Morsi Claims ‘Descendents of Apes and Pigs’ Remark Is Out of Context — As New Vid of Him Slamming Obama Surfaces

Morsi Claims 2010 Bloodsucker Videos Are Out of Context, New Anti Obama Vids Emerge

An Egyptian presidential spokesman said Wednesday that video from 2010 showing now-President Mohammed Morsi calling Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs” and “bloodsuckers who attack Palestinians” has been taken out of context.

His remarks were condemned by the Obama administration this week.

“We believe that President Morsi should make clear that he respects people of all faiths and that this type of rhetoric is unacceptable in a democratic Egypt,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

Speaking with a congressional delegation that included Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Morsi said he was referring to “racist” Israeli policies, not Jews in general.

“President Morsi assured the delegation that the broadcast comments were taken out of an address against the Israeli aggression against Gaza,” Morsi’s spokesman Yasser Ali said. “He also assured them of his respect for monolithic religions, freedom of belief and practicing religions.”

But another segment of video from 2010 that has been uncovered by the Middle East Media Research Institute shows Morsi– then a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood– taking aim directly at President Obama.

Morsi said, according to MEMRI translators:

“One American president after another – and most recently, that Obama – talks about American guarantees for the safety of the Zionists in Palestine. [Obama] was very clear when he uttered his empty words on the land of Egypt. He uttered many lies, of which he couldn’t have fulfilled a single word, even if he were sincere – which he is not.

[...]

“Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them. They must be nursed on hatred. The hatred must continue.”

Here is the video:

Morsi was presumably referring to President Obama’s June 2009 speech in Cairo when he claimed Obama “uttered his empty words on the land of Egypt.”

Amid what have some have called “apologies” for America, Obama sought a new friendship with Egypt at the time:

“I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles – principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

If Morsi hasn’t had change of heart since 2010, when he called Obama liar and urged Egyptians to “nurse” their children on a hatred of the West, the United States might be in for some trouble with our post-Arab Spring peace partner.

Despite it all, McCain said the congressional delegation will push for an additional $480 million in assistance to help Egypt’s faltering economy.

Disarm the American people and arm the Egyptians (Muslims) with American tax dollars. Anyone else see a problem with that picture?

Did nobody catch the misspeaking in this this article? The part where Morsi’s spokesman assured us of Morsi’s respect for “monolithic religions” instead of monotheistic? Seems like a Freudian slip to me. A monolithic religion would be a religion that contains only one correct viewpoint and interpretation that everyone must agree to. He couldn’t be speaking of Judaism, one of the least monolithic religions around.

  Obama was elected by 51% of the American people who have now proven themselves to be full of hate. We now have a majority of people in the United States who hate white people or are self hating white people. Anyway you look at it this place is ugly. That is why I left in 2011 and immigrated to another country. I won’t stay in a country so full of a majority of people who hate other people. And are proud of it. And wear it like a badge of pride or something. And are fiscally irresponsible and have not respect for the rule of law.

Gee! What about all that b— s— from Obama about gaining the respect of the rest of the world, after the Bush Presidency? IHe appears to be way too in love with himself to realize that the rest of the world had more respect for George Bush, than thay do for him.

How could any world leader have respect for an American President who would make Joe Biden next in line for The Presidency of The United States of Anmerica? Disgusting buffoons.

I’m still not seeing from this article how any statement claiming Jews are “descendants of apes and pigs” can be considered “out of context.”

  Because it wasnt “out of context”.
  These people are MASTERS at the art of propaganda and media manipulation.
  Do not trust a single word that comes out of the mouth of a Muslim. Not one. Ever.
  
  They should be barred from holding office in the US or any position of authority.
  
  America —- get your minds right. Enough with the PC “tolerance” BS.
  
  Islam is a POLITICAL MOVEMENT masquerading as a Religion [the religion of peace].
  Its a Tojan Horse.
  
  Get that straight and everything else is easy.

Of course what he said is not taken out of context, He was merely qouting the Quran and now that he has been called out on it he is practicing taqiyya.
What this tyrant said is a prelude of things to come, it is the 1930′s all over again but only what is coming will be a hundred times worse.
The anti Christ religion is on the march and will soon establish a coming caliphate, keep a watchful eye on Turkey this will most likely be the Islamic seat that will wage war on all other religions and non believers.
As much as the Quran preaches hatred towards the people of the book (Jews and Christians) it holds in contempt even more the followers of Hinduism, Buddhists and other religions and pagans and atheists.
It is in the Quran and Obama syas we should respect it
Hitler praised Muhammed and the muslim world threw their support to the Nazis during WW2.
All of this being brought to the world through the Arab spring and its architects , Obama inc.

  Something that no one remembers is that the Turks were kicked out of the allies during the big war because they were so ruthless. But we are now best buddies with them. They were and will be again the seat of power for the caliphate. We need to look at history (REAL history) and not fall into the pit just because we have a man in office that was learning the Qu’ran by heart while in school in his country that he holds citizenship “Indonesia”.
  
  Someday it may actually be brought to the fore that he (Obama) is an Indonesian citizen because his adopted father, Lolo Soetoro, was a citizen of Indonesia. Therefore he is a citizen of Indonesia NOT the US.
  
  Will we ever learn?

“Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them. They must be nursed on hatred. The hatred must continue.”

Such a lovely cult…

“One American president after another – and most recently, that Obama – talks about American guarantees for the safety of the Zionists in Palestine. [Obama] was very clear when he uttered his empty words on the land of Egypt. He uttered many lies, of which he couldn’t have fulfilled a single word, even if he were sincere – which he is not.” – Morsi

“I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles – principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.” – GAYBAMA

Hence, the Arab Spring, and Obammy arming the Muslim Bros….

Math and logic – loved by Conservatives, scorned by DemonicRats…

Morsi is a Koran believing, sharia law loving, prophet worshiping Muslim. He hates Israel and Jews, period.
Obama is……….what?

No love lost between the two men perhaps but that won’t stop Obama from supporting Egypt, Morsi and Islam.

An additional $480,000,000 is an insultingly paltry sum to give the Muslim Brotherhood. An additional $48,000,000,000 would have been more fitting. Comrade McCain should take steps to correct this injustice.

  ARE: Agree. Obama , an atheist/ agnostic- whatever, is much more interested in solving / punishing America for capitalism. His Marxist agenda is a political one , not a religious one, although Obama is as devoted and dedicated to Big Brother Government as any religious ” enthusiast ” is to his God. Obama’s type sees themselves as The Great Avengers who will punish the evil rich today and create a wordily heaven for the ” persecuted” poor. Only trouble is they are punishing people today for the “sins” of their ancestors and this will just create another Hatfield / McCoy round of injustice, hate and retribution. Politics and religion do not mix well .
