Egypt summons U.S. ambassador over DC Muslim Brotherhood meetings

Jun 9, 2015 5:38 am By Robert Spencer

Obama supports terrorismThe Egyptian government is understandably annoyed over Obama’s continuing support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Egypt summons U.S. ambassador over Muslim Brotherhood,” by Arshad Mohammed, Reuters, June 8, 2015:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Egypt summoned the U.S. ambassador in Cairo to show displeasure at Muslim Brotherhood figures coming to Washington for a private conference, sources familiar with the matter said on Monday.

One source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. officials did not intend to meet the group although they had met some Brotherhood figures that came to Washington in January.

The tensions reflect a clash between U.S. diplomats’ desire to deal with the whole political spectrum in Egypt and a fear of alienating Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi who, as army chief, toppled a Muslim Brotherhood-led government in 2013.

The sources declined to say precisely when U.S. Ambassador Stephen Beecroft was call in by the Egyptian government, though one said it was in recent days. Egypt sought the meeting to make clear its unhappiness at U.S. dealings with the Brotherhood.

State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke declined to say whether Beecroft was summoned by the Egyptian authorities or whether U.S. officials would meet Brotherhood figures visiting Washington, telling reporters he was aware of media reports of such a visit but that “I don’t have any meetings to announce.”

He said it continued to be U.S. policy to engage with people from across the political spectrum in Egypt.

The United States has had ambivalent dealings with Sisi, prizing the stability has brought to Egypt while cautiously criticizing Egypt’s human rights record and the authorities’ crackdown on the Brotherhood.

Sisi, who was elected president in a 2014 landslide but with lower-than-expected turnout that raised questions about his mandate, regards the Brotherhood as part of a terrorist network that poses a threat to the Arab and Western world.

The Brotherhood says it is a peaceful movement….

Ask Egypt’s Christians about that.

    Why does obama support the muslim brotherhood ? Could it be because he hates America ?

    ”The Ikhwan [Arabic for brothers] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad to eliminate and destroy the Western civilization from within, and sabotage its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers, so that it is eliminated, and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

      Yeah…sounds just like a conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution and Government of the United States.

      Thanks for posting this, it goes right to the heart of muslim brotherhood who passes itself off as a peaceful muslim organization whose very existence is to support jihad and the spread of sharia worldwide.

    It’s not only Obama but european governments like in France , UK etc who support Muslim Brotherhood.
    Qatar and Saudi Arabia know better …

      Saudi Arabia doesn’t support the Muslim Brotherhood because they are not the “right kind” of Sunni moslem — which for Saudi Arabia means Wahhabism. Saudi Arabia doesn’t support the Islamic State because the are not the “right kind” of Sunni moslem — they don’t recognize the House of Saud’s right to rule, and enable American military bases and American oil companies in mohammadian territory. Even though it was the House of Saud’s own efforts at spreading Wahhabism which formed the basis for the Islamic State.

      Basically, Saudi Arabia doesn’t support the Muslim Brotherhood because they are not quite pure Islam enough, and Saudi Arabia doesn’t support the Islamic State because it has outdone Dr. Frankenstein and become too pure a form of Islam.

        ” … they don’t recognize the House of Saud’s right to rule …”

        I think that’s the **essential** point, I don’t really think ‘islam’ per se, has much to do with it.

    The Obama administration’s collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood, which has the self-declared goal of destroying our civilization and way of life through Civilization or Grand Jihad, constitutes T R E A S O N.

    The Egyptian government should make public all of the Muslim Brotherhood documents it has obtained which reveal the Brotherhood’s global Islamic supremacist agenda, operations, networks, financing, supporters (e.g., Qatar), and operators, as well as its interactions with (or deception of) the Obama administration.

    We are letting slip yet another grand opportunity to take down, unravel, roll back, and roll up the Muslim Brotherhood and its networks and front organizations.

      securefreedom.org has several of the MB documents in pdf form and or for sale. Also available from Amazon.

      The reading list should include Reliance of the Traveler, The Project,Tarbey Guide, Milestones Along the Road, The explanatory Memorandum, their Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, and understanding or who/what OIC.
      So much to learn; so little time…

      I agree…really good comment, i always thought that a traitor would be removed from office before he could damage this country I guess I was wrong….wrong because the Muslim Brotherhood was successful with their deception. i wish he would resign…charming smiling guy, intelligent but attempting accomplish the muslim brotherhoods goals by destroying us by our own hand. ( Administrations hand).

    The Muslim Brotherhood actually is the political “part of a terrorist network that poses a threat to the Arab and Western world”.

    It’s the biggest question why Obama doesn’t perceive that…or maybe he does.

    Hope and change needed a bit more definition before so many people voted for it. I didn’t like him then and even less now. hussein? Really? What did everyone expect? The MB has people in obola’s closest circle and he damn well knows it. What we see as tragic is what he calls design. Enough already. He’s crossed the line of impeachable offense so many times that he doesn’t even try to hide it anymore.

      ” Enough already.”

      Bezelel – the good news is that we see fewer commenters here suggesting that Obama is “clueless”…
      Maybe people have begun to embrace their own common sense? I hope so. Cheers! Quotha R

    My VIRGINIA SENATOR TIM KAINE attended this travesty at the White House. When I wrote on his FB page about CAIR – he DEFENDED CAIR!!! What’s with this crap? Feed right into the muslim brotherhood! I got an email from the Senator’s office stating how great CAIR was! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SUPPORT BY MY VIRGINIA SENATOR OF CAIR???

    Quotha Raven…Obama acts clueless, sincere but that is part of his stealthiness…If he read this he would say in my opinion, “come on guys, do you really think I would try to undermine this country…this is just right wing craziness”….All the while the rapid movements of muslims are invited to our shores and terrorism across the middle east and northern continent of Africa continues slaughtering Christians, aid workers, Jews,, journalists and anyone who will not submit. He is bringing his army. Just read today more American soldiers are being sent to Iraq to advise…but muslims can’t work with infidels to kill other muslims and in time they turn their guns on our soldiers. Clueless, no not at all.

    .
    Written sometime in 1987 but not formally published until May 22, 1991, Akram’s 18-page document listed the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded “organizations of our friends” that shared the common goal of dismantling American institutions and turning the U.S. into a Muslim nation. These “friends” were identified by Akram and the Brotherhood as groups that could help convince Muslims “that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.”

    Akram was well aware that in the U.S., it would be extremely difficult to promote Islam by means of terror attacks. Thus the “grand jihad” that he and his Brotherhood comrades envisioned was not a violent one involving bombings and shootings, but rather a stealth (or “soft”) jihad aiming to impose Islamic law (Sharia) over every region of the earth by incremental, non-confrontational means, such as working to “expand the observant Muslim base”; to “unif[y] and direc[t] Muslims’ efforts”; and to “present Islam as a civilization alternative.” At its heart, Akram’s document details a plan to conquer and Islamize the United States – not as an ultimate objective, but merely as a stepping stone toward the larger goal of one day creating “the global Islamic state.”

    And obama know that, …… think about it.
