Obama's Disastrous "National Security" President Obama whitewashes the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. During Obama’s Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly, Egypt was in the midst of a revolution that eventually led to the ouster of longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Obama was asked about whether the Muslim Brotherhood was a threat. He responded: I think they’re one faction in Egypt. They don’t have majority support in Egypt. But they’re well organized. There are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S. There’s no doubt about it. He went on to claim that there are many secularists and liberals in Egypt that wanted representative government. The rest of the administration followed suit, with Daniel Shapiro of the National Security Council assuring Jewish groups on a conference call that the Muslim Brotherhood would “be a minor player in Egyptian politics.” New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof also pointed to questionable polls claiming that the Muslim Brotherhood only received 15 percent support. As we’ve seen in recent weeks, the president was completely wrong in his assessment (as were the administration flacks and media lapdogs who parroted the president’s claims). In the first two rounds of elections, the Muslim Brotherhood has come out on top, and with their Salafist Al-Nour allies, they aim to control the Egyptian parliament with a significant legislative majority — possibly enough to rewrite the country’s constitution. In the first round, they secured 37 percent of the seats; in the second round, they won 47 percent of the seats up for grabs. Now, the Obama administration’s think-tank allies are spinning the Muslim Brotherhood’s electoral success by assuring the Beltway’s “smart set” that the group is savvy and politically flexible, meaning there’s nothing for us to fear. How did Obama miscalculate so poorly on the Muslim Brotherhood’s support in Egypt? Well, that brings us to … 2) Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tells Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood is a “largely secular” group (February 10) Just a few days after Obama claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood lacked major support in Egypt, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper went before the House Intelligence Committee and was asked by Rep. Sue Myrick about the organization. He gave this response: The term “Muslim Brotherhood” … is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam. … They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera. … In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally. Catcalls poured in from all quarters. Richard Engel on MSNBC called Clapper’s comments “a wild misreading of the organization.” Sen. Mark Kirk expressed his concern about Clapper’s remarks and the Obama administration’s position with respect to the Muslim Brotherhood. ABC News noted that the State Department’s own background note on Egypt described the Brotherhood as a “potent political and religious force.” Even FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was testifying with Clapper, had to add: “Obviously, elements of the Muslim Brotherhood here and overseas have supported terrorism.” This put the lie to Clapper’s claims that they had “eshewed violence” (e.g., Hamas). It wasn’t even the close of business that day when Clapper’s spokesman issued a “clarification” of the director’s remarks. What is important about this episode is that Clapper was not speaking off-the-cuff, but was reading verbatim from a set of written briefing notes that had been prepared by the top intelligence analysts in the intelligence community. They had apparently ignored ( unlike PJ Media’s Barry Rubin) that the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood had declared war on the U.S. just a few months before, just as the Clinton administration ignored al-Qaeda’s declaration of war in 1998. As we continue to see the Middle East devolve into fundamentalist Islamic totalitarianism over the next year — perhaps the worst foreign policy disaster in the past century — we can be reminded that the U.S. intelligence community not only didn’t see it coming but actively aided in the collapse by blinding policy makers to the reality of the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda. pjmedia.com

2012-- year when Muslims make major effort to shut down freedom of speech, Bare Naked Islam Reinstated – Bare Naked Islam Support: A Suggestion for Bloggers and Commenters December 30, 2011 By Maggie maggiesnotebook.com Tweet that Bare Naked Islam is back up on WordPress.com but must be gone by January 6th. A tweet says WordPress claims CAIR had nothing to do with their expulsion. @barenakedislam barenakedislam SHOCKER! WP has reinstated my blog and say CAIR did not pressure them. But they still want me gone by Jan 6 Read the latest BNI post here and note that while WordPress.com says CAIR did not pressure them, BNI says CAIR bragged about it all over the web. Now to the story that I began with: Bloggers and readers are passionate about the silencing of Bare Naked Islam by WordPress.com. Did the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) convince WordPress.com to remove the site from the Internet? The answer I guess is, we don’t know. Please read the details here. I want to pass on some of the comments and links left on my article linked in the previous sentence. I know there are hundreds more on on other blogs. Take a look at No. 1 below. If you are a blogger or if you comment