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.

Right sentiment, but there'll be no impact. The President doesn't govern Europe, Russia or China. Once trade starts you won't stop it over a little thing like nukes targeted on Israel
I have known this for years. He truly hates this country and everything it stands for. He and his cronies are doing their best to destroy it. When will people wake up?
Secretly! He’s been backing his Moslem brotherhood comrades in arms from his very first presidential speech ( in Cairo, Egypt not in America) where he got the MB terrorists sprung from prison so he could help them take over the entire Egyptian government. It’s a miracle the Egyptian people managed to free themselves from the MB dictatorship. Ever since, O has been trying to subvert Egypt and force the MB gangsters back into power. Nothing secret about it

There’s nothing secret about it.
And he has never denied that. He has never said he wants good things for America.
He is a hater intent on bad things.
seems none of this matters. republican congress critters will do NOTHING to stop it.
NOTHING.
once you let that sink in, you’ll understand how bad the next 18 months are going to be
SECRETLY???
Not much of a secret.
This is absolutely SHOCKING!!! I had no idea it was a secret...
I’m shocked to hear that Obama is backing terrorists! Shocked, I say!
That may well be. But Boner and McConnell are willing accomplices. Neither can be trusted.
I hold the entire Republican Party responsible for allowing its “leadership” to deceive the American people. They do not deserve our votes IMO.
I am Jewish and he don’t go to our Temple!
