Now that Barack Obama has given a green light to Muslim Brotherhood participation in a new Egyptian government, it is unlikely that the organization will be kept out of power. And since the Brotherhood is the largest and most ideologically committed group in Egyptian politics, most likely it will end up in the driver’s seat in any new regime, and set the nation on course toward becoming an Islamic state.
Obama almost certainly knows all this, and yet approved of Brotherhood involvement anyway. A look at some of his appointments, associations and activities shows that this should come as no surprise.
Starting in the earliest days of his administration, Obama showed an intense desire to establish friendly ties with the Islamic world, while showing little or no interest in examining his chosen partners in dialogue and targets for attempts at rapprochement for ties to jihad terrorism or Islamic supremacism. His uncritical stance toward Islamic organizations included American groups with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, despite the Brotherhood’s stated goal of “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”
Obama’s first attempt at outreach to Muslims came when he chose the head of a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group that had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case to give a prayer during his inauguration ceremonies. Ingrid Mattson, who was then president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), offered this prayer at the National Cathedral on Obama’s Inauguration Day – despite the fact that the previous summer, federal prosecutors rejected a request from ISNA to remove its unindicted co-conspirator status.

There is no record of Obama ever asking Mattson to explain ISNA’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. On the contrary: he sent his Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett to be the keynote speaker at ISNA’s national convention in 2009.
Even worse, in April 2009, Obama appointed Arif Alikhan, the deputy mayor of Los Angeles, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Just two weeks before he received this appointment, Alikhan (who once called the jihad terror group Hizballah a “liberation movement”) participated in a fundraiser for the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). Like ISNA, MPAC has links to the Muslim Brotherhood. In a book entitled In Fraternity: A Message to Muslims in America, coauthor Hassan Hathout, a former MPAC president, is identified as “a close disciple of the late Hassan al-Banna of Egypt.” The MPAC-linked magazine The Minaret spoke of Hassan Hathout’s closeness to al-Banna in a 1997 article: “My father would tell me that Hassan Hathout was a companion of Hassan al-Banna….Hassan Hathout would speak of al-Banna with such love and adoration; he would speak of a relationship not guided by politics or law but by a basic sense of human decency.”
Al-Banna, of course, was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Terror researcher Steven Emerson’s Investigative Project has documented MPAC’s indefatigable and consistent opposition to virtually every domestic anti-terror initiative; its magazine The Minaret has dismissed key counterterror operations as part of “[t]he American crusade against Islam and Muslims.” For his part, while Alikhan was deputy mayor of Los Angeles, he blocked a Los Angeles Police Department project to assemble data about the ethnic makeup of mosques in the Los Angeles area. This was not an attempt to conduct surveillance of the mosques or monitor them in any way. LAPD Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing explained that it was actually an outreach program: “We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities.” But Alikhan and other Muslim leaders claimed that the project manifested racism and “Islamophobia,” and the LAPD ultimately discarded all plans to study the mosques.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a pro-Sharia group; and Obama’s chief adviser on Islamic affairs, Dalia Mogahed, is a pro-Sharia Muslim. In their Gallup survey published under the hubristic title Who Speaks for Islam? What A Billion Muslims Really Think, Mogahed and Saudi-funded dhimmi pseudo-academic John Esposito cooked their data to increase the number of Muslim “moderates,” counting as “moderate” Muslims who wanted Sharia rule, hated America, supported jihad-martyrdom suicide bombing, and opposed equality of rights for women. Mogahed also defended Sharia on a British TV show, saying it amounted to “gender justice.”
Mogahed’s defense of Sharia came on a show hosted by a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an international organization that is banned as a terrorist group in many nations worldwide. Hizb ut-Tahrir is openly dedicated to working toward the imposition of Sharia and the destruction of all governments around the world that are constituted according to any other political philosophy — including Constitutional republics.

In light of all this, it is no accident that Obama specifically invited representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood to attend his notorious speech to the Islamic world in Cairo in June 2009. Nor should it come as any surprise that he is taking a sanguine view of the Muslim Brotherhood’s taking part in a new Egyptian government.
After all, Brotherhood operatives are in the American government and working closely with it, thanks to Barack Obama. Why shouldn’t the same situation prevail in Egypt?
Why are people acting like this is all some surprise? Everyone with a brain knew the guy was a moslem going into the election. Moslems are terrorists. Their scriptures command it.
Does anyone at this point seriously doubt that The Usurper is one of them?
Of course he is a Moslem!
It’s OKAY to LIE to advance Islam and Obama does just that!
I thought he was a Communist anti-american. I was on the fence as to if he was a full blown radical muslim. No longer. After the last week of observation I now believe he is a radical Muslim.
He is a toxic stew of communism, Africal colonialist, muslim and chicago street thug.
He said something about if the political situation in the middle east turns ugly, he would stand on the side of islam.
He calls the muslim call to prayer the most beatiful sound in the world.
He was registered in Indonesia schools as a muslim.
He refers to the koran as the “holy koran” with a very specific arab accent.
When he speaks arabic words, his accent is perfect.
He and his family ignore Christmas and Easter.
Shortly after sneaking into the White House, his first interview was with an arab news organization.
Then he flys off to Cairo to give a speech.
He and eric holder go easy on muslims who murder Americans in this country. (Ft. Hood and the Arkansas army recruiter) but go like hell to try to portray Americans who disagree with him as being responsible for the congresswoman’s shooting.
He overtly insults Isreal.
But he’s not a muslim so says his media.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

The One will make sure they get one.
Just imagine how his daughters will feel when they're teenagers and independently reading all the online info about their dad, isn't that just PATHOS???? What an online heritage to leave your children, all because you believe that the Constitution is a FLAWED DOCUMENT and therefore it doesn't matter if you are not eligible to be president.
How pathetic.....
HOORAY Robert Spencer!

I'd bet they already know and that they've already been genitally mutilated (female circumcised). After all, they're moslems.
After years of American support for states in the Middle East who have kept Islamic radicalism at bay, many of which have been autocratic rather than ‘democracies’ as we would like, the Middle East will now fall into utter chaos as one state after another falls into the hands of Islamic fundamentalists. Make no mistake about it, in general the people of the Middle East respect and go with where the power resides, and it clearly does NOT reside with America under Barack Obama. He has projected American weakness throughout the world, and this is the direct result of same. Not only will Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt and a host of smaller states in the Middle East like Jordan and others fall; but it is my belief that Obama will loose Iraq and Afghanistan as well during his tenure as POTUS. In only two years of his administration the damage has been immense, imagine what another term in office will bring not only to the USA but the world at large. Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies with no one to help her, including the USA since he will take her out of the way as the restraining power in the world today.
If people paid attention to the pictures of the Egyptian protests, you would notice the hammer/sickle signs mixed in with the other signs and banners.
Commies, liberals, and radical mooselimbs are working together on this.
Yep and I saw a yes we can sign. This has NWO written all over it.
