According to Egyptian newspaper El Watan, a group of Egyptian lawyers has submitted a complaint charging U.S. president Barrack Hussein Obama with crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.
The complaint charges Obama of being an accessory to the Muslim Brotherhood, which incited widespread violence in Egypt both before and after the June 30 Revolution.
Along with Obama, the complaint reproduced by El Watan mentions several Brotherhood members by name, beginning with the leader of the organization Muhammad Badie, and other top ranking leaders such as Mohamed al-Beltagy, Essam al-Erian, and Safwat Hegazi, adding that “Obama cooperated, incited, and assisted the armed elements of the Muslim Brotherhood in the commission of crimes against humanity in the period from 3/7/2013-8/18/2013, in the Arab Republic of Egypt.”
According to the published text, the complaint begins by quoting Article 7/1 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, titled “Crimes against humanity,” which is reproduced below:
Article 7
Crimes against humanity
1. For the purpose of this Statute, “crime against humanity” means any of the following
acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against
any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:
(a) Murder;
(b) Extermination;
(c) Enslavement;
(d) Deportation or forcible transfer of population;
(e) Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law;
(f) Torture;
(g) Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced
sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;
(h) Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial,
national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender as defined in paragraph 3, or other
grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international
law, in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime
within the jurisdiction of the Court;
(i) Enforced disappearance of persons;
(j) The crime of apartheid;
(k) Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great
suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.
Next, the complaint shows how Muslim Brotherhood leadership violated some of the above definitions, for example, by torturing, mutilating, raping, and killing Egyptians in their “sit in” camps (first reported here), with a highlight on the role the Brotherhood played in inciting violence and the killing of peaceful protesters around Itthadiya Palace back in December.
Above and beyond the accusations of crimes against humanity that the lawyer-drafted complaint cited by El Watan levels against the Brotherhood, one need only look to the fate of Egypt’s Christian minority, who were especially targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood—and thus, by extension, their supporter, Obama—to see numerous examples of nearly every aforementioned definition of crimes against humanity, as follows:
Religious Persecution and Apartheid (see h and j)
Right after Morsi was ousted, the Muslim Brotherhood, including its supreme leader, Muhammad Badie, and its spiritual leader, Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, as well as several of the other Brotherhood members mentioned in the complaint, publicly scapegoated the Christian minority for daring to support the popular June 30 Revolution (that is, for acting like equal citizens as opposed to cowed dhimmis as required by Islamic law). The aftermath of the atrocities committed against the Copts are well known (to those who do not exclusively rely on the so-called mainstream media), and include the torching, destroying, and plundering of at some 85 churches, some of which were ancient. Islam’s back flag was raised above some churches; anti-Christian graffiti littered the sides of other churches and Coptic homes.
Murder and Extermination (see a and b)
Among many others to be murdered in response to Brotherhood-incitement against the Copts, a ten-year-old girl was shot and killed while walking back from Bible class. In the Sinai, a young Coptic priest was shot dead in front of his church, while the body of another Copt was found mutilated and beheaded. Four other Christians were slaughtered by Muslims in Luxor province. Most recently, a church wedding was attacked, leaving, among others, two girls, aged eight and twelve, dead and riddled with bullets.
As for “extermination,” the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters have long been threatening the Copts with annihilation if they ever opposed them. Back in December 2012, Safwat Hegazi (a leading Brotherhood member named in the complaint, publicly declared during a Brotherhood rally:
A message to the church of Egypt, from an Egyptian Muslim: I tell the church—by Allah, and again, by Allah—if you conspire and unite with the remnants [opposition] to bring Morsi down, that will be another matter [screams of “Allah Akbar!” followed by chants of “With our soul, with our blood, we give to you, O Islam!”]… [T]here are red lines—and our red line is the legitimacy of Dr. Muhammad Morsi. Whoever splashes water on it, we will splash blood on him” [followed by more wild shouts of “Allah Akbar!”]
Around the same time, and more to the point, Dr. Wagdi Ghoneim—another vocal Brotherhood agitator who earlier praised Allah for the death of the late Coptic Pope Shenouda, cursing him to hell and damnation in a video he posted on YouTube—made another video telling Egypt’s Christians:
