Designate the Terrorist Brotherhood

What would you call an organization that has as its stated mission “destroying Western civilization from within”? How about “the enemy”?  If the group explicitly calls for the use of terrifying violence to accomplish that goal, at least it should be recognized as a terrorist organization.

Both are characteristics of the Muslim Brotherhood, a  global enterprise founded in Egypt and that, for a time, misruled that country.  The government that, with broad popular support, overthrew the Brotherhood’s regime has not only banned the organization.  It’s just been designated a terrorist group.

Rep. Michele Bachmann is one of the few in Congress who really understands the danger posed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s jihadism here, as well as abroad.  She says the United States should treat it as the Egyptians have.  She’s absolutely right.
