An Explanatory Memorandum" from the Archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in America:
Allah is greater
What is
The Muslim Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood is a global jihadist organization that consists of a worldwide network of civil-society organizations, political parties, mosques, terror groups, and independent terrorist contractors (Lone Wolves). Their mission in America is to undermine and replace our Western civilization. According to the “Explanatory Memorandum” from the archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, they are committed to reaching their goals through a six step program.
Who is
The Muslim Brotherhood
The Society of the Muslim Brothers, also known as the Muslim Brotherhood, was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna. Al-Banna who believed the Quran and Sunnah constituted the perfect way of life and that all Islamic governments should eventually unite in a Caliphate ruled by Sharia law. The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history of violence with connections to terror leaders around the world, such as the Blind Sheik from Jersey City, NJ who was responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

The 6 steps to success
For the Muslim Brotherhood in America, the destruction of Western civilization comes through 6 steps. Click here to watch the video.
1 | Settlement
The Start of Islamism
The process of settlement begins when members of the Muslim Brotherhood establish themselves in Western societies and begin undermining and changing these societies from within.
2 | Establishment
Founding of Islam
Once settled, the Muslim Brotherhood member establishes himself and his family in society, thereby increasing the Muslim presence in the community. They build mosques (often with foreign funding), establish Muslim Brotherhood groups, such as CAIR, and start advocating for some implementation of Sharia Law in their communities.
3 | Stability
Joining Forces
After an Islamic community has been radicalized, Muslim Brotherhood members begin absorbing other Muslims belonging to neighboring mosques, thereby, increasing their reach and expanding their influence.
4 | Enablement
Growing Islam
As a unified force with newly radicalized members, the Muslim Brotherhood begins radicalizing and influencing non-Muslims through organizations disguised as Muslim support groups, such as CAIR and ISNA. In this step, through these organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood serves as a bridge from young Islamist to violent extremist.
5 | Rooting
Normalization of Islam
Radical Muslims are now the majority in communities across the country. Schools, government, and community efforts are directly overseen and influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. Sharia Law is the law of their domains.
6 | Support
Globalization of Islam
The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to sabotage and destroy Western civilization in order to establish a global Islamic caliphate governed by Sharia Law. This is the same goal as ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other radical Islamic groups.
The Muslim Brotherhood is currently on step 5 out of 6. It’s vital we take action immediately to stop them! It’s time for our leaders to designate this radical Islamic group as a terrorist organization.

Holy Land Foundation
As a multi-faceted and chapter-based organization, the Muslim Brotherhood has no official designation in the U.S.
But, through the years, they have established affiliated organizations that have established organizations which are pursuing Muslim Brotherhood ideological objectives and are engaged in the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of taking over of America.
The most significant revelation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for America happened in 2001 when the U.S. government designated the Holy Land Foundation–an Islamic charity in Texas–as a terrorist organization and seized its assets. Over the subsequent years, the federal prosecution revealed internal documents approved by the highest council of the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood that called for a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from with.” In 2004, a federal grand jury found that the Holy Land Foundation and five officers were guilty of funnelling over $12,000,000 to the terrorist organization Hamas; a terrorist organization founded by the Muslim Brotherhood known for committing war crimes against Israelis, Americans, and Europeans.
The primary document in the case, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” revealed a comprehensive and sweeping plan to take over America through aligned local groups, legislation on the state level, and global support. Their ultimate goal is not just an Islamic state in America, but ultimately a global Islamic state with a Caliph.
Although the legal case was prosecuted, went to trial, and the defendants were sentenced to prison, the Muslim Brotherhood’s American affiliates continue to run much deeper through levels of government. Sweeping legislation to enact parts of Sharia Law, under the fictitious banner of inclusion, has been rampant in the United States since then. The Muslim Brotherhood wants a national adoption of Sharia Law and, up until the most recent election, they were ignored by the Federal Government.
