Look out, CAIR, ISNA, ICNS and all the other MB enemies of freedom.
The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2014 was sponsored by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.) and has seven co-sponsors: Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), Trent Franks (R., Ariz.), Cynthia Lummis (R., Wyo.), Kevin Brady (R., Texas), Steve Southerland (R., Fla.), Louie Gohmert (R., Texas), and Doug LaMalfa (R., Calif.).
In the past individuals have designated organizations (ie Hamas) and terror-tied individuals (i.e. members of CAIR leadership), but this sanctions the Muslim Brotherhood as a whole.
