It's past time to designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization
For far too long, the United States has treated the Muslim Brotherhood with a dangerous combination of naivete 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-Qaida 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 Shariah 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.