Obama & Egypt
Jumping forward to the climax of the Arab Spring in 2012, the Obama administration made the unilateral decision to reverse almost a decade of investigation and isolation of the Muslim Brotherhood by sending an official state delegation to meet with Egyptian President Morsi.
By choosing to support, rather than isolate, the Muslim Brotherhood, President Obama gave legitimacy to the organization and their goal of a global Islamic state. The Obama Administration’s actions gave credence to the deceptive claim that the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderating force within radical Islam. When, in fact, the organization and its members are radical Islamists.
After the fall of Egyptian President Morsi and subsequent global reprimand of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Obama Administration decided to take a more localized approach to normalizing the Muslim Brotherhood. They began to integrate Brothers within all aspects of the government. The most frightening and troubling aspect came when officials from Homeland Security held recurring and routine meetings with top American leaders aligned with the Brotherhood in order to “learn” about radical Islamic forces and their goals. The Muslim Brotherhood was as radical as the radicals they were asked to engage with.
Obama, CAIR, & ISNA
The cooperation between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood grew with the embrace of two nationwide Islamic organizations: the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
Both of these organization are still fully functioning bodies today and are creations of the Muslim Brotherhood. The crowning moments of this relationship came in 2013 and 2015 when, first, President Obama again stepped into the public spotlight and had a very public meeting with ISNA President Imam Mohamed Magid and 10 religious leaders about “immigration reform” and then again on a trip to the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Israel. In 2015, he actually spoke at the opening of their annual conference.
In a public case of deja vu: the Islamic Society of North America, publically embraced by President Obama, is under active investigation for allegedly funding terrorism in the Middle East and its ties to the extremist Islamic forces, much like the Holy Land Foundation.
While the U.S. Allies of the Muslim Brotherhood do not carry out terrorism directly–it is clear that they support a global caliphate, both through their own words in uncovered internal documents and financial support of terrorist groups in the Middle East. And their ideology is at one with the most radical terrorists.
Victims – Christians
Most Recent Attack – 12/29/17
At least 9 people are dead after a gunman opened fire at a Coptic Christian church near Cairo, Egypt.
At its core, the Muslim Brotherhood believes in the systematic persecution and destruction of all other religious ideologies. This leads them to bully, torture, and murder those that don’t align with their belief.
Around the globe, the Brothers systematically dismantle institutes of minorities and religious groups. In the US, that role is carried out by enacting local legislation for Sharia Law under the guise of inclusion. In the Middle East, that is played out by stoning and killing women who choose not to wear hijabs. The locals, aligned and supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, are torturing and killing Christians and those of all faiths.
The persecution of Christians occurred in Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood took power for a brief period in 2011. Their past has always included the hate-filled burning of churches–sometimes with believers inside–and an astonishing 100 crimes per year committed against Christians in Egypt. But in 2016 the focus of the Muslim Brotherhood took on new strength starting a string of new attacks, the first being when a local Christian woman was publicly stripped by a mob [1], after believing a false rumor started by an angry husband about the Christian woman’s son. The events continued in the following months with a Christian man stabbed to death by a mob, a minister shot by a masked Islamic state-affiliated gunman [2], and more churches being burnt down.
Their detailed persecution can be summarized in the touching story of 7 year-old Viola Samir whose Islamic teacher beat any student who did not memorize the Quran. Viola decided to stand up to her teacher and received severe punishment as a result.
Victims – Terrorism
The Muslim Brotherhood’s network of like-minded organizations has no limits on the persecution and terrorism they support around the globe. Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization known for committing war crimes against Israelis, Americans, and Europeans, has called the Muslim Brotherhood a spiritual guide. [3] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, is a former Muslim Brotherhood member who joined at the urging of his Uncle and was mentored by a former member. [4] Abd al-Majeed al-Zindani, a U.S. and U.N. designated recruiter for al-Qaeda and mentor for Osama bin Laden co-founded his local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen. [5] Perhaps more shocking, is the fact that the founder and the man responsible for the largest terrorist attack on United States soil killing thousands of people is a former member: Osama bin Laden [6].
