Muslim Brotherhood In America

Muslim Brotherhood in America has reached penetration phase 3 (see Spread of Islam).

Like the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe and UK, the Muslim Brotherhood in America operates front groups among which its leaders, most of them US-educated, rotate to avoid detection, litigation and/or prosecution.

The first Muslim Brotherhood organization in America was the Muslim Students Association (MSA), founded in the early 1960s at the University of Illinois. MSA spread quickly across American college campus and spawned Muslim professional groups when their leaders graduated and entered professional life. The founders of most Muslim Brotherhood groups in America can be traced back to the MSA.

Other prominent Muslim Brotherhood groups in America include the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whose chapters across America conduct the ground game, including by threatening or bringing lawsuits to towns, companies and individuals; the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), which is an umbrella political group through which the Muslim Brotherhood lobbies and influences American lawmakers and government agencies (see Islamization of America); the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), which is the funnel through which Saudi oil money is used to build mosques and Islamic schools across America; and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The most notorious Muslim Brotherhood front group in the United States was the Texas-based and deceptively-named Holy Land Foundation (HLF), formerly the largest Muslim charity in America. In late 2008, HLF and its officers were convicted of financing Hamas and sentenced for up to 65 years in prison.
