New: Must Watch Exposé of the Muslim Brotherhood with Key Organization Leaders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Filmmaker Ami Horowitz has just released a brilliantly done 15-minute video, exposing leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in their own words as they continue their mission started in the 1920s of creating a global Islamic caliphate throughout the entire world. Their target, according to key Muslim Brotherhood leaders as well as experts interviewed by Horowitz, is a complete takedown of the United States of America.

The Muslim Brotherhood began in Egypt “as a religious and social organization. It as over the years metastasized to become the largest global Islamic organization in the world with branches in dozens of countries,” Horowitz explains.

“It has representatives in various governments and leadership in social and charitable organizations around the world. Its stated goals are to spread Islam and the word of the Quran throughout the world with the ultimate objective being the creation of a global Caliphate,” the American filmmaker notes.

Thus, Horowitz traveled to “Cairo, Beirut, Istanbul, and elsewhere to meet with Brotherhood leaders and to get a better sense of their plans and goals.”

“The Muslim Brotherhood has aggressively tried to expand their global influence by sending an unknown amount of proxies into countries around the world,” Horowitz explains. Many of these “proxies” operate based on a key memo written by Muslim Brotherhood leader, Dr. Mohammad Akram Nadwi.

Trump Is Right About the Muslim Brotherhood

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump reportedly intends to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization.

On its face, the move is inarguable. The Brotherhood is the religious foundation of Islamic terrorist groups al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas. It not only serves as their religious and ideological wellspring, but also cooperates with them on multiple levels, including financing their operations, whichamount to material support for terrorism on a massive scale. . .

Had the U.S. wished to separate the IRGC’s terror operations from the rest of its activities, it would have been impossible. Terrorism, in the name of protecting and extending the Islamic revolution in Iran throughout the world, is the purpose of the IRGC. All of its other activities are directed towards enabling it to achieve its purpose.

The same is the case with the Muslim Brotherhood. Just as the IRGC created Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and countless Shiite militia in Iraq and Syria, Afghanistan, Bahrain and Yemen; so the Muslim Brotherhood has spawned Sunni jihadist terror groups from Hamas and Al Qaeda to Jaish el-Islam. Not only has the Muslim Brotherhood spawned terror offshoots, it engages directly in terrorism. And just as the IRGC operates on multiple non-military outlets to facilitate its terrorist activities, so the Muslim Brotherhood is a multi-dimensional organization, all of whose activities are geared towards achieving the aim of violent global jihad.

In 2015, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) submitted identical bills to the Senate and House of Representatives enjoining the Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization. Both bills were resubmitted in 2017. In them, the lawmakers set out the case for the designation. The bills included in-depth background on the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood; its ideology of global domination; its operations in the United States; and its ties to terror groups that it has spawned, including al Qaeda and Hamas.

Classifying the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization Is the Ultimate No-Brainer

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reports are emerging that the Trump administration is once again considering designating the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as an officially classified terrorist organization. This ultimate no-brainer move will serve to empower policymakers and government officials to crack down on the double-dealing Islamist extremist organization, which seeks to undermine the United States and our allies abroad.

The New York Times reports:

The White House is pushing to issue an order that would designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization, bringing the weight of American sanctions against a storied and influential Islamist political movement with millions of members across the Middle East, according to officials familiar with the matter.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by an Egyptian preacher named Hassan al-Banna, who is a revered, almost holy figure in the fundamentalist Islamic community.

Al-Banna said of his group’s founding ideology: “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” The MB leader, who later became a staunch admirer of Adolf Hitler, called on his followers to constantly “prepare for jihad” and be “lovers of death.”

The Muslim Brotherhood originally sought to seize control of Egypt before pursuing a worldwide expansion. Since the day of the organization’s founding right up to modern day, its leaders have consistently endorsed violent action as a means to achieve its ends. However, unlike groups such as ISIS or al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, while sharing those groups’ ideology, has preferred to take a long-term strategic course, instead of pursuing immediate violent action, to achieve its endgame.

Terrorism experts often describe the Muslim Brotherhood as a gateway to violence and further extremism, as proven by its rogues’ gallery of terrorist alumni, which includes Osama bin Laden, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and current al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, to name a few.

Today, the Muslim Brotherhood and its devotees find sanctuary in many nations, but its most prominent backers are the nations of Qatar and Turkey, which not only provide safe havens for the group’s top leaders, but also remain devotees to the group’s global Islamist agenda. Qatar is home to the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who has publicly endorsed suicide bombings against American soldiers deployed abroad.