The Blind Sheikh
9/11 was caused by the Blind Sheikh and Al Qaeda — the founders of which started in the Muslim Brotherhood
The Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, lived in New Jersey, was tried, convicted, and served life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and conspiracy to bomb multiple New York landmarks.
Despite being jailed in the 1970s for close ties to extremists, he emerged that decade as the new leader of Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya (“The Islamic Group”), a designated terrorist group by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Egypt. In this time he issued his first of many fatwas–the highest legal declaration in the Islamic faith–that resulted in the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.
As he continued his warped “spiritual” role in the United States, he spent years traveling and recruiting people to his cause–calling Americans “descendants of apes and pigs who have been feeding from the dining tables of the Zionists, Communists, and colonialists.” The ramifications of this time are seen in his supporters carrying out the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, the 1980 assassination of Israeli Rabbi Meir Kahane, and over 1,100 attacks in Egypt in 1993 alone. The true consequences of his sermons during this time might be unknown for several years to come.
During a career of Anti-American speeches, he encouraged Islamic soldiers to carry out terrorist attacks, and he single-handedly made disturbing progress towards achieving a global Islamic state. One thing is for sure: The Blind Sheikh has mentored, identified with, and been supported by the highest ranking members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Support for the Blind Sheikh
When Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood briefly took power in Egypt they made it their mission to free The Blind Sheikh from prison in the United States.
In 1997, after massacring 58 European tourists, some of whom were women and children, in Luxor, the attackers mutilated their bodies and littered the scene with pamphlets demanding his release.
After his death in 2017, supposedly-moderate Muslim Brotherhood members around the world mourned his death with calls for violence against the United States. Immediately following his passing, al-Qaeda called for “the most powerful and violent revenge” and to “slay” Americans in the name of the Blind Sheikh. The Muslim Brotherhood’s official website and Facebook page also included messages of his passing, saying: “God Almighty to bestow His Mercy, and ensconce him in the highest paradise of Heaven with the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, the righteous and the best of them as companions.”
American supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood mourned his passing by calling for vengeance. A New York Muslim Brotherhood supporter posted on Facebook: “The passing of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman in the prisons of America after 24 years of incarceration. Oh God take vengeance on those who wronged him.”
Ideological Alliances
The Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, and al Qaeda may differ in short term goals; but, all three radical Islamic groups believe and strive for the same, long term goal – a global Islamic caliphate.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the progenitor of the modern Islamic movement whose belief system fuels radical groups like ISIS and al Qaeda. They serve as a bridge between young Islamists and violent extremists. Through organizations like CAIR and ISNA, the Muslim Brotherhood guides young Islamists through the journey to becoming violent Jihadists. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Ayman al-Zawahiri, individuals who have held the highest ranking positions in these extreme groups, began as members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, began his path to extremism through the Muslim Brotherhood while in graduate school at Saddam University for Islamic Studies in Quranic recitation and Quranic studies. During his time in graduate school, Baghdadi studied previous Muslim Brotherhood works from which he adopted his jihadist mindset. From there Baghdadi grew impatient with the Brotherhood’s slow steps to achieving their goal and sought to join a different radical group, al Qaeda. Baghdadi continued his radical mission to achieve one global Islamic caliphate through al Qaeda’s affiliate group in Syria, Nusra Front until 2014, when he split with the group officially forming ISIS. Baghdadi differed with the Muslim Brotherhood over tactics not objectives.
Ayman al-Zawahiri cofounded al Qaeda with Osama bin Laden. His path to extremism through the Muslim Brotherhood began as a teenager when he joined the group in Egypt. During his time in Egypt he helped plan and execute attacks through the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ). In 1987, Zawahiri and bin Laden met in Pakistan and later established al Qaeda in 1988. Al Qaeda carried out the horrible September 11th attacks in the U.S. Zawahiri has led the group since bin Laden’s death in 2011.
