State Department Apologizes for Promoting Muslim Cleric Who Backed Killing of U.S. Soldiers Tweet
Free Beacon ^ | 5/27/14 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 05/27/2014 11:23:27 AM PDT by Nachum

The State Department’s Counter Terrorism (CT) Bureau apologized on Tuesday for promoting a controversial Muslim scholar whose organization has reportedly backed Hamas and endorsed a fatwa authorizing the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

The apology came on the heels of a Friday Washington Free Beacon report detailing the CT Bureau’s promotion of Sheik Abdallah Bin Bayyah, the vice president of a radical Muslim scholars group that was founded by a radical Muslim Brotherhood leader who has called “for the death of Jews and Americans.”

Bin Bayyah himself is one of several clerics who endorsed a 2004 fatwa, or religious order, endorsing the killing of U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq.

The CT Bureau apologized multiple times on Tuesday for tweeting in favor of Bin Bayyah and promoting an article on his website.

“This should not have been tweeted and has since been deleted,” the CT Bureau tweeted at users who expressed anger over the original message.

“It was wrong and should not have been tweeted,” the bureau later tweeted in response to other outraged individuals.

Oh, thank you for explaining. With these Dems, any sort of overreach seems possible. At least we’re not there quite yet.

Mmmmmmmm........a-n-o-t-h-e-r State Dept atrocity? I guess Hillary doesn't remember. Poor dear, she must be having blackouts from that nasty fall.

<><> She can't remember a thing about Benghazi.

<><> She doesn't remember a thing about giving Boko Haram a pass.

<><> She is in the dark about the $6 billion missing from the State Dept.

<><> She can't remember the Clinton Foundation's Muslim terrorist who was planning jihad while employed by her and Bill.

<><> She can't remember the NY Times reporting that the Clinton Foundations were rife w/ Clinton corruption, greed, cronyism, and shady deals.

<><> She can't remember that the Sultan of Brunei contributed to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> She can't remember the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation gave a rare grant to Harry Reid's grand-daughter (for some unknown global purpose).

========================================

It's a shame she can't remember how long it took her to recuperate from her nasty fall and that horrid blood clot. Her all-girl state Dept said she was up and ready a week later. Bill said it took her six months.

She is rarely seen standing any more.

Her left eye is the crazy eye, can't focus.....indicating brain damage.

CAN SHE REMEMBER ANY OF THIS? Did she suffered a brain aneurysm. Did she become comatose? How many times has she blacked out? Did she go to any neurological centers? Was she in rehab?

Even with months of rehabilitation, victims of aneurisms can't hold a thought for more than 20 seconds, according to experts in the field.