You are playing with fire in Egypt, I swear, the first people to be burned by the fire are you [Copts].” … The day Egyptians—and I don’t even mean the Muslim Brotherhood or Salafis, regular Egyptians—feel that you are against them, you will be wiped off the face of the earth. I’m warning you now: do not play with fire!… What do you think—that America will protect you? Let’s be very clear, America will not protect you. If so, it would have protected the Christians of Iraq when they were being butchered!
Ghoneim’s words have proven prophetic—an indicator that this Egyptian hatemongering sheikh, who was expelled under Hosni Mubarak, knows the conduct of America’s leadership better than most Americans. Along with Iraq’s and Egypt’s Christians, he could have mentioned the Christians of Syria as well, who are being decimated thanks to Obama’s support for al-Qaeda and other Islamic terrorists, AKA, “freedom fighters.”
Deportation, Extortion, Kidnapping, and General Abuse of Copts (see c, d, e, f, g, and i)
Since the Muslim Brotherhood publicly denounced the Copts, entire towns and villages have been emptied of Christians—for example, more than 100 Christian families from El Arish. After mentioning the mass destruction of churches during a recent conference, and speaking of a different incident, Dr. Sherif Doss, an Egyptian activist, said, “But worst of all, about 140 families were evicted from their own homes; and worse still is that, not only were they thrown out of their houses, but their shops and properties were robbed and destroyed… General Sisi has promised to rebuild the churches and this takes time to be done. But we can’t wait all that time for those people destitute and in the streets, with no place to live and nowhere to work…. These people are in a very bad condition. If you go and see these villages, you will be amazed—it is as if a nuclear bomb exploded there. People burned and plundered their homes without mercy.”
Similarly, Muslim Brotherhood supporters are extorting Copts, rationalized in the context of making them pay jizya—the money, or tribute, that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords “with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued” to safeguard their existence, as indicated in Koran 9:29. For instance, the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in south Minya province were recently forced to pay jizya. In some cases, those not able to pay were attacked, their wives and children beaten and/or kidnapped. As a result, some 40 Christian families had fled Dalga, joining the ever growing list of displaced Christians in the Middle East.
Days before the June 30 Revolution, letters addressed to the Copts threatened them not to join the protests against Morsi, otherwise their “businesses, cars, homes, schools, and churches” might “catch fire”—which of course they all did. The message concluded by saying “If you are not worried about any of these, then worry about your children and your homes.”
Such threats, as mentioned, were hardly limited to anonymous letters. During a TV interview, Sheikh Essam Abdulamek, a then member of parliament’s Shura Council, warned Egypt’s Christians against participating in the June 30 Revolution against Morsi, threatening them by saying “Do not sacrifice your children” since “general Muslim opinion will not be silent about the ousting of the president [Morsi].”
And the children of Copts have certainly been targeted—both during and after Morsi’s tenure. Some, especially young girls, are regularly abducted, raped, and shamed into converting to Islam and “marrying” their rapists. Coptic boys have increasingly been abducted from the doorsteps of their churches and held for ransom. Recently, a 6-year-old Christian boy was murdered by his kidnapper—after the boy’s family paid the ransom. (Read more about the jihad on Egypt’s Christian children.)
——
In short, by simply focusing on the plight of Egypt’s Christians, almost every criterion found under the category of “crimes against humanity”—including murder, extermination, deportation, torture, rape, disappearance, apartheid and religious persecution—are met.
Only one is necessary for the charge to stick.
As for the Obama administration’s support for the Brotherhood, if most Americans are clueless or indifferent about it, average Egyptians have long known and resented it—hence the many large placards and signs held during the June 30 Revolution calling on Obama to stop supporting terrorism and calling on Americans to wake up.
One need only follow the words and deeds of Anne Patterson, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Hillary Clinton, et. al. to know that the U.S president is a firm supporter of the crimes-against-humanity-committing Muslim Brotherhood.
Of course, whatever the merits of El Watan’s report—here is another English-language article talking about apparently a different complaint of crimes against humanity leveled against Obama by Coptic activists—all these complaints seem futile, as the U.S. is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court.
However, all technicalities aside, the facts are clear: by any definition, the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters have committed numerous crimes against humanity in Egypt, especially in the context of the Christian Copts; and by its ongoing support for the Brotherhood, the Obama administration is complicit. Remember this next time the Obama administration cites concerns about “human rights” violations as reason to involve the U.S. in war—as it recently tried to do in Syria, again, to support more Islamic terrorists who are committing even worse crimes against humanity.