If the Muslim Brotherhood is classified as a terrorist group in the U.S., it remains unclear what would become of its offshoots in the United States, such as the terror-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), among others. A terrorist designation could also provide legal hurdles for new Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who have consistently advocated for those groups and even keynoted several fundraisers for the MB-tied outfits.

Since the early days of the Trump administration, conservatives and a widespread coalition of national security experts have been advocating for the White House to pursue the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist designation. Previous efforts to push the terrorist designation regularly hit a standstill, as it seemingly did not have the support of key cabinet members. However, both national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have been major advocates for a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist designation. Bolton has voiced his support publicly for the measure, while Pompeo cosponsored a bill supporting the designation while he was in Congress.

The Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots have been classified as a terrorist organization in several nations, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Russia, and elsewhere. The United States currently classifies the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot, as a foreign terrorist organization.

Ilhan Omar Pushes for Release of Jailed Muslim Brotherhood Leader

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Ilhan Omar — whose short tenure in Congress thus far has been rife with controversy — made a shocking appeal Tuesday, openly pushing for the release of a senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB).

Omar took to Twitter Tuesday evening demanding that “Trump” call for the release of Hoda Abdelmonem, a senior member in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s women’s affiliate.

I quickly confirmed that this was the same Abdelmonem who has for years been a member of the MB, which advocates for Islamist takeover of Egypt.

Abdelmonem remains an influential figure and a senior leader in the Islamist outfit, and the campaign for her release has been a top priority item for Muslim Brotherhood-aligned individuals, groups, and governments. Muslim Brotherhood-tied media networks such as Middle East Eye, Middle East Monitor, and Al Jazeera have dedicated nonstop coverage to this issue, often falsely portraying the Islamist activist as a human rights advocate. Muslim Brotherhood-tied campaigners in the U.S. have continued a full-court press for Abdelmonem’s release.

Additionally, these same entities all remain fiercely opposed to the rule of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who in 2013 ousted Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated former president in Cairo. So convincing the president to call for the release of their Islamist ally would arguably chip away at el-Sisi’s legitimacy.

After posting a photo of her meeting with pro-Muslim Brotherhood campaigners, Omar then doubled down on her push, retweeting this post linking to an Al Jazeera video that calls for Abdelmonem’s release:

Al Jazeera is the state-controlled, Islamistpromoting media network of the Qatari government, which uses slave labor and funds terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East. Al Jazeera regularly promotes Muslim Brotherhood leaders and groups, which seek to overthrow stable U.S. allies and install Islamist theocracies in their stead.

Since entering Congress, Rep. Omar has continued to show a preference for antagonistic U.S. adversaries and throwback Islamist leaders and groups, as opposed to U.S.-friendly Middle East nations and peaceful reform movements worldwide. She has become a regular on the CAIR speaking circuit. The terror-tied Islamist group raised mountains of cash for her congressional campaign.

The Muslim Brotherhood is classified as a terrorist organization in several nations, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Russia, Egypt, and Bahrain. The group has spawned the likes of deceased Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. Republicans in Congress continue to push legislation and directly appeal to President Trump to classify the MB as a foreign terrorist organization, given its tendency for violence and the group’s extremist, anti-American philosophy.

Judge Strikes ‘Scandalous’ Reference to Group’s Terror Ties

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI has provided an abundance of evidence that the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood and its Palestinian branch, Hamas.

And even a Persian Gulf state, the United Arab Emirates, has designated the Washington, D.C.-based organization a terrorist group, putting it in the same category as al-Qaida and ISIS.

But when parents suing the San Diego Unified School District for its alliance with CAIR in an anti-bullying and “anti-Islamophobia” program inserted a reference to CAIR’s terrorist ties in their complaint, a federal judge objected.

San Diego school officials complained that the citation of CAIR’s formation by Hamas operatives in the United States as a propaganda organ and the fact that more than a dozen former CAIR figures have been charged with terrorism-related crimes is “impertinent, immaterial and scandalous,” designed only to “inflame the public,” reported the Investigative Project on Terrorism, IPT.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant agreed, striking references to CAIR’s radical ties because they are “likely intended to ‘besmirch’ Defendants and cast them in a derogatory light based on SDUSD’s relationship with CAIR.” (Read more from “Judge Strikes ‘Scandalous’ Reference to Group’s Terror Ties” HERE)

Egypt Document Reveals Muslim Brotherhood Links

/0 Comments/in , /by

Egypt has handed to the United Kingdom a new document that proves the Muslim Brotherhood’s implication in the terrorist attacks that took place in London.

Britain is anticipated to reach a firm decision in regards to designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group in the first half of 2018, a high-ranking source revealed exclusively to Egypt Today on Sunday.

