000 Americans a/ knew about/ heard about/ were told about a petition demanding the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and b/ knew enough about the MB, to agree with that demand. And they signed.
Now, imagine if every single American who *signed* the petition were to follow up with actual personal, individual letters to their elected representatives, and to their Senators, making exactly the same demand.
And getting their friends to do the same.
And then maybe getting into groups and organising to *meet* their reps, face to face, when opportunity arises, to press home the point in person, *again*: BAN the Muslim Brotherhood; declare it a Terrorist Organisation.
100 000 signatures is a *start*. A step in the right direction.

No matter how many times the Obama admiration harmonizes ALLAHU BATHWASH the Muslim Brotherhood still comes out of tub stinking while leaving its scummy residue behind.

Go to the bds FB pages. Troll if necessary. Challenge .Take courage and face the hypocrisy and self-serving politicking.
Don Fredrick says
It apparently took more than one year for the Obama administration to come up with its lawyerly, weasel-worded excuse. That the Muslim Brotherhood continues to claim it renounces violence is, of course, irrelevant. It continues to engage in and fund violence.
Jack Holan says
The American People know and the World knows that this was NOT workplace violence.
Why are you sticking to your ridiculous story Mr. President?
As Commander & Chief, why would you allow your troops who came under enemy fire, without weapons of their own on military base, not be accorded military honor, treatment and so forth as if they had come under fire in Iraq or Afghanistan?
WHAT IRKS ME MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, WHY AND THE HELL ARE YOU PRISON OFFICIALS, DEPT OF JUSTICE, FBA, DHS, ALLOWING THIS TERRORIST A PLATFORM TO SPREAD HIS ISLAMIC PROPAGANDA AND THREATEN WORLD LEADERS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES (MORE CHARGES)?9IF IT’S HIS ATTORNEY CARRYING OUT MESSAGES THAT WAS RESOLVED WHEN THIS OCCURRED WITH A 9/11 ATTORNEY AND SERVED SOME TIME FOR IT AND COULD NO LONGER REPRESENT HIM.

i am coptic man from Egypt i say that muslim brotherhood not only 100 % terrorist but this org. the mother of all islamic terrorist Org in the world and they have a lot of hide part everywhere like Care in Usa and Hamas and in Tyrkia and Qatar
Jack says
As soon as the MB came to power Coptic Churches began to burn, all out street riot or pogroms against Christians, forced conversions of females to Islam; and this was reported in the Israeli and Western media. Obama knew Christians were being slaughtered but didn’t care. MB declared once in power the would eventually abrogate the 1979 Peace Treaty with Israel. I guess Obama doesn’t consider Israel a Partner of the US or by his definition he would declare MB a terrorist organization.
