In an on Breitbart radio just hours after Donald Trump鈥檚 November victory speech, Frank Gaffney, one of America鈥檚 most influential and notorious anti-Muslim figures, repeated a battle cry that he and his organization, the Center for Security Policy (CSP) had sounded for more than a decade.

Critical for Trump will be, 鈥渟topping, designating, rolling up the Muslim Brotherhood in America as the terrorist organization it is鈥� Gaffney said. His friend Sen. Ted Cruz increased the heat on Trump a week later, a bill to designate the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, claiming the group espouses 鈥渁 violent Islamist ideology with a mission of destroying the West.鈥�

The White House is reportedly聽weighing options to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, according to several news outlets.聽Such a move would amount to a powerful policy win for America鈥檚 anti-Muslim movement, whose leaders have worked tirelessly to smear American Muslim civil rights organizations, in particular the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), by calling them聽 鈥渇ronts鈥� for the Brotherhood.

Critics of the designation are quick to point out a lack of evidence to support the claim.聽

鈥淣o evidence supports this view, apart from a prepared in 1991 by a man affiliated with the Brotherhood, which discussed Muslim American organizations 鈥渕arch[ing] according to one plan,鈥� explained Georgetown University law professor Arjun Singh Sethi in a recent Washington Post column. 鈥淭his memorandum, of which there is , has been widely discredited and called a fantasy.鈥� 聽

Cited ad nauseam by anti-Muslim groups who consider the memo as the Brotherhood鈥檚 grand plan for 鈥渃ivilization jihad鈥� 鈥撯�撀� a clandestine effort to overthrow America from within 鈥撯�撀燝affney and others see examples of this plot everywhere, be it Hillary Clinton鈥檚 aide , Muslim of Congress or even conservatives such as .

While quick to compare the Brotherhood鈥檚 ideology to that of ISIS or Al Qaeda, dismantling or at least some of America鈥檚 largest Muslim civil rights groups as well as closing the doors of as many of America鈥檚 mosques as possible remains the anti-Muslim movement鈥檚 ultimate goal.

This was evidenced at a speaking engagement in 2011 when John Guandolo 鈥撯�撀燼 disgraced ex-FBI agent and head of the anti-Muslim hate group Understanding the Threat (UTT) 鈥撯�撀� that mosques in Nashville, Tennessee, are fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, have no right to exist, and 鈥渄o not have the first amendment right to do anything.鈥� In 2016 Guandolo the right-wing conspiracy theorist website WorldNetDaily that the U.S. should arrest 鈥渁ll of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders in the U.S., shutting down their organizations and all Muslim Brotherhood mosques, which is 80% of them.鈥�

Guandolo the first bill designed to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, which was introduced in 2014 by anti-Muslim champion and now former U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota.

Cruz鈥� 2017 bill is similar to Bachman鈥檚, and may have been influenced by the former presidential candidate鈥檚 friend and advisor Frank Gaffney.

Pressure from the anti-Muslim movement for this designation has only increased since the election. A new coalition of mostly anti-Muslim religious figures, dubbed 鈥�Faith Leaders of America,鈥� descended upon the National Press Club the day before Trump鈥檚 inauguration to implore him to take action on the Muslim Brotherhood. Part of the coalition鈥檚 鈥渃all to prayer鈥� read, 鈥淲hen you label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, we support you.鈥澛�

Trump鈥檚 initial executive actions, amounting to a Muslim immigration ban, were an attempt to control Muslims鈥� comings and goings to the United States. His rumored future action on the Muslim Brotherhood is aimed at American Muslims and controlling them while at the same time continuing to demonize Islam.

As J.M. Berger, a counterterrorism analyst at George Washington University鈥檚 Program on Extremism recently , 鈥淟et me be extremely clear. This initiative is concerned with controlling American Muslims, not with any issue pertaining to the Muslim Brotherhood in any practical or realistic sense.鈥�
