Wiesenthal Center: Obama Should Sever Ties With Muslim Brotherhood

Asking Barack Obama to sever ties with the Muslim Brotherhood is like asking Eric Holder to admit that radical Islam exists. It’s like asking Janet Napolitano to admit that Islam is not a “Religion of Peace.” It’s like asking Debbie Wasserman Schultz to admit that the Obama Administration lied about Benghazi. It’ll never happen …

JPost – “The Simon Wiesenthal Center on Friday called on US President Barack Obama to publicly condemn the latest call for jihad against Israel by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide Mohammed Badie and to sever all contacts with the organization until the threat is withdrawn.

The Center’s call comes after Badie reportedly said in his weekly message to supporters that ‘The Jews have…spread corruption on earth [and] spilled the blood of believers,’ and therefore Arabs Should confront the Jewish state ‘Through holy jihad, high sacrifices and all forms of resistance.’

In a joint statement, Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, respectively founder and dean and associate dean of the Center, denounced Badie, saying his ‘rant confirms our long held view that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is the most dangerous anti-Semitic organization in the world today.’

According to the statement, ‘We are not dealing with a Youtube video or a lone extremist Imam, but a call to anti-Semitic violence by a man who has tens of millions of followers and leads the organization that controls Egypt’s future. It cannot be business as usual in Washington when such an assault is launched against the Jewish people.’

They concluded by urging ‘President Obama to condemn the rhetoric and cut off all official and unofficial US contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood until they desist from their hate and war mongering.'” Source – The Jerusalem Post.
