Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser (president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy), told the House Intelligence Committee, that the Muslim Brotherhood is, “largely Secular”.
Clapper had said it’s not. Dr. Jasser stated that Clapper’s statement: “presents a significant concern that our primary Intelligence officer has a complete lack of understanding of an organization that presents the greatest threat to the security of the United States, and the Director of Intelligence “is either grossly naïve or covering up for an ideology that is in an ideological war with the United States and western society.
- Muslim Brotherhood
It’s not like we haven’t seen that from the Obama Administration before …..

Further, the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to the political process in a post-Mubarak Egypt and throughout the middle-east. Thugs like Mubarak have created an atmosphere that has allowed the Brotherhood to thrive.
Our Intelligence community cannot afford to allow political correctness or this severally mistaken understanding of the Brotherhood to enter the conversation of how we will confront the changes in Egypt.”
The United States needs to be active within the country of Egypt countering the ideology of the Brotherhood helping the people of Egypt develop liberty-minded, democratic infrastructure to secure the country’s future. We need to demonstrate to Egyptians that freedom does not come in the form of Islamic law or in the rule of theocratic clerics.
As we deal with political Islam domestically and abroad it has hundreds of permutations from the most violent (Al Qaeda) to the non-violent (Islamist groups in the west). They all are pursuing the same goal which is the Islamic state based in Sharia Law.
This is because they all share the same roots – The Muslim Brotherhood. This very conflict is what defines our American Islamic Forum for Democracy.
If America gets this conflict wrong we are doomed to become accomplices in the ascendancy of Islamic theocracy throughout the world which ultimately threatens our national security.
