Good Grief. Obama Administration Held Meetings With Muslim Brotherhood Islamists

But, remember… Obama is pro-Israel.
In February, Kamal al-Halbavi, a senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, traveled to Iran and said he hoped that Egypt would have a “a good government, like the Iranian government, and a good president like Mr. Ahmadinejad, who is very brave.”

Kamal al-Halbavi (Kamal Helbawi) also told Iranian news outlets that the Khomeini revolution in Iran set an example for others to follow today. Al-Habawi added, “Unfortunately there are no personalities like Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.”

It is widely known that the Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia Law in Egypt.

But, that didn’t stop the Obama Administration from holding meetings with these radical Jew-hating Islamists.
Reuters reported, via Free Republic:

U.S. officials have met members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party, a U.S. diplomat said, after Washington announced it would have direct contacts with Egypt’s biggest Islamist group whose role has grown since U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak was ousted.

Washington announced the plans in June, portraying such contacts as the continuation of an earlier policy. But analysts said it reflected a new approach to the way it dealt with a group which Mubarak banned from politics.

The Brotherhood is one of Egypt’s most popular and organized groups, with a broad grassroots network built up partly through social work even in Mubarak’s era.

The contacts may unsettle Israel and its U.S. backers. The Brotherhood renounced violence as a means to achieve political change in Egypt years ago. But groups like Hamas, which have not disavowed violence, look to the Brotherhood as a spiritual guide.

Under the previous policy, U.S. diplomats were allowed to deal with the Brotherhood’s members of parliament who had won seats as “independents” to skirt the official ban. This offered a diplomatic cover to keep lines of communication open.

When Obama was elected I said the American people had decided to take a foreign policy hiatus. It’s much worse than that, so I apologize for my naivete back then. Hillary and Obama are absolutely disastrous for the foreign relations of the United States. Good men will die to clean up the mess they are creating. Good men always die when such miserably stupid, naive and immature types are put in such positions of power.

The Muslim Brotherhoods SELF DESCRIBED PURPOSE is to impose islam on EVERYONE, and specifically it’s SELF STATED PURPOSE for the United States is to DESTROY IT and make Americans become islamic.
Does someone want to try to explain to me how Obama’s repeatedly getting into bed with them is not freaking TREASON?

One of the ways Mubarack stayed in power so long was by frightening people with the example of Iran. Iran’s a mess, and the whole region knows it.

If this were what I think of as a normal administration, I would have expected them to meet with these people courteously and come away forearmed. This administration, unfortunately, seems to be as gullible as Jimmy Carter’s. What a shame, and yet another lost opportunity for doing real good in the world.

—————–

In English, this means the MB stopped doing the messy work itself; they decided to farm it out to others while funding it “under the table”. The truer phraseology would be “We’re trying to improve our image in the political arena, so we’re pretending to prefer negotiation to violence. But– as we are True Fundamentalist Muslims, you can rest assured that we BELIEVE in violence, and we SUPPORT violence, and we’ll certainly USE violence if necessary to achieve our ends, because such is the nature of Islam.”

#4 Zilla, you are right on target. Zippy is a muslim, and the duty of every muslim is to do his or her “da’wah”, which means advertising islam, and hopefully converting people every opportunity they get.

It is his “religious” duty, that is why he is in bed with the MB. His agenda is crystal clear when it comes to the “religion” islam.

From our side we need to find out what else he is covertly doing to sell our country out to the islamic world.

How much oil does Bakken [oil fields of Montana and North Dakota] have? The official estimate of the U.S. Geological Survey a few years ago was between four and five billion barrels. Mr. Hamm disagrees: “No way. We estimate that the entire field, fully developed, in Bakken is 24 billion barrels.”

If he’s right, that’ll double America’s proven oil reserves…

Today OPEC’s market share is falling and no longer dictates the world price. This is huge, Mr. Hamm says. “Finally we have an opportunity to go out and explore for oil and drill without fear of price collapse.” When OPEC was at its peak in the 1990s, the U.S. imported about two-thirds of its oil. Now we import less than half of it, and about 40% of what we do import comes from Mexico and Canada.

Remember how Obama didn’t want to be interviewed by Fox News? But he has no shame talking with terrorists? No doubt these animals are asking for more U.S. taxpayer money to continue their global jihad.

Meanwhile, the treasonous SOB dictator of NYC, Bloomberg, is busy with his own poisonous business venture…
MAYOR BLOOMBERG’S PARTNERSHIP WITH ANTI-ISRAEL SAUDI PRINCE
He is setting up the ultimate in dawa with his Saudi pal, Alwaleed bin Talal, the SOB who tried to bribe Guiliani with $10 million after 9/11 to break his bond with Israel, to which the great mayor responded with a very firm refusal.

The deal is another Arab propaganda-purveying TV station. This Arab anti-US, anti-Israel POS is also BFF with Rupert Murdoch (as the second largest shareholder of News Corp.) and Soros.

Oh, goody. That means that, if we ask, they will renounce the Hamas Covenant as unIslamic.

Just like the Islamic scholars hinted in “A Common Word.”

Where they said that the teaching of Islam is THE SAME as the other two Abrahamic religions (Judaism and Christianity), quoting Jesus Christ where he quotes the Torah.

A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-
Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but
later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white
radical groups.

“unless the white masses really understand, and the black
masses really understand, there’s going to be the largest
bloodbath in America”

What happened in Iran to the money when the ayatollahs took over?

Didn’t the ayatollahs become some of the riches people in the Middle East? Didn’t the average person lose their wealth?

This is what Obama and his group of ruling elite want for the entire world.

attention GP et al re:

It is widely known that the Muslim
Brotherhood wants Sharia Law in Egypt.

it is also widely know the Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia in the USA..

difference being..

[Westerners often describe the current Egyptian government as secular when in reality it is not. It is true that Mubarak comes from a military background and neither he nor his wife wear Islamic clothes. But no Muslim leader can get away with or even survive one day in office if he is secular in the true sense of the word. It was during Mubarak’s rule in 1991 that Egypt signed the Cairo Declaration for Human Rights stating that Sharia Law supercede any other law. So even though Sharia is not 100% applied in Egypt, it is officially the law of the land. Mubarak, like all Muslim leaders, must appease the Islamists to avoid their wrath. According to Sharia itself, a Muslim head of state must rule by Islamic law and preserve Islam in its original form or he must be removed from office. That law leaves no choice for any Muslim leader. Because of that law Muslim leaders must play a game of appearing Islamic and anti-West while trying to get along with the rest of the world.]

Egypt has ALWAYS lived under SHARIA, the majority of Egypt’s YOUTH do
not want to live under SHARIA, which is why.. It is widely known that the
Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia Law in Egypt.

Americans never lived under SHARIA, and pray to God we never will..

but if we’re going to remain this NAIVE to reality.. good luck with that!!
