US EditionCruz to reintroduce bill labeling Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group after Boulder attack
- Senator Ted Cruz plans to reintroduce updated legislation designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization following a violent attack in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.
- The initiative comes in response to an attack by an Egyptian national in his mid-40s who targeted pro-Israel demonstrators with Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower, injuring 12 individuals and indicating plans to carry out a similar assault again.
- Soliman reportedly supported the Muslim Brotherhood, a group already designated as terrorist by Egypt and others, while U.S. Lawmakers debate expanding terrorism designations amid rising antisemitism and concerns over linked groups.
- Cruz stated the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadists use violence to impose radical views, and a bipartisan effort aims to empower authorities by labeling the Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.
- The renewed effort may heighten immigration crackdowns, target groups like CAIR, and could affect U.S. Relations with countries where the Brotherhood is embedded in government structures.