GreekAsianPanda says
What sucks is that the Brotherhood can claim that they have suffered crimes against humanity by the military. They certainly don’t deserve human rights because they aim to refuse human rights to everyone who doesn’t have an extreme interpretation of Islam–Christians, moderate Muslims, secular people. The Brotherhood’s cries for help need to be mocked and ignored so that they get what they deserve. The obliteration of the Brotherhood and all theocratic forces (Islamic or otherwise) is good for all of humanity, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Do remember that it was mostly Muslims who bravely defied to Brotherhood and are brutalizing them now. God damn the Brotherhood.

Barry’O truly deserves to draw his last breath on this earth, facing a firing squad….no cigarrette, no blindfold. Forcing this traitor to stare into the eyes of his executioners, waiting for the end, terrified that it will be painfull.

Please….feel free to come get him. HE’S ALL YOURS TO DO AS YOU PLEASE, EXCEPT TO SHIP HIM BACK TO US!
Dean El Loca says
lets not forget he gave weapons aid and comfort to the muslim brotherhood and alquidae in syria. there they raped murdered children .. i hope he burns for eternity
Joshua says
Well in this case…we dont know if it’s true or not and I am a huge critic of Obama…in this case: Congress proceeds as usual and brings banghazi survivors to testify, and continues to fight for the people (if they know how) until 2014 for elections, Obama steps down (vice president steps up for next 2 years to honor our tradition of change over), Obama is placed under house arrest (not allowed to go anywhere until the charges are proven or disproven) we assist Egypt in the investigation of the charges. But with this charge coming out, this may completely destroy our reputation with the foreign community (which Obama already did sorta with his spying) and we are on eggshells already with them and we need them. Without them, their goes our economy completely and vice versa. And if such a time comes to prove that he was not involved and has not been impeached we pay him the money we owe him and send him on his way. While I hate Obama and what he has done, as of this point right now…he is still an American. And whilst we may fight with him ourselves and may hate him, that is for us. I will not now or ever hand over any American to a foreign country until the charges have been proven. Let us imprison him here or send him to Kenya if that is his home…but Americans stand together or not at all. And he is like our family (American) and while we may fight him and hate him for what he does, let an outside source attack him…he is still one of us. And I say this not because I support Obama, but he is American.@ DogwithoutSlippers and Mikentosh…if you have siblings and you fight with them all the time…what would you do if some random person came up and started crap with them? You’d stand up for him. So in conclusion…Obama needs to be removed and arrested and either us or someone who is not pro Obama or anti Obama help with the investigation

He did things i would turn my own family in for. if my family helped murder rape and horrify children i would turn them over myself. the world already has enough monsters we do not need anymore.

Joshua, YOUR A SUCKER! WHAT IF THOSE WERE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS IN EGYPT??!! IT’S NOT ABOUT THE U.S. AT THIS POINT, IT’S ABOUT HUMANITY! So, set aside your pity party for 5 minutes and look at the reality of the situation. Here we have a so called president of what’s left of the U.S. that would even be suspected of this type of involvement with any terrorist organization. First off, if you were so gung ho America, you would have major problems with this. But It’s clear you just want to be heard. Second off, this guy is clearly in it to destroy the foreign relations with the U.S. Its all part of the plan to take down the U.S. OPEN YOUR EYES MAN! Your either with U.S. or against U.S. United We Stand. If you consider Obull$hit to be like family, maybe you need to be tried for treason. Are you part of the Muslim Brotherhood? If not you could have fooled ME!
PattyFiona says
There are plenty of crimes Obama has done in his own country, he should be tried first in the US and then tried overseas.
Joshua says
I agree…we should have the pleasure of convicting him and deciding his fate…not some other country
Joshua says
Pity party? I dont have a minoot amount of pity for this man and my eyes are open…I’d love to see this man descredited and executed for his crimes, but by us. I’d hate another country to rob us of the pleasure and you call me Muslim Brotherhood again…I dare you…I fought them and know how they fight, ungrateful scumbag. Bet you think you are high and mighty to say that, but i lost friends in combat to them, some right in front of my eyes. So I have no pity or remorse for them and I sure as hell wish to see them destroyed. So go **** yourself and keep your Muslim Brotherhood opinions where they belong. Capeche?
Cindy Kugle Cabral says
Joshua, he may be one of yours but in no way is he one of mine! He lost my loyalties when he sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church year after year while Wright damned America. When your trusted spiritual advisor’s philosophy is “not god bless America but god damn America” I say damn him. May he burn in hell, if not in Egypt for his sins.
Joshua says
Oh so you are not an American? Okay thanks for clearing that up…and I said that, because if we just hand people over like that, then we are no better then they are. And i prefer to try and have some moral compass unlike most
Wayne Stumbo says
come arrest your enemy and ours.we will hand him over willingly and with gratitude

