The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

On 25 September 2019, the Trump administration hosted a Faith Based Safety and Security Symposium at the White House. Islamic Movement leader Oussama Jammal, Secretary General of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), was present at the event. The White House meeting included Vice President Mike Pence and officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Prior to this White House symposium, Oussama Jammal, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director Nihad Awad, and other senior Islamic Movement leadership, had just met days before with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during the 74^th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

As documented in multiple published sources, including the Center for Security Policy’s 2015 monograph, Star Spangled Shariah: The Rise of America’s First Muslim Brotherhood Party, the USCMO is the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s political umbrella group and is closely affiliated with the pro-HAMAS Turkish Justice and Development Party (AKP). CAIR, founded by the top HAMAS officials in the U.S. in 1994, is the lead Brotherhood front group within the USCMO. USCMO senior leadership, including Jammal and CAIR’s Executive Director Nihad Awad, have all openly pledged fidelity to Turkish President Erdoğan.

On his official Twitter account

on 25 September 2019, USCMO Secretary General Oussama Jammal shared pictures from the White House event, along with the following brief commentary: “Attending #DHS Faith Based Community Safety and Security Symposium hosted by the #WhiteHouse. Applaud the recognition of both domestic terrorism and violent extremism as threat to our national security. Glad to hear commitment to protect places of worship. Mosques mentioned many times.”

Published evidence acquired by U.S. and foreign security agencies documents that the Muslim Brotherhood engages in hostile intelligence collection against U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and seeks to conduct influence operations against them and U.S. policymakers.

For more than a decade, the Center has sought to sound the alarm about the Islamic Movement’s expressed intent to wage jihad to establish the rule of Islamic Law (shariah). The Muslim Brotherhood operates in the U.S. as the vanguard of the Movement via a network of hundreds of front groups as well as through the USCMO. Star Spangled Shariah chronicled the development of the USCMO and its U.S. agenda of infiltration and subversion across the spectrum of American society, including national security.

In the spring of 2018, the Center published “Ally No More: Erdoğan’s New Turkish Caliphate and the Rising Jihadist Threat to the West” which revealed for the first time the close partnership between Turkish President Erdoğan and the USCMO, a partnership that began well before the March 2014 announcement of the USCMO’s formation.
