If the decision of the interim government of Egypt is to consider the organisation of the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, then the United States should follow.

From the time of Hassan al-Banna and the “secret apparatus” staging terror attacks across Egypt and the assassinations of Prime Minister Mahmoud an-Nukrashi Pasha and judge Ahmed El-Khazindar in 1948, to the ongoing attacks on Coptic Christians and churches and the terror campaign targeting the military in the Sinai and elsewhere, the Muslim Brotherhood has always kept terrorism as part of its arsenal and living up to their motto, “Jihad is our way.”

We’ve seen the Brotherhood engage in a two-faced policy of publicly condemning terrorism to media outlets in the West, and then supporting terrorism when they think no one is looking. When they get caught, the predictable response is to claim that they were misquoted or taken out of context. This is why Alain Chouet, the former head of the French Security Intelligence Service, observed that “like every fascist movement on the trail to power, the Brotherhood has achieved perfect fluency in double-speak.”

After the 25 January Revolution, the Obama administration and the American media fell for this double-speak, embracing the so-called “moderate Muslim Brotherhood.”

But as the people of Egypt quickly discovered, they were anything but moderate. Under former President Morsi’s brief tenure, the Muslim Brotherhood’s program of extremism was given a green light. Following his election, one of Morsi’s first agenda items was to demand the release of convicted terrorist leader Shiek Omar Abdel Rahman from American prison. The “Blind Sheik” was convicted in his role in federal court for his leadership role in authorising the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the planned follow-up “Day of Terror” attack. Morsi also released scores of convicted terrorists from Egyptian jails.

Under the Morsi regime attacks against women and religious minorities, including Coptic Christians and Shi’ites, increased dramatically with no response from the government. In April, when mobs and police attacked a funeral at St. Mark’s Cathedral, killing at least one mourner, one of Morsi’s top aides took to Facebook to blame the Coptic Christians for the attacks. The Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party have continued to incite violence against the Coptic community since Morsi’s removal

When Morsi issued his 22 November, 2012 declaration claiming that his power was beyond the review of the courts and that all his decrees could not be appealed – effectively declaring himself dictator – the Obama administration issued no condemnations. As protestors were being tortured by Muslim Brotherhood cadres in front of the presidential palace, the United States was continuing with plans to send planes, tanks, tear gas and financial aid to the Morsi regime over the protests from myself and many of my colleagues in both chambers of the United States Congress.

As Egyptians were being jailed and tried for “defamation” and “insulting the president” and after Morsi appointed a former Jamaa Islamiya terrorist leader as governor of the Luxor Governorate, where his terror group had attacked and killed 62 tourists in 1997, Obama’s Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson gave a speech in Cairo just days before the 30 June Tamarod protests continuing to back Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.

In October 2003, the former counter-terrorism “czar” for both President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Richard Clarke, testified before the US Senate that virtually every Islamic terrorist organisation in the world had in common membership and inspiration from the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. Not only has virtually every leader of Al-Qaeda passed through the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood, but several of the 9/11 hijackers, including ringleader Mohamed Atta, were known to have been radicalised through the Brotherhood.

In February 2011, just days after Mubarak announced he was stepping down, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller told the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that “elements of the Muslim Brotherhood both here and overseas have supported terrorism.”

The move in Egypt to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation is one born out of urgent necessity and the group’s long history of terror. If this decision is made by the Egyptian government then the United States should follow. The designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation is warranted and long overdue.

  • Thanks.

  • Well, now that we got that all on the record .... which has been on the record for years ... my thoughts are exactly as "American ME !" Lets see some action !!!! We continue to here all the rhetoric and all the "talking points" yet we still do not get any ACTION !!!! Right now there is the Attorney General of the United States that is in CONTEMPT of Congress and has been for sometime ..... What is going on in this dismal city ... that wants to continue to bury our CHILDREN in DEBT !!!!!
  • ENOUGH TALK  +++++ ACTION +++++ THERE IS NO MORE TIME IT IS TIME +++++ THIS SPRING WE ARE GOING TO DC HOPEFULLY BY THE MILLIONS , THERE IS ENOUGH TIME TO GET READY  ( THIS MUST BE DONE  ) .

    • I agree, it must be done.  We better take some action, I pray it is not too late..

  • that Obama has continued to keep them inside of our government placing at least two known members inside of Homeland Security, one in the White House and another in the Office of the Secretary of State.

    that he continues to supply and fund their efforts in the middle east all the American equipment and funds that were destined for Egypt continued up till the Brotherhood was removed. 125 M1A1 tanks and they supporting equipment systems. two wings of F16 fighter bombers and their support equipment and garnered a deal where we would pay for two German made Submarines.

    All the efforts to supply Brotherhood affiliates through out the region still continue to this day just like after the Killings at Benghazi, the funds and weapons still went to the affiliated groups.

    Then Iran needed more money to continue their nuclear weapons advances Obama capitulated after a year long secret negotiation using the Brotherhood connections for a worthless deal that allows them to keep their military ambitions secret and on going while opening their economic advances in nuclear energy  to inspection.

    Just how were the Arabs able to name and hunt down and kill all of the CIA's agents in the Middle East soon after the Brotherhood was placed inside of Homeland Security?

    advancing the Agenda of the Brotherhood in the Middle East to eliminate Israel. Why is Obama so set on removing the Moderate government in Syria to replace it with a Brotherhood backed government? 

    Why is funding still going to the killers of Americans? Why is Obama still in power after his treasonous actions? Why have the Republicans and others stood by as his agenda is still carried out with Kerry in the middle east?

    when are the Americans going to say enough?
