Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood Buddies Get MAJOR Bad News From Congress

Idiot-proof legislation, or so we would like to think, calling for the State Department to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group has officially begun making its rounds in Washington.

The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill on Wednesday by a 17-10 vote.

“The Brotherhood’s strategic goal in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house from within so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions,” committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte said, quoting the Brotherhood’s 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, according to The Algemeiner.

The next step is for the bill to head over to Speaker Paul Ryan and the House floor.

 

The Algemeiner stated that a high-ranking Republican official said that Ryan and the GOP are on board with this bill — which makes House passage imminent.

“The Brotherhood and its leaders and affiliates, such as Hamas, have supported Islamist terrorism — directly, through fundraising, and through exhortation. Each of these activities constitutes an act of terrorism under the Immigration and Nationality Act,” Goodlatte stated at the Judiciary hearing.

After all that, it boggles the mind that America has yet to deem the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the foundation for hundreds of other terrorist groups, as a “terrorist group.”

The bill stated that it is the “sense of Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood meets the criteria for classification as a foreign terrorist organization.” However, the bill also says that the Obama administration would be forced to deny admittance to any foreign national tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

So, all those ties with the Council on American-Islamic Relations? Refugees gaining entry visas even through they’ve admitted to assisting Hamas or Hezbollah? Gone.

While we can expect a big, fat veto from President Barack Obama if this legislation passes both houses of Congress, the point will be loud and clear — the president has ties with the Muslim Brotherhood that aren’t worth being severed for the sake of national security.
