Admin Official: Obama "not ruling out legitimacy" of Muslim Brotherhood for New Egypt Gov't
Monday, January 31, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/31/2011 8:18:18 PM PST by kristinn

An Obama administration official, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said the administration is open to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood being in the government of Egypt that will likely replace the rule of Hosni Mubarak:

The official said that while the administration was concerned about "some elements" of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and other non-secular groups participating in the demonstrations, it was "not ruling out their legitimacy" and place in a future government.

Obama was aware that the Muslim Brotherhood and others were in the audience when he spoke of "a new beginning" in a 2009 speech in Cairo that was directed at the Islamic world, the official said. He cited a passage in the speech in which Obama said that "no system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other" and that "America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them."

The Post buried this unsettling revelation in an article about the administration charting a "delicate course to oust Mubarak."

Voice of America reported that at today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration had no contact with the Muslim Brotherhood:

Gibbs was also asked about the U.S. position on potential participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in any new governing structure, saying that the United States has had no contact with the group.

"We have as we have throughout the world, standards for that contact - that is adherence to the law, adherence to non-violence and a willingness to be part of a democratic process, but not use that democratic process to simply instill yourself into power," he said.

While the group professes to be non-violent, the Muslim Brotherhood is widely considered to be the father of international Islamic terrorism and is thought to be working to create a global Islamic caliphate.

Obama Administration Holding Secret Meetings With Hamas Terror Group

Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, June 27, 2010, 2:57 PM
A top-ranking official in Hamas said Friday that the terror group is holding talks with the Obama Administration. They want to keep the meetings secret for fear it would rouse the Jewish lobby in the United States.
YNet News reported:

A senior Hamas figure said Friday that official and unofficial US sources have asked the Islamist group to refrain from making any statements regarding contacts with Washington, this following reports that a senior American official is due to arrive in an Arab country in the coming days to relay a telegram from the Obama Administration.

The Hamas figure told the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper that the Americans fear discussing the talks publicly would “rouse the Jewish lobby and other pressure groups in the US and cause them to pressure the administration to suspend all talks with Hamas.”

The Hamas figure, who is close to Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the government in Gaza, added, “This is a sensitive subject. The Americans don’t want anyone to comment on it because this would catch the attention of pressure groups (in the US) and cause problems.”

He said Hamas’ exiled leadership in Damascus is overseeing the contacts behind closed doors.

You know, these “anonymous officials” are really idiots. Let the government speak officially, not through self-important or self-serving leakers.

Thanks.

The most open administration is the most underhanded.

If we don’t get rid of him in 2012 we won’t have a country left.

Napolitano Meets with Muslim Brotherhood Leaders
As part of a new “counter-radicalization” program, the Homeland Security secretary quietly met with individuals tied to the outlawed terror group. (This is Part One of a two-part article.)

February 17, 2010 - by Richard Pollock

Last month, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her senior staff privately met in Washington, D.C., with a select group of Muslim, Arab, and Sikh organizations. Among the mix were three organizations directly associated with an outlawed terrorist entity — the Muslim Brotherhood.

Secretary Napolitano spent an hour and a half briefing them on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) counter-radicalization and anti-terrorist programs. The intensive briefings spanned two days (January 27 and 28) and were called by the DHS.

Although there is no evidence of an exchange of classified information, this meeting was the beginning of an Obama administration program aimed at devising a new information-sharing framework with the Muslim organizations — some of them regarded as extremist because of their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The group is to meet regularly with DHS senior aides and with Napolitano. This program was imported from the United Kingdom. The Obama administration has decided to replicate the UK program to win over Muslims and to get them to collaborate with the federal government

Yesterday on the BBC they were interviewing policemen in Cairo that were in hiding. They said if the Muslim Brotherhood found out where they were, The Muslim Brotherhood would kill them and their families.

I guess this is all fine by Obama. It is certainly fine with Bill Ayers who used to do that himself.

Oh how I wish that were true. We can overcome simple idiocy, but sheer evil of that magnitude calls for divine intervention.

Why would the Zero find the MB unacceptable? Its an islamic backed terrorist group.

The Zero is a muslim, he was brainwashed as a child and trained to be a sleeper in America.

Islam is a cult of death and there is no such thing as a moderate. The media wants to make people believe MB is moderate, but watch what happens when they gain power.

This will not end well. The leftists are all in a tizzy over the “People’s Revolution” in the Middle East. I’ve even read bloggers who actually think this will lead to peace in the region.

There are a lot of naive people who are in for one heck of a rude awakening.

