How Obama Has Supported The Muslim Brotherhood Over Past 3 Years

This year so far, we have seen the Obama administration release $1.5 billion in foreign aid to Egypt, the US recognition of Morsi's victory in the Egyptian presidential election (despite election fraud), a banned Egyptian terrorist who visits the White House and Obama's invitation to Morsi to visit in September.

What else has Obama done during his term as president to encourage Muslim extremists in general and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular?

Investor's Business Daily has a timeline of How Obama Engineered Mideast Radicalization.

Here is a partial list:
  • 2009: The Brotherhood's spiritual leader — Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi — writes an open letter to Obama arguing terrorism is a direct response to U.S. foreign policy.

  • 2009: Obama travels to Cairo to deliver apologetic speech to Muslims, and infuriates the Mubarak regime by inviting banned Brotherhood leaders to attend. Obama deliberately snubs Mubarak, who was neither present nor mentioned. He also snubs Israel during the Mideast trip.

Recent Examples Of Obama's Disastrous Middle East Policy

Andrew McCarthy writes that there are Questions about Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton's top advisers in the State Department. In the course of writing about Abedin's various connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and the potential for undue influence the Muslim Brotherhood may be exerting in the Obama Whitehouse, McCarthy discusses some of the bad policy decisions the Obama administration has made recently:
  • The State Department has an emissary in Egypt who trains operatives of the Brotherhood and other Islamist organizations in democracy procedures.

Why Is The Muslim World Convinced The Obama Administration Supports The Muslim Brotherhood?

Or a thug for J. H. Blair."

The interesting news was not that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pelted with stuff while visiting Cairo, the important issue was who was doing the pelting. Once upon a time, anti-American radicals threw things at U.S. leaders. But now….

Reportedly, the hurlers of objects were people from the Free Egyptians Party and other Egyptian liberals. At the same time, leading Christians, including Naguib Sawiris who is the man behind that party and perhaps the most outspoken anti-Islamist figure in Egypt today, refused to meet with Hillary.

Obama Administration Can't Admit "Arab Spring" Not Working Out In The Middle East

It’s a new day in Egypt. It’s a new day in a lot of countries across the Middle East and North Africa.
State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland, June 26, 2012

Good morning, Vietnam!

The Arab Spring began on December 18, 2010 in Tunisia with the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, protesting his mistreatment at the hands of the police. The revolution that started in Tunisia as a result, then spread through the Muslim world.

But instead of Muslim dictators falling to Muslim democracies, as the media has consistently predicted, instead -- Muslim extremists are seizing control.

But maybe that's not such a bad thing.
