Here’s an article I found quite surprising: “U.S. Muslim Brotherhood authorizes $140M annually to help Muslims take control of American government.”
Welp, the Muslim Brotherhood is alive and well, and its U.S. branch is putting its money where its mouth is.
BREAKING: The Shariah-ruling arm of the US Muslim Brotherhood has issued a fatwah unlocking an estimated $140 million a year in tithing (zakat) from American Muslims to finance the campaigns of Muslim leaders for public office including the House & Senatehttps://t.co/wqnPCYRiCQ

Snip.
Abdul El-Sayed racked up at least $315,000 from Muslim Brotherhood-tied sources. Coincidentally, he also says Israel is “evil…”
Islamic organizers are advancing a nationwide plan to back Muslim and other Islamic-friendly candidates with financing from a potential political war chest of more than $140 million a year in mosque and other donations from the swelling Muslim-American community.
Earlier this year, the Qadhi-led Fiqh Council of North America issued a legal ruling (fatwa) in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America that for the first time unlocks Muslim-American tithing and charitable giving, known as ‘zakat,’ for political use: ‘[G]iving one’s zakat for influencing political causes is warranted.’ The stated goal is to, broadly, ’empower’ Muslim communities in America, but more specifically, to fund the campaigns of politicians who oppose Israel and support policies such as criminalizing criticism of the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in general.
Qadhi is sympathetic to such censorship: ‘For us Muslims, an infinitely more amount of respect should be shown to our religious symbols and especially to our prophet.’
The reason all this strikes me as odd is because I was under the impression that the Muslim Brotherhood (AKA the Ikhwan) was a designated terrorist organization, and it is, but not in the U.S.
Today, as a first step in support of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that pose a threat to the United States as described in Executive Order 14362, the United States is imposing terrorist designations against the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Department of State is designating the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), and the group’s leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Department of the Treasury is designating the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas.
Texas has declared the Muslim Brotherhood (and CAIR) as terrorist organizations as well, as did Florida. And numerous nations (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Kenya, and even Russia have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
Yet, somehow, the United States government under Donald Trump has not done so. Given the disasterous reign of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi in Egypt, where he tried to turn the nation into a one-party Islamic dictatorship, you would think America’s government would want to avoid the same mistake over here.
The First Amendment prevents government from barring people for running for office based on their religion or beliefs, no matter how criminally stupid. But nothing requires us to let a terrorist organization raise money to overthrow the Constitution and replace it with an Islamic dictatorship.
The Trump 47 administration should correct this oversight.
