Obama Administration cozying up to Muslim Brotherhood
ROS sends a link from Reuters in which Hillary Clinton admits that this administration has “closer contacts” with the muslim Brotherhood in Egypt;
“We believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful, and committed to non-violence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency,” Clinton told reporters at a news conference.
“Now in any of those contacts, prior or future, we will continue to emphasize the importance of and support for democratic principles and especially a commitment to non-violence, respect for minority rights, and the full inclusion of women in any democracy,” she added.
Clinton would not say whether the Obama administration had already begun such contacts or at what level it planned to deal with the group.
On Wednesday, a senior U.S. official disclosed the decision to Reuters, saying that where U.S. diplomats previously dealt only with group members in their role as parliamentarians, a policy he said had been in place since 2006, they will now deal directly with Brotherhood officials.
The Muslim Brotherhood in the US was discovered during the trial of the Holy Land Foundation trial to have as it’s credo, the destruction of Western civilization from within and the victory of Islam over other religions. Their founding credo since it’s inception in 1928 has been; “God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.”

Like Jimmah Cahtah turning his back on the Shah, Obysmal turned his back on Mubarak. Now, the Regime is intent on cozying up to the thugocracy emerging in Egypt. Meanwhile, he drops a bomb or two on Libya every day, to prevent “genocide”, and turns a blind eye to genocide in Syria.
Like I said in another post, I hope Israel has gotten their nukes ready, because I fear that they will need them, sooner rather than later.
What better way for Assad in Syria, and the MB to take everyone’s mind off their goat screw, than to ratchet up the violence against Israel?
First BPP, then WBC, now this- such diversity!
Well…..
The Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaida, and the Saudi religious establishment all have the same end game in mind: A Global Caliphate governed by their brand of Sharia.
Obama has done nothing to get us out of bed with the Saudis, is seeking closer ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, and is effectively handing AQ and Co. a victory in Afghanistan due to some sort of pathological need to win brownie points from the Leftist constituency.
What more can be said?
