The GOP's Muslim Brotherhood-Inspired Post-Orlando Agenda

There are many legislative options at the disposal of Republicans who control both chambers of the legislature. They could start by placing a pause on refugees as Obama brings in over 100 per day. I just checked the State Department database and found a jump in arrivals from Syria of 238 just from June 13 to June 14. Overall, 1,320 Syrian refugees have been admitted since June 1 – every one of them a Muslim. The American people overwhelmingly favor a pause instead of a refugee surge while their elected officials can properly audit the short-term and long-term effects of mass migration from the most volatile parts of the Islamic world.

Next, Republicans could bring legislation to the House and Senate floors finally designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, thereby freeing up law enforcement do expunge them from our government and go after the mosques controlled by Brotherhood front groups. This would cut to the foundation of the radicalization problem inside Muslim communities in this country. It would also remove the Muslim Brotherhood foxes guarding the hen house within our sensitive counterterrorism advisory boards for the FBI and DHS. The bill designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terror group (H.R. 3892) already passed the House Judiciary Committee in February.

But no. Republicans will have none of that. Instead, Republicans plan to package a bunch of nothingburger bills that, in best-case scenario, completely distracts from the core problem, and in the worst case, actually promotes the Muslim Brotherhood agenda.

The rough plan for now is to package a bunch of nebulous bills that passed the House under suspension over the past few months into one bill and send it over to the Senate. Here are the three bills that are preliminarily slated for the package:

H.R. 4407, the Counterterrorism Advisory Board Act: passed on May 16, 2016: The bill directs the DHS to establish a counter-terrorism board led by a Coordinator of Counterterrorism. “The board shall: (1) advise the Secretary of DHS on the issuance of terrorism alerts, and (2) meet on a regular basis to discuss intelligence and coordinate ongoing threat mitigation efforts and departmental activities.” Thus, we have an administration that refuses to recognize the enemy, has Muslim Brotherhood officials advising on “countering violent extremism,” and yet, we have a GOP Congress creating a new office to coordinate bad policies instead of mandating good policies or statutorily bar the use of funds for bad policies. This is tantamount to offering the arsonist a new fire truck instead of tying the hands of the arsonists and installing a real firefighter.

H.R. 4401, The Amplifying Local Efforts to Root Out Terror (ALERT) Act: This bill passed by voice vote (without a recorded vote) on February 29 when nobody was looking. It is literally written for the Muslim Brotherhood. ….

H.R. 4820, The Combating Terrorist Recruitment Act: Passed April 26: This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to incorporate the public statements of former “violent extremists” or their associates into its efforts to combat terrorist recruitment. Again, the Muslim Brotherhood agenda.

Rumors are also circulating that the House might consider Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul’s bill (H.R. 2899) creating an entire new office of “Countering Violent Extremism,” essentially giving CAIR its own agency within the federal government.

Hence, at a time when Republicans should be banning the Muslim Brotherhood from government offices, as the U.K. government recently did, they are incorporating their agenda into their legislative priorities and legitimizing their subversion agenda under the guise of combating terrorism. In many ways, the Muslim Brotherhood serves as a more foundational threat than the Islamic State. They are the enemy from within and are responsible for radicalizing many Muslims in America who then go on to support groups like ISIS, Nusra, Shabab, and Hezbollah.

Worse, they have penetrated every level of our homeland security agencies. The latest example is the report that one of the members of Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a Syrian immigrant who praised the 9/11 attacks. But HSAC, along with the FBI’s National Counterterrorism Center, the DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and the State Department Special Representative to Muslim Communities, have long been saturated with members of ISNA, MPAC, CAIR – all groups implicated as unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial – participating in programs or downright drafting “homeland security” policies. I recommend everyone read Patrick Poole’s 2013 magnum opus detailing how the worst of the worst elements have been given top security clearances to help “counter violent extremism.”