In February of 2014, Zawahiri severed al Qaeda’s ties with ISIS and later that year Baghdadi announced the split between al Qaeda, officially establishing ISIS and himself as the caliph.
While these groups differ and in many cases rival each other to achieve short term goals, there are two key aspects that connect and unite them – their long term goal of establishing one global Islamic caliphate and their Muslim Brotherhood roots.
History
Since its founding in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has influenced Islamist movements worldwide.
The Society of the Muslim Brothers, also known as the Muslim Brotherhood, was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna. Al-Banna believed the Quran and Sunnah constituted the perfect way of life and that all Islamic governments should eventually unite in a Caliphate under Sharia law.
Since its founding in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has influenced Islamist movements worldwide. The Brotherhood’s theology also inspires terrorists, including al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been funded by Muslim Brotherhood members.
The Muslim Brotherhood is designated as a terrorist organization in Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates.
Key Players
Since its founding in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has influenced Islamist movements worldwide.
Hassan al-Banna
Hassan al-Banna was an Egyptian schoolteacher who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 and led the organization until his assassination in 1949. He considered the Quran as the only acceptable political constitution and worked toward the Islamization of all aspects of life.
Sayyid Qutb
Sayyid Qutb’s anti-Western interpretation of Islam, especially in the book Milestones, inspired modern terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS. Qutb joined the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s, serving as the organization’s head of propaganda and on the guidance council until he was executed in 1966 for conspiring to assassinate Egyptian President Nasser.
Mohammed Badie
Mohammed Badie is currently the General Guide of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and thus one of the most influential members in the world. In a 2010 speech, Badie said, “Waging jihad against both of these infidels [the U.S. and Israel] is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.”

TIMELINE
The Muslim Brotherhood is a global jihadist organization that has aims to establish one Islamic caliphate and enforce Islamic Sharia Law everywhere. The Brotherhood has a long history of violence towards non-Muslims and connections to terror groups all over the world.
Scroll down to read through the Muslim Brotherhood’s violent history.
1928
The Muslim Brotherhood is Founded
The Islamic terror organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, was founded in the north-eastern region of Egypt in the city of Ismailia in March of 1928 by Sheikh Hassan Ahmed Abdel Rahman Muhammed al-Banna. Hassan al-Banna formed the group as an Islamist religious, political, and social movement. During the first years of existence, the Muslim Brotherhood played a large role in Egyptian politics, seeking to implement traditional, religious, Islamic Sharia Law into government. The initial members of the Muslim Brotherhood included Hassan al-Banna and six members of the Suez Canal Company.
1931
The Muslim Brotherhood Grows
In 1931, the Muslim Brotherhood completed their first big project — the construction of a mosque in Egypt. Following the success of the completion of this project, the Muslim Brotherhood began to generate press around themselves. They then opened the first branch of the organization in Cairo. A year after opening their Cairo branch, Hassan al-Banna transferred himself to Cairo and established the city as the organization’s headquarters. The Muslim Brotherhood grew very rapidly over the next ten years, going from just three branches to over 300 branches across Egypt by 1938. As the Muslim Brotherhood continued to grow, they started politically inserting themselves in conflicts outside of Egypt, specifically supporting Palestinian Arab nationalism.
1942-1946
The Muslim Brotherhood Forms a Secret Terror Wing
The economy began to drop as World War II ended. This caused frustration, but allowed organizations, like the Muslim Brotherhood, to attract new members very easily. The Brotherhood began to heavily clash with the government. They were a major force behind strikes and nationalist demonstrations. As tensions continued to rise between the government, the Brotherhood decided to join forces with another group clashing with the government — the Wafd Party; but, the alliance between the two disintegrated quickly as the members in the Wafd Party thought the Muslim Brotherhood was just a tool of the government and ruling class. The Brotherhood disputed these accusations by clashing with the government and ruling class even harder, escalating the violence. The government began cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood which, in turn, led the Brotherhood to secretly realign with members of the Wafd Party to form a secret terror wing of the organization and carry out calculated attacks against the government.
