From Cairo to Colorado: The Muslim Brotherhood's Dangerous Reach Must Be Stopped

 

America is waking up to a threat that’s been hiding in plain sight for far too long: the Muslim Brotherhood. For years, this organization has been treated by some as a misunderstood political movement. But recent events—and mounting evidence—prove it’s much more dangerous than many realize.

A report published by the Washington Free Beacon reveals that Congress is now closer than ever to officially designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Leading the charge is Senator Ted Cruz, who has repeatedly warned that the group is not a benign religious entity but the ideological backbone of radical Islamism across the globe.

A Radical Blueprint in Action

The Muslim Brotherhood doesn't always plant bombs. It plants ideas—dangerous ones. It wraps itself in religious legitimacy while preaching hatred, division, and extremism. Groups like Hamas didn’t just appear out of nowhere—they grew from the Brotherhood’s roots.

Now those ideas are spreading here.

Colorado: A Flashpoint

The recent terrorist attack in Colorado is a chilling reminder of this spread. Though not officially linked by membership, the attacker echoed rhetoric strikingly similar to that promoted by the Brotherhood. This isn’t just coincidence—it’s ideological seepage. His online posts and motivations fit a clear pattern: the weaponization of religion for political violence.

This incident wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a signal—one that cannot be ignored.

The Brotherhood’s Quiet War

The Brotherhood has mastered the art of the slow infiltration. While Americans go about their lives, it builds influence in student groups, religious centers, and even civic institutions. Its goal is not coexistence—it is dominance. It pushes a worldview that undermines democracy from within, cloaked in soft words and double-speak.

Senator Cruz is right: We must stop pretending this group is anything less than a threat.

National Security Demands It

There is a growing bipartisan understanding that this is not a fringe issue. Labeling the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization isn’t just symbolic—it empowers law enforcement, disrupts financial support, and sends a clear message that the U.S. will not be a breeding ground for extremist ideologies.

Conclusion: Prevent, Not React

We failed to take early action with other groups—and paid the price. The Muslim Brotherhood may not carry out attacks itself, but its ideas light the fuse. Colorado was a warning. The next time, the cost could be even higher.

If we truly want to protect our nation from ideological threats, we must stop ignoring the ones that are already here.

Designate the Muslim Brotherhood. Before it’s too late.
