SENATOR TED CRUZ SEEKS TO REMOVE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD’S VEIL
Imagine the existence of a group involved in covertly formulating a plan on how to subvert the U.S. Constitution, distributing that plan among its leadership and agents within the U.S., quietly supporting terrorism to further this agenda, declaring war against America, and brazenly recognizing U.S. indifference by boasting about its terrorist activities.
A rational mind would conclude this group be identified as a domestic threat with every effort made to minimize its influence. Yet President Obama has not only embraced the group, but welcomed its leaders to the White House.
In numerous other countries—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE, Bahrain and Russia—this group, known as the Muslim Brotherhood, has been banned due to its well-known destructive intentions and terrorist acts. The Obama administration has yet to do the same.
Legislation to pull back the Muslim Brotherhood’s veil, exposing its telltale terrorist heart, has been introduced—again. On November 3, legislation was filed to have the Muslim Brotherhood designated a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO)—introduced by Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
in the Senate and Representative Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL)32%
in the House.
A similar bill introduced in July 2014 fizzled. The question now is whether Congress will push this bill through, forcing Obama’s Brotherhood enabler—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry—to strip the group of its veil.
Any group founded on the belief—as was the Brotherhood in 1928—that,‘‘Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Qur’an is our law; jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope” is transparently advertising its Islamist ideology. It has made clear the focus of this intent is global, seeking to “conquer… every obstinate tyrant” to ensure the world submits to Islam.
Sen. Cruz’s bill, known as the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015, explains the group’s evil intentions and terrorist activities.
It notes that training undertaken by the “Society of the Muslim Brothers” is renowned for “its distinctive qualities… because militancy and martyrdom had been elevated to central virtues in the Society’s ethos.”
It traces the Brotherhood’s violent early history, including establishment of a “secret (terrorist) apparatus” to do its bidding. While renouncing violence in the 1970s only to avoid persecution by the Egyptian government, it has learned to use proxy groups for this purpose that it helps to fund. Several of these proxy groups have received FTO designations by the U.S. or have resulted in individual Brotherhood leaders being identified as “Designated Terrorists,” according to Sen. Cruz’s bill.
The bill details how Brotherhood proxies still operate today to fund terrorist activities through the establishment of various front companies, some bearing the label of “unindicted co-conspirators” as a result of the largest terrorism-financing trial in U.S. history—the 2008 Holy Land Foundation prosecution.
The bill documents how the Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide, Mohamed Badie, in September 2010 issued a call—much like Osama bin Laden’s in 1996—for war against the U.S., fighting it with a “jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies (Israel and the U.S.) pursue life.”
