It is interesting that the event features Siraj Wahhaj, Sherman Jackson, Suhaib Webb, and Aisha El-Amin…You be the judge!
Editor’s Note – Now that our allies in Saudi Arabia have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, can we finally dispense with the ruse here in the USA that all these Islamic advisors and PACs who are linked to the MB are peaceful, legitimate people and organizations? Can we also dispense with supporting them in places like Egypt, Syria, and anywhere else?
We must follow suit behind Saudi Arabia and list them on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization List. This then means that any member of the government who employs anyone with a Muslim Brotherhood tie must fire them and expel them from the country. This includes the White House, the Defense Department, the State Department and any other tax-payer funded positions.
All relationships, contracts, and interactions with the likes of CAIR, MSO, etc., must be severed. People like Huma Abedin, the former advisor to Hillary Clinton among them, and advisors to Senator McCain as well must be excised from any formal or informal relationships, after-all, it is a crime to support, aid, and abet any terrorist organization.Muslim-Brotherhood-White-House-Obama-Morsi1-e1376862029662

Saudi Arabia designates Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group

(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, in a move that could increase pressure on Qatar whose backing for the group has sparked a row with fellow Gulf monarchies.
The U.S.-allied kingdom has also designated as terrorist the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, whose fighters are battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Interior Ministry said in a statement published by state media.
Friday’s move appeared to enforce a royal decree last month in which Riyadh, which backs some rebel groups in Syria with money and arms, said it would jail for between three and 20 years any citizen found guilty of fighting in conflicts abroad.
It underscored concern about young Saudis hardened by battle against Assad coming home to target the ruling Al Saud royal family – as has happened after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Saudi Arabia’s Islamic religious authorities have spoken out against Saudi fighters going to Syria, but the Interior Ministry estimates that around 1,200 Saudis have gone nonetheless.

The ministry’s statement on Friday said the groups mentioned were those the committee had agreed on and that had been approved by the authorities.
Riyadh fears the Brotherhood, whose Sunni Islamist doctrines challenge the Saudi principle of dynastic rule, has tried to build support inside the kingdom since the Arab Spring revolutions.
In an unprecedented move, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain recalled their ambassadors from Qatar on Wednesday, saying Doha had failed to abide by an accord not to interfere in each others’ internal affairs.
GULF DISPUTE
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are fuming over Qatar’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, and resent the way Doha has sheltered influential cleric Yusuf Qaradawi, a critic of the Saudi authorities, and given him regular airtime on its pan-Arab satellite channel Al Jazeera.
The Interior Ministry said on Friday the royal decree would apply to both Saudis and foreign residents who joined, endorsed or gave moral or material aid to groups it classifies as terrorist or extremist, whether inside or outside the country.
The statement also said “those who insult other countries and their leaders” or “attended conferences or gatherings inside and outside (the country) that aim to target the security and stability and spread sedition in the society”, would be punished by law.
In Egypt, the Brotherhood, which won every election following the toppling of veteran leader Hosni Mubarak in 2011, has been driven underground since the army deposed President Mohamed Mursi, a member of the group that also endured repression in the Mubarak era.
The army-backed government in Cairo designated the Brotherhood as a terrorist group in December after accusing it of carrying out a suicide bomb attack on a police station that killed 16 people. The Brotherhood condemned that attack and denies using violence.
On Friday, Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Badr Abdelatty said Cairo approved of Riyadh’s move to declare the Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
“We hail it, we welcome it,” he said. “It is in the right direction.”
The Saudi Interior Ministry also listed as terrorist Yemen’s Shi’ite Houthi movement and Hezbollah, a radical Shi’ite group in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province which authorities say is linked to Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah.
