Obama green-lighting Muslim Brotherhood participation in Egyptian government
hot air ^ | 2/1/11 | Ed Morrissey

Welcome to the new reality of cold, hard choices in Egypt, and the consequences of democracy in regions where radicalism thrives. In order to stay ahead of the crisis in Egypt, the Obama administration yesterday signaled that it supports the participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyptian politics as long as they renounce violence and commit to democracy:

The Obama administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government.

The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government, the White House said. But by even setting conditions for the involvement of such nonsecular groups, the administration took a surprise step in the midst of the crisis that has enveloped Egypt for the last week. …

One of the ways the minority communist parties gained power in Eastern Europe was to first organize a coalition with more moderate government groups after a “people’s revolution.” The radicals used the coalition government as a means of legitimizing themselves but even more importantly as a platform to eliminate every other power group until they ended the sole power.

What is happening in Egypt could be the first step in this process for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Of course it helped them that the Red Army was hanging over them like a Sword of Damocles.

” Obama has been aiming for this from his fist day in office.”

June 03, 2009 :

“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.”

” .... 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.

The FOX article whitewashed the MB , made them sound like the Boy Scouts.
Republicans were outraged and their complaints dismissed .

I’m hearing on the radio today that some school system is letting Muslim kids carry their “sacred daggers” to school.

Zero tolerance with waivers.

My son has been saying from day one he thinks Obama is an islamist terrorist.

Your son is wise.

They are Sikhs, not Muslims.

Sikhism is a monotheistic offshoot of Hinduism, founded in India, and not an Islamic sect.

Obama’s anti-American apology tour did not help. It sent an indirect message of validating their hate for US.

Considering he named a US Muslim Brotherhood member from Chicago as his Muslim Campaign Adviser, is anyone surprised?
