Here's a sign of how very wrong the Obama Administration is about the 'moderate' Muslim Brotherhood.
Today, Egypt's new Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi addressed crowds in Tahrir Square in Cairo. And along with the usual rhetoric about 'maintaining the Islamic revolution', President Morsi made an interesting promise to the crowds in the square and watching him on television:
“I see signs for Omar Abdel Rahman and detainees’ pictures,” he said, referring to placards held by the crowd. “It is my duty and I will make all efforts to have them free, including Omar Abdel Rahman.”
My, my.Pravda-on-the Hudson does its best to whitewash this, but even they seem to evidence a little bit of surprise at how quickly the Muslim Brotherhood is revealing its true character.
For those of you whom don't remember, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, AKA The Blind Sheik is a vicious terrorist connected to Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, an al-Qaeda offshoot, who is now serving a life sentence for his involvement the first World trade center bombing in 1993 and in a plot to assassinate former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.
He was also the man who entered into a criminal conspiracy with his attorney, American traitor Lynne Stewart to carry messages back and forth between the Sheik and the Muslim Brotherhood while he was imprisoned.
President Morsi,by the way,is also a 9/11 truther, a fairly common thing in the Muslim world:
“When you come and tell me that the plane hit the tower like a knife in butter, then you are insulting us,” Mr. Morsi told Mr. Hamid, as he later reported in Foreign Policy. “How did the plane cut through the steel like this? Something must have happened from the inside. It’s impossible.”
Ah yes, those mysterious unseen hands.Had to have been the Mossad. Or the evil Bush Crusaders, plotting to steal Arab oil. Osama bin-Laden was just lying, you see, when he claimed credit for the 'operation.'
The Times also tries to shift this by claiming:
'Although it is all but impossible to find an Egyptian who supports either the 1993 or 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, many are skeptical about the official American accounts of who was responsible for them or for other terrorist plots.'
Apparently they never read translations of the Egyptian press or polls by the Pew Center Trust, which say something entirely different.
Their apparent shock that the 'Arab Spring' is turning into something far different would be almost comical if it wasn't so deadly. The Brotherhood has been dreaming of the Caliphate for years, and President Obama and others in his administration have handed them a first, all important step on a silver platter.
In the future, a radicalized Egypt and Libya will be linked with President Obama the same way Iran and the ayatollahs are linked to Jimmy Carter.
Res ipsa loquiter.
This hits home because at the time I worked around the corner from the WTC and remember coming back from lunch at Yip's and reporters at the news agency next to us were frantically calling bond traders in the WTC after the bombing ("Are you still trading?"). Going home at night, I had never before seen so many flashing lights. Oh and the Sheik was practically my neighbor. Those were the days. Leave it to the Far Left Liberal Dems to advance the cause of radical Islam and make the world far more dangerous...