The source stated that this document disclosed that the Muslim Brotherhood has exploited charitable organizations in London to send money to Egyptian groups in Syria and these groups came back from Syria to Sinai to purchase weapons and carry out terrorist operations against the Egyptian armed forces there.

The document included a new revelation that the Brotherhood had plans to launch attacks targeting foreign embassies in Egypt including the British Embassy.

According to the document, the Brotherhood has submitted a number of requests to establish charitable organizations in London but these requests were recently rejected after finding out that supporting terrorism is the Brotherhood’s true aim, and is why they demand to open charities and fundraising organizations. Further requests were then turned down until their real activities in Britain are examined. (Read more from “Egypt Document Reveals Muslim Brotherhood Links” HERE)

Frank Gaffney Applauds Trump Administration for Moving Towards Terrorist Designation for Muslim Brotherhood

/0 Comments/in , /by

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney said it was an “incredibly important step” for the Trump administration to consider formally designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

“I hope he’ll do it, and I hope he’ll do it soon,” Gaffney said. “The reason simply being that the Muslim Brotherhood, in many ways, is the leading edge of the global jihad movement worldwide. It’s gotten a pass, in particular in American administrations of both Republican and Democratic stripes since 9/11, I’m sorry to say, by virtue of the fact that they putatively eschewed violence as a means of accomplishing the end-state they seek – which is the imposition of this barbaric totalitarian ideology or doctrine or program. Call it what you will; they call it sharia.”

Gaffney added that the Brotherhood seeks to impose sharia law “worldwide, not just on Muslims, but non-Muslims alike.”

“The truth of the matter is that they do not eschew violence,” he contended. “They use it where they believe they can effectively. One prime example, of course, is their Palestinian franchise known as Hamas. But the idea that we’re going to somehow get along with – let alone do what the Obama administration did in particular: empower, legitimate, fund, even arm the Muslim Brotherhood, in the case of its time and power in Egypt – is simply madness.”

“I’m very heartened that the president has seemingly taken stock of this outfit, recognizes that they are a sharia supremacist program that, in fact, has provided sort of the ideological impetus behind all of the other jihadist enterprises around the world, even of the Shiite stripe. They’ve been motivators and inspiration, and in some cases actually contributed materially to them. So the same objectives of al-Qaeda, of the Islamic State, of Boko Haram, and so on, are being practiced and espoused and sought by the Muslim Brotherhood. They’ll just use stealth and subversion, including in countries like ours, where they don’t feel they’re strong enough to use violence. They should be designated as a terrorist organization for all those reasons, and I hope will be,” he said.

House GOP to Promote Muslim Brotherhood, Gun Control Agenda This Week

/0 Comments/in , /by

In case you thought congressional Republicans would be infused with a fresh sense of constitutionalism, patriotism, and moral clarity on the heels of this Independence Day weekend, think again. House Republicans will continue their dyslexic response to Orlando by validating the Left’s entire premise regarding homeland security and guns.

Last week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas (A, 97%) conducted a hearing which revealed that the Department of Homeland Security, at the behest of Muslim Brotherhood organizations, is deleting critical counter-terrorism research that would have connected many Muslim Brotherhood leaders to global Islamic terror networks and could have prevented some of the recent attacks. When Cruz asked Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security, about this at a subsequent hearing, the lead homeland security officer vehemently denied having any knowledge of the cover-up and adamantly declined to investigate it.

A sane Republican Party would immediately pursue this issue, and the failure to do so belies our failed homeland security policy. Instead, Republicans plan to pass an “anti-terror package,” which actually validates the very Muslim Brotherhood agenda endangering our homeland. The House will vote on H.R. 5611, which would grow the fledgling department even more by creating the Office for Partnerships to Prevent Terrorism to engage the Muslim community in pursuit of counter-terrorism strategies. This bill mirrors Rep. Michael McCaul’s R, Texas (D, 60%) “Countering Violent Extremism” bill which passed the House Committee on Homeland Security last year and appoints a new assistant secretary that will be unaccountable to Congress. The bill tasks the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties office of DHS, which serves as ground zero for Muslim Brotherhood influence on this administration, with dispensing the grant funds. The legislation also uses inaccurate liberal talking points with regards to the nature of the Islamic threat and lone wolf attacks.

After taking incoming fire from conservatives for echoing and legitimizing the Muslim Brotherhood agenda, this new bill scrubs all references to “violent” extremism and indeed uses the term Islamic extremism. This is a complete dog and pony show. The problem with the existing policies of DHS are not limited to the nomenclature. House leaders could use the term “Islamic” to appease conservatives, but, absent a wholesale makeover of the department’s personnel and a complete ban on Muslim Brotherhood participation, the new funds and offices will be used to expand the existing dangerous policies. It’s akin to throwing more money and resources at a fire department that has already been infiltrated by arsonists.

