Calls mount for Trump administration to label Muslim Brotherhood 'terrorist organizat
Quote:The Trump administration could soon declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, a move that would greatly restrict the controversial group’s global reach and would come despite its insistence that it has peaceful intentions.
Trump himself was often critical of President Obama’s outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has proposed a bill to call for declaring the Brotherhood a terror organization. In the past, it has been accused of supporting terrorist groups around the world, and several countries, including Muslim nations, have banned them.
If the U.S. declares the Brotherhood a terrorist organization, it would make it a criminal act for Americans to fund the group, ban banks from processing money for it, bar people with ties to the group from coming to the United States and make it easier to deport immigrants who have worked with the organization.
“It is time to call this enemy by its name and speak with clarity and moral authority,” Cruz said in a statement introducing the bill.

I don't think there is any evidence that this is where anything is heading. Intelligent people understand that there are but a relative few Muslims who participate in violent terror. But those who are committed to violence should be labeled accordingly.
Then again maybe you were just being sarcastic.

It's abundantly clear they are, it's just baffling they aren't so labeled.

Up until January 20, there was no such thing as radical Islamism.

*cough* 120,000,000* support terrorism *cough*
*Plenty of polling of Muslims say it's much higher. Large majorities in some countries.

RE: Calls mount for Trump administration to label Muslim Brotherhood 'terrorist organizat
The Muslim Brotherhood that was the leader of Egypt at one time worked and helped BiBi with releasing prisoners that Hamas held go. That leader also bombed the hell out of the ISIS in the Sinai Peninsula. BiBI praised him for what he have done to help. There are some members that are peaceful, but there are some that could be people from other terrorist groups like ISIS causing them problems. The problem is who said Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group? Saudi Arabia labeled them as a terrorist group. We know for sure Saudi have their hands dirty with bin Laden and ISIS.

RE: Calls mount for Trump administration to label Muslim Brotherhood 'terrorist organizat
On Sean Hannity's radio show earlier in the week, he had on a former NSA/CIA guy part of the Bush Administration. Before he was replaced in 2009 he was ordered by Obama to delete a watch list that had 800+ known Muslim Brotherhood members here in the US. The guy did as he was told, but sent the list to the Senate. One name on that list was Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The dead Boston Bomber. Law enforcement said that he was not on any watch list.

What's next? A finding that CAIR is supporting terror? Who knew?

So why don't you educate us stupid racists with your superior intellect, since that seems to be where this is heading.

Even Egypt knows that they are a terrorist organization but Oblunder didn't. Now tell me if Oblunder wasn't and still is a Muslim sympathizer. He fooled a lot of people that conniving Oblunder. Still is as a matter of fact.
