It's possible that Barack Obama's seemingly counterproductive, idiotic statements about the current crisis in Egypt may not just be lazy blathering from the most ineffectual US President since Jimmy Carter.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a murderous gang of Ismaist fanatics. Despite winning the election in Egypt, they have no respect for democracy and like fascists before them, used the democratic process to impose their own form of dictatorial tyranny. The beliefs and principles guiding the Muslim Brotherhood are thoroughly antithetical to western values, democracy and the United States. Many in the Brotherhood have gone so far as to promise the genocide of Egypt's Christian community if they regain power, and during the current crisis, they have burned down dozens of Coptic churches.
So in response to the Brotherhood riots in Egypt following the deposition of the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, Obama condemned the Egyptian Generals who are more friendly to the US. The American President's statements seemingly lent support to the depraved killers of the Muslim Brotherhood, whom Obama ridiculously characterized as "peaceful protesters". Barely paying lip service to the Brotherhood's attempts to slaughter Christians, Obama has gone so far as to threaten to hinder desperately-needed US aid to Egypt's government if the violent Islamists continue to be repressed.
On the surface, Obama's words make him look more like a Muslim Brotherhood plant in the White House than a President acting in the interests of the United States.
But all may not be as it seems.
One thing that many in the west forget is that Muslims in the Middle East despise the US, its government, and in particular, its President. Obama's "apology tour" at the beginning of his term did nothing to mollify that hate. Nor did his efforts at appeasement make the Arabs hate him less, they only made them lose respect for US strength and determination.
But perhaps Obama understands the contempt he engenders in the Muslim Middle East.
After all, Obama's approbation would be reviled in the Middle East much the same way that we in the West would feel disgust towards those getting adulation from the depraved Grand Ayatollah of Iran.
Could it be Obama understands that in that tumultuous region, praise from him is more damning than the most effective curse?
According to a report in the leftist, ant-American British newspaper The Guardian, the Egyptian government's crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, while incurring the censure of Obama, is garnering widespread domestic support in Egypt. Their government has portrayed The Muslim Brotherhood as "western-backed terrorists" and the apparent aid and succor from Obama must reinforce that message.
Could it be that Obama is really a genius who is willing to sacrifice his image and credibility in order to bolster a friendly government?
I doubt it. I doubt it very much.
But you never know....
