RYAN MAURO: A WINDOW ON THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN AMERICA
An Annotated Interview with DHS Advisor Mohamed Elibiary
working through their objections without ever polemically demonizingthem in public as some of their supporters have done to me.
Elibiary appears here to be suggesting a compromise between those advocating adoctrinal analysis in the war on terror and Brotherhood-linked American Muslimgroups, many of which would financially support designated terrorist organizations. Insetting up such a dialectic, he equates those who wish to prosecute funding terrorist activity with those who would fund that activity. To expropriate his earlier Mafia example, Elibiary seems to posit a kind of equivalence between the FBI and the crime syndicates it chases. Of course, there are those whose views are outside his consideration. (Ina later section of this interview, for example, Elibiary derides Muslim reformers whom he views as adversaries.)
