PRESIDENT OBAMA
Cairo, Egypt
June 4, 2009
So let me be clear: No system of government can or should be imposed by one nation by any other.
That does not lessen my commitment, however, to governments that reflect the will of the people. Each nation gives life to this principle in its own way, grounded in the traditions of its own people. America does not presume to know what is best for everyone, just as we would not presume to pick the outcome of a peaceful election. But I do have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice; government that is transparent and doesnt steal from the people; the freedom to live as you choose. These are not just American ideas; they are human rights. And that is why we will support them everywhere. (Applause.)

Mubarik should have never let him speak in Egypt- a death trap!
That quote would be funny if it weren't for the mass carnage, bloodshed and suffering that has occurred in this world, a direct result of Islam's intolerance of anything and everyone not muslim.
A Must read: "Why Is Obama in Bed with the Muslim Brotherhood?

EXCERPTS:
These reports reveal the depth of the below-the-surface coordination between the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Libya and Jordan. This bloc of regimes and organizations is now becoming the greatest Islamist radical lobby ever to penetrate and infiltrate the White House, Congress, the State Department and the main decision making centers of the US government. All of this is happening at a time when the US government is going through its most strategically dangerous period in modern times because of its need to confront the Iranian Mullahs regime, which is expanding in the Middle East, as well as penetrating the United States, via powerful and influential allies.
It was just revealed two days ago that FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant Arabic groups who in the past have defended Hamas and Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements. At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed offensive. The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered offensive but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered anti-Islam by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
For the last six months at least, Obama has been cultivating a relationship with PM Erdoğan of Turkey. The budding relationship prompted Barry Rubin to ask, Why Is an Anti-American Islamist, Obamas Favorite ME Leader?
OBAMA WELCOMES BROTHERHOOD RUN FOR EGYPTIAN PRESIDENCY
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/03/obama-welcomes-brotherhood-run-for-egyptian-presidency/
The Muslim Brotherhood swore up and down that it wouldnt seek the Egyptian presidency as proof of its desire for a pluralistic society. At the last minute, the Brotherhood nominated Khairat el-Shater. According to the New York Times, State Department officials actually look at this as a good thing that could stop the more puritanical Salafists from winning.
State Department officials said they were untroubled and even optimistic about the Brotherhoods reversal of its pledge not to seek the presidency, the Times reports. Shater has had extensive contact with U.S. officials and has convinced them that hes not to be feared.
Apparently, these U.S. officials have forgotten about (or never were informed of) the Muslim Brotherhoods ideology and history.
In November, a Brotherhood spokesman stated without equivocation, The Sharia, the Muslim legal framework, must be the foundation for everything. On November 24, senior Brotherhood leaders publicly preached violent jihad, and the International Union of Muslim Scholars, a Brotherhood entity, declared that it is time to revive the duty of jihad in all its forms. One top leader, Mohamad Katatni, predicts that the revolution in Egypt would lead to the elimination of the state of Israel.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in January that Al-Qaeda probably will find it difficult to compete for local support with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and that non-violent, pro-democracy demonstrations challenge Al-Qaedas violent jihadist ideology and might yield increased political power for secular or moderate Islamist parties.
Good read. Thanks.
Good read. Thanks.
That’s ironic isn’t it?
I’d love to hear what Mubarack thinks about Obama and his speech now.
Mubarak didn’t like it when he gave it. obama issued special invitations to the muslim brotherhood even though they were listed as a terror org.
ALL the jihadis knew exactly what he was saying.
