AP describes Muslim Brotherhood as “conservative.” Dan Rather applied the same tag to the Soviet government’s attempt to retain power in the late 80s and to the once representative, Gary Condit of the Democrat Party.

AP, like The Dan hope that the average schmo connects anything described conservative as belonging to the Republican Party.

Uh-huh. El Baradei probably has a standing invite from Pharaoh Obama to crash in the Lincoln bedroom and Mochie will whip up some falafel.

All Obamah has to do is ask his longtime neighbor Louis Farrakhan or his longtime spiritual leader, Jeremiah Wright!

Oh? So all they need is someone in the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ to offer assurances and then they will assist? Well, I’m sure someone there wouldn’t mind misleading an incompetent weak President knowing they’d be using US assistance to bring down the Egyptian Government in favor of yet another radical Muslim Government...

Underground Uprising in Egypt

We know that the Muslim Brotherhood supports the uprising in Egypt. The Obama administration does as well. Based on the release of a secret document, it’s been learned that the United States government supported the April 6 Youth Movement – a group that played a key role in the uprising – in the form of a summit in Washington, D.C. That summit took place from December 3-5, 2008. We also know that Bill Ayers and Bernandine Dohrn were in Cairo a little more than one year later, engaging in protests while attempting to show solidarity with Hamas by entering Gaza with Egyptian protesters.

According to Dohrn, both she and Ayers were detained at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. They, along with Code Pink, weren’t permitted to assemble the mass of people they had hoped would join them in their march into Gaza but were able to round up a few with begrudging approval from the Mubarak administration. Waiting for them with open arms was former Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.

LIAR!!!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/03/muslim-brotherhood-members-attend-obamas-cairo-speech/

Egyptian lawmakers from the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood are expected to attend President Obama’s highly anticipated speech to the Muslim world Thursday in Cairo.

Khaled Hamza, editor of the Muslim Brotherhood Web site, confirmed to FOXNews.com that 10 members of the Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc received official invitations to attend the speech.

The list includes Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, head of the parliamentary bloc.

The expected attendance of the Brotherhood members already is stirring some criticism from conservatives in the U.S. who say they do not represent the kind of moderate Muslims Obama should be appealing to.

“What kind of signal are we sending?” said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee, warning that such an invitation will be seen more as a sign of weakness than strength. “I think the president takes some big risks by unilaterally putting out these olive branches.”

The Muslim Brotherhood, though, has a complicated history.

Though the hard-line group, which calls for an Islamic state and has close ties to the militant Hamas, is officially banned in Egypt, its members have considerable sway in the country and its lawmakers, who run as independents, hold 88 seats in Egypt’s 454-seat parliament.

The Brotherhood renounced the use of violence in the 1970s and now says it seeks democratic reform in Egypt. It is the most powerful opposition movement in the country, and many analysts argue Washington should engage the Brotherhood directly to show it is open to dealing with nonviolent Islamist movements.

The group is not on the State Department’s official list of foreign terrorist groups.

Despite some reports suggesting the Obama administration arranged the invitations, officials said invitations were only sent out by Cairo University and Al-Azhar University.

“I can tell you that invitations have gone out to the full range of actors in Egyptian political society,” Obama adviser Denis McDonough said Friday.

It is unclear what Muslim Brotherhood members hope to hear in the speech. One member said last month on the group’s Web site that Obama’s trip to Egypt would be “useless” unless preceded by concrete changes in U.S. foreign policy.

Scott Wheeler, director of the National Republican Trust PAC, slammed the administration for apparently allowing the Muslim Brotherhood into the event.

In a written statement, he charged that the group is linked to “international terrorists attacks, advocates suicide bombings, and the very founders of Hamas.”

“The American people did not vote for President Barack Hussein Obama to make peace with Muslim terrorists,” he said in the statement.

Obama is hoping to strengthen fractured ties between the East and West in his Cairo speech Thursday.

Muslim Brotherhood PM invited by Obama to attend speech in Cairo

The International Middle East Media Center was the only one to report on the invitation, but it was more of an aside to the main thrust of its article, which dealt with al-Qaeda leader Al-Zawahiri. However, this is an instance when the ‘by the way’ part of a report is more important than the lead story.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been a thorn in President Mubarak’s side for many decades. Many of its members, at one time or another have been jailed. However, the group has 86 members in the Egyptian parliament, and the head of the Parliamentarian bloc of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammad Al Katatini, stated on Tuesday that he had received a private invitation from the American President to come to Al-Azhar University, where Obama will deliver his speech. This is an audacious move on the part of Obama, which managed to irritate the Egyptian leadership who say that the Brotherhood is ‘illegal’. Apparently, Americans officials in Cairo met with Al Katatini according to a report from Al Jazeera.

Of Course the Ialamofascist took this as a green light from this Administration. They are probably well aware of the ties these 3 have with Zero.

They were. There’s other threads discussing it.

I don’t believe in coincidences. Watch too much NCIS. :)
