RYAN MAURO: A WINDOW ON THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN AMERICA

An Annotated Interview with DHS Advisor Mohamed Elibiary

ported on a video showing Hamas leaders pledging allegiance²³ to the Brotherhood and, specifically, its jihad. And, of course, the American Muslim Brotherhood privately has described²⁴ its “work in America as a kind of grand jihad…in eliminating and de­stroying the Western civilization from within.”

It must be emphasized here that Elibiary’s views regarding the Muslim Brother­hood are being expressed by someone who is influential within the Obama administra­tion’s policy-making process. We are not engaging in an academic exploration of Is­lamism that is confined to a classroom.

Supporters of the US Muslim Brotherhood often deny its existence. Elibiary setshimself somewhat apart here by admitting that it has existed in America “for a very long time.” He insists, however, that it is of no concern because it operates within the law.
