CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military-backed interim government on Wednesday declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, criminalizing all its activities, its financing and even membership to the group from which the country's ousted president hails.

The announcement is a dramatic escalation of the fight between the government and group, which has waged near-daily protests since the July 3 popularly backed military coup that toppled President Mohammed Morsi.

Yep, Egypt gets it. And al Sissi will squash the MB and their defenders. Dictatorial? I don’t think so, the Egyptian people are behind this. At a public demonstration they were chanting “death to the Muslim Brotherhood”.

Obozo can just butt out. The Egyptians are not going under the MB/Obozo boot. Not going to happen.


The Muslim Brotherhood ran Egypt’s economy into the ground in the space of a few short years and by the time they were ousted they brought Egypt to within two months of having the country running out of food and too bankrupt to buy any more food.

Egypt still survives only because Sissi Ousted Morosi and was able to secure a donation amounting to several tens of Billion dollars from the Saudis and the UAE to float the country and forestall starvation and economic collapse of the country.

Hopefully, Egypt will send so special ops guys to rid America of Obozo's Muslim Brotherhood friends:

Youssef: Disastrous MidEast policy implies WH, Muslim Brotherhood in ‘lockstep’ Wednesday, August 21, 2013 9:09:13 AM · 21 of 21

An Egyptian magazine claims that the six American Islamist activists (pictured above) who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy.

The Dec. 22 story published in Egypt’s Rose El-Youssef magazine (read an IPT translation here) suggests the six turned the White House “from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The story is largely unsourced, but its publication is considered significant in raising the issue to Egyptian readers.

Egyptian-magazine-claims-obama-administration-filled-wth-muslim-brotherhood-appointees-2013

This is all finally coming to light…but its too late. The damage has already been done. The six named people include: Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization, which the magazine identifies as a Brotherhood “subsidiary.” It suggests that Alikhan was responsible for the “file of Islamic states” in the White House and that he provides the direct link between the Obama administration and the Arab Spring revolutions of 2011.

Elibiary, who has endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb, may have leaked secret materials contained in Department of Homeland Security databases, according to the magazine. He, however, denies having any connection with the Brotherhood.

Elibiary also played a role in defining the Obama administration’s counterterrorism strategy, and the magazine asserts that Elibiary wrote the speech Obama gave when he told former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave power but offers no source or evidence for the claim.

According to Rose El-Youssef, Rashad Hussain maintained close ties with people and groups that it says comprise the Muslim Brotherhood network in America. This includes his participation in the June 2002 annual conference of the American Muslim Council, formerly headed by convicted terrorist financier Abdurahman Alamoudi. He also participated in the organizing committee of the Critical Islamic Reflection along with important figures of the American Muslim Brotherhood such as Jamal Barzinji,Hisham al-Talib and Yaqub Mirza.

Regarding al-Marayati, who has been among the most influential Muslim American leaders in recent years, the magazine draws connections between MPAC in the international Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure.

Magid heads ISNA, which was founded by Brotherhood members, was appointed by Obama in 2011 as an adviser to the Department of Homeland Security. The magazine says that has also given speeches and conferences on American Middle East policy at the State Department and offered advice to the FBI.

Rose El-Youssef says Patel maintains a close relationship with Hani Ramadan, the grandson of Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, and is a member of the Muslim Students Association, which it identifies as “a large Brotherhood organization.” source – IPT

From the article: The Brotherhood, founded in 1928, denounced violence in the late 1970s.

Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981.

I guess Egypt will not negotiate with obummer’s administration since his admin would be included in their terrorist listing.

Does this mean a certain occupant of the White House can’t visit Cairo anymore?

Dictatorial? I don’t think so, the Egyptian people are behind this.

Of course it's dictatorial and tyrannical. There is no inherent conflict between that and popular support.

Heck O’bozo employs the MB in his ranks.

Ya sure it's not the other way around?

The folks many refer to as “moderate muslims” are the same ones I describe as “westernized Arabs.” They tend to be muslim by birth but are not flying carpet pilots. They’ve seen western lifestyle and prosperity, like it, and are not interested in heating a tent in the desert with dry camel poo. The Egypts in particular have over a half century of serious contact with westerners and know there’s a better way than hiding under a burka. It’s going to take awhile yet but I think they’re going to drive the MB crowd back into the casbah where they can trade sheep and girlfriends for the next 12 centuries by themselves.

Egypt notices sky is blue. Obozo still insists that it’s terra cotta or beige, or maybe aquamarine.
