Raymond Ibrahim: Obama’s Secret Directive Supporting Global Islamism

A recent Gulf News report sheds some light on how and why the United States helped bring the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies to power, followed by all the subsequent chaos and atrocities in the Mideast region.

Large portions of the report follow with my commentary interspersed for added context:

Dubai: For the past decade, two successive US administrations have maintained close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and Libya, to name just the most prominent cases.

The Obama administration conducted an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2010 and 2011, beginning even before the events known as the “Arab Spring” erupted in Tunisia and in Egypt. The President personally issued Presidential Study Directive 11 (PSD-11) in 2010, ordering an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood and other “political Islamist” movements, including the ruling AKP in Turkey, ultimately concluding that the United States should shift from its longstanding policy of supporting “stability” in the Middle East and North Africa (that is, support for “stable regimes” even if they were authoritarian), to a policy of backing “moderate” Islamic political movements (emphasis in bold added throughout).

And we have certainly witnessed this shift. Chaos and the Islamic ascendancy in the Middle East and North Africa never flourished as under the Obama administration—and precisely because the administration shifted from supporting stability under secular-minded autocrats.

The most significant example of this is how the Obama administration threw Hosni Mubarak—a U.S. ally for three decades—under the bus in order to support the Islamists, most specifically the Muslim Brotherhood. And we saw how that ended—with another revolution, hailed as the largest revolution in human history, with the average Egyptian accusing Obama of being a terrorist supporter.

I recall seeing several articles during Arab Spring that Americans were in those countries agitating for a violent change and suggesting they were Administration (Obama)operatives. However, the stories sort of disappeared as there were no follow-ups, at least none that I saw. Anyone know if it is fact or fiction??

Important article ping.

I think it’s true, based on: gut hunches and — remember that State Department woman who was encouraging the protestors in the campout in the square/ Ukraine? Putin released a recording of her saying something like, ‘Keep up the good work.” Bad on details here, but I think his stink is on ALL of the ‘spring’ revolutions.

Based on the events happening all over the world,one would have to agree that Obama is funding and encouraging terrorism throughout the entire world.

I watched a speech by weather guy Joe Bastardi last night. He's fighting AGW alarmism. I doing this from memory. “You need faith to fight, but you need to fight for your faith.” It's just so overwhelming, but that's what Barak wants, to overwhelm us until we give up.

Operation Arab Spring was run by Clinton, Obama, and Jarrett.
