Mid-length essay about the Muslim Brotherhood, history, tactics, etc. Early on, this:
...few dispute the entity most responsible for advancing the notion of
political Islam is the global, secretive organization known as the
Muslim Brotherhood. Thus, the new administration’s counterterrorism
efforts are likely to focus on it. Trump campaign advisor Walid Phares
recently indicated
to an Arab-language newspaper that the incoming administration will
designate this Islamist group a foreign terrorist organization, the goal
of a year-long legislative effort led by Senator Ted Cruz. While the House version of the bill, authored by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, easily passed
the House Judiciary Committee, Republican congressional leadership has
stymied its passage. Reports from staffers indicate that establishment
Republicans have expressed concerns about how such a designation would
impact U.S. policy, both at home and abroad....
"Congressional leadership..." translates PAUL RYAN.
That's the guy with the walled and gated compound, ya'know.
