A
bill introduced this week by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) calls on the U.S.
State Department to declare the Muslim Brotherhood and its American
affiliates like CAIR, a foreign terrorist organization (as 5 other
Muslim countries already have). Advocates for American Muslims suspect a
darker purpose ― to smear and potentially prosecute American Muslim
advocacy groups, a move that could prove disastrous for the civil rights
of Muslims in this country (but would protect Americans from Muslim
groups whose goals are anti-American at their core)
Huffington Post Ted Cruz and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) introduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act in both chambers of Congress on Tuesday. In a press release,
Cruz said that the brotherhood espouses “a violent Islamist ideology
with a mission of destroying the West” and that formally designating
them a terror group would “enable the U.S. to take action that could
stifle the funding they receive to promote their terrorist activities.”
It’s the fifth time members of the
Senate and House, urged on by a network of anti-Muslim groups, have
attempted to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization.
But American foreign policy and counterterrorism experts, while highly critical of the brotherhood’s brand of Islamism, have generally not viewed the
organization as a threat to U.S. national security. They have argued
that a terror designation might needlessly complicate U.S. relations
with Middle Eastern countries where the brotherhood or its offshoots
hold some level of influence.
American Muslim advocates contend that
the real intent of Cruz’s bill has little to do with foreign policy.
Rather, they argue, the legislation would enable the U.S. government to
target domestic Muslim groups that Cruz and others earnestly believe are
part of a massive, covert conspiracy to destroy the U.S. from within.
A 2001 executive order issued by
President George W. Bush gave the State and Treasury departments broad
powers to investigate organizations that the government alleges have
provided material support to, or are “otherwise associated with,” a
designated terror group. Those being investigated can have their funds
frozen and be subject to warrantless searches and asset seizures. The
investigations can drag on for years, effectively shutting down the
organization.
A 2009 American Civil Liberties Union review of
Muslim charities in the crosshairs found that Bush’s executive order
“effectively allows the government to shut down an organization without
notice or hearing and on the basis of classified evidence, and without
any judicial review.”
Now Cruz’s legislation looks like
another step along that road.“The bill is about domestic control of
Muslims,” Corey Saylor, director of the department to monitor and combat
Islamophobia at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told
The Huffington Post. “It has everything to do with a theory that Muslim
organizations are nefarious.”
“Let me be extremely clear,” J.M. Berger, a counterterrorism analyst at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism,told BuzzFeed last
fall, speaking of the broader idea of a terrorist designation for the
Muslim Brotherhood. “This initiative is concerned with controlling
American Muslims, not with any issue pertaining to the Muslim
Brotherhood in any practical or realistic sense.”
For years, anti-Muslim groups have
claimed that CAIR, the country’s largest Muslim civil rights
organization, and other pro-Islam groups in the U.S. are, in fact,
fronts for the brotherhood.
Saylor vehemently denied that
allegation on Wednesday. “The Muslim Brotherhood affects CAIR the way a
dust storm on Mars affects the weather in Washington, D.C.,” he said,
adding that CAIR has never received funding from the brotherhood. (They are funded by Muslim Brotherhood surrogates in the Muslim world)
Yet with the election of Donald Trump, who has surrounded himself with anti-Muslim conspiracy theorists,
and with Republicans in control of the Senate and House, the proposed
Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act has a chance of passing and
being signed into law.
Yet, she said, “in the Trump era, and
in the most Islamophobic atmosphere the American Muslim community has
ever experienced, it seems we should expect the unexpected, such as this
unprecedented designation, which no former administration has made. It
would cripple the operations of any Muslim organizations linked, however
circumstantially, to the Brotherhood.”
“Demonizing these organizations,” she
added, “will only hinder national security efforts to eradicate the
roots of violent extremism.” (CRAP)
Nathan Lean, author of the 2012 book The Islamophobia Industry,
agrees. He said designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group
could give government officials cover to effectively dismantle U.S.
Muslim groups. And that, he fears, would lead to “the wanton violation
of American Muslim civil rights.”
The allegations that the Muslim
Brotherhood has ties to CAIR ― as well as to groups like the Muslim
American Society, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the
International Institute of Islamic Thought ― stem largely from a single
discredited document titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General
Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America.” The memorandum, found during a 2004 FBI raid of a Virginia home, was written by a Muslim Brotherhood member named Mohamed Akram Adlouni in 1991.
In horrifying language, Adlouni called
for the Muslim Brotherhood to engage in a “Civilization-Jihad” wherein
Muslims would work at “eliminating and destroying the Western
civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house.” He
listed a number of American Muslim organizations, including CAIR, in an
appendix to the memo.
“Imagine if they all march according
to one plan!!!” Adlouni wrote ― a seeming admission that these
organizations were not, in fact, engaged in any “civilization jihad.”
Adlouni does not appear to have been a
significant player in the Muslim Brotherhood, so his letter can’t be
interpreted as a set of orders. Rather, he sounds like a subordinate
trying to persuade higher-ups, at one point asking that the brotherhood
“not rush to throw these papers away.”
