The Global Jihad Abroad and at Home

Another American has been beheaded by global jihadists associated with the Islamic State. This time, it was an aid worker in Syria who converted to Islam in captivity. Evidently, neither helping Muslims nor adopting their faith trumps the offense of being an American.

On Saturday, there was another signal development regarding the jihadists. The United Arab Emirates published a list of dozens of Muslim groups it has designated as terrorist organizations. Interestingly, among them were two American fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood: the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society. Both groups are indignant and demanding their names be removed.

But the Brotherhood is an organization that has spawned virtually every Islamic terrorist group and that shares their goals. Those associated with it are jihadists, too.
