The De-Islamization of America > Congress to Outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood

 

Congress Moves Bill Forward to Outlaw Muslim Brotherhood

After President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to determine whether Muslim Brotherhood chapters in certain countries should be designated as foreign terrorist organizations, Congress went a step further, and is now moving forward on legislation that would designate the Muslim Brotherhood everywhere as a terrorist organization. More on this legislation, that has just passed its first hurdle in the House, can be found here: 


US Lawmakers Advance Bill to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization

by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, December 4, 2025:

The US House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday advanced legislation to designate the entire Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, continuing a bipartisan push in Washington to combat the global Islamist network.

Members of the committee voted to approve the bill on a bipartisan basis, with every Republican and several Democrats supporting the measure just over a week after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing his administration to determine whether to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.

Notably, the legislation would require the US government to proscribe the Islamist network globally, while Trump’s order more narrowly directs Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to submit a report “on whether to designate any Muslim Brotherhood chapters, such as those in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan.”

The legislation considered on Wednesday was spearheaded by Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL).

“I am pleased that my bill to designate the entire Muslim Brotherhood globally as a terrorist organization has been approved by the full committee. This is a step in the right direction and further amplifies other efforts, like those of President Trump, to take decisive action against this insidious threat,” Diaz-Balart said in a statement.

“I thank Chairman [Rep. Brian Mast] for his leadership and the committee for advancing this bill to protect US national security interests and Americans by prohibiting US dollars from enabling the Muslim Brotherhood’s dangerous and pernicious activities while ensuring that MB members are blocked from entering the United States,” he continued.

Moskowitz similarly praised the committee for advancing the bill to a broader debate by the full House of Representatives.

“For decades, the Brotherhood has been tied to extremism and instability across the Middle East and around the world,” he said in a statement. “Other nations have already taken steps to investigate the Brotherhood and its affiliates, and the United States must have the authority to do the same.”…

A recent report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) found that Qatar has funneled roughly $20 billion into American schools and universities over five decades as part of a coordinated, 100-year project to embed Muslim Brotherhood ideologies in the US.

The 200-page report, unveiled in Washington, DC to members of Congress, chronicles a 50-year effort by Brotherhood-linked groups to embed themselves in American academia, civil society, and government agencies, exposing what ISGAP calls the Brotherhood’s “civilization jihad” strategy, while maintaining an agenda fundamentally at odds with liberal democratic values.

Both the House and Senate versions of the legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide as a terrorist organization will certainly pass, with only a few Democrats withholding support. Then what will be needed is for Congress to establish the link between the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial. It has been outlawed in the United Arab Emirates as a “terrorist organization.” In November, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as state-level “Foreign Terrorist and Transnational Criminal Organizations.” A Congressional vote can extend that designation across the country if CAIR’s links to the Muslim Brotherhood can be shown. That shouldn’t be hard to do.

Islamization in Canada > 9000 Federal Government IT workers asked to give up coffee breaks for Ramadan

 

Canada: Federal managers in Ottawa IT department recommend 9000 workers stop coffee breaks for Ramadan

There is no telling how far Western leftists expect to push or coerce non-Muslims to be dhimmis.

Ramadan begins February 26, 2026. “Ray Edwards, then the department’s chief equity and inclusion officer” made the decision to call upon staffers to cancel their coffee breaks during Ramadan to “show respect” for Muslim colleagues was precipitated by the usual complaints from a Muslim group, the Muslim Federal Employees Network, about “systemic racism,” “Palestinian identity,” and “Islamophobia” — just the right buzzwords to cause leftists to freeze in their tracks and comply.



NO COFFEE FOR YOU: Federal IT department urged staff to cancel coffee breaks during Ramadan

Western Standard, December 5, 2025:

Shared Services Canada managers were advised to scrap coffee breaks for an entire month to avoid making fasting Muslim employees uncomfortable, according to internal records released through Access To Information.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the guidance came from Ray Edwards, then the department’s chief equity and inclusion officer, who told managers to “avoid scheduling lunches or informal coffee breaks and chats” during Ramadan.

About 100 of the department’s 9,393 employees self-identified as Muslim, though not all were observant.

Edwards wrote that Ramadan, observed last winter from February 28 to March 29, includes mandatory daytime fasting for those who follow the tradition.

He reminded staff that fasting is meant to encourage self-discipline and gratitude, and said it was important to show respect for colleagues taking part in the religious observance.

He also cautioned managers not to make assumptions about who participates, noting that personal beliefs, cultural traditions and health concerns can all affect observance.

Edwards encouraged supervisors to avoid early-morning or late-afternoon meetings when “energy levels may be lower,” and not to schedule key meetings during Iftar or Suhoor.

The directive followed a February 13 complaint from the Muslim Federal Employees Network, a volunteer group within the department.

Minutes from the meeting show members felt the department was not offering the same level of support given to other communities and that some employees were afraid to express their Palestinian identity at work.

The network also raised concerns about systemic racism, saying Muslim employees “have been overlooked” amid growing anti-Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian sentiment…..

Good grief! What's next? Cancelling the Christmas Party? Giving up Easter holidays? Invoking Sharia Law? 

Perhaps Muslims should be asked to give up Ramadan to honour the hundreds of diabetics who can't go without their coffee breaks. Will diabetics have to go without snacks at their desks? That's a frightening scenario for us diabetics.
