Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood
The Washington Times ^ | June 3, 2015 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 06/04/2015 11:12:12 AM PDT by jazusamo

President Obama and his administration continue to support the global Islamist militant group known the Muslim Brotherhood. A White House strategy document regards the group as a moderate alternative to more violent Islamist groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State.

The policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11. The directive was produced in 2011 and outlines administration support for political reform in the Middle East and North Africa, according to officials familiar with the classified study.

Efforts to force the administration to release the directive or portions of it under the Freedom of Information Act have been unsuccessful.

White House National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan declined to comment on PSD-11. “We have nothing for you on this,” she said.

The directive outlines why the administration has chosen the Muslim Brotherhood, which last year was labeled a terrorist organization by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates as a key vehicle of U.S. backing for so-called political reform in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia in recent months appears to be moderating its opposition to the Brotherhood in a bid to gain more regional support against pro-Iran rebels in Yemen.

The UAE government also has labeled two U.S. affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, as terrorist support groups. Both groups denied the UAE claims. Egypt is considering imposing a death sentence on Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood-backed former president who was ousted in military coup in July 2013.

Giving Iran billions, and allowing them to build a bomb is too.

You are wrong. I heard absolutely yesterday that he was Jewish.

That’s a switch. Obama used to be out in the open with his support of the MB terrorists.

I wouldn’t be so quick to conclude that he is explicitly backing the Muslim Brotherhood. Rather, he is backing anything that builds up Islam.

Sure, he favored Morsi over Mubarak, and worse, over al-Sisi. But he’s also doing his best to hand large chunks of Iraq and Syria to Iran.

He’s an equal opportunity booster of the two camps of Islam, in the interests of promoting the religion and its rule against the civilized world. (I didn’t say, the “Christian West”, because ultimatley the Chinese and the Southeast Asians will be targets of Islam, too.

Don’t that beat all, first Jewish president. The narcissist just can’t help it, anything to pump himself up to someone.

“Sure, he favored Morsi over Mubarak, and worse, over al-Sisi. But he’s also doing his best to hand large chunks of Iraq and Syria to Iran.”

Correct. We have to give 0b0z0tallah credit where credit is due. By his lousy anti-American policy, he got an unfathomable alliance that couldn’t have come together in a million years! Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Kuwait, Egypt and......ISRAEL are communicating and taking action without a word to this regime.

This Arab NATO, if you will, will take care of Islamic terrorists in Yemen and Libya, Gaza, etc. possibly by direct invasion when air strikes aren’t enough.

What a title”

“Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood”

Secretly, my foot!
