The Muslim Brotherhood in America 🇺🇸

 A Hidden Threat Operating in Plain Sight

The Muslim Brotherhood is often perceived as a foreign threat — a radical Islamist organization with roots in Egypt, banned in multiple Middle Eastern countries due to its violent, subversive, and ideological nature. But the truth is: the Muslim Brotherhood is not just “over there.” It's here — and it’s working from within.

A Strategic Agenda

Founded in 1928, the Brotherhood has always had more than religious goals. Its mission has been political, global, and deeply strategic — to establish an Islamic caliphate and bring societies under Sharia law. While in the West the group avoids openly violent language, its long-term strategy remains intact: to infiltrate and influence Western institutions from within.

This method is outlined clearly in their own internal documents. A key example is the 1987 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum, uncovered during a terrorism trial in the U.S., which explicitly describes their goal in America as:

"A kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers..."

Influence in America

The Brotherhood’s network in the U.S. is subtle, layered, and well-organized. It operates through front groups that pose as civil rights organizations, educational institutions, and religious charities.

One of the most well-known and controversial of these is CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), which has been accused of deep ties to the Brotherhood’s ideology. Though CAIR markets itself as a Muslim civil rights group, critics point to its documented history, including connections to Hamas and a role in the infamous Holy Land Foundation trial, as deeply concerning.

Other Brotherhood-affiliated organizations in the U.S. have attempted to gain footholds in universities, media, and even political advocacy spaces — not to defend Muslims from discrimination (a noble cause), but to shield radical ideas from criticism by labeling dissent as Islamophobia.

The Weaponization of “Islamophobia”

Let’s be clear: Islamophobia is real when it refers to irrational hatred or discrimination against Muslims. But the term is being co-opted and weaponized to shut down legitimate criticism of Islamist ideologies, gender apartheid, and extremist violence.

The Brotherhood and its affiliates use this term as a shield — not to protect peaceful worshippers, but to silence critics, suppress investigations, and portray themselves as victims, even while pushing ideologies completely incompatible with democratic values.

Why This Matters

While many Americans believe extremist threats only come in the form of foreign terrorists or obvious radical preachers, the greater danger is ideological infiltration — changing the culture, law, and political landscape over time through influence, not force.

This is the Muslim Brotherhood’s true strategy. And it’s working quietly.

If we fail to recognize this, we risk losing not just our awareness — but the very freedoms that make America what it is.

What Needs to Be Done

• Full transparency: Non-profits and advocacy groups must disclose foreign funding sources and ideological affiliations.

• Policy reform: Laws must prevent tax-exempt status for organizations tied to foreign extremist movements.

• Civic courage: Citizens must speak freely, without fear of being smeared, when they raise concerns about radical influence.

• Support reformers: There are brave Muslim voices within America speaking against extremism — they need our backing, not censorship.

This is not about religion. It’s about defending democracy against theocratic totalitarianism.

The Muslim Brotherhood is not a relic of the Middle East — it’s a political machine with a foothold in America.
And it’s time we take that threat seriously.
