7. Naming the Muslim Brotherhood a National Security Threat

(If Ted Cruz’s bill to declare the MB a terrorist group is successful, it would do more in the interests of the preservation of freedom than all the bombs in and around Baghdad)

The Muslim Brotherhood is to Islamic terrorism what a virus is to disease. Major terrorist leaders from the Caliph of ISIS to Arafat have the Muslim Brotherhood on their resume. And the current leader of Al Qaeda led a Muslim Brotherhood splinter terror group. But its linkages to Islamic terrorism are only a secondary aspect of the organization whose focus is on Islamizing nations through more subtle means.

Paradoxically the Brotherhood has met with far less success in the Muslim world than in the West. Its greatest victories in the Arab Spring would not have happened without Obama’s backing and its takeovers of Egypt and Tunisia were rolled back by popular uprisings while its efforts in Libya, Syria and Yemen were stymied by armed conflict with other Muslims.

The Muslim Brotherhood is unpopular in Egypt these days. It’s also unpopular with Americans.

In one poll, 61 percent of Americans had an unfavorable view of the Muslim Brotherhood. Only 11 percent had a positive view of the Islamic supremacist organization. Only 5 percent of Americans saw the Muslim Brotherhood’s takeover of Egypt as a positive development.

  1. 3 – Who wants to bet the shooting was Shia against Sunni over the execution of the Shia cleric.

  2. #2- “Hillary Clinton over her suggestion that the real estate mogul’s controversial remarks about Muslims WOULD BE USED to recruit jihadis.”
    That is NOT what she said. What she said was the tapes of Trump’s remarks WERE BEING USED to recruit jijadis. There is a difference…
    Just another media goon trying to soften a Clinton lie.
    So now, Boko Haram has come out with a propaganda tape featuring Trump. But, guess who else is on the tape, wait for it… HILLARY!
