A long overdue step toward confronting MB infiltration.
No other government but the Trump administration would be likely to venture into the highly complicated arena of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the West. “Trump Administration Weighing Immigration Ban on Members of Islamic Extremist Groups,” by Neil Munro, Breitbart, August 13, 2025:
Top Trump administration officials are drafting plans to restrict both temporary visits and legal immigration by Muslims affiliated with the revolutionary Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups.
“We are taking a new look at sections within the INA [Immigration and Nationality Act] that have never been used before to really get a better sense of who these applicants are, and then we’ll be able to assess” what can be done to exclude militant Muslims, said Joe Edlow, director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency.
“We’ve got to make sure that [would-be immigrants] do not espouse ideology that is incredibly detrimental to the safety and security of this country,” he told Breitbart News on Monday.
Officials are preparing to apply the terrorist label to some Islamic groups linked to the sprawling Muslim Brotherhood movement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told radio host Sid Rosenberg on Tuesday. “All of that is in the works — obviously, there are different branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, so you’d have to designate each one of them.”…
The Breitbart article also points out that “the group, largely led by Muslim university graduates living in Europe and the United States, is suppressed by nearly all Arab countries.” Yet it operates freely in Western countries.
It is critical to recall the unindicted co-conspirators that were listed in America’s largest terrorism funding trial in history, the Holy Land Foundation trial. The list identifies: individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood, individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations, and individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the Palestine Section of the International Muslim Brotherhood. There are many others listed as well. Read the full list HERE, as published by the Investigative Project. Note that the powerful lobby, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is identified under “individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.”
Recall also Biden’s pact with the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group EMGAGE, and his conundrum over the Hamas’ war on Israel. In early 2020, the organization Emgage launched its Million Muslim Votes campaign in order to galvanize a million Muslim Americans to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Emgage’s website stated: “The MMV campaign was our celebration and a reflection of our determination to build elections as a vehicle of change for our community’s political will.” The organization reportedly had spectacular success in uniting Muslim voters, who turned out in unprecedented numbers in key battleground states, including Michigan and Pennsylvania. Emgage ultimately boasted that “in 2020 we helped turnout 1,087,086 registered Muslim voters. And we’re just getting started.” Emgage and Biden shook hands in a pact, in which each made promises to the other. --->READ MORE HERE

On Tuesday, New York City radio host Sid Rosenberg asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio about whether the State Department intends to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist organizations. Rubio responded that “all of that is in the works,” although “obviously there are different branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, so you’d have to designate each one of them.”
Logistics and bureaucracy aside: It’s about time.
For far too long, the United States has treated the Muslim Brotherhood with a dangerous combination of naiveté and willful blindness. The Brotherhood is not a random innocuous political movement with a religious bent. It is, and has been since its founding about a century ago, the ideological wellspring of modern Sunni Islamism. The Brotherhood’s fingerprints are on jihadist groups as wide-ranging as Al Qaeda and Hamas, yet successive American administrations — Republican and Democratic alike — have failed to designate its various offshoots for what they are: terrorist organizations.
That failure is not merely academic. It has real-world consequences. By refusing to label the Muslim Brotherhood accurately, we tie our own hands in the fight against Islamism — both at home and abroad. We allow subversive actors to exploit our political system and bankroll extremism under the guise of “cultural” or “charitable” outreach.
Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood’s stated mission has never wavered: the establishment of a global caliphate governed by sharia law. The Brotherhood has always attempted to position itself as a “political” organization, but it is “political” in the way Lenin was political. Think subversion through infiltration — or revolution through stealth.
Consider Hamas. Hamas is not merely inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood — it is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian-Arab branch. The link is unambiguous; as Article Two of Hamas’ founding charter states, “The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine.” And Hamas' charter also makes clear its penchant for explicit violence: “Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement.”
This is not the rhetoric of nuance or moderation. This is the ideological foundation of contemporary jihadism. Yet, while Hamas is rightly designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department, other branches of the Muslim Brotherhood remain off the list. --->READ MORE HERE