at counterjihadist sites, read it and think about it. Those of us who blog about everything political, but not solely about jihad, might consider doing at least one post a day on Jihadi Islamic behavior. UPDATE: Support Bloggers @ Bare Naked Islam 1] We need a concerted approach to this attack, which is likely to be the first of many with other major counterjihadist blogs such as Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch also on CAIR’s list. 2012 looks like being the year when the Muslims make a major effort to shut down freedom of speech, because they know that Islam cannot survive the light of truth. So we need to analyze our vulnerabilities. Counterjihadist bloggers need to consider spreading the risk and avoiding presenting single concentrated targets for the enemy. Blogs need to be mirrored and duplicated and spread out around multiple platforms. Counterjihadists should not merely comment on counterjihadist blogs, but should also disperse counterjihadist comments throughout the blogosphere (general political/religious/community blogs etc) wherever they can be slipped in. Crombouke @ Info on Islam 2] The Mosque mentioned in the video has been tied to both attacks on the World Trade Center, The Ft Hood Murders, an assassination attempt on President George Bush. several cases of money laundering for Hamas, and 7 members who were arrested in Pakistan where they had gone to train with Al Quedea. There was also an incident where a member and his wife were stopped by police after being observed videoing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge between Annapolis and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. A lot of families take video’s of the boats on the bay while they’re crossing the bridge. This couple was videoing the bridges supporting structure. Maybe they were going to give an engineering class at the Mosque.. Grumpy @ Grumpy Opinions 3] As soon as Bare Naked Islam gets back online, I plan to add it to blogroll. CAIR can go pound sand. Opus#6 at American Perspective here and here. 4] If you find yourselves being sued by islamic supremacists, you should contact Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, they have been through it and know how to put you in touch with people who can help defend your right to speak the truth. Zilla @ Zilla of the Resistance 5] Just adding my “two cents” … this may be the final camel that broke the back to wake up everyone to the fact that we have slowly been losing our freedoms .. and I do not believe CAIR managed this by themselves; their connections are in all the crooked high places in Washington, DC. Bee Sting at Americans Stand With Israel 6] My advice to BNI would be to self-host. WordPress.com is a free platform, WordPress.org is self-hosted. With a self-hosted site they could use advertising revenue to pay for the hosting fees. Then again, if SOPA is passed, we could all be at risk of being shut down at the whim of anyone with a beef and bureaucrats who will do their bidding. The Lonely Conservative 7] From some Greek orthodox Christians friends , With our support to barenakedislam and the wish , to read again A.S.A.Possible. anonymous All these interest information’s and articles , provided by bare-naked ! Anonymous 8] Thanks Barenaked islam for showing us the truth about islam!! From a serb orthodox christian…we will never give up to islam!!! Stefan 9] How many muslims go around and scream death to America, convert or die, islam will dominate the world, dance in the streets during 911 and they say its their right to free speech? But dare say muslims are terrorists or islam is violent, then all of a sudden its hate speech! Hypocrites! King of Infidels 10] Bare Naked Islam had THE BEST PICS, VIDEOS, NEWS, COMMENTARY – NO THREATS AT ALL WERE EVER SEEN!!!! Islam on the march!!!! we need to stop preaching to OUR choir and get out to the legislators – THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!! CAIR/HAMAS/ISLAM DICTATING TO AMERICAN PUBLIC WHAT WE CAN OR CANNOT SEE OR READ OR SPEAK? The war is on full guns now – striking at the heart of American Constitutional Rights!! Advise your Congresspeople, Assemblypeople and local law makers – silencing of the First Amendment shall not be tolerated – and what an example to use!! BNI was the ONLY site posting the most grim videos and pics of Islam at work. NO ONE ELSE HAD THE GUTS!!! Like the saying used to be : who ya gonna believe – me or your lying eyes? DanS 11] One thing about it Maggie’s Notebook does not filter out comments and have to approve the truth blogged about our lousy government that has turned against it’s people. Shame on Word Press and anyone else that stands with CAIR (an evil back-lashing, backbiting group of Muz that will cut your head off in a heart beat as they even kill their own children in so called honor killings) What kind of people would do that sort or thing? ljcarolyne 12] I miss Bare Naked Islam; I think we are in a Battle for the hearts and minds of Western Civilization and he (or she?) was a brave and un-relenting warrior in that struggle. I hope that he/she finds another forum to publish her page and I’m sorry that Word Press are a bunch of spineless cowards…Alaska 13] I assure you…that BNI has not given up. She is a fighter for free speech and will continue to fight for us. She just needs to find a domain that isn’t full of Dhimmi cowards. TW Let’s think about speaking the truth about jihad’s many avenues more frequently, as Info on Islam suggests, and hope that BNI finds a good home by January 6th. Posted by Maggie @ Maggie’s Notebook