Obama is a Connoisseur of Chaos, and he’s done it all over the world, in his self-appointed Messiah role: he did it in the Kenyan elections, BEFORE he was President, he’s certainly done it here, and he’s apparently been instrumental in working on the project of overthrowing Mubarak. Of course this chaos has always been there in embryonic form, and he’s done his best to exploit it, bring it to a head, and let the proverbial chips fall where they may. But if he thinks the Egyptian people are going to roll over and allow their country to fall under dominance by the Muslim Brotherhood, he’s sadly mistaken>What WILL happen, I think, is a long process whereby the MB will continue jockeying for prominence/dominance, and will be put in their place, which will likely be exactly where they are now, with nothing gained. Of course, Obama will take full credit for this, when Egypt emerges with a new leadership which will hopefully keep the Accords intact, and start on the road to address their REAL and PRACTICAL problems, which is what I think the Egyptian masses actually want.
If they think the MB has ANY talent for solving the huge problems of this huge country, they will think twice when the MB makes its Grand Plans clear. The Islamic Jihadists feed on the same kind of chaos Obama feeds on, and they are both going to receive their comeuppance in the coming weeks and months. Next in line-—Iran, whose ‘counter-revolution’ is long overdue. Isn’t it funny how little has been said or prognosticated about how this might be affecting the Iranian masses who were in the streets a few years ago?
No, the focus has all been on Ahmadinejad and how he must be drooling over visions of a new Caliphate.

...Obama has been meeting in secret with the Moslem Bro in the White House for the past two years.

From Human Events: "...OIC held its 'Islam and Muslims in America' conference last week in Chicago where a controversial White House appointee [Dalia Mogahed] rubbed elbows with Muslim Brotherhood front organizations—including unindicted co-conspirators from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the largest terrorist funding trial in U.S. history, the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial.... Dalia Mogahed is a big supporter of Sharia law."

From the London Telegraph: "Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President's Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was ‘oversimplified’ and the majority of women around the world associate it with ‘gender justice.’"

"gender justice"? More like gender genocide. I wonder how many other proponents of Sharia Law Obama has appointed.

From o’s Cairo speech:

“...I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground. As the Holy Koran tells us, *** ‘Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.’”
************
He used the K book 33:70 completely out of context for western ears. For MUSLIM ears,:
033.060
If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while;

033.061
Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering.

033.062
(Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

033.063
Men ask you about the hour; say: The knowledge of it is only with Allah, and what will make you comprehend that the : hour may be nigh.

033.064

Surely Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has prepared for them a burning fire,

033.065
To abide therein for a long time; they shall not find a protector or a helper.

033.066
On the day when their faces shall be turned back into the fire, they shall say: O would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!

033.067
And they shall say: O our Lord! surely we obeyed our leaders and our great men, so they led us astray from the path;

033.068
O our Lord! give them a double punishment and curse them with a great curse.

033.069
O you who believe! be not like those who spoke evil things of Musa, but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah.

***033.070
O you who believe! be careful of(your duty to) Allah and ***speak the right word,

033.071
He will put your deeds into a right state for you, and forgive you your faults; and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he indeed achieves a mighty success.

033.072
Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to be unfaithful to it and feared from it, and man has turned unfaithful to it; surely he is unjust, ignorant;

033.073
So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, and Allah will turn (mercifully) to the believers, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
*************
I urge you to pay attention to what the above chapter 33 in the Koran actually says, because Obama knows it well.

It means that the hour is quickly approaching wherein non-believers shall be defeated and dominated by “believers” in the countries and cities where they live. This has always been Allah’s way, and nothing has changed. Those who do not submit will be murdered in horrible ways. (Some translations refer to it as slaughter.)
Cities and countrysides will burn and there will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Starting forest fires and brush fires is as much a part of the islamic warfare manual, as is blowing up buildings and people. They are building mosques in cities and small towns all over the country in numbers that belie the statistics we are being fed as to what their actual numbers are. We now have credible threats against our banking abd financial intitutions,
o has gone as far as he can destroying our foundations from within the government. Now it’s time for plan b.
If anyone who didn’t convert by choice initially tries to convert after being captured, their punishment will be worse than anything imaginable.
In 33:69, Musa is Moses. In other words, Obama is the Moses of our time, and anyone who speaks ill of him is a liar, so do not speak ill of the ONE.
We have already seen that play out on a small scale. It will get worse.
Anyone who does not accept the offer to convert and submit to islam is unjust and ignorant, worthy of great punishment.
It is the way of islam to make the offer to convert three times. Obama has given two major speeches in islamic countries wherein he declared The US an islamic country. After his visit to Turkey, Turkey went hardline. The next speech will be here on American soil. He even danced around it during his state of the union speech. So far, much of what he has tried to do has been almost miraculously thwarted. But there are wheels within wheels.
This is a very real vision the muslims have. We think it cannot happen here, but it doesn’t matter what WE think. THEY believe it and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. The proverbial barbarians are already inside the gates...and he is importing more as we speak.
Forewarned is forearmed.
