"John McCain was a stronger ally than both Erdogan and Tamim"
Egyptian media has accused the late US senator and presidential nominee John McCain of being the ‘Godfather’, ‘leader’, and ‘real Supreme Guide’ of the Muslim Brotherhood organisation.
In remarks, he made during a talk show aired on Sada El-Balad TV, the Egyptian media personality and TV host Ahmed Moussa claimed that McCain, recognised in the US as a national war hero and longtime senator, was, in fact, the ‘real Supreme Guide’ of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“John McCain is the real Supreme Guide of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, not Badee and not Akef,” Moussa said.
“Today was John McCain’s funeral, which the leaders of the criminal Brotherhood in America have taken part in,” he continued, “ and they performed the Absentee funeral prayer for John McCain in Qatar, Turkey, USA, and Britain. ”
“[McCain] was the main supporter for the terrorist Brotherhood,” he added. “Senator McCain was the one who opened up the Congress to the Brotherhood. He was the one arranging the meetings and appointments and providing them with protection.”
The American politician and Vietnam veteran died on 25 August, aged 81, from the effects of brain cancer and was buried at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland after a small private ceremony.
US President Donald Trump ordered the White House flag to be re-lowered in recognition of McCain’s record and service to the country, following outrage at the raising of the flag for only two days of national mourning.
Moussa said that McCain was “a stronger ally” to the Muslim Brotherhood than Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Moussa’s comments come days after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi had approved the controversial Law of the National Media Commission, a media regulator to be chosen by him with the power to control all mass media in the country, which is the second largest recipient of American foreign aid after Israel.
LOL if TRUE!!
LOL if TRUE!!
Everyone knows this. Right?
Hoax?
Well, McCain certainly gave our first Muslim president a major leg up in the 2008 election.
Short answer...YES
John play-both-sides Weathervain McCain.
Is this satire?
Now that the mourning is over, time to get the truth out.
McCain was as much a friend to our enemies as Obama. The only thing that McCain did different, was that he didn’t bow to other world leaders, including the Muslim despots.
Sen.McCain ran interference for the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terrorism when Michelle Bachmann tried to heroically raise the issue. This was, of course, what the “New York Times” wanted, so I can understand why the Egyptians curse him for his support for this terrorist, subversive group — even if the Egyptian press exaggerates a little.
Agree. ME Monitor is legitimate.
Like US sources, it depends upon the author how the accuracy is. And the country they operate in affects that. Any article written by someone in Turkey is 100% State Approved Propaganda.
Now, Al-Monitor is a fine source. But not related.
Agree. When McCain and Lindsey Graham went to Egypt right after MB were overthrown with Morsi’s removal, they entered a hot environment. Egyptians were in no humor to speak with them.
On Twitter at the time, I warned both McCain and Graham it was a bad idea to go there. They found out they were not appreciated and accomplished absolutely Zero there. They were lucky they were not harmed.
I have friends there who were deeply involved in the events around the overthrow. It was a dangerous time for them in Egypt, until Sisi stepped in and supported the Egyptian people. They love him for that even today, but some MB sympathizers are still there and afraid to show their head.
He was Commander-in-Chief of ISIL! He said he Talked with them all time.
What would make it satire?
Assad is Evil, ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood are even more evil.
US employed jihadi’s to remove Assad for a long time. Very bad choice of partners. It was about money, not ideology. Not a smart move.
Sounds like BS.
hardly news...we have the pictures to prove it.
You dont think Songbird McCain rose to the evil level of Turkish dictator Erdogan?
The Muslem Brotherhood is praising the late US Senator for being their Godfather before the maggots have hatched!
