What Blaze report involving the Muslim Brotherhood did an Egyptian paper seemingly confirm?

Egyptian magazine Rose El Youssef says people with Muslim Brotherhood ties connected to White House

The Egyptian magazine Rose El-Youssef is finally acknowledging what a Blaze report from April 2012 revealed: that at least six American-Islamist with Muslim Brotherhood ties are actively working within the Obama administration.

Among others, TheBlaze article featured several key Islamic leaders including:

Arif Alikahn, Former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Policy Development: Now a Distinguished Visiting Professor of DHS and Counterterrorism at the National Defense University, Alikahn also served as Deputy Mayor for Public Safety for the City of Los Angeles where he reportedly derailed the LAPD’s efforts to monitor the city’s Muslim community — particularly its radical mosques and madrassas where certain 9/11 hijackers were said to have received support. He is affiliated with MPAC, which has called the terrorist group Hezbollah a “liberation movement.”

Salam al-Marayati, Founder and Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC): Marayati is an Iraqi immigrant who drew national attention over a decade ago when then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt nominated him to serve on the National Commission on Terrorism. Backlash over al-Marayati’s defense of Hezbollah and other Islamic groups prompted a withdrawal of the nomination. The Center for Security Policy reports that MPAC was formed in 1986 as the Political Action Committee for the Islamic Center for Southern California, one of the largest Wahhabi mosques in the country. While MPAC later fractioned-off, one of the founders of the Islamic Center, Hassan Hathout, was a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood who also spent time in Egyptian prison.

Mohamed Elibiary, Homeland Security Advisory Committee Member: He is the former president of the Freedom and Justice Foundation, which was billed to ”promote a Centrist Public Policy environment in Texas by coordinating the state level government and interfaith community relations for the organized Texas Muslim community.” He spoke at a 2004 conference in Dallas praising the “Great Islamic Visionary” Ayatollah Khomeini. Most recently he is famous for leaking highly sensitive intelligence documents to a media outlet in Texas.

Rashad Hussain, State Department Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation: The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report uncovered that Hussain spoke at a conference sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, the Association of Muslim Social Scientists. An internal Brotherhood document dubbed the Social Scientists as one of “our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” Hussain also spoke at the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of Georgetown University, which reportedly receives Saudi funding and is directed by Muslim Brotherhood advocate, John Esposito. In 2004, Hussain also participated in the Muslim Students Association’s annual conference, a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood and known as one of its front-groups. The report also asserts that many of the Student Associations’ nearly 600 college chapters “have engaged in extremism and the group closely collaborates with the other Brotherhood fronts.”

Imam Mohamed Magid, Homeland Security Countering Violent Extremism Working Group Member : He is a Sudanese-born president for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) with alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA’s parent is the Muslim Student Association. ISNA completed a $21 million headquarters in Indianapolis using funds raised in part from Muslim Brotherhood.

Eboo Patel, Obama Administration Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships: Patel spoke at a Muslim Students Association and ISNA convention, appearing on a panel alongside Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, and Siraj Wahhaj, who was named as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and has defended the convicted WTC bombers. Wahhaj allegedly advocates the Islamic takeover of America.

The Egyptian article, which was released on December 22, 2012 (The Investigative Project on Terrorism provides a translation here) named each of those featured above, claiming they have transformed the White House “from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

ITP admits that while el-Youssef’s piece remains mainly unsourced, the publication is revered among Egyptian readers.

Two types of Islamist 1. Islamist terrorist , they want to conquer the world threw violence.
2. Islamist :those willing to wait for larger Muslim population before conquering the world by violence.
Been there, seen it, heard it from the horses mouth.

  I ask that question everyday… There’s more than enough dirt on this guy and yet nothing is done….
  Either 1 – both political parties are in on it… 2 – they have dirt on those who would oppose barry.. 3- lives have been threatened… or 4 – money has been paid and promises have been made….
  
  We are getting screwed and I see only one possible solution….

  OH, BHO can be impeached, by We The People outside of normal channels. It would have to be framed in a very very sensitive nature so as to not incur the “racist” label. The question is can it be done in an exquisitely non-obnoxious way. I think it can. We need the right people to head up a non-biased collection of people.

All Muslims including members of CAIR must stop contributing to the economic and academic development of non Islamic countries. The true followers of Islam whether they are converts or born into it, must stop taking free welfare from the west and demonstrate our true independence as followers of the Prophet (pbuh). Otherwise we are helping the infidel and not our brothers and sisters in Islamic countries where the true Sharia Law rules. We must stop exposing our Muslim children to the evils of infidel life of drugs, movies, music, pornography, alcohol, sex and much more. Our Muslim girls are not wearing their burquas. Instead our duaghters are exposing their breast and buttocks and having sex with the kuffar as young as 8 years of age.The prophet has commaded that all muslims in the west must come and join Anjum Chaudri, Anwar Al Awlaki, Abu Izadeen, Andre Carson, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright and I in hijra, or migration to a Muslim land,” in Somalia. Are you with us? Prevent your little girls from becoming prostitues for the kuffar. The kuffar must not be allowed to mufa’khatha our little Muslim girls. Come to Muslim countries. Inshallah. We wait for you in Somalia. Will you come to save Islam?

  If you live in the US, I suggest you move. Tired of all the griping. From the president down to the tree huggers. MOVE! This is OUR country and we don’t need Sharia Law.

Blaze you are really getting slow. I saw this story a couple days ago.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/01/egyptian-lawyers-say-obama-gave-muslim-brotherhood-15-billion.html.

(fyl that’s 1.5 Billion-no decimal in link name)

There are far worse consequences that have happened since Beck broke the news. Many, many people are being slaughtered and NO ONE says or does anything, How long before stealth jihad here goes to violent jihad here?

  Hot on TheBlaze Blog: Did an Egyptian News Outlet Just Confirm a Blaze Report from a Year Ago?
  
  The top of the page shows that the report was from a YEAR ago and CONFIRMED today.
  
  They weren’t late, they were early to the party that no one attended.

Is anyone, just one single person anywhere, surprised that Brotherhood individuals are working closely with our current President?

I’m not.

I’m also not surprised that our current President will NOT work – closely or otherwise – with true Americans (those who hold that the Constitution is THE supreme Law of this country, contrary to Obama’s personal beliefs).
