‘Firmly Committed’: Obama Reportedly Invites Egypt’s Islamist President to the United States

The Obama administration has invited Egypt’s new Islamist leader Mohammed Mursi to visit the United States in September, according to an Egyptian official, clearly reflecting Washington’s changing view of Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Jerusalem Post explains [all emphasis added]:
Washington, long wary of Islamists and [a former] ally of ousted President Hosni Mubarak, shifted policy last year to open formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood, the group behind Mursi’s win…

His true colours are coming out now because knows he will lose the election. Perhaps he's trying to set up a country of Muslim Brotherhood where he can retire. If I were them, I wouldn't trust him either.

1138 yep, doesn't get anymore patriotic than that huh. Clown.

I guess this is a terrible idea. We should be coddling oppressive dictators and supporting them with billions as they slaughter than people all so we can spend 100's of billions to throw them out later. No way we should respect an official elected through the democratic process.

Not supporting Mubark was another dumb thing the Obama admin did. Mubark kept the islamist extremists/terrorists under control. He saw what happened when they overthrew the Shah of Iran and didn't want that to happen to Egypt.
Same with Gaddafi in Libya. The people they would "slaughter" were those terrorists suspected of overthrowing the government 8:03. Both countries were moderate Islamists countries now destined to be run by terrorists who hate woman and non Muslims and are guilty of the most horrible human abuses possible.

8:03-DO NOT FALL FOR THE OBAMA PROPAGANDA. Murbark was a leader who loved Egypt and didn't want it to be taken over and turned into an extremist stronghold which is exactly what has happened. He slaughtered terrorists-PERIOD! This is why America gave them aid.
The "democracy activists" were nothing more than terrorists in disguise which is something most Egyptians knew and now is a proven fact.
Now in part thanks to Obama moderate Egyptians can not live in peace in their own country!

Obama will go down in history as the president who contributed most to human rights abuses. Not only helping to turn moderate middle eastern countries into islamist/terrorist strongholds but also arming hundreds of Mexican drug cartel members with weapons that are now being linked to the deaths of innocent Mexican citizens.
