Egyptian Christians, Muslims March Against Obama
AINA ^ | 23 Aug 13 | Mark Martin

Posted on 08/23/2013 6:41:41 PM PDT by xzins

Hundreds of Egyptian protestors, many of them Coptic Christians, rallied in front of the White House Thursday, outraged over President Barack Obama's support of the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Don't support terrorists!" protestor Hale Salem said. "Don't support terrorists! Please, Mr. Obama I voted for you -- don't support terrorists."

"He's asking us as Egyptians to leave the terrorists in Egypt alone? To kill us, to kill our people? It's not gonna happen," another protestor declared.

Muslims were also present, voicing their opposition against the Brotherhood.

"I'm a Muslim," demonstrator Mina Khalifa said. "It's not a Christian thing. It's an Egyptian thing."

Another Muslim protestor, Suzanne Elnahal, said, "They are terrorists; they have done so many problems in Egypt."

Meanwhile, there are new concerns the old regime is making a comeback, as former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was released from prison and flown to a military hospital. He is now under house arrest.

But protestors say Mubarak wasn't as bad as ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

"He's not really a good guy, but he's not at least a terrorist," anti-Brotherhood demonstrator Layla Sedhom said. "But Mohammed Morsi is a terrorist. He belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood."

The protestors say the Egyptian military is needed to keep order.

"They protect us from (the) Muslim Brotherhood," Madline Mansour, a Coptic Christian, said. "Muslim Brotherhood kill us, kill all Christian people. Morsi is a terrorist. He belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood."

Those at the rally say the Brotherhood has burned dozens of Christian churches, businesses, and more.

"For the Coptic Christians, they burn their houses. They're targeting them," one protestor said.

The protestors are also angered by Western media coverage of the situation in Egypt. They rallied against the Washington Post, accusing both the newspaper and Obama of being biased in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.

"So the Obama administration helps the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; that's not right," anti-Brotherhood protestor Sawers Kamel said. "That has a lot of question marks. Why? Why?"

Boom! Evidence U.S. Bribed Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3058137/posts

The trials that are scheduled to begin in Cairo on August 25th will feature a litany of charges against the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Included among them are murders, assassinations, prison escapes, sniping, indiscriminate killing of demonstrators, and collaborating with foreign governments, to include both the United States and Qatar.

Evidence we have obtained lends credibility to the charges of “gifts (bribes) being taken in U.S. dollars from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo” that were distributed to top ministerial level officials in the Mursi government.

Mainstream media didn’t report ‘a lot’ of what was going on in Egypt and most of it false. Journalists were not doing there home work at all...terrible the way they covered this event...and for the most part they swallowed the MB tactics...which is why the MB use them.

Additionally they were always late with informing the public here in the US...because they have to abide by the networks standards and whatever the bias is to frame it accordingly....

Further they were late getting the table of this event...FR was on it from the get go and we have the whole story here.

We learned, those of us tracking the events in Egypt, that the news reports were so biased and under-reported that it was stunning to say the least...not to mention those reporting having little understanding of why and what was going on and the dynamics which were playing out.

So it isn’t odd at all our news agencies are basically crippled when it comes to letting us know the facts....

I don’t expect it will while OBozo’s in office....too many keeping the lid on so much he’s done...and even when it is known it will be covered one way or another...this we know.

Still, I think the public IS becoming aware more and more, that this administration has failed...and this even among those who supported it.

What is ‘ODD’ yldstrk...is the rest of the world sees very clearly about this administration are are unafraid to print it...and do.

On the latest Syria chemical event....Obzmz got slammed by Russia and China...all the verbiage OBOZo wanted used was stripped from the final statement by the Security Council .....He failed to get the support he wanted....again. So it was no wonder he then announced the CIA would be involved now. Obozo wasn’t about to be bullied by China And Russia.

