The Jihadi threat is alive and active

 

For the past several weeks, the focus has been primarily on domestic and foreign affairs. The issue of Islamist terrorism has more or less fallen off the media radar. That is a mistake.
The public needs to be continually informed about the activities and intents of the jihadi organizations that reside within America as well as in Europe. 
They continue to be quite active, and many plots have been foiled. However,  there seems to be no major reporting regarding those activities.
The following two posts discuss the ongoing homegrown domestic threat and an organization that has a significant presence in America.
There are two added related links at the end.

Homegrown Terror Threats Increasing, as Intel Finds Foreign Born Citizen-Jihadists Are Plotting Attacks Across America
By Geller Report Staff - on July 11, 2018

Homegrown terrorism is a rising threat in America, as intel officials report arresting or convicting at least nine foreigners living in this country for terror-tied charges in just the past few weeks.
Most of these cases have gone forth quietly in the courts, with little mainstream media fanfare.
But cases of Islamic extremism in America are a rising threat, according to House Homeland Security Committee reports in recent weeks.
Remember September 2016, when three terror attacks hit the United States in one day?  
(emphasis mine)

Intelligence and police agencies warn more of the same could be on the way.
From the Washington Free Beacon:

Jihadist threats from homegrown terrorists in America continue to increase each month, with at least nine foreign born individuals living in the United States arrested or convicted in June of attempting to launch attacks on behalf of ISIS and other global terrorist organizations, according to newly released information by Congress.
“Cases of homegrown Islamist extremism in the U.S. continue to be an issue of concern,” according to the House Homeland Security Committee’s monthly report of terrorism in America, which has been tracking an increase in homegrown jihadists for some time. “Since 2013, there have been 154 homegrown jihadist cases in the United States” from at least 30 different states.    continue

Congress Renews Push to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as Terror Group
Rep. DeSantis: 'The Muslim Brotherhood is a malevolent force, and American policy needs to reflect this truth'

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are renewing a years-long push to designate the international Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist organization due to its support for terror organizations that threaten U.S. security interests across the globe, according to conversations with U.S. officials spearheading the effort.

The congressional effort to target the Muslim Brotherhood will kick off early Wednesday, when lawmakers on the House's Subcommittee on National Security gather for a hearing to "examine the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates pose to the United States and its interests and how to most effectively counter it, including potential next steps for U.S. policy," according to the committee.

The hearing is expected to set the stage for Congress to follow through on efforts that begun in 2015 to convince the Obama administration to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group following its violent, and eventually failed, takeover in Egypt.

The State Department has opposed formal designation of the Brotherhood for some time due to efforts by the Obama administration to make diplomatic overtures to the group, particularly during its coup in Egypt. Although the Trump administration has designated various offshoots of the Brotherhood as global terror groups, the organization as a whole has escaped U.S. scrutiny.

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), the National Security Subcommittee's chair, told the Washington Free Beacon that U.S. policy has failed to address the Brotherhood's radical behavior and support for terror groups. Multiple countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have already designated the Brotherhood as a terror group.

"The Muslim Brotherhood is a malevolent force, and American policy needs to reflect this truth," DeSantis told the Free Beacon. "Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization is overdue." continue