Thank you Raymond for reporting on a subject (that Barack Hussein Obama supports the MB and the MB is indeed a terrorist group therefore Obama supports terrorists) that our media will not report

The American electorate should have sentenced the obama to at least a defeat in the last election, let alone the first.

Bob WILLIAMS says
Ibrahim’s account suggests that after generations of colonialism and government-operated mosques, Egyptian Muslims are deep in ignorance about the libertarian aims of Islaam – especially the duty to protect Christians and Jews. I recall from my reading of history that Prophet Muhammad had married a Christian as well a Jewess, and thereby set an example for Muslims to love and care for the People of the Book (ahlal kitaab). I suggest a reading of Henry Grady Weaver’s chapter ten of his The Mainspring of Human Progress (free etext online). If Muslims were good at practicing Islaam, they might have saved tens of millions of Christian lives during WW 1 and WW2. But how can they protect others when they can’t practice Islaam’s libertarianism? see http://www.minaret.org for more insight.

Hillary Clinton and and Barack Obama should be taken into custody and charged with War Crimes against the Egyptian, Libyan, and American People.
You can follow Mrs. Clintons term as Secretary by the trail of Blood and Tears left in her wake.
AS you step over the bodies a clearer picture starts to form.
Mrs. Clinton and President Obama are not Friends of the Egyptian People,
And Enemies of the State to the American people…
At the behest of the Obama Administration Hillary Clinton was tasked with working with Morsi to broker a Peace deal between Netanyahu of Israel, and Abbas of Palestine.
Morsi is the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, sworn enemy of Israel that openly calls for the Killing of Jews and wiping Israel off the map.
Abbas is the leader of Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood who also calls for the Killing of Jews and wiping Israel off the map.
Both Morsi and Abbas are also the “Democratically Elected” leaders of neighboring countries most strategically located to carry out such threats.
Hillary Clintons top aid is Steeped in the Muslim Brotherhood. Clinton herself claims you can’t walk through the State Dept. or White House without seeing Aljazeera up on several TV and computer screens.
After Morsi claimed Dictatorial Powers for himself through executive order, congress cut off Egypt’s allowance of a Billion dollars. While Clinton was trying to get Her allowance for USAid doubled by that same body, Mrs. Clinton circumvented Congresses authority and backdoored a Billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood through USAid.
This Cabal was anything but “Neutral Arbiters of Peace.”
When Palestine elected the leader of a Terrorist Organization, Palestine became a Terrorist State.
Hillary forced our strongest Ally in the Region to Negotiate with a known Terrorist, and accept him and his Terrorist Regime as Legitimate.
The very next day Palestine took that legitimacy applied for Statehood with the UN and got it. Morsi also gained International Legitimacy through this Freakshow as well…
The American people and Military need to be doing what the Egyptian people and Military are doing today for the very same reasons.
The very same people…
America you need to Descend on Washington like a Plague in Biblical Proportions…
This Entire Administration needs to be forced to:
“STAND DOWN”
By an Overwhelming Assembly of “We the People” in Washington…
American Spring 2016!!
Dan Nowotarski says
This article in reference to the Obama supported Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists tells of the corrupt nature of these savages that President Obama supports. President Obama has even given U.S. government positions to Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters. This is not unlike, but much worse than a police chief, or jail superintendent giving Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists positions as law enforcement officers, it’s a disgrace. If We the People are going to hang on to our Liberties and Freedoms, we have to support only those who support the Bill of Rights in its entirety, and elect in place of all those politicians who are in support the Muslim Brotherhood, C.A.I.R. and all Muslim groups that are under the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood. – God Bless America, Israel, the NRA and all Real Freedom Fighting Patriots.
