a review by Jerry Gordon (October 2013)

report, Sheik Ben Bayyah “has urged the U.N. to criminalize blasphemy.” His group has spoken out in favor of Hamas and in 2009 issued a fatwa barring “all forms of normalization with Israel.” 

noted how the Ikhwan's infiltration of America started  in Lugano, Switzerland in 1977.

Yusuf Qaradawi attended, they created the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) to nurture and spread the neo-Salafist doctrine of Qutb and others. After a 1978 meeting in Saudi Arabia, the MB leaders decided strategically to locate the IIIT in the US. Initially the Institute was opened in Philadelphia, lead by Dr. Ismail Faruqi, who was on the faculty at Temple University. Later the IIIT would move to its present site in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Ahmed Tontonji. Barzinji signed the incorporation papers for the opening of the IIIT in the US in 1980. Another MB functionary was Dr. Hisham Altallib . . . . The Lugano trio of three Iraqis, Totonji, Barzinji and Altallib, settled in Indianapolis. They were joined by benefactor Yousef Nada who lived there between 1978 and 1982. They used Saudi money to build a national headquarters on a 42 acre site in the community of Plainfield, Indiana. There they created several MB fronts, the Muslim Students Association in 1963 at the University of Illinois, the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust.

Stakelbeck cites Hamas terrorism expert, Matthew Leavitt, on the central goals arising from the Philadelphia Summit:

While the FBI national office had cut relations with CAIR, relations at regional offices persist.

So what can America do to combat the MB in our midst? Stakelbeck has the following suggestions:

• Ban all Muslim Brotherhood related groups currently operating on US soil.
• Withdraw financial support from Islamist regimes around the world, beginning from Egypt.
• Hold the Islamist regime of Erdogan in Turkey accountable for radical words and actions.
• Ensure by any means necessary, that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.
• Work for regime change in Iran.
• listen hear, when asked about the changes in Egypt with regard to the Ikhwan, Stakelbeck said, “remember the Muslim Brotherhood has 70 affiliates worldwide seeking to establish a global Caliphate.” The MB has gone through cycles of suppression in Egypt only to go underground and emerge in a new guise until the next opportunity arises to achieve its objective.
