A valuable addition to American society I'm sure.

'Give me your crims, your jihadis, your huddled masses in prison, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore...'

#3 Helping a prisoner escape from Saudi custody is just the kind of stupidity that makes pResident Biden the foreign policy genius that we all know and love.

#4 In September 1990 the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (Islah) was founded. Among its members were intellectuals and Muslim Brothers. Its powerful leader, Shaykh Abd al-Majid Zindani was a Muslim Brother and considered responsible for sending some 20,000 Yemenis to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. He was close to Rariq al-Fadli the founder of Yemen's Islamic Jihad movement. From 1990-1995 the Islah "established some 600 institutes and educational centers controlled by Muslim Brothers." Islah also created charities, and sought to enlist tribal leaders in the movement. Eventually, the most revolutionary members were found within the Ulama which concentrated on students and the younger generation.
The Islah has never denied its Islamic roots, and why the US should be involved with any of its present leaders is indeed a mystery.

#5 Al-Ansi arrived in the United States under the pretext of medical treatment.

Just in time for the mid-terms.

#6 why the US should be involved with any of its present leaders is indeed a mystery.

Slavising Unineting5672, there is the romantic idea that the Muslim Brotherhood in its various branches are moderate Muslims in comparison to the openly totalitarian Al Qaeda, etc. And since the ascendence of Islamist governments in the Ummah is inevitable — like Communism — best to manage the decline/surrender so as to have some impact on the resulting awfulness.

The alternative being to actually fully commit to fighting against them, which would result in being called a neocon.

#8 Barack Obama and his State Department cheered on the Muslim Brotherhood as it took charge in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. And chaos ensued. It now seems that the Biden administration is playing stupid games. They may think the Ikhwan is a legitimate Egyptian political movement, but practically from its inception the founder Hasan al-Banna created an Islamist element whose purpose was subversion. And it exists to this day although the Ikhwan is for the moment centered in Turkey.

#9 I wish there was a secret society of jiahadi killers like there exists in vampire lore. The United States (outside of Gitmo) should not provide sanction to islamists. Turns my stomach seeing new Woke America align with Neo-Nazis and 'moderate' Jiahadis.
