Muslim Brotherhood influence in the White House harming persecuted Christians. "Obama's Muslim Advisers Block Middle Eastern Christians' Access to White House," from Creeping Sharia, October 26 (thanks to Pamela Geller):"Americans were warned about Mogahed when Obama hired her in 2009 [Obama Appoints Radical Muslim Apologist To Faith-Based Committee], and well before. H/t Bella via El Cid at Big Peace: Report: Obama's Muslim Advisers Block Middle Eastern Christians' Access to the White House."
From a Middle East correspondent:
Beirut Arab news agency "AL NASHRA" reported on Saturday November 22, that [White House Muslim envoy] DALIA MOGAHED has succeeded in canceling a meeting between the Maronite Patriarch of Lebanon and President Barack Obama. Writing in a"l Nashra", the reporter said "an unnamed US source told the news agency, that those who sought canceling a visit of (the spiritual head of the Maronite Church) PATRIARCH BESHARA RAHI to the White House are Dalia Mujahid (Mogahed), the highest adviser on Arab and Islamic Affairs in the State Department, who is from Egyptian origins. And that," according to" al Nashra", "HEEDING A REQUEST BY THE HIGHER LEADERSHIP OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT, WHO CONSIDER THAT US ADMINISTRATION MUST SUPPORT THE ISLAMIST SUNNI CURRENT FACING THE IRANIAN CURRENT IN THE REGION."
The "al Nashra" report, circulating now widely in the Middle East, but also in the United States and across the Lebanese Christian Diaspora confirms what was already known about the impact THE SO-CALLED "ADVISORS ON ARAB AND ISLAMIC AFFAIRS" IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON MIDDLE EAST ISSUES in general and on US policies regarding the Christians in the Middle East.
The anti-Middle East Christian lobbying in Washington, attributed to MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD FRONT GROUPS AND SYMPATHIZERS is not limited to the Maronites, who form the bulk of the two million Lebanese Americans. According to research showing the links between Presidential adviser DALIA MOGAHED AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, and to NGOs representing Middle East Christian groups in the US, blocking Middle East Christian meetings at the White House and the State Department have been associated with the work of the "advisors" and their allies in the Islamist camp in Washington such as CAIR and MPAC.
Observers believe that the campaign against Americans from Middle East Christian descent has also reached Terrorism experts and congressional advisers and NGO leaders whose field focuses on the Islamist and Jihadist movements. Indeed, in a report published this year, JOHN ESPOSITO, the chair of the Saudi-funded PRINCE ALWALEED BIN TALAL CENTER FOR MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING at Georgetown University (and an associate to Mogahed) endorses sharp attacks against experts and analysts, always charging "Islamophobia."
Blocking the Maronite Patriarch from the White House is a move that is directed to all Middle East Christians in the United States and can have significant effects in the region and even on US politics. Brooklyn Bishop for the Maronites in the US, who are part of America's Catholic Church criticized President Obama for not meeting the Patriarch during his visit. BISHOP MANSOUR wrote:
Patriarch Rai's warning about the future of Christians in Syria is not taboo. Christians are in a state of peril in the same way that Christians of Iraq were a few years ago when two-thirds of them migrated out... A new day is dawning in the Middle East. The Arab Spring is happening with little vision for the summer that will ensue.However, for advisors in the Administration to rebuke the spiritual head of a main Middle East Christian community, and engage in a witch hunt against Middle East Christians, including US citizens, for the benefit of the Muslim Brotherhood is a serious matter the American public should not tolerate.Indeed.
