The Texas Concealed Handgun Association annual meeting in Kerrville at the end of March included one unusual presentation entitled Understanding The Threat. John Guandolo, a former U.S. Marine Corp officer and former FBI agent made a compelling case that the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to take over the United States and subjecting its citizens to Sharia Law. He heads an organization called Understanding The Threat that tries to educate law enforcement, government officials and members of the public about the danger posed by the brotherhood to our way of life.
While governments at all levels are fixated on the violence carried out by a small minority of Muslims, the Muslim Brotherhood is waging “Civilization Jihad” to destroy the United States from within, Guandolo said.

Documents seized by the FBI in a raid in Virginia in 2004 outline five phases for the take over of a country and turning it into an Islamic state or caliphate under Sharia law. Phase Five is seizing power and establishing an Islamic state where Sharia law rules. Under Sharia, every Muslim is obliged to conduct and support Jihad.

“Warfare against non-believers is the definition of Jihad,” Guandolo said.

Much of the evidence about this conspiracy was exposed as a result of an FBI investigation and subsequent prosecution in Dallas of the brotherhood affiliated Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). At the time, HLF was the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. The organization and its leaders were indicted in 2004 and convicted in 2008 of funneling more than $12 million to Hamas. While Hamas has been labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. government, the Muslim Brotherhood has not.

The Muslim Brotherhood was created in Egypt in 1928 and reached the U.S. in the 1950s. It has branches in more than 100 countries and has thousands of affiliated organizations in the U.S. In 1962 it created the Muslim Students Association which now has 600 branches in most American universities where it recruits members to Islam and Sharia.

In his book, Raising a Jihadi Generation: Understanding the Muslim Brotherhood Movement in America, Guandolo says that statements made by Muslims after a Jihadi attack must be viewed through a Sharia filter where words such as peace and justice have different meanings. He gives this example.

When an Imam says: “We are dismayed by the arrest of this young man. We categorically condemn terrorism, we call for the protection of all innocent people, and we want to see human rights spread throughout all of America so we can live in peace.”

What this really means is: “We are upset this man was arrested by infidel forces. We condemn the killing of Muslims without right, we call for your government to protect all Muslims, and we want to see the world subordinated to Islamic Sharia so we can live in peace under the global Islamic State in the Dar al Islam.”

It is also important to remember that Islamic law permits believers to lie to unbelievers in furthering the cause of Islam.

“Islam is not a religion, it is a way of life,” Guandolo said.

Members of Muslim Brotherhood organizations have been quite successful in infiltrating government at all levels. Wearing suits, they approach officials and offer help as advisors. Assisted by political correctness and “diversity,” they start affecting government policies. Guandolo said that Republican leaders such as the late John McCain, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have blinded by political correctness to the dangers of the brotherhood.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was created by the Muslim Brotherhood and is the political arm of Hamas in the U.S. It is always quick to respond to any criticism of Islam. CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF court case in Dallas. It contested this in court but a judge ruled that the government had provided ample evidence that it should remain mentioned as an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment.

Despite protestations by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front organizations that Islam is a religion of peace, it is not. Sharia law with its barbarian punishments is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution. Women who commit adultery are stoned to death while anyone who denounces Allah or the prophet Mohammed is condemned to death usually by beheading.

Guandolo said there are links between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Marxist Antifa organization. He predicted that some of the violence needed to take over the country will come from the Antifa.

What can we do to counter this threat to the U.S.? Guandolo says local law enforcement is “the tip of the spear,” and needs to be educated about the threat and how to deal with it. Most people in Washington are unaware of the threat so Understanding The Threat aims to educate them and others.
