Scathing report calls on US to label Islamist group infiltrating all aspects of American life as terrorist orgFIRST ON FOX: A prominent global research center has released a comprehensive report on what it says is a multi-generational campaign by the Muslim Brotherhood to "transform Western society from within" and covertly infiltrate the United States.
The 200-page report, released by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy on Wednesday, draws from internal Brotherhood documents, such as the "1982 Project" and "1991 Explanatory Memorandum" and makes the case that Western freedoms have been systematically leveraged to advance Islamist ideological goals as the group continues its five-decade plan to embed itself in the United States.
The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization founded in Egypt, has gained access to government agencies, been involved in advising American civil rights policy, infiltrated educational institutions, and created a vast social media footprint, the report states.
According to the report, The Muslim Brotherhood allegedly targeted U.S. government agencies for infiltration, including the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Justice, through career appointments and advisory roles.
The report dives deep into alleged terror ties within the group along with various funding sources from places like Qatar while making the case that both al-Qaeda and the Brotherhood "share the strategic aim" of establishing an Islamic state government by sharia and differing only in tactics where the Brotherhood's "gradualism allows it to maintain ideological continuity with militant jihad while avoiding direct confrontation."
The report calls on the United States to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
"We are now fifty years into the Brotherhood’s 100-year plan to entrench themselves into key institutions in the United States and other western societies to undermine and destroy our democracy," Dr. Charles Asher Small, founding director of ISGAP and co-author of the report, told Fox News Digital.
"This is not simply a political movement but a transnational ideological project that adapts itself to Western systems while working to undermine them. The Brotherhood has learned to use the very freedoms of democracy as tools to erode it from within, exploiting the tolerance and openness of liberal societies as strategic vulnerabilities. This report lays out how, and what must now be done to defend our democracy. Designation as a terror organization is essential to safeguard our freedom and way of life and we must deal with the entryist damage that has already been done."
Earlier this week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations Tuesday, preventing both groups from obtaining land in the Lone Star state..................
