RightChange: Obama Open To Islamist Rule In Egypt, Are You Surprised?

After days of sitting on the fence about what to do with the protests of Egyptians demanding their ruler Mubarak be overturned, the Obama administration finally got off it.  Now, the White House is stating they are open to the Muslim Brotherhood being a part of the new Egyptian government.

The White House said:

“The organization (Muslim Brotherhood) must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government.”

Coincidentally, The Muslim Brotherhood is an Egyptian opposition group.

“The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest and best-organized Egyptian opposition group, with an estimated 600,000 members, many of them educated, middle-class men. It has formally disavowed terrorism and violence, but its inclusion in any government would probably be deeply controversial among U.S. allies and especially in Israel, because the group advocates tearing up Egypt's peace treaty with the Jewish state.”

But wait, there’s more.

“In addition to its political efforts, the Muslim Brotherhood runs social and economic programs that help fill the gaps in Egypt's public services. It rejects the possibility of a woman or a Christian as president of Egypt, and would press for stricter adherence to Islamic codes.”

Since Hillary Clinton and the White House have expressed their desire for the new Egyptian government to “transition towards democracy,” they did not stop short of giving the green light for a radical Islamist organization to take over.  This is typical of the Obama administration that has been pursuing a foreign policy with no clear direction, foundation or objective.

Neither Obama nor anybody in his camp is willing to take a stand on matters domestic or abroad.  And the fact that they have sat on the sidelines and given the ok for a people who are crying out against tyranny to be taken over by a radical Muslim group is just plain disgusting.

Egyptians are obviously resentful towards their leader old leader Mubarak, a leader the US has backed for years.  If Obama wants to continue his foreign appeasement policy, he could start by appeasing Egyptians and give them U.S. Democratic support.
