How many senators will be willing to get on board?
Al Qaeda was created by a Muslim Brotherhood splinter group. Osama bin Laden was a Brotherhood member and originally went to Pakistan as part of the ‘Ikhwan’ Brotherhood. Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. So are many other Islamic terror groups.
After 9/11, there was a wave of raids on Brotherhood operations in the United States and those raids produced most of what we know about its operations in American. Unfortunately the Muslim Brotherhood had already heavily influenced American politics through a network of Islamist organizations like CAIR and the Bush administration pulled back. The Obama administration made aiding the Brotherhood’s takeovers during the Arab Spring a key part of its foreign policy leading to a new wave of attacks on a 9/11 anniversary including in Benghazi.
The Trump administration ushered in a wave of political change, but Brotherhood members have still been able to operate in inner circles in D.C. The question is whether the United States is ready to root out the political terrorist network within.
Sen. Ted Cruz has officially introduced his Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025. The bill focuses on the more obvious terrorist networks to overcome past opposition to designating the so-called ‘peaceful’ Brotherhood arms as terrorists. In reality, as CAIR has shown us, the political arms and the terrorist arms are part of a single whole. CAIR supported Hamas because the political arms are not peaceful, they simply pursue a different strategy for undermining the ‘infidels’ and wielding power.
The question is how many senators will be willing to get on board and defy the attacks from CAIR and other groups, along with their leftist allies, and the growing numbers of Muslim settler leaders and donors in their states?

Shut them down now. These people left alone are a 5th column bent on America’s downfall.

Yes. The question Who has the fortitude, the integrity, the honesty, the moral courage, the *guts* to do the right thing?
Can we count more than two or three? They can send the young men into battle, but can they open their mouths when it really counts? Are they men or mice? Come on, senators; squeak up.
OT, but not really in the overall scheme: “Retired military members in Florida warned of terrorist threat”

Will the Muslim Brotherhood Finally Be Designated a Terror Group?
……………………………………
It certainly should be.
OLD GUY says
There is no question as to what they support, they are a terrorist supporting organization and should be designated as such and shut down.
Ruth E weekly says
It would be a good start however did not fully understand Cruz. It sounded like he wanted it both ways which would not work. His state of Texas has given millions to Muslims and now the Muslims not Americans have the god good life there.

What does it take to declare the Muslim Brotherhood, a known terrorist islamofascist organization and “cousin” to Hamas, Al-Qaeda/ISIS/HST?
The terrorist Muslim Bros. became “government” in Egypt in 2011-12 under Presidnet Morsi, a sworn Islamofascist who destabilized Egypt and bankrupted it while Egyptians fled to UAE and Saudi Arabia for jobs and securityand Egypt became a failed state. Beheading, bombing of churches, harassment of Jews, lawlessness ruled the day and a year later President Al-Sisi restored order in now secular Egypt walking a fine balancing act but managing to survive.
Turkey, the headquarters now of both Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, is working hard to destabilize Egypt again with its Islamist agenda and receives generous funding from Warmongering Erdogan who heads a bankrupt country (65% inflation) himself. Turkey is the New Iran and its proxy, the “Syrian” Jihadist regime is now unleashing its terrorists to attack on the Druzes who comprise 90% of the population of the region where the jihadists attacked them! Members of the Muslim Brotherhood are in these “Syrian” Jihadist “armies” committing atrocities and persecuting all minorities in “Syria”.

The mb is more like the “grandfather” of hamas and al queda. Members of the mb formed the other terror orgs…like children having children.

Thank you, Senator Cruz, for doing this. If and when it passes, follow it up w/ banning CAIR, which is the muslim brotherhood chapter in the US. On the foreign policy front, also demand that the State Department act against both Turkey and Qatar
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes indeed, re Turkey and Qatar… and any number of others, e.g. .. PAKISTAN!
The USA needs to disentangle itself from all of its very unhealthy relationships with Islamic entities of ANY kind.
Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan.. the whole ding-bang lot of them..
Get OUT. Kick Turkey out of NATO.
Cut ALL ‘aid’ to Islamic states.
STOP buying oil from Muslims.
Quarantine the Ummah…
Do NOT permit mohammedans to enter the USA .. not as migrants not as ‘refugees’ not as students not for ‘business’ nor any other purpose.
Many Mohammedan ‘students’ on American campuses set out to lure naive American girls into marriages.. and then abused them terribly, and dragged them off to the dar al Islam, along with any children they had.
The US should prioritise relationships, trade, etc, with free and semi-free NON-Islamic states.
NO infidel state, company or organisation of any kind should enter into dealings with mohammedans, because Mohammedans simply CANNOT be trusted.

Get behind Cruz and push…