1948
The Muslim Brotherhood Assassinates the Egypt’s Prime Minister
Violence across the Middle East grew, specifically with the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. During the war, the Muslim Brotherhood’s secret terror group helped carry out many bomb attacks against Jews in Cairo. These attacks led to the arrest of multiple Brotherhood members, also known as the “Jeep Case”. This case exposed the Brotherhood’s connections to these violent bombings and led the prime minister, Mahmoud Fahmi el-Nokrashi, to order the dissolution of the group. Muslim Brotherhood member, Abdel Meguid Ahmed Hassan, assassinated Prime Minister Nokrashi in retaliation for his order to dissolve the group.
1949
Hassan al-Banna Assassinated
In February 1949 the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader, Hassan al-Banna, was assassinated by political police, which was followed with a wave of arrests of Brotherhood members. By May of 1949, over 4,000 Muslim Brotherhood members had been arrested. The Brotherhood responded with an unsuccessful assassination attempt of the sitting prime minister. In 1950, the Wafd Party returned to power, the Muslim Brotherhood remained outlawed, and competition to replace al-Banna intensified.
1952
Hassan Isma’il al-Hudaybi Replaces al-Banna as Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood
Hassan al-Banna was eventually succeeded by a former judge, Hassan Isma’il al-Hudaybi. The Brotherhood continued promoting violence across Egypt. In 1952 they destroyed over 750 buildings in Cairo, frequented by foreigners, to mark the end of the liberal, progressive, cosmopolitan in Egypt. In 1952, the Brotherhood went on to support the military coup that overthrew the monarchy.
1964
Sayyid Qutb Becomes the Muslim Brotherhood’s Most Influential Thinker
The Muslim Brotherhood continued to clash with the Egyptian government, carrying out many terror plots and assassination attempts against President Gamal ‘Abd al-Nasser. Sayyid Qutb, a writer and member of the Muslim Brotherhood, began to preach about a violent revolution to transform society to Islam since he believed the Muslim society was no longer Islamic. Qutb published Milestones, a book that blamed the Western World’s concept of democracy for the world’s problems and touted Islam as the solution. Although there were discrepancies with how to achieve the solution Qutb spoke about, there was agreeance across Muslim Brotherhood chapters around the world that establishment of one Islamic caliphate was the solution.
1980
The Muslim Brotherhood is Banned from Syria and Declared a Terrorist Organization
Violence stemming from Muslim Brotherhood chapters globally, specifically in Syria, led to other countries beginning to ban the organization. Tensions between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Syrian government continued to grow, specifically in Aleppo and northern cities. Terror attacks were carried out almost daily, and while it was known the Brotherhood was behind them, direct connections were hard to find. Violent resistance became popular and loosely defined armed groups began appearing, especially in poor neighborhoods, which is why it was difficult to directly connect the Brotherhood to the attacks. Finally in 1980, the Syrian government outlawed the Brotherhood, making it a capital offence to be affiliated with the organization. Despite this designation, the Muslim Brotherhood continued to carry out violent attacks across Syria though.
1987
The Muslim Brotherhood Founded Terror Group Hamas
The Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in the Gaza Strip stretches back to the 1950s, but in 1987 they officially founded the terrorist organization, Hamas. Through a network of mosques and charitable and social organizations, the Brotherhood gained influence in the Gaza Strip under the name Hamas. The group continues to terrorize the Gaza Strip, carrying out suicide bombings and attacks against Israel very frequently.