What happened to the Google Executive in Egypt credited for “Revolution 2.0?” Seems the liberal left may have been a driving force behind the overthrow to the Egyptian government. The liberal media thought it was a great story for a while but it has certainly faded since the MB has been tossed out of power.

We were running guns through Benghazi to help terrorists overthrow the Syrian government. Imagine how our government would react if terrorists were trying to overthrow our government?

We helped overthrow the Libyan government on behalf of the muslim brotherhood. We gave the green light for the overthrow of Tunisia.

I am afraid this type of behavior is going to come back and haunt us.

.....”I am afraid this type of behavior is going to come back and haunt us”.......

More than haunt IMO....the Administration is leaving us wide open for another attack right here.....especially if we enter the Syrian arena.

The anger toward the US is very high among the Jihadists and terrorists.....but now even the nations citizens and leaders have just about had enough of the OBOZO maneuvering.They see him as he is..”weak” and why we're seeing so many International Leaders making their moves.

We are not in, even remotely, a good place on the World Stage in any arena.

That's an understatement. Never in the course of human events has failure been as ubiquitous as it currently is in our foreign affairs. There is not a single corner of the world anywhere where our standing is better than it was in 2008.

>> “I’m a Muslim,” demonstrator Mina Khalifa said. “It’s not a Christian thing. It’s an Egyptian thing.”

The wisdom if Islam...

Nonetheless, Egypt predating both Christianity and stupidity, deserves its provincial autonomy.

Youssef: Disastrous MidEast policy implies WH, Muslim Brotherhood in ‘lockstep’ Wednesday, August 21, 2013 9:09:13 AM · 21 of 21

An Egyptian magazine claims that the six American Islamist activists (pictured above) who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy.

The Dec. 22 story published in Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine (read an IPT translation here) suggests the six turned the White House “from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The story is largely unsourced, but its publication is considered significant in raising the issue to Egyptian readers.

Egyptian-magazine-claims-obama-administration-filled-wth-muslim-brotherhood-appointees-2013

This is all finally coming to light…but its too late. The damage has already been done. The six named people include: Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization, which the magazine identifies as a Brotherhood “subsidiary.” It suggests that Alikhan was responsible for the “file of Islamic states” in the White House and that he provides the direct link between the Obama administration and the Arab Spring revolutions of 2011.

Elibiary, who has endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb, may have leaked secret materials contained in Department of Homeland Security databases, according to the magazine. He, however, denies having any connection with the Brotherhood.

Elibiary also played a role in defining the Obama administration’s counterterrorism strategy, and the magazine asserts that Elibiary wrote the speech Obama gave when he told former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave power but offers no source or evidence for the claim.

According to Rose El-Youssef, Rashad Hussain maintained close ties with people and groups that it says comprise the Muslim Brotherhood network in America. This includes his participation in the June 2002 annual conference of the American Muslim Council, formerly headed by convicted terrorist financier Abdurahman Alamoudi. He also participated in the organizing committee of the Critical Islamic Reflection along with important figures of the American Muslim Brotherhood such as Jamal Barzinji,Hisham al-Talib and Yaqub Mirza.

Regarding al-Marayati, who has been among the most influential Muslim American leaders in recent years, the magazine draws connections between MPAC in the international Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure.

Magid heads ISNA, which was founded by Brotherhood members, was appointed by Obama in 2011 as an adviser to the Department of Homeland Security. The magazine says that has also given speeches and conferences on American Middle East policy at the State Department and offered advice to the FBI.

Rose El-Youssef says Patel maintains a close relationship with Hani Ramadan, the grandson of Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, and is a member of the Muslim Students Association, which it identifies as “a large Brotherhood organization.” source – IPT

Thanks for the heads-up, GD.

Everyday this berserk jerk has his filthy hands on the levers of OUR govt, is another attack aginst Western Civilization.

Islam is all about hatred and “triumphalism.”

Only God knows what Obomba and his fanatical appointees are plotting against Chrisian America behind closed doors.

They need to find another outlet for their hatred-—preferably outside Washington, DC.
