Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood as it is declared a terrorist group by Egyptian government

Posted on 12/25/2013 6:44:29 PM PST by traumer

Egypt's military-backed interim government has declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group.

Hossam Eissa, the Minister of Higher Education, read out the statement after a long meeting today. Eissa said: 'The Cabinet has declared the Muslim Brotherhood group and its organisation as a terrorist organisation.' Eissa added that the implications of the declaration punish those who belong to the group, financing it and those promoting the group's activities.

The Brotherhood is the group that ousted President Mohammed Morsi belongs to and which has waged near-daily protests since a July 3 popularly backed military coup toppled his government.

Authorities blamed the Brotherhood for militant attacks now striking Egypt, a claim the Brotherhood repeatedly has denied. A powerful blast tore through a police headquarters in Cairo in the deadliest bombing yet in a months-long wave of violence.

It should be a terrorist group here, but we are busy supplying them with weapons to kill Christians with.

Here's the Reuters article on it:

This part could be of concern to Obama:

"It gives the authorities the power to charge any member of the Brotherhood with belonging to a terrorist group, as well as anyone who finances the group or promotes it..."

Hillary was asked about the statement from Egypt.

She was quoted as stating “ what difference does it make at this point. The brotherhood got weapons and Barrack and I have nice non traceable funds in accounts in Qatar.”

The former Ambassador to Libya was not available for comment.

The roster of MB loyalists in the Soetoro Regime is long and distinguished. The purge can’t happen fast enough and should not wait until January 2017.

Susan Rice was on TV a-g-a-i-n---on 60 Minutes. She can't get enough TV time to save her sorry a**---to continue the Benghazi lie and the cover-up. Forget the video---the cover story now includes national security as the rational. Rice figures that should be enough to pump up her sorry resume.

Better to cover up what happened than to let the entire world know about Hillary's involvement....part of her shady MO to get into the WH in 2016.

===========================================================

LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE In 2009, Obama made a "Smart Power" suck-up speech in Cairo----"apologizing" for America's historical role in the Middle East. By snubbing Mubarak, Obama set the stage for the Egyptian president's overthrow by the Islamic mob.

When the worst-case scenario happened, when Obama's personal choice---Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Morsi, was elected president----Obama sap-happily sent his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to Cairo to personally kiss-up to Morsi....perhaps at that time hatching their plans to destroy Westen civiliation in compliance w/ Muslim dictates.

Obama's treacherous ill-advised component of US foreign policy----sucking up to the very people who want to kill us and destroy our churches. He portrayed teeming Muslim majorities there as "victims of Western colonialism and Cold War policies," stupidly promoting American-style democracy for these conflicting cultures w/ thousands of years of religious and territorial factionalism.

OBOBO'S SUCKUP "The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars," Obama said in the June 2009 speech in Cairo. "More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies, without regard to their own aspirations."

==================================================

Fast forward to 2013: the savage Muslim Brotherhood torched some 63 Egyptian churches and many Christian businesses. Obama ignored the bloodbath and spent the crisis dining out, golfing, power-partying, and vacationing in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on the taxpayers' dime.

Rice stupidly advised Boobamba to phone Gen al-Sisi from MV. But al Sisi refused to take the call knowing Boobamba planned to order the general to call off his beating back the Muslim Brotherhood .

OBAMA: "First, let's make sure the cameras get this staged photo.
What should I tell the American people about Egypt, Susan?"

RICE: "After saying 'the Taliban is on the run and Osama Bin Laden
is dead'.... tell 'em Gen al-Sissi is a big sissy for not taking your phone call."
