Former Egyptian Ambassador: Trump Should Undo Obama’s Sponsorship Of Muslim Brotherhood

President Abdel Fatah Sisi’s visit to the United States later this month will be an opportunity to undermine the Muslim Brotherhood’s standing in Washington, a former Egyptian ambassador to the US said.

“Presidents Trump and Sisi can break the ice created during the Obama administration,” he said. “Without doing injustice to Obama, he adopted the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

He added that during Obama’s presidency, “the Muslim Brotherhood shifted their international center of gravity from London to Washington. In recent years the Muslim Brotherhood penetrated American institutions and think tanks, and disseminated their ideology as an alternative to extremism.”

The Muslim Brotherhood forged ideas and promoted people “that were recruited even by the National Security Council, and from there they disseminated the marketable view that their Islamic model is a moderate one that serves as a counterweight to terror and extremism, and this view found resonance in the United States.”

Onetime Muslim president Morsi was convicted of “ordering the arrest and torture of Egyptian protesters;" some 817 protesters died at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood’s savagery. Morsi was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2015.

In Egypt's post-Morsi era, then-Gen al Sisi (now Egyptian president) refused to take Obama's phone call---b/c he knew Obama wanted al Sisi to leave the M/B alone.

Nevertheless, Gen al Sisi proceeded to smash the M/B and throw them out of Egyptian politics....he vowed to rebuild the 65 Christian churches the M/B had savagely torched.

=============================================

It should be remembered that while Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were ruling Egypt, Obama and Hillary showered them with praise and provided billions of dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes. Egypt has unceremoniously thrown the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.... and hasn’t forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt under al-Sisi has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with the M/B and advancing their terrorist activities.

Looks like Hillary can check-off Egypt as NOT a partner in her sap-happy foreign policy ally list.

==============================================

POINT TO PONDER The Clinton Foundation employee, Gehad al Haddad, who was also a Muslim Brotherhood activist AT THE SAME TIME has been jailed by the Egyptian govt. (reported by H/T Western Journalism).

Gehad means jihad in Farsi.

AS FREEPER CLAUD POSTED---- I don’t follow Egyptian politics, but it was no secret Morsi et al. had no love for the Christian Copts. I saw al-Sisi visit a Coptic Church in Cairo to huge cheers, his kindness and graciousness to the Christians there and to the Patriarch (to whom he apologized profusely for interrupting prayers); that told me all I needed to know about Obama’s Egypt policy. It is unfathomable how utterly, completely, perversely wrong our government was in Egypt. Obama is a loathsome human being.

NOTEORTHY---Pres al-Sisi is one of the world's master strategists......bold, decisive and unerring. He received his master's degree at a Pennsylvania War College in Carlisle PA, in 2006.
