After “Designation,” What?
Defeating the Muslim Brotherhood and Other Sharia-supremacists’ War against Western Civilization and What Must be Done to Accomplish It
1:00–2:15 p.m. ET, November 25, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Donald Trump today signed an Executive Order establishing that, “It is the policy of the United States to cooperate with its regional partners to eliminate the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters designated as foreign terrorist organizations…, deprive those chapters of resources and thereby end any threat such chapters pose to United States nationals or the national security of the United States.” These chapters will also be deemed “specially designated global terrorists.”
The Victory Coalition welcomes the President’s clear desire to safeguard U.S. nationals and the security of the United States from the terrorism perpetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. The question occurs, however: Will this executive order do that? Or will the Order’s focus on certain Muslim Brotherhood “chapters” – the only ones mentioned being in Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt – and the fact that they are to be identified as “foreign terrorist organizations” mean that the Muslim Brotherhood’s vast infrastructure of clerics, organizations, mosques, front groups and cells in this country will continue to be allowed to operate with impunity?
An alternative – and far more accurate – characterization of the problem posed by the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide and here was captured in a key campaign speech then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made in Youngstown on August 15, 2016. Among other things, he:
- asserted that “Just as we won the Cold War, in part, by exposing the evils of communism and the virtues of free markets, so too must we take on the ideology of Radical Islam”;
- committed to pursuing “aggressive criminal or immigration charges against anyone who lends material support to terrorism. Similar to the effort to take down the mafia, this will be the understood mission of every federal investigator and prosecutor in the country”;
- pledged to screen out “any [immigrants] who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles – or who believe that sharia law should supplant American law”; and
- promised that “the support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.”
The next Victory Coalition briefing from 1:00-2:15 p.m. ET on November 25th will address: the scope of the new Executive Order; the differences between the terms of the President’s designation and that issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott last week, which included the domestic operations of the Muslim Brotherhood and one of its leading front groups, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as both international terrorist groups and transnational criminal organizations; and the dangers associated with allowing Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated adherents to the “ideology of Radical Islam” to continue to operate with impunity inside the United States.
