Who are the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, and why should Americans care? Because both are Islamist front groups dedicated to Islam’s eradication of Christianity and Judaism, the genocide of the Jews and anyone opposing them, and the conquest of Western Civilization.

The invaluable Discover the Networks notes the Muslim Brotherhood is determined “that Islam should be ‘given hegemony over all matters of life.” To accomplish that, the Brother’s credo states:
“God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.”
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, postures as a non-violent advocacy group, but as Discover The Networks explains, it’s anything but:
CAIR promotes a radical Islamic vision, as evidenced by the fact that its co-founder Omar Ahmad told a Fremont, California audience in July 1998: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran … should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
This is not mere religious sentiment. Islam is a political system with religious trappings, and the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR are deadly serious about their goals of Islamic world domination. They’re hard at work toward this goal—in Texas—which has caused Governor Gregg Abbott to declare the Brotherhood and Cair foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.

Both groups are behind an attempt to establish an exclusionary Muslim enclave in North Texas, originally called “Epic City,” but more recently branded “The Meadows.”
So far, Texas has been successful in putting a halt to the project, however numerous lawsuits are forging ahead to push the project through.
The Texas branch of CAIR follows the Brotherhood playbook of deflecting scrutiny by claiming opposition to the project constitutes an “Islamophobic witch hunt.”
The man behind the EPIC/Meadow project in Texas is Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi, who is Chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America, which is named in the Brotherhood’s “Explanatory Memorandum” as one of the organizations involved in the “civilizational jihad”/grand jihad strategy in North America. In short, Qadhi is about as Muslim Brotherhood as it gets.
Islamist organizations have long sponsored antisemitic groups on college campuses, many of which have more recently become overtly violent with the support of college administrators. They’ve branched out into K-12 Texas schools:
Meanwhile, Islamic associations are now visiting American schools, seeking to indoctrinate American kids with sharia law – an effort at proselytizing known as . At Wylie East High School in Texas, an Islamic group called “Why Islam, ” without approval, set up a booth at the front of the school during school hours and began courting students. The “Why Islam” group is an official outreach project run by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), widely regarded as a Muslim Brotherhood group.

The very real and ongoing Islamist attempt to subvert America from within isn’t limited to Texas, and scholar of Islam Robert Spenser reports at PJ Media. An Islamist woman recently prayed before the Illinois legislature, asserting that:
[Islam] is stitched into the fabric of our land [America], and carried in the sacred inscriptions…
She’s claiming that Islam was instrumental in the founding of America. Spenser explains:
The claim is actually based on the contention that a large number, if not all, of the black slaves in antebellum America were Muslims. This is an increasingly popular claim among the leftists who insist that “black and brown people built this nation,” but it is as unlikely as it is widely circulated. The uncomfortable fact is that Muslims in Africa often captured non-Muslim Africans and sold them to the Atlantic slave traders; they didn’t generally capture or sell their fellow Muslims, as that would have been against the Qur’an’s injunction to be “ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another” (48:29).
Why would anyone make such a fanciful claim, and why would a state legislature allow it? Well, Illinois, of course, but Islam’s goals are not inclusive and benign. Her “prayer” was part of a concerted campaign to stake Islam’s claim on America and to assert Sharia—Islamic law—is inherently American.
It’s an incremental, insidious approach. Once there are enough exclusionary Muslim enclaves, once Sharia has been imposed and upheld, Jihad—armed conquest—will be the next step.
Islam is fundamentally, violently incompatible with Western Civilization. It is not kidding when it proclaims America “the great Satan,” and Israel “the little Satan,” and promises to destroy both. Texas, for now, understands that. Illinois apparently does not.