If Republicans were serious about fixing the problem, they would bar any grant funds from going to groups implicated in the Holy Land Foundation trial. They could mandate reforms to the counter-terrorism training for federal law enforcement officers in light of Phil Haney’s expose showing how the DHS and FBI scrubbed all fact-based training in Islamic history and Islamic law for the purpose of formulating threat assessments.

Immediately following the Orlando attack, I listed eight ways Republicans can go on offense. Sadly, they’ve chosen to go on offense for Democrats. In addition to expanding DHS offices that Obama will stock with Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers, the bill contains a provision expanding the power of the Attorney General to deny gun purchases to those listed on random terror watch lists. Although this provision is not nearly as sweeping as the Democratic proposal, the entire premise of focusing on this non-sequitur is offensive. It’s preposterous to focus on lists that never net potential terrorists while there are known individuals or groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood who are given security clearances in our homeland security agencies. Also, the minute Republicans pass this bill, the Obama administration could expand the watch list to include anyone, perhaps even political enemies.

The sad irony is that the Senate will actually focus on something worthy this week – going after sanctuary cities and instituting mandatory minimum sentences for illegal aliens who re-enter the country after being deported. The latter bill is Ted Cruz’s “Kate’s Law,” addressing the many criminal aliens that continue to re-enter the country, including the one who killed Kate Steinle in San Francisco last year. Wouldn’t it be prudent to have both houses of Congress focus on the same messaging this week and put the Democrats on defense? Instead, House Republicans will allow Democrats to continue distracting the public with their gun control agenda. Alas, after the Senate undermined conservatives for the past two weeks, it must be too much to ask that both chambers actually stay on message for one week.

GOP Leaders Stall Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Act

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eighty members of Congress, including two Democrats, now support the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, with one more congressman and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee signing up since the last update. There’s only one problem: The Republican leadership is stalling it, even though the House version passed the Judiciary Committee.

The two new cosponsors are Senator David Perdue (R-GA) and Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA). The former is especially significant because he is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where it is held up. A list of cosponsors and opponents is available at the bottom of this article.

Terrorism expert Patrick Poole writes that the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker (R-TN), has not even held hearings on the bill, much less arranged for it to be voted on. Corker is reportedly being vetted as a potential running mate for Donald Trump.

The story is even more discouraging in the House, where support for the bill was proven when it passed the Judiciary Committee. Yet, Speaker Paul Ryan and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy have not given any public indication that he’ll have the House vote on it.

MISSING LINK Between Republican Party and Muslim Brotherhood Found

/10 Comments/in , /by

Something… or someone… has kept the Republican Party establishment neutered on the issues of fighting Islamic infiltration and/or pushing back against the Barack Obama administration. There is one Muslim man who is connected to both Bush presidencies and at least two highly suspect Obama colleagues the John McCain campaign refused to go after in 2008. He provides the key to understanding why the Republican establishment protects the Muslim Brotherhood in America.

His name is Talat Othman and the two men he is connected to – besides George H.W. and George W. Bush – are Rashid Khalidi and Tony Rezko. Othman received an award from Khalidi’s boss, Yasser Arafat in 1997 for Othman’s contributions and support for the Palestinians. Othman is also credited with founding the Islamic Cultural Center of Chicago.

In early 2015, the Center for Security Policy published an exhaustive dossier of more than 100 pages that detailed Americans for Tax Reform Founder, Grover Norquist’s embrace of Muslim Brotherhood-connected individuals and the subsequent influence these individuals gained inside America’s power centers, at great peril to national security. Conspicuously absent from the CSP dossier is even one mention of Othman.

In Chicago, Muslim American Othman served as Treasurer of the American Task Force on Palestine with former PLO member and Barack Obama friend Rashid Khalidi, who was the ATFP’s Vice President. Othman is also credited with introducing convicted Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko to Illinois state politics. Othman’s career involves a stint as chairman of the terrorist-tied Islamic Free Market Institute (Islamic Institute) founded by Grover Norquist. For approximately three years in the late 1980’s and 1990, Othman sat on the Board of Harken Energy with George W. Bush and began consulting with then President George H.W. Bush in the Oval Office on the issue of Iraq and larger Middle East policy beginning in August of 1990.

According to the opening paragraphs of a 1991 Wall Street Journal article:

Two years ago (1989), Talat Othman didn’t have the president’s ear. But since August 1990, the Palestinian-born Chicago investor has attended three White House meetings with President Bush to discuss Middle East policy.
