An Obama administration official, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said the administration is open to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood being in the government of Egypt that will likely replace the rule of Hosni Mubarak:
The official said that while the administration was concerned about "some elements" of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and other non-secular groups participating in the demonstrations, it was "not ruling out their legitimacy" and place in a future government.
Obama was aware that the Muslim Brotherhood and others were in the audience when he spoke of "a new beginning" in a 2009 speech in Cairo that was directed at the Islamic world, the official said. He cited a passage in the speech in which Obama said that "no system of government can or should be imposed by one nation on any other" and that "America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them."
The Post buried this unsettling revelation in an article about the administration charting a "delicate course to oust Mubarak."
Voice of America reported that at today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration had no contact with the Muslim Brotherhood:
Gibbs was also asked about the U.S. position on potential participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in any new governing structure, saying that the United States has had no contact with the group.
"We have as we have throughout the world, standards for that contact - that is adherence to the law, adherence to non-violence and a willingness to be part of a democratic process, but not use that democratic process to simply instill yourself into power," he said.
While the group professes to be non-violent, the Muslim Brotherhood is widely considered to be the father of international Islamic terrorism and is thought to be working to create a global Islamic caliphate.

Who could have seen this coming?
Obama would be far better off to put a sock in it. At least our nation would be.
You don’t happen to have that bookmarked, do you?
I will tell you what stuns me about this entire world climate.
The worlds willingness to blame all the unrest in the Middle east on the Jews.
I dont get it.
The world sympathizes over the horror of the holocaust and then summarily turns their backs on Israel with so much venom that is spites their own fortunes.
I feel like I am living in bizzaro world.
The evidence of an Obama staged coup in Egypt is adding up:

According to Seymour Hersh, the Brotherhood may have even been involved in the September 11 attacks. Hersh states: “Many of the September 11th hijackers had operated out of cells in Aachen and Hamburg, where Al Qaeda was working with the Brotherhood”
Absolutely.

In a critique of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, reformist Egyptian intellectual Dr. Sayyed Al-Qimni explained why he does not believe that the movement has changed its ways and has decided to integrate into civil society. He argued that the movement assumes many guises and forms many conflicting alliances in order to further its own interests. Al-Qimni further claimed that its aim is not to serve Islam but to come to power. [1] —— “Egyptian Reformist Renews Attack on Muslim Brotherhood Despite Death Threats,” MEMRI, September 29, 2006
Hahahah@@ Good one!!!
Talk about a small world: Frank Wisner
We’ll never know how they react. The state-run media won’t report on any of those instances. Once Egypt goes to Islamic fundamentalists, they will disappear from the news cycle. Much like the hundreds of brave US troops dying in Aghanistan and Iraq no longer merit a mention on the “news”.
They are pushing El Baradei as a “democratic reformer” here in Portland, and Mubarak as worse than Saddam Hussein!

That is what hussein wrote in his book, “Audacity.”
Obama supports the Islamic Brotherhood.
Gee imagine the hell outta that.
This should be an Onion headline, but no.

Leopards don’t change their spots:

It is unthinkable to have a government without in control of Quran. All the laws that govern human life should be base on God’s words. For this reason, the Muslim brotherhood is indeed the best political and religious party; there is no separation between religion and the politics. I strongly agree that all other nation’s government should follow the laws of Quran.
No one should deny the Muslim brotherhood movement. Those who try to ban the movement, like Egyptian Prime minister Mahmud Nuqrashi in 1948, will be assassinated. If Gamal Abdel Nasser tries to, again, interrupt the Muslim form of government, the Muslim brotherhood will once more send people to try to assassinate him as they did in 1954. They will continue do right things to make the best type of government which people serve Quran as the law.

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.
