an article in the egyptian press claims that obama is a member of the muslim brotherhood, having joined as a youth in indonesia. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/03/egyptian-newspapers-explosive-allegation-president-obama-is-a-secret-muslim-brotherhood-member/ .
the post at "the blaze" also explains the newspaper article asserts that obama's half brother, malik, is also an al queda operative.
the "commentary" in "the blaze" post simply attempts to explain all of this away, by noting the egyptian press as being angry at obama, and publishing this to defame him, as it were. there is no discussion as to whether the newspaper article contains factual assertions lending any of this plausible.
it would be nice, in such matters, were the publishers of such stories to publish the article fully in english, and then let us follow the story were it goes, instead of telling us what it means. i can find no link to the original article, but, there is a picture of the article as it appears in the egyptian paper "al wafd", crediting the image source to the middle east monitor.
update: link to al wafd, http://www.alwafd.org/ good luck. i am a stranger in a strange land, and cannot make head nor tails of the whole thing. end update.
anyone read arabic? the full story is not pictured.
my attempts to go to the "middle east monitor" via a link at the blaze were blocked by my computer.
