Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has reintroduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, explaining that he believes it will “advance America’s fight against radical Islamic terrorism.” Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), one of the bill’s cosponsors, notes that “since the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Brotherhood-affiliated groups have consistently preached and incited hatred against Christians, Jews and other Muslims while supporting designated radical terrorists.” That is true, and they have done it while having the ear of some of the top officials in the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement apparatus, and that’s why this bill is so needed.
