Brotherhood using persecution of minorities to serve its agenda in US
The international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood was able to build a network of important organizations in the United States.
It uses these organizations to achieve
its goals in the region.
This highlights the dangers posed by
the branch of the Brotherhood in Washington.
The Brotherhood takes advantage of
the various events that occur on the American and international scenes to serve
its own agenda.
Islamophobia and ethnic persecution
remain the most prominent files that the Brotherhood employs to achieve its
strategy.
Brotherhood institutions work to
highlight specific incidents to achieve their goal of gaining more presence among
minorities.
The killing of American citizen, George
Floyd, offers a case in point.
This incident gave an opportunity
for the Brotherhood to gain more presence among black Americans.
Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020 by
police during a violent detention procedure.
On January 15, 2022, the Muslim
Brotherhood focused on Martin Luther King Day to address black Americans and
incite them against right-wing politicians.
The Council on American-Islamic
Relations, widely known as CAIR, monitored the unsympathetic tweets of Martin
Luther King, a campaigner for the rights of black Americans between 1929 and 1968.
The council's website chose Arizona
Senator Wendy Rogers' tweets as an example in this regard.
It called for the intervention of
responsible government institutions to exclude anti-Africans and anti-Islam
politicians.
In doing this, the council tried to shed
light on incidents of ideological rejection in the country, describing them as
a threat to Muslims and people of different religions in the US.
On January 18, 2022, the New York
branch of CARE demanded that Brooklyn Attorney General, Eric Gonzalez, indict a
former police officer named Riggs Kwong of anti-Muslim racism for accusing a
Muslim taxi driver of being an al-Qaeda affiliate.
