Muslim Brotherhood US House Rep of course wants to Cut of Egyptian Military!

[bodecea]

Let them work this out for themselves. It is time the US back down with the rhetoric and let the people of Egypt decide their own fate. Who are we to take a side, we can't even take care of our own domestic problems.

Isn't that kind of what we did last year when they voted in the Muslim Brotherhood?

A mistake they would not likely make again.

So what do we got?

On one side, we have a buncha military executing people in the streets.

On the other side, we have buncha Muslims executing people in the streets.

Hilariously, some Americans are picking sides!!! As if one buncha murderers is morally superior to the other.

"If'n they are killin' mooslims, they has to be the good guys..."

Never mind the millions of Egyptian civilians caught in the middle. They's just spectators.

You've got to pick a side...that's the rule!
Are you a Muslim-lover and a Jesus/America-hater, or do you love America and hate Mooslims??
There can be no shades of grey in foreign policy matters.

OP- Yikes, hater dupes!

 

[bravoactual]

of course Ellison wants aid cut to the army.....he's on the side of his fellow Brotherhood terrorists....

Bachmann was right...

Offer up your proof that Mr. Ellison is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, he is a Muslim, but that alone does not make him a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The usual Fixed Snooze, non-think response.

I want to cut aid to Egypt too. We shouldn't be giving them anything to begin with.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

American military aid is against the law in the face of a coup. That's why the WH and "news" outlets have avoided using the term coup for the current coup taking place in Egypt.

You have proof behind your assertion? Is so then show it, if not then shut the fuck up!

Sure thing, dullard.

Law says the U.S. is required to cut aid after coups. Will it?

Time after time in the ME, elections result in radical governments....are these ancient civilizations capable of peaceful self-governance? it appears not because they consider their time on earth one of punishment instead of enjoyment and look forward to their own death for escape. So it figures their kings would be replaced by religious tyrants equally brutal and uncaring. We need to produce our own oil and keep Israel prosperous and well defended....that's it...we tried, it didn't work.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

We dont need to do shit for israel. They should pull up their big boy pants and take care of themselves. Not our problem.

I want to cut aid to Egypt too. We shouldn't be giving them anything to begin with.

Cut foreign aid preiod. To all countries. We're giving out hand outs to countries on money we fucking borrowed. How long can we keep buying friends?

7-23-12 by Robert Spencer...

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has accused Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) of having a “long record of being associated” with the Hamas-linked Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Evoking the days of McCarthyism, a common charge being leveled at Bachmann these days, Ellison responded: “I am not now, nor have I ever been, associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.” He accused Bachmann of religious bigotry:

“I think she has a very narrowly prescribed definition of who belongs and who doesn’t. And there’s a whole bloc of people she don’t like. I think she thinks that we’re evil because we don’t understand God the way she does….It’s also about marginalizing and alienating a certain group of Americans who she does not view are American enough.”

Not content with that he accused her of petty attention-seeking:
....

The only problem with Ellison’s wounded-martyr stance toward Bachmann’s accusations is that what she said is true: Ellison really does have a “long record of being associated” with Hamas-linked CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood.

As long ago as 2006, Ellison’s closeness to Nihad Awad, co-founder of Hamas-linked CAIR, was a matter of public record. Awad, who notoriously said in 1994 that he was “in support of the Hamas movement,” spoke at fundraisers for Ellison, raising considerable sums for his first Congressional race. According to investigative journalist Patrick Poole, Ellison has appeared frequently at CAIR events since then, despite the fact that CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed posters telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI.

Poole explains that “according to Justice Department, Awad is a longtime Hamas operative. Multiple statements made by federal prosecutors identify Awad as one of the attendees at a 1993 meeting of US Muslim Brotherhood Palestine Committee leaders in Philadelphia that was wiretapped by the FBI under a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant. The topic of discussion during that 1993 meeting was how to help Hamas by working in the U.S. to help sabotage the Oslo Peace Accords.” But none of that fazed Ellison.

CAIR is also linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Awad and CAIR’s cofounder, Omar Ahmad, were officials of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) before founding CAIR. A captured internal Muslim Brotherhood document lists the IAP as one of the Brotherhood’s allied groups in the U.S.

And as for the Muslim Brotherhood itself, in 2008 Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. What is the Muslim American Society? The Muslim Brotherhood. “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” So reported the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb. The Muslim American Society, according to Steven Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, “is the de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. The agenda of the MAS is to … impose Islamic law in the U.S., to undermine U.S. counterterrorism policy.”

what....no answer bravoactual.....?

it's time these anti-American Islamist infiltrators are exposed and declared enemies of the U.S. and get kicked out the U.S.....at the very least kicked out of out of their government jobs.....

 

[bravoactual]

I want to cut aid to Egypt too. We shouldn't be giving them anything to begin with.

I totally agree. I would cut aid to Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

still nothing to counter the fact that Ellison is linked to the MB...?

Obama has already fucked up our relationship with the Egyptian people by siding with the Muslim Brotherhood.....so at this point it doesn't really matter anymore if we send the Egyptians aid or not....they will get plenty from other sources like Saudi Arabia...however at the least it might help to keep the door open for future dealings...

Brotherhood friends like Ellison just want to make sure the freedom-promoting Egyptian army doesn't get any more help from us...

 

[ScreamingEagle]

Obama and others like Ellison think Egypt and the world should accept Muslim Brotherhood oppressive terrorist Islamic rule because they 'democratically' won the election....

 

[Duped]

There are too many unforeseen variables in world politics - we need to stop the damn gambits!

We should stick with our staunch allies, and support them. There should either be peace, or war. All this inbetween meddling for effect is so convuluted ; it is against our interest. Let all these dubious entities work out things for themselves. If they threaten us, attack us, or our true blue friends - smite them, and take all their shit. Our policy should be don't tread on us, or we will fuck you up!

I have already postedmy answer.

Congressman Ellison is the first Muslim-American Elected To The United States House of Representatives.

Just because Mr. Ellison is a Muslim, does not in anyway, shape, and/or form automatically a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a Political Organization in Egypt.
