Editorial: The U.S. Legitimizes A Terrorist Group
IBD Editorials ^ | July 6, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 07/06/2011 6:23:42 PM PDT by Kaslin

Foreign Policy: It's official — the radical Muslim Brotherhood has co-opted America's agenda in the Mideast and possibly the broader war. The Obama administration has formalized ties with the group.

In a shocking first, the State Department will now allow diplomats to deal directly with Muslim Brotherhood party officials in Cairo, where the international organization is based.

The terror-supporting group — whose credo is "Jihad is our way, and dying in the cause of Allah is our highest hope" — was formally banned by the secular Mubarak regime. Now it threatens to take power when elections are held in September.

Legitimizing the Brotherhood and its agenda has dangerous consequences both at home and abroad.

The group, which founded and still controls Hamas, does not recognize Israel. In fact, its leaders have called for its destruction. So the administration's diplomatic overture is another affront to our key Mideast ally.

Closer to home, the Brotherhood seeks to destroy Western societies by incrementally expanding Saudi-style Sharia law throughout the West, including in America.

These include the largest Muslim charity in the country — the Holy Land Foundation — and the largest Islamic umbrella group — the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, which controls most of the mosques in the country through a Saudi-funded trust.

You'd think the investigation would have marginalized the U.S. branch of the Brotherhood. Instead, the Obama administration has empowered it by reaching out to its front groups and leaders.

In a shocking first . . .

I'm shocked, shocked I say, that Obama would deal with yet another terrorist. Bill Ayers is old news, as with Rashid Khalidi, and Bernardine Dohrn, but now the Brotherhood? Shocking? Only to those who are shocked when a clear pattern continues.

I think the Obama regime is just hoping that the Muzzie Bros. will buy them some free pizza like they did for the union thugs in Wisconsin during the fiasco in Madison.
