Obama Considers Muslim Brotherhood Type Fighters as Moderates
Examiner.com ^ | Sept 12,2013 | Steven H Ahle

Posted on 09/16/2013 2:04:18 PM PDT by Red Statements

Jonathan Spyer, is an academic with degrees in international relations, and who lives in Israel and also traveled with rebel fighters in Syria, claims that the so called moderates are MB types, who believe in Islamic law. Spyers says that when Obama speaks of the moderates leading the rebellion in Syria, these are the fighters he is talking about.

“ “Undoubtedly outside of Syria, and in the Syrian opposition structures, there are civilian political activists and leaders who are opposed to al-Qaida and opposed to Islamism. There are also civilian activists and structures within the country which are opposed to al-Qaida and Islamism. But when one looks at the armed rebel groups, one finds an obvious vast majority there who are adherents of Islamism of one kind or another — stretching from Muslim Brotherhood-type formations all the way across to groups openly aligned with al-Qaida central and with al-Zawahiri.”

They’re moderately genocidal killers.

Well, that explains a lot. Define “Moderation” low enough and everybody can qualify - except TEA Party types and their supporter, of course.

Moslem Brotherhood folks are Sunni activists, his folks, doing what Moslems do when there is a little extra wealth in the Moslem world. They are in no way ‘extreme’ when measured against the demands of their religion.

Obama knows so little it would be much easier to list what he does know.

He is out of his league as President. He was out of his league as a US Senator. He was out of his league as a State Senator. He even was not honest enough to keep his law license.

I suspect he was out of his league as a community organizer.

MB are Salafists, just like Al Qaeda. They both believe in the same sort of Islamic conquest via violent jihad but the MB thinks the time is later while Al Qaeda thinks it is now.

Since the MB has been booted to Gaza, from Qatar and Egypt, some members may decide to move a bit to the other side of the spectrum. With luck they’ll switch to jihad on their shia Hezbollah cohorts due to Syria/Lebanon.

Pass the popcorn please. The Nobel Peace Prize winner has them fighting from Tunisia clear across to Iraq now.

The only problems with the Mohammedans slaughtering each other are that there is a lot of collateral slaughter of Christians and other, some tangentially Islamic, minorities and the determination of the Islamist US government to drag itself by the neck into the moozy maelstrom.

It doesn’t matter how out of his league he is. He is afront for the Sauds and for Soros.
