During a press conference in Washington, D.C. this last Wednesday, Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department Marie Harf said that “The United Sates does not rank the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.”
This despite the fact that those who support the Brotherhood often employ terrorism, including al-Qaeda and other jihadi organizations; this despite the fact that, since the ousting of the Brotherhood and Morsi, Egypt has been engulfed in terrorism; this despite the fact that the Brotherhood and their supporters targeted Egypt’s Christians, destroying around 80 churches in a few weeks.
Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Sisi, the man who ousted the Brotherhood to massive praise in Egypt, just went to Russia to meet with President Putin, as the U.S. continues losing one of the Mideast’s most strategic nations.
In Russia, the Muslim Brotherhood is a banned organization.
Even the UK’s former prime minister, Tony Blair recently declared “This is what I say to my colleagues in the west. The fact is, the Muslim Brotherhood tried to take the country away from its basic values of hope and progress. The army have intervened, at the will of the people…”
The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt; and many fellow Egyptians — both Muslim and Christian — know that it is involved in terrorism. Russia and many other nations also know this.
But apparently not the United States.
The other possibility is that the U.S. government does know of the “nefarious” nature of the Brotherhood, but is allied to it anyway. During the same conference, Harf said that contact between the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the Brotherhood is ongoing.
Much of this was revealed in the context of Ahmed Eleba, an employee of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo currently arrested for, among other things, his close ties to the Brotherhood, including Khairat al-Shater.
Currently imprisoned, al-Shater is the deputy leader of the Brotherhood; along with Morsi and other top Brotherhood leaders, he is being tried for, among other things, direct ties to terrorism.

Eagles_USA says
Obama supports these terrorists, not us American people.

impeach him, you can, join with the growing numbers of others, and make it happen quickly
Arius1071 says
So the MB is not a terrorist organization in spite of the fact that they terrorized and murdered Egyptian citizens in their fortified camps in Cairo, in spite of the fact that they terrorized and murdered Christians and destroyed Churches in Egypt after Morsi was deposed by the Egyptian Army, in spite of the fact that Al Qaeda, Hamas, and other major jihadi organizations are branches of the MB?
The US government is as stupid as a rock.
Grumpy says
Don’t forget with US Dollars and US Weapons they’re trying to wipe out Christianity in Syria.. They are Obama’s Good Rebels
Dan Nowotarski says
You’re absolutely right and it’s especially disgraceful that the United States would support these Muslim Terrorists. God Bless.
SFTOBEY says
Perhaps not stupid, but complicitly evil.

Ms. Marie Harf would be joining the ranks of those collecting unemployment if she said anything to the contrary. Denial of Jihad and warm embrace of all things Muslim are apparently rigidly enforced requirements for employment in the Obama administration.
Islamophobic? Fear of Jihad? You’re damned right.

Obama, Osama, Brotherhood, jihad……….the common link: islam & mohammed

U.S. State Department Marie Harf said that “The United States does not rank the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.”
Sounds familiar.
1937: Norman Hillson “I speak of Germany”, London 1937 said “: the Germans (inclusive of the Nazi) . that great unified people are looking for peace and see friendship with Britain as a basis for peace not only for themselves but for everyone else”
2013: David Cameron – “Islam Is Peaceful and Compatible with Democracy”
2013: Hillary Clinton “The suggestion that faithful Muslims cannot thrive in a democracy is insulting, dangerous and wrong,”.
Yet what also sounded familiar on the streets of Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood were in power were the echos of the 1930’s. In fact exactly the same.
2013: Egyptian artists rally against ‘Islamisation’ of culture – 1937: The Munich “Degenerate Art” Exhibit ‘Nazisation’ of culture
http://citizensfirstasnau.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/2013-egyptian-artists-rally-against.html
Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Libya, Turkey, Iran, London, Boston, Bali, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia,… appear to statistically rationally determine U.S. State Department, David Cameron and Hillary Clinton’s views as so false as to be incredulous. Which they are just as Norman Hillson’s views were in the 1930’s.

You reap what you sow. You americans voted him in not once but twice knowing that he has very close ties with the MB. Next will be clinton who also has tiew with the MB. America is now a curse to the christian and free world.
SFTOBEY says
There are an awful lot of us that did NOT vote for this POS usurper – and remember the Democratic voting slogan: Vote early. Vote often. Even you dead people.

Dan Nowotarski says
I always enjoy reading your articles, your writings are very honest and informative. I don’t believe with all the information out there, that it would be a stretch to suggest that President Obama and his administration know exactly the true nature of the Muslim Brotherhood and yet still elect to align themselves with them. I myself find it to be a disgrace for the President of the United States along with his administration, and other elected officials to be supporting the Muslim Brotherhood as they’ve done. We are at war with ourselves in that we have been fighting Muslim Terrorists yet many of our elected leaders are supporting Muslim Terrorists. Thanks again. – God Bless America, Israel, the NRA and all Real Freedom Fighting Patriots.
D. Brown says
The Obama administration has already surmised what evidence exists and may be presented in the ongoing MB trials in Egypt., proving that the U.S. was supportive of the MB utilizing Al Qaeda to do their dirty work in Egypt, and possibly collusion. In true Obama fashion they’ll deny and hope it goes away. Some Egyptians claim Obama and Clinton are guilty of crimes against humanity and have filed legal petitions to pursue criminal charges. The wheels of justice turn too slowly.
James Foard says
America’s present political establishment is similar to the reign of the evil Prince John of Nottingham. Holder is like the evil sheriff, Prince John’s underling.
Robin Hood and his merry men were the loyal opposition, using guerilla warfare against an evil regime until the rightful King returned.
Good King Richard was absent during the story, fighting in a crusade in the east.
We need desperately a good King Richard to show up on the scene. We need, if you will, a present day King David to overthrow the Canaanites and re-establish the Kingdom. Our plight is desperate. The rich, fat vassais of Prince John, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, Democrats, liberal educational institutions, hollywood elites, corporate heads, seem to hold all the cards, as it is written,
“The kings of the earth have
gathered themselves against
the Lord and against His anointed”, (Ps 2);
and
“At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
Swords are in their lips;
For they say, “Who hears?”” (Ps. 59)
Yet it is written,
“But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the nations in derision.
9 I will wait for You, O You his Strength;[b]
For God is my defense.
10 My God of mercy[c] shall come to meet me;
God shall let me see my desire on my enemies” (Ps 59).
The battle is not yours, but the Lord’s, and one shall chase a thousand, and ten shall chase ten thousand. Right will prevail, truth shall win, righteousness shall reign from sea to sea. Stand strong, faint not, trust in our King, our God, the Lord is His Name.
