In this new video, I explain why the Muslim Brotherhood should be designated a terrorist organization, and is not a bulwark against jihad terrorism, as is often claimed.

Tom Davis says
Of course. The KKK is not a bulwark against Nazism either.
linnte says
The KKK is a miniscule drop in the bucket of terror compared to the Muslim Brotherhood. KKK are like a neighborhood bully in a large metropolitan city. Easy to control or remove. The Muslim Brotherhood on the other hand is disseminated through out that metropolis and hiding in plain sight. Very difficult to eradicate a political ideology if so many adhere to it.
Donna says
Thought you all might find this interesting. Now they’re seeping into work related sites, trying to garner Muslim sympathy. What if someone disagrees with this woman? Are they then an “Islamophobe” and will be blackballed in their industry. An inappropriate place to push their agenda, to say the least

rara says
She works as a Chief Social Scientist in the US Army and she answers to somebody naming she “jokingly” “a terrorist” the second time. She doesn’t claim the “religion of peace” or anything else untrue.
Donna says
My point “rara” is WHERE she was posting her feelings, it’s an inappropriate venue, work related sites should be kept to work related topics. Notice also almost every single response was a “sympathy response”.
linnte says
I wrote a comment, but it didn’t get posted.
My comment was like this ; Maybe the person “joking”, with you has read Islamic texts, and is truly, fearfully wondering where you stand on Sura 9:29 and other ayat regarding the destruction of Christians and Jews. Maybe this isn’t about YOU at all, but about their fear. Why not sit down and have dialogue regarding the Sura in the Qur’an that you don’t follow?
Donna says
Just an FYI – I wrote the US Army directly today and let them know I found it very offensive that this women is pushing sympathy for her religion acting as a representative of the US Army. If she was doing this from a personal account that would be ok – in this instance she is attemping to represent our Armed Services AND her “religion”. I also inquired if she was real, or yet another online harassment method being tested.
linnte says
Very cool Donna! That was excellent work and an excellent point. Wow! Let’s see if you get a response and keep me posted. Thanks!
Donna says
I will 🙂 I have great respect for what all of you are doing here, and read this site daily. My methods are a bit “different” (to say the least lol) but I have gotten results in the past.

Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has always been a terrorist organisation. They were involved in terrorism since the 1940s that resulted in the in the political assassinations of an Egyptian prime minister (Naqrashi) and a president (Sadat, who was on their side) they also attempted to assassinate President Nasser in 1954.
The MB gave birth to almost all the terrorist organisation we know today including the Al Qaeda, Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS ..etc. Interestingly, there was no time when the MB was on bad term with the US. Both worked hand in hand especially since the Afghanistan war in 1979. They continued to be considered allies to the US even after 9/11
The more sinister part of the MB are their various organisations that operate in the West under peaceful names like CAIR and the various Muslim Councils
Mark Swan says
Absolutely salim
WorkingClassPost says
Those who wonder how the MB have gained such a foothold in the West, particularly USA, may despair total and irredeemable corruption throughout the system, and while corruption is probably a factor, there is another ploy used in circumstances like this.
It is well known and often tried, when ingratiating oneself, or ones group, that information or apparently exclusive insight, has a tremendous affect on gullible and ignorant officials.
There are, throughout history, many instances of what we call ‘double’ agents, who pretend one form of allegiance, while holding another, often the very one that is being investigated.
Consider all the so called ‘failed plots ‘ claimed by FBI, CIA etc. How many were dumbo lowlifes, handed over by MB as part of their insidious deception?
This is not conspiracy theory, just good practice by anyone seeking to gain the trust of an opponent.
And when politicians make well received pro islam speeches, they are flattered and rewarded and of course they return to their muslim advisors, and so the infiltration deepens and strengthens.
Proscription is the only way to prevent it from continuing now, because they are embedded and have too many sympathetic ears within the US State.
Jerry says
I think if we could get a majority of people to understand the full import of what Spencer says in this one video they’d be far less conciliatory about islam. Islam and sharia is a barbaric system for living that is totally contrary to our own. It’s is a violent assault on human rights and a perpetuator of ignorance, spiritual, scientific, and social. Muslims don’t want to grow more enlightened with the times, they’d rather we go backward for them. I don’t think so.
WorkingClassPost says
That idea of going backwards is an important point, because the more we progress, the further they need to drag us back to their 7th century ideal, so any notion of integrating with islam gets ever more impossible with every day and with each scientific, spiritual or social advance that we make.
Jerry says
I think that’s true. The more we speak our rational and moral objections to their jihad and sharia madness the more desperate they become with their violence and accusations of “islamophobia.” But it’s gotten to the point of silliness now, their false claims simply don’t hold water unless one is a leftist fool. The only thing we can do is stay the course and hope that more people join our good defense for human rights and democracy. We want to make future generations proud of our efforts, just as our forefathers did in fighting Hitler 70 years ago. Bequeathing islam is the same as damning others to a lifetime of slavery, intellectual, moral, and spiritual. We can do better than that. America is the best symbol of hope and freedom for the world and we must keep it that way.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Robert:
Here’s some technical advise from a recently canned campaign adviser…
The viewer who looks at your eyes will see that you are not looking straight into the camera, but are reading from an off-center text. The solution is to get two teleprompters. This will give you the same bobbly head-wagging mannerism that the public associates with our highest-ranking scholarly leader.
billybob says
More advice from the production side… You need some sound absorbing curtains, wall coverings, and/or panels. You were obviously recoding that in a small, highly reflective space in terms of audio – know as a very “lively space”. The audio recording was confounded by very strong reverberations from very nearby, and much less intelligible than it could have been. I have seen though, that in general your technical production has remarkably improved in the past few months, and this current video seems to be a one off, and probably wasn’t recorded where you have been doing your latest series, a place that may well have been a proper studio complete with blue screen.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The long term planning papers discovered by the Swiss police in a raid decades ago called for destroying America from within. Officials in Washington act as if that this didn’t happen, or if it did then it was an outlier, when in fact it’s central to the Mo-Bro-Hoods plans, always has been and always will be.
So we went on to elect a born Moslem/fake Christian/probable atheist Barack Hussien president, who then appointed a member of the Mo-Sis-Hood his policy director. And our next president, Hillary, is deep on the Moslem payroll and had as his chief aide another Mo-Sis-Hood member. Look for Hillary to revive the UN resolution for member nations to make it a felony to criticize a religion. She’s big on the hate crime thing.

