July 21, 2025 –The Liberty Values and Strategy Foundation commends the bipartisan initiative introduced in US Congress by Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), along with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the Senate, to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). This critical legislation represents a decisive move to strengthen US national security, resist extremist ideologies, and defend the principles of American democracy.

At a time when America faces complex security and ideological threats, this bipartisan action sends a powerful message: the defense of our country and values transcends political divisions. Lawmakers are demonstrating unity and shared responsibility in the face of foreign-backed extremist agendas.

The Muslim Brotherhood has long maintained a clear mission to replace democratic institutions with authoritarian religious governance. Its ideology—rooted in radical political Islam and augmented by antisemitic narratives—seeks to undermine open societies and foster division. Recognizing this group as a terrorist organization is not an act of politics—it is a necessary safeguard for America's integrity and safety.

Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as an FTO will provide US law enforcement and national security agencies with the resources to disrupt its funding streams, revoke visas connected to extremist networks, and fortify American institutions against covert influence operations. The group’s ties to international extremist movements have destabilized key regions around the world and threatened democratic progress in numerous countries.

For the Liberty Values and Strategy Foundation, this legislation underscores an essential commitment to confronting extremism at its source and protecting the democratic values upon which our society is built. It reflects our core mission to promote transparency, strengthen civil institutions, and uphold the freedoms that define the American way of life.

We urge leaders in both the US House and Senate to advance this legislation swiftly and ensure its implementation without delay. The time to act is now—America must lead with clarity, conviction, and unity in the face of ideological threats at home and abroad.
