As stated in the organization''s charter and on its website, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to install an Islamic empire ruled under Sharia Law and a Caliphate across the Muslim world and ultimately the entire world, through stages designed to "Islamisize," incrementally, targeted nations. We can witness this very action taking place in Europe today.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been active in the United States since the 1960s. Its goals, both stated and as perceived through their actions, have included propagating Islam and creating havens for and integrating Muslims into the US. One of their main strategies for achieving these objectives has been dawah or Islamic renewal and outreach. In the 1960s, groups such as US military personnel, prison inmates and African-Americans were specifically targeted for dawah.

The Muslim Brotherhood has succeeded in setting up numerous US front groups since the 1990s that should be regarded as hostile and a threat to the United States, according to Stephen Coughlin, a lawyer and military intelligence specialist on the Pentagon Joint Staff.

The "Ikhwan in America" is essentially a 20 point plan to replace the American Democratic Republic with an Islamist State ruled under Sharia Law. This document reveals that the Muslim Brotherhood engages in activities ranging from going to camps to do weapons training (referred to as Special work by the Muslim Brotherhood), to engaging in counter-espionage against US government agencies such as the FBI and CIA (referred to as Securing the Group).

One key excerpt of this 20 point plan is as disturbing as it is revealing: "The process of settlement is a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process.' The Ikhwan 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."

The Justice Department''s response was that its participation at the weekend meeting was part of an "outreach efforts...to educate the public about how the department works to protect religious freedom, voting rights, economic opportunity, and many other rights."

When one reconciles this statement from the "Ikhwan in America," "The Ikhwan 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..." with this statement from the Justice Department''s response to Congressmen Hoekstra & Myrick, "...participation at the weekend meeting was part of an "outreach efforts...to educate the public about how the department works..." one can successfully argue that the US Justice Department was walking into -- and continues to facilitate -- information gathering activities by an organization whose goal is to replace the sovereignty and authority of the US Constitution with Sharia Law in their quest for a global Caliphate.
