The Muslim Brotherhood’s Friend in Congress

Yesterday, the Center for Security Policy released a dossier showing that Rep. Andre Carson, Democrat of Indiana, has long been personally associated with individuals and organizations tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. The government has established in court that the Brotherhood’s mission is “destroying Western civilization from within.”

Rep. Carson is not just a Member of Congress. He was recently appointed to the House Intelligence Committee. That’s the panel responsible for overseeing the most sensitive of U.S. efforts to understand and counter all enemies, foreign and domestic.

That this obvious security problem has so far gone unremarked and uncorrected underscores official Washington’s dangerous failure to address appropriately the Muslim Brotherhood threat. Worse, it can only be seen by our enemies as further evidence of the inevitability of their victory.