In 2011 testimonybefore
the House Select Intelligence Committee, Tarek Masoud, a professor of
international relations at Harvard University, said that Adlouni’s list
of Muslim organizations appeared “aspirational.”
“It seemed to me upon reading the
memorandum that the Muslim Brotherhood member who wrote it believed that
his organization was not working with American Muslim organizations and
should be,” Masoud recounted to HuffPost this week.
A 2016 report by the Bridge Initiative at
Georgetown University dismissed the memorandum as “one man’s utopian
vision.” Adlouni’s call for “civilization jihad” was never adopted by
the brotherhood, the report concluded, and his phrasing almost never
turns up in “mainstream Islamic literature” over the two decades since
he wrote the document.
But among anti-Muslim groups like the
Center for Security Policy, which has close ties to Cruz, this document
is still held up as definitive proof that peaceful Muslim groups in the
U.S. are hellbent on committing “civilization jihad.”
Cruz cited the “civilization jihad”
memorandum in his press release this week. In the previous version of
the Muslim Brotherhood bill he introduced last year, he named CAIR and two other groups ― ISNA and the North American Islamic Trust ― as “affiliates” of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And during his 2016 presidential
campaign, his national security advisers included the Center for
Security Policy’s founder and president, Frank Gaffney, and its vice president,Clare Lopez.
Under the helm of Gaffney, the Center
for Security Policy has arguably done more than any other group to push
the “civilization jihad” conspiracy theory. It is listed as a hate group by
the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose website describes Gaffney
as “gripped by paranoid fantasies about Muslims destroying the West from
within, suspicious that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya, and a
proponent of a new version of the infamous House Un-American Activities
Committee to root out suspected Muslim subversives.”
Gaffney has also baselessly accused
multiple political figures ― including Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin
and conservative activists Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan ― of
infiltrating the U.S. government on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“The Muslim Brotherhood has become a
boogeyman for these people and it’s just become the dirty word you can
connect these groups to,” said Eli Clifton, a fellow at the Nation
Institute and co-author of the Center for American Progress’ 2011 report
“Fear Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America.”
In the worldview of the Center for
Security Policy and similar anti-Muslim groups, Lean said, if someone’s
“brother-in-law’s cousin’s nephew’s half-brother was once in the grocery
store lane with a man who was in the Muslim Brotherhood … that’s
sufficient evidence that that particular individual or group is
representative of the Muslim Brotherhood. That’s hyperbole in a way, but
that is the sort of the logical leap that these people make.”
The reality, Lean said, is that “there
is never evidence” that CAIR or ISNA or the International Institute of
Islamic Thought ― to name a few of the Islamophobes’ targets ― are on
the brotherhood’s payroll or otherwise represent the brotherhood.
Ted Cruz introduced this bill back in 2015 when it didn’t have a prayer of passing under the Obama Regime.
After Trump’s election, anti-Muslim
groups in the U.S. were in a celebratory mood. The day after the
election, Gaffney told Breitbart Radio that Trump’s win was “literally a
blessing from God” and that declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a
terrorist group would be a key part of Trump’s “strategy of victory over
jihad.”
And then, as if to encapsulate his own
conspiracy theory, Gaffney said, “We’ve got to stop taking counsel from
[the Muslim Brotherhood], direction from them, and allowing them to
operate in our midst subversively, and that’s what’s been going on for
some 50 years now.”
Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for
America ― which the Southern Poverty Law Center has also listed as a
hate group ― bragged in a Dec. 13 fundraising email that her group had a
“direct line” to the Trump White House and that his presidency would be
a “four-year window of opportunity” to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a
terror group, among other objectives.
And Jamie Glazov, managing editor of
the anti-Muslim site FrontPage Magazine, said on Nov. 12, “What a sweet
moment, what a miraculous moment. CAIR, ISNA, and other Brotherhood
front groups should be shaking in their boots.” Those who worry about
the rights and safety of American Muslims have been less joyous since
the election.
The Islamophobia Industry author Lean
warned that if the U.S. declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terror group,
it’s likely the government could launch “wholesale surveillance” of the
Muslim community ― much as the New York Police Department once did,
“which violated [Muslims’] rights.”
And that, Lean suggested, would be the
relatively “benign” outcome. “When you render a group a terrorist
group,” he said, “that opens up the door for a lot of really damaging
possibilities, like endless prosecution of Muslim Americans that simply
hold different political or religious positions than Cruz, [Ben] Carson,
Gaffney, Trump and that band of fear-mongers.” When groups like CAIR
are weakened or dismantled, the people they represent become more
vulnerable to persecution.

The gravity of the existential threat we face from Islamic Jihad is truly of epic proportions. It is essentially a battle pitting free-civilized man against a totalitarian barbarian. What is at stake is the struggle for our very soul - namely who we are and what we represent. The lives that were sacrificed for individual rights and freedoms that we've come to cherish are being chiseled away from right under our noses by the stealth jihadists. And many of us are in denial and totally clueless.
The left's appeasement and pandering to evil is nothing new. What makes their utopian delusions so infuriating and unpardonable is that it is not only they who will have to pay the consequences, and deservedly, so, they are thwarting and undermining our best efforts at resistance and are thus dragging us down in the process as well.