Such a surreal condition we are in! I keep pinching myself but sadly I am already awake. 🙁

I know the feeling, had to stop pinching though, it was getting to the scale of self harm!
mortimer says
The MB is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain, Egypt, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
Juan Zarate, former U.S. White House counterterrorism chief said: “The Muslim Brotherhood is a group that worries us not because it deals with philosophical or ideological ideas, but because it DEFENDS THE USE OF VIOLENCE against civilians.”
The Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud has claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood organization was the cause of most problems in the Arab world.
We need to cut to the bottom line: the MB is a supremacist organization.
1) What is it that a supremacist wants?
2) How far is he willing to go to get it?
Jack Diamond says
Hamas is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, which calls itself the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. MB connected groups and charities (including monies given directly to Khaled Mashal in 2006 thru the MB in Pakistan, Jamaat-e-Islam, with contributions from the ICNA) have aided and abetted a FTO. CAIR itself came from the IAP, a public relations front for Hamas, and it raised funds for Hamas charities, Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation. There is no shortage of cause to designate the MB a terrorist organization (and a seditious organization in the US), just a shortage of will.
The MB has only ever been about establishing a worldwide Caliphate and, even though it is a “secret society”, former head of the MB International, Mohammad Akef, explained how it was organized in an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat in 2005: “the Muslim Brotherhood is a global movement whose members cooperate with each other throughout the world, based on the same religious worldview, the spread of Islam until it rules the world…all members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the international arena operate according to the written charter that states that Jihad is the only way to achieve these goals.” In earlier interviews he called the United States “a satan that abuses the religion. I expect America to collapse soon. I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America.” (MEMRI no. 655 Feb 4, 2004). The MB practice of “maruna” to pose as the good jihadists who have renounced violence for the rule of democracy shouldn’t fool anyone (outside the State Department).
WorkingClassPost says
This whole MB thing reminds me of something Sun Tzu might have said:-
In every war,
there comes a time when it is more important to know who the collaborators are, than who the enemy is.

Please excuse any comments that may drift over the next hour or so.

Islam just spreading. The Arab spring turning out as a spring for the MB.

Stupidities of Marc Lynch, “professor” of what?
Is that what a nation must hear?
MB murdered in 1981 president of Egypt Anwar Sadat.
MB in 1952 made pogrom and arson that destroyed 750 buildings in downtown Cairo, mainly nightclubs, theaters, hotels, and restaurants frequented by Westerners, thus “marking the end of the liberal, progressive, cosmopolitan Egypt”.
MB in 1948 murdered Prime minister of Egypt Mahmoud Nukrashi.
MB’s founder Hasan al-Banna, 1928: MB’s credo is, as follows: “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations”.
Al-Banna: “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet”.
Al-Banna: “Islamic flag must be raised again in the territories once ruled by Islam: “Thus, Andalus (Iberia), Sicily, the Balkans, the Italian coast, as well as the islands of the Mediterranean are all Muslim Mediterranean colonies, and they must return to the embrace of Islam”.
Yusus al-Qaradawi, MB spiritual leader, 2014: “Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Islam’s state leader, himself used to be a MB member, only he moved to IS (to make better contribution to islam’s cause)”.

Egyptian president Abdel-Fatah Al-Sisi: 2015
“The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of extreme ideology and…the godfather of all terrorist organizations,… including of ISIS… All extremists derive from one (from its) pool”.

Al-Sisi, 2015: “Muslim Brotherhood is the origin of all (terrorist organisations). All these other extremists emanated from them”.

Why Washington is so stupid bamboozling itself that MB could be any “firewall” against islam’s terrorism and cherishing such a snake in its bosom?
Suicidal instincts – developed along with relativism during 20th century…
What else?
Ah, yeah, unwavering belief in goodness.
Mark Swan says
Good Points Plamen
underbed cat says
The influence was massive, the methods were Islamic organizations, the mantra was peaceful deception, the leaders currently in power need this information and the public so that better decisions are made in regards to national security and protection from terrorism. First we have to untangle the network of money influence to universities, media, banks and politicians that unknowingly opened the door.
How did they ignore the trial. that designates terror groups..due to bad timing, manipulated by a embedded group to mislead and change or deny history. The adjectives and nouns can be filled by knowledge.
underbed cat says
Know the MB, know how terrorism works unseen with clever methods of hidden goals, and interconnections to empower and mislead so no one sees millions of refugees as a threat but only a necessary humanitarian cause after fighting the war, and each side collaborating the aftermath.

The recording equipment was substandard and I had too difficult a time listening to this piece..
billybob says
It was the recording space, not the equipment. In fact, the equipment faithfully recorded every mind-numbing reverberation generated in that space with such poor acoustics. Next time he should try recording in the bathroom. It might have fewer echos.
