Deeply conservative movement...so that’s the spin. UNBELIEAVABLE.

They had direct ties all the way back to the Nazi’s, they received funding from the nazi’s and they assasinated an Israeli PM.

Just unbelievable...simply unbelievable.

I’m sure the MSM would love to characterize them all as ‘deeply conservative’!

‘Obama met Muslim Brotherhood members in U.S.’

Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum reports president met group’s members who live in U.S., Europe.

U.S. President Barack Obama met with members of Egypt’s Islamist opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, earlier this year, according to a report in Thursday editions of the Egyptian daily newspaper Almasry Alyoum.

The newspaper reported that Obama met the group’s members, who reside in the U.S. and Europe, in Washington two months ago.

According to the report, the members requested that news of the meeting not be publicized. They expressed to Obama their support for democracy and the war on terror.

The newspaper also reported that the members communicated to Obama their position that the Muslim Brotherhood would abide by all agreements Egypt has signed with foreign countries.

I read that he has hosted the Muslim brotherhood (probably in preparation for this “protest” ouster of the Egyptian government) in the White Hut.

...the Muslim Brotherhood, the deeply conservative...

Somehow, when this thing really blows up, they're now laying the ground work to equate The Teaparty conservatives to Mooselimb Brotherhood "conservatives".

Obama Administration Lifts US Ban on Muslim Brotherhood Leader
01/22/10 | IsraelNationalNews.com | by Avi Yellin

The Barack Obama administration has decided to lift a ban preventing Muslim Scholar Professor Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States. Ramadan, an Egyptian currently living in Switzerland, is a leading member of Europe’s Muslim Brotherhood branch and the grandson of the movement’s founder Hassan al-Banna. The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization for Hamas and some of the groups that recently merged into al-Qaeda, including Ayman al Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

Ramadan was invited to teach at the University of Notre Dame in 2004 but the George W. Bush administration revoked his visa, citing a statute that applies to those who have “endorsed or espoused” terrorism. The administration later dropped the terror endorsement claim and linked the ban to $1,336 in donations Ramadan made between 1998 and 2002 to a Swiss charity that was later blacklisted by the US.

Although the White House asked the court last March to uphold the Bush-era entry ban on Ramadan, the administration has now decided to lift the ban and possibly allow both Ramadan and South African Muslim activist Professor Adam Habib onto American soil. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters that the government no longer views Ramadan or Habib as representing threats to the United States. “The next time Professor Ramadan or Professor Habib apply for a visa, they will not be found inadmissible on the basis of the facts that led to denial when they last applied.”


October 1, 2010 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Tariq Ramadan, the son of [now deceased] Said Ramadan, former Secty. General of the World Islamic Council [source, http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05193/536684.stm] and grandson of Hassan Al Banna [see, Wiki bio, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ramadan] the 1928 founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, is headlining the 16th Annual CAIR Banquet on October 9.

According to the Weekly Standard, it was Said Ramadan who was the likely author of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ambitious plan to topple Western democracies, variously called, “the Plan” or “the Project.” [Link to doc here An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America. The document was entered into evidence in U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation, America’s most important terror funding prosecution.

“Said Ramadan was one of the most important Islamist thinkers of the 20th century. He is probably the author of “The Project,” a 14-page document dated 1982 found by the Swiss secret service in 2001. “The Project” is a roadmap for installing Islamic regimes in the West by propaganda, preaching, and if necessary war.” [source, http://www.weeklystandard.com/content/public/articles/000/000/012/800naxnt.asp]

Muslims Target Tariq Ramadan, Brotherhood
by IPT News • Apr 16, 2010

Excerpt:

Jasser said that Western elites misconstrue critical issues in the current struggle with radical Islam. They erroneously believe that the most important aspect of the conflict is whether an Islamist organization is violent or nonviolent.

But truly moderate Muslims spend most of their time dealing with the factors that drive people toward radical Islam. And a major factor is “political Islam,” which Jasser described as “the 800-pound elephant in the room.”

A key component of this consists of making excuses for terrorism and objecting to U.S. defense actions against violent jihadists. Jasser cited an interview during which a reporter asked Ramadan about the recent announcement that the United States would target Anwar al-Awlaki –an Al Qaeda-linked imam who has endorsed terrorist attacks like the Fort Hood massacre and the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing.

Ramadan voiced objections to U.S. efforts to kill Awlaki, saying the imam felt “estrangement” from mainstream American society and had been “pushed away.”
Jasser and Mansur voiced particularly strong objections to this “root cause” argument, saying it was an attempt to make excuses for Awlaki’s criminal behavior. Ramadan also accepted money from Iran as compensation for a television show on the regime controlled PRESS Television.

“I would not take remuneration from a government that engages in the oppression of Muslims,” Jasser said.

Ramadan stands for “obfuscation and denial” and represents the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, he added.

Fatah, who also published this column on Ramadan in the Montreal Gazette, blasted the “cowardice of Western society” in refusing to confront efforts to “recreate the world of [Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, Tariq Ramadan’s grandfather] in Canada.”