1993
Hamas is Designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization in the United States
In April 1993 the United States officially added Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood front group that terrorizes the Gaza Strip, to the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Hamas is designated a terrorist organization in almost all Western countries including Israel, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
1994
Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda Leader and the Blind Sheikh Convicted for 1993 World Trade Center Bombing
In 1993, a group of terrorists carried out an attack on the World Trade Center in New York, killing six and injuring over 1,000 people. Collaboration between multiple terror groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda, made the attack possible. In 1994, the Blind Sheikh and al-Qaeda’s leader, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, were convicted for their roles in the bombing. The Muslim Brotherhood publicly supports the Blind Sheikh and his connections to terror groups globally. Terror groups around the world and Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt vowed to set him free once he was convicted and sentenced. When he died, the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, and al-Qaeda publicly mourned his death.
2001
The Holy Land Foundation is Designated a Terrorist Organization in the United States
In December 2001, the Holy Land Foundation, a Texas based organization was officially designated a terrorist organization and the government officials seized its assets. Over the next few years, the federal prosecution revealed internal documents approved by the highest council of the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood that called for a “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from with.” In 2004, a federal grand jury found that the Holy Land Foundation and five officers were guilty of funnelling over $12,000,000 to the terrorist organization Hamas; a terrorist organization founded by the Muslim Brotherhood known for committing war crimes against Israelis, Americans, and Europeans. Of all the assets seized, the primary document in the case, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” revealed a comprehensive and sweeping plan to take over America through aligned local groups, legislation on the state level, and global support. The Holy Land Foundation was later found guilty and convicted in 2007.
2003
The Muslim Brotherhood is Banned in Russia
The Muslim Brotherhood’s influence stretches beyond the Middle East through proxy groups. In Russia, the Muslim Brotherhood formed an Islamic group called The Supreme Military Majlis ul-Shura of the United Forces of Caucasian Mujahedeen. This radical Islamic group led by Ibn Al-Khattab and Basaev carried out multiple terror attacks in Russia. In February 2003, Russia officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and this group as a terrorist organization and banned them from the country.
2013
The Muslim Brotherhood is Banned from Running in Presidential and Parliamentary Elections in Egypt
In 2011 the Muslim Brotherhood held political power in Egypt when one of their leaders, Mohamad Morsi, was president. At its core, the Muslim Brotherhood believes in the systematic persecution and destruction of all other religious ideologies. This leads them to bully, torture, and murder those that don’t align with their belief. Persecution of Christians intensified while the Brotherhood held power of Egypt. When Morsi was overthrown in 2013, multiple other Muslim Brotherhood members were taken into custody and the organization as a whole was banned.
2014
The Muslim Brotherhood is Banned in Saudi Arabia and Declared A Terrorist Organization
The Muslim Brotherhood’s relationship with Saudi Arabia began strong; but, their relationship became estranged during the Gulf War and then completely disintegrated when Mohamad Morsi assumed power in Egypt. Saudi Arabia’s ruling family was alarmed by the Arab Spring and didn’t feel the Muslim Brotherhood set a good example in Egypt, specifically around the way the Muslim Brotherhood brought Morsi and an Islamist government to power through popular revolution and elections, as well as violence. In March of 2014, the Saudi Arabian government officially designated the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
2015
The Muslim Brotherhood Publishes Statement for Their Followers to Prepare for Jihad
In January 2015, the Muslim Brotherhood posted on their English and Arabic websites calling for “a long, unrelenting Jihad”. The statement goes on further to explain that those who stray from violence “no longer belong in the Brotherhood, and the group no longer accepts them, no matter what they do or say.”
Today
The Muslim Brotherhood Continues Promoting Violence
To this day the Muslim Brotherhood continues to incite violence and carry out terror attacks around the world. Most recently the Muslim Brotherhood called for violence and threatened attacks against the United States and Israel in response to President Trump’s announcement on Jerusalem.
Their long history of violence, connection to terror groups around the world, and goal to sabotage the West from within to implement one Islamic caliphate and enforce Islamic Sharia Law proves they are a terrorist organization. It’s time to designate them as a radical Islamic terrorist group.
