The Obama Administration’s Disgraceful Muslim Brotherhood Policy

March 27, 2013 By Joseph Klein

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s Islamist Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government, which has the support of the Obama administration, has just issued arrest warrants for five activists on false charges that they allegedly used social media to incite violence against the Muslim Brotherhood. These activists include a blogger who played a key role in the 2011 revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.

Morsi was following through on his threat to the National Salvation Front and other opposition groups, which he issued last Sunday in the wake of clashes between protesters and the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo: “There is a president of the republic and there are emergency measures if any of them makes even the smallest of moves that undermines Egypt or the Egyptians. Their lives are worthless when it comes to the interests of Egypt and Egyptians. I am a president after a revolution, meaning that we can sacrifice a few so the country can move forward. It is absolutely no problem.”

In addition, the Muslim Brotherhood itself filed complaints against 169 opposition figures, which included a former presidential candidate who now works in television.

At the same time, sexual assaults against women have skyrocketed during the Morsi regime’s rule. And the Islamists who have been elevated into power blame the women for the violence against them. For example, an Islamist police general and lawmaker was quoted by the New York Times as proclaiming that “a girl contributes 100 percent to her own raping when she puts herself in these conditions.”

A lawmaker from the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party blamed the attacks on women who dared to protest peacefully alongside of men: “How do they ask the ministry of Interior to protect a woman when she stands among men?”

And yet we get deafening silence from the Obama administration. Instead, the Obama administration forges ahead with its plans to provide F-16 fighters, Abrams tanks and over a billion dollars of financial aid to Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government despite his crackdown on dissidents and the deteriorating plight of women in Egypt.

The Islamists are laughing at us. Egyptian cleric Dr. Khaled Said, in an interview aired on Al-Hafez TV (via the Internet) on March 17, 2013 described American foreign aid this way, as transcribed by The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI): “If the revolution declares a framework for dealing with the West and America – they will accept it, kiss our hands, and double the aid they give us. We consider this aid to be jizya [poll tax], not regular aid. They pay so that we will let them be. The aid constitutes jizya.”

This is the government that President Obama has chosen to support and fund. And now we may be seeing history repeat itself in Syria. As it ratchets up military support for the Syrian opposition, the Obama administration is welcoming the selection of Ghassan Hitto, a Syrian Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer who is a naturalized American citizen, to head the Syrian opposition’s new interim government. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said: “This is an individual who, out of concern for the Syrian people, left a very successful life in Texas to go and work on humanitarian relief for the people of his home country. We’re very hopeful that his election will foster unity and cohesion among the opposition.”

Hitto was voted in by 35 of the 49 opposition coalition members who cast ballots. However, a number of members walked out in protest because they were upset at what they believed to be Hitto’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood. One liberal dissident complained about the new interim opposition government: “The government is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Qatar government.”

So much for unity and cohesion among the Syrian opposition.

While living in the United States, Hitto helped found the Muslim Legal Fund of America. At least half of the Board of Directors of the Muslim Legal Fund have ties to U.S. Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Association of North Texas. Hitto himself reportedly served as the Vice-President of CAIR’s Dallas Fort-Worth Chapter in 2002 and is currently listed as a director of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Muslim American Society (MAS) Youth Center of Dallas.

The article concludes:
"The Obama administration’s policy towards encouraging Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islamists over the more secular members of the opposition in country after country in the Middle East is part of a very disturbing pattern. The policy is either insane because it amounts to doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results or, more likely, it represents a deliberate decision to rely on the Muslim Brotherhood as a counterweight to what the Obama administration considers to be the more dangerous al Qaeda jihadists. If so, the policy is doomed to fail because the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda are made from the same Islamist cloth, even if their tactics may differ in the short term."

IMHO there is another possibility: the same results are expected. These results are the reason the Nazis and Soviets sent agents and money into the middle east in the early 1900's: to resurrect violent jihad & foment chaos, as a tool to help bring down the West, the US in particular, and help usher in the NWO.

With Kerry, Hagel and Brennan there is no reason to believe that the jihadists tremble in fear.

Exactly! I am not familiar with this author but I was disappointed that he basically "copped out" at the end of the article. I suppose that it is far easier to write/speak truthfully via relative "anonymity" within a closed space than out in public with one's real name attached. I guess that is why the real truth is such a rare commodity. Countless authors will write terrific articles spelling out a lot of truth, but in the end they are forced to cop out by saying either "he/they must be nuts" or "he/they must be clueless or stupid." It is not only on this topic either, we see it all around, especially on topics that relate to the economy. Rarely do we see anyone take their points to the logical conclusion, it is always watered down at some point along the way.

It reminds me of WHEN TRUTH BECOMES TREASON.

I wonder if they:
A. are unable to take the information to its logical conclusion (denial / normalcy bias), or
B. are afraid of the consequences of writing the logical conclusion, or
C. see this as the only way to get the information published.

I've often wondered if the democrat Congress & Senate in Washington feel the same way as Obama. He seems to be completely dense when it comes to being on the right side of the situation, not just in Egypt but the entire middle east.
Do all the democrat leaders in Washinton believe the Muslim Brotherhood needs our financial backing as well as the good will of our president?

The Muslim Brotherhood is in the process of torturing Christians and even killing them. Has Obama had anything to say about that?
What about ANY of the leaders that approved the millions & millions of dollars being sent to them, along with planes and what-have-you?

It's really embarassing that they (Muslim Brotherhood) are probably laughing at us behind our back for being such a weak and gullible nation now.
