Long Overdue: Senator Cruz Submits Bill Designating Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Organization

The Muslim Brotherhood has long been one of the main roots of Islamic extremism and terrorism around the world. There’s a reason Egypt bans them. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and so many more have heavy links to the MB, really going back to the around the late 1930s. But, the MB doesn’t just want violence, they want to spread by soft power, infiltrating Western worlds and pushing them towards Islamic extremism

Ted Cruz Introduces Bill to Label Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Group

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) reintroduced legislation Wednesday to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, marking the latest push in his decade-long crusade to impose sanctions on the worldwide Islamist network that spawned Hamas and other terror groups threatening American interests.

The Texas Republican’s Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025 employs a new “bottom up” strategy designed to overcome previous Democratic opposition by first identifying Brotherhood branches that explicitly engage in terrorism before designating the entire organization for supporting those terror affiliates.

“The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization, and it provides support to Muslim Brotherhood branches that are terrorist organizations,” Cruz declared in a statement. “One of those branches is Hamas, which on October 7 committed the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, which included the murder and kidnapping of at least 53 Americans.”

Cruz emphasized the urgency of the designation, noting that the Brotherhood remains “committed to the overthrow and destruction of America and other non-Islamist governments across the world, and pose an acute threat to American national security interests.”

Most of what you see happening in London, Paris, EU nations, Australia, Canada, has its roots in the MB plan for a soft takeover. The United Nations making blasphemy against the “Prophet” (and pedophile) Muhammed forbidden is part of the plan. Canada forbidding insulting Islam and prosecuting is part of the plan.

The legislation formally codifies the connection between Hamas and its parent organization, stating in the bill text that “Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood branch, according to its charter; which describes Hamas as ‘one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.’” The bill further notes that “on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists committed the worst 1-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, which included the murder, kidnapping, or disappearance of at least 53 United States citizens.”

Will Democrats support legislation that goes against the group looking to kill Jews?

The legislation takes a fundamentally different approach from Cruz’s previous attempts in 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2021, which faced criticism for potentially sweeping up Brotherhood affiliates that weren’t directly involved in violence. Speaking on his podcast Tuesday, Cruz outlined the strategic shift designed to overcome past objections.

Cruz acknowledged that previous efforts stumbled because critics argued that not all Brotherhood branches were actively engaged in violence, making a blanket designation difficult to justify. The new approach flips the methodology, beginning with clear identification of Brotherhood-supported groups that indisputably engage in terrorism before building the case for designating the parent organization.

His previous legislation was better, because it’s the “soft power” that is more insidious. Who would have thought that London would look like it does? That wasn’t created via violence. You have the Muslim Student Association here in the US, for instance, which pushes Islamic extremism on campus. Pushes Israel and Jew hatred. And America hatred. But, maybe, the more limited legislation will be a start.

Will Democrats try and block it? That would be a direct response from the MB affiliates using their soft power to influence the Democrats over the past 3-4 decades.
