The Caliph of ISIS, The Leader Of Al Qaeda and Arafat Have 1 Scary Thing In Common: Obama’s Big Secret

November 8, 2015 By chris Barack Obama

While President Barack Obama and his administration have tried to push the idea that the radical Islamic terror network has nothing to do with Islam itself, a shocking fact has come out about the leaders of the Islamic State group and Al Qaeda, as well as former chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Yasser Arafat.

They were all at one point members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which the administration considers a “moderate” political organization.

But a new bill to push back against the failure to classify the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization has come before Congress.

On Tuesday, lawmakers in both houses of Congress filed legislation that would formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a sanctioned terrorist organization.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the legislation outlined the Brotherhood’s long history of sponsoring terror activities as reason why the Muslim Brotherhood should be classified as a global terror group.

This bill would force Secretary of State John Kerry to explain why the Obama administration has until now been reluctant to label the Brotherhood as anything other than what it is … a terrorist organization.

A similar bill failed last year. Sen. Ted Cruz sponsored the new legislation in the Senate while Rep. Mario Diaz did he same for the House version of the bill.

“We have to stop pretending that the Brotherhood are not responsible for the terrorism they advocate and finance,” Cruz told the Free Beacon. “We have to see it for what it is: a key international organization dedicated to waging violent jihad.”

“Since the Obama administration refuses to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ … Congress owes it to the American people to tell them the truth about this threat,” he added.

Of course, this is the administration that lets Iran get nukes, fights to protect Muslims whenever they are “targeted,” upbraids Christians of perpetrating the Crusades 500 years after the fact and frees top terrorists from Guantanamo Bay.

Cruz and Diaz have an uphill climb ahead of them.

Barbary pirates

The Barbary pirates, sometimes called Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs, were pirates and privateers who operated from North Africa, based primarily in the ports of Salé, Rabat, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the name of its Berber inhabitants. Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean, south along West Africa's Atlantic seaboard and even South America,[1] and into the North Atlantic as far north as Iceland, but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean. In addition to seizing ships, they engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in the British Isles, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture Christian slaves for the Ottoman slave trade as well as the general Arabic market in North Africa and the Middle East.[2]

While such raids had occurred since soon after the Muslim conquest of the region, the terms "Barbary pirates" and "Barbary corsairs" are normally applied to the raiders active from the 16th century onwards, when the frequency and range of the slavers' attacks increased. In that period Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli came under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire, either as directly administered provinces or as autonomous dependencies known as the Barbary States. Similar raids were undertaken from Salé and other ports in Morocco.

Corsairs captured thousands of ships and repeatedly raided coastal towns. As a result, residents abandoned their former villages of long stretches of coast in Spain and Italy. The raids were such a problem that coastal settlements were seldom undertaken until the 19th century. From the 16th to 19th century, corsairs captured an estimated 800,000 to 1.25 million people as slaves.[2] Some corsairs were European outcasts and converts such as John Ward and Zymen Danseker.[3] Hayreddin Barbarossa and Oruç Reis, the Barbarossa brothers, who took control of Algiers on behalf of the Ottomans in the early 16th century, were also notorious corsairs. The European pirates brought advanced sailing and shipbuilding techniques to the Barbary Coast around 1600, which enabled the corsairs to extend their activities into the Atlantic Ocean.[3] The effects of the Barbary raids peaked in the early to mid-17th century.

The scope of corsair activity began to diminish in the latter part of the 17th century, as the more powerful European navies started to compel the Barbary States to make peace and cease attacking their shipping. However, the ships and coasts of Christian states without such effective protection continued to suffer until the early 19th century. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna in 1814–15, European powers agreed upon the need to suppress the Barbary corsairs entirely and the threat was largely subdued. Occasional incidents occurred, including two short Barbary wars between the United States of America and the Barbary States, until finally terminated by the French conquest of Algiers in 1830.

The Young U.S. Navy Battled North African Pirates

The Barbary pirates, who had been marauding off the coast of Africa for centuries, encountered a new enemy in the early 19th century: the young United States Navy.

The North African pirates had been a menace for so long that by the late 1700s most nations paid tribute to ensure that merchant shipping could proceed without being violently attacked.

In the early years of the 19th century, the United States, at the direction of President Thomas Jefferson, decided to halt the payment of tribute. A war between the small and scrappy American Navy and the Barbary pirates ensued.

A decade later, a second war settled the issue of American ships being attacked by pirates. The issue of piracy off the African coast seem to fade into the pages of history for two centuries until resurfacing in recent years when Somali pirates clashed with the U.S. Navy.
