Too bad he cannot designate the Muslim Brotherhood and all their groups as terrorists, because they are, regardless of whether they are pushing violence or using laws, rules, and social mores against nations. The MB are the main source behind most modern Islamic terrorism, starting in the early 20th Century, and their other idea was to infiltrate and take over nations softly, without violence. Ask how it’s going in European nations, like Britain
Trump designates chapters of Muslim Brotherhood ‘foreign terrorist organizations’
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that begins the process of designating certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood “as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.”
The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt in 1928 that achieved political power in the nation briefly in 2012 before the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Egyptian government was overthrown in a 2013 coup.
The White House said the designation will help combat the group’s transnational network, which it said fuels terrorism and destabilization campaigns against U.S. interests and allies in the Middle East. A fact sheet accompanying the order cites connections between Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, which was responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, among other alleged links to terrorist activity.
The designation will allow the United States to target the groups’ U.S.-based finances, collect military intelligence on them and prosecute individuals deemed to have provided “material support” to Muslim Brotherhood chapters with the terrorist designation.
The order calls for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to recommend chapters for the terrorist designation within 45 days. A fact sheet issued by the White House said chapters in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan are among those to be considered for the designation.
The MB is banned in Egypt and designated in full as a terrorist organization for a reason. Also in Bahrain, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates
Unlike the effort in Trump’s first term, the new executive order calls for assigning the terrorist designation to specific chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood chapters share a common ideological foundation but lack international organizational unity.
As much as it would be nice to simply designate the MB as a whole, that, unfortunately, doesn’t work within a 1st World Nation nor the U.S. They have to designate specific operational groups. Sadly, you can bet that groups like the Muslim Student Association will not be included, and they are one of the most dangerous, as they spread extremist Islam on campuses across the U.S. Hatred of the U.S., Christians, and Jews. Support of groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and more.
(Newsweek) The measure would have support from some Democrats, as several have cosponsored legislation to designate the group as a foreign terrorist organization. Five Democrats have signed onto the “Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025,” introduced by a pair of Republicans, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Representative Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida.
The following Democrats have expressed support for the act:
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Representative Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey
- Representative Greg Landsman of Ohio
- Representative Jared Moskowitz of Florida
- Representative Tom Suozzi of New York
Moskowitz urged Trump to “conduct a comprehensive investigation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization” in a letter sent to his administration in June.
Obviously, you can now expect most Democrats to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist Islam. Well, more, because Democrats already started taking the side of extremist Islam back during the Bush 43 admin, since their BDS made them do the opposite of Bush in his sorta war on terrorism.
