The Obama administration approved one and a half billion dollars in military and economic aid for Egypt this despite -- failure to meet pro democracy guidelines.
And even though the Muslim Brotherhood is gaining more now.
Doctor -- Jackson from the American Islamic forum for democracy live with us now from Phoenix.
Now a lot of Americans say walk on books are we giving one and a half billion dollars to the Egyptian military.
When that nowhere close to being a democracy why is our money going over that in the past you said we should be sending this money.
Are you sticking to your opinion.
I'll Stuart you know I'm I'm many Americans should rightfully be saying why are -- sending them money.
I've said that we should send money to those that share our ideology that are fighting for liberty the dissidents.
The -- the transformative.
EE Egyptian Muslims and Christians and others that are really part of the ideas that we share -- freedom and separation of mosque or church and state.
But what we're doing is sending money to that same old paradigm in Egypt that -- old military that radicalize that population.
And we're using the same old Cold War mentality that somehow we can buy so we should examine our allies so don't don't know send the money doesn't send them -- -- the Egyptian military dumped.
Not to the government not to that military where we're feeding our enemies there's no way be -- I don't care what they say Stewart there's no way they're gonna be our allies Islam is an as an ideology is anti western.
Anti freedom anti secular and these -- actually the Obama administration care to actually do its homework and have a doctor -- Would realize they're far to the right of anything we have in the west.
But yet they're feeding them because it feeds the collective this socialist mentality and they really have no litmus test about who our allies should be the.
News this morning is that some groups have dropped -- of the constitution writing committee in Egypt.
On the grounds of the Muslim Brotherhood is running the whole show a won't give -- an -- What do you make of that.
-- that -- what's happening and that's why these guys talk about democracy in the use elections no different than the Iranian mullahs.
Used it to get into power and it's a one way street a one time vote one time for the islamists and that's it and the secularist the liberals.
The Christians the minorities the women are all starting to separate from this because -- -- life.
That's -- what democracy is -- a liberal values it's about control it's -- theocracy and autocracy.
And using them the voting Booth to gain power we can't feed that animal that has continued to be against us in the Middle East.
And we have not been able to buy security in the last 4050 years maybe there's been no war and maybe there's been this Paper of -- peace treaty with Israel but at the end of the day.
We are -- -- feed even more instability until we start to help the reformers.
And this administration does not have a doctrine and it's time pressed the call them on that you know -- do -- they put this money into play.
Bypassing our own democratic principles bypassing the congress and not letting us have a conversation.
-- why this should not have.
And doctors -- -- it says don't give this group this money this time doctor thanks very much indeed for joining us always a pleasure so thank you think it.
