Egyptian Magazine: Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrates Obama Administration

An Egyptian magazine claims that six American Islamist activists who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy.
The Dec. 22 story published in Egypt's Rose El-Youssef magazine (read an IPT translation here) suggests the six turned 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."
The story is largely unsourced, but its publication is considered significant in raising the issue to Egyptian readers.
The six named people include: Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.
Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization, which the magazine identifies as a Brotherhood "subsidiary." It suggests that Alikhan was responsible for the "file of Islamic states" in the White House and that he provides the direct link between the Obama administration and the Arab Spring revolutions of 2011.
Elibiary, who has endorsed the ideas of radical Muslim Brotherhood luminary Sayyid Qutb, may have leaked secret materials contained in Department of Homeland Security databases, according to the magazine. He, however, denies having any connection with the Brotherhood.
Elibiary also played a role in defining the Obama administration's counterterrorism strategy, and the magazine asserts that Elibiary wrote the speech Obama gave when he told former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave power but offers no source or evidence for the claim.
According to Rose El-Youssef, Rashad Hussain maintained close ties with people and groups that it says comprise the Muslim Brotherhood network in America. This includes his participation in the June 2002 annual conference of the American Muslim Council, formerly headed by convicted terrorist financier Abdurahman Alamoudi.
He also participated in the organizing committee of the Critical Islamic Reflection along with important figures of the American Muslim Brotherhood such as Jamal Barzinji, Hisham al-Talib and Yaqub Mirza.
Regarding al-Marayati, who has been among the most influential Muslim American leaders in recent years, the magazine draws connections between MPAC in the international Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure.
Magid heads ISNA, which was founded by Brotherhood members, was appointed by Obama in 2011 as an adviser to the Department of Homeland Security. The magazine says that has also given speeches and conferences on American Middle East policy at the State Department and offered advice to the FBI.
Rose El-Youssef says Patel maintains a close relationship with Hani Ramadan, the grandson of Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, and is a member of the Muslim Students Association, which it identifies as "a large Brotherhood organization."

Well said Patrick.
As for you Larry, I am astounded by your lack of factual knowledge about our sitting president. If your only source of information is what you see on television or read in mainstream newspapers then I can understand how one might come to the conclusions that you have. Broaden your horizons and open your eyes. There are many news sources that report actual facts vs. spinning them to always favor Obama and his administration. Not looking at all of the news sources and forming opinion based on the big picture vs. watching CNN, MSNBC and reading the NY Times or one of it's affiliate newspapers is ostrich-like behavior. Wake up or go down with the ship. I can assure you it is floundering and is sinkable. Don't come knocking on our doors for a life preserver when it does. We will only tell you that we told you so and best of luck. The biggest problem in this country is the uneducated voter created by our failed government influenced education system.
sophistry from the left

As Larry Peterson peremptorily constructs his narrative, I am struck by the capricious attack on the Tea Party. The Tea Party has maintained their critique of the Obama Administration's fiscal and monetary policies. Any reasonable and objective person would do the same. This administration has placed the USA in a precarious position, as it relates to economics, foreign policies, our ability to defend ourselves, homeland security, civil and constitutional rights. Larry's nebulous attempt to exonerate President Obama and place economic culpability with the Tea Party is either mega credulity, at best or structured sophistry, at worst. This president has joined forces with a foreign government in law suits against his own country. He has parlayed a race divide between white citizens and black citizens. He exonerated members of the Black Panther Party (BPP) that were convicted of using intimidation at the voting polls. He courted members of the (BPP) when campaigning. To properly chronicle all of his egregious behavior, it would take far too many pages than are available on this blog. We have people like you, Larry, to thank for the mess we're in now.

More dumb attacks on the President! Tea Party members who have done so much for our country by painting Obama to look like Hitler. When I think about Socialism-I think Hitler.
The Birth Certificate was not enough for you people or for Trump-even though he had secret agents that were going to disclose unknown facts! I forget-just what did they find?=nothing-and he made a fool out of himself and others that believed that Obama wished us harm. Now, you want his grades? The President of the Harvard Law Review and former Senator for the State of IL.? I suppose that we found him in Islamic territory, and imported him to run for the IL. Senate without checking into his background. You conspiracy people have done nothing except making further division in our country-and added to the economic meltdown of this country. Go soak your teabags,and leave the governing to the Professionals. You are entitled to your opinions,-not your own facts.
Wake Up!

@ Scott.. You asked this question, "Does anyone think for a second that someone would be able to work close to the President with a questionable background?" Well, for your information, Obama has a questionable, if not deceptive background. He is a fraud! As far as a problem with the security infrastructure and the integrity of the United States government, Obama is trying to destroy America and he has handpicked most of the people working under him. Do some research and learn the truth instead of just assuming that all is good and well with our government. The Obama administration does not care about the American people. Their only concern is the implementation of a Socialist/Marxist/Communist agenda!
President Obama is the result of infiltration of foreign interests in America

Like most politicians, Presidents Bush and Obama have compromised national security by seeking personal gain from participation in promoting Arab and Islamic propaganda. The weakness of capitalism is that a business person can have no regret when making a profit from deals with anti-America businesses and governments. The American people are in grave danger because many people have placed the value of the almighty dollar above the safety and security of American citizens. Worst of all, the pro-Islamic propaganda has been allowed into public schools under the guise of "educating" the students about the real Islam. Rather than addressing questions about terrorism, the violent overthrow of non-Islamic governments and the deplorable disrespect of women, the textbooks only provide lessons that present Islamic teachings as completely benevolent. It is a disgrace that American universities have willingly accepted millions of dollars from the Saudi government in return for implementing and designing fabricated and biased history lessons on Islam.
