Encourages Congress to require the Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

Encourages the United States Congress to require the Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in 1928 with branches and affiliates throughout the Middle East and Africa. Several countries have already designated the Muslim Brotherhood or its affiliates as a terrorist organization. A formal designation by the United States would allow federal authorities to apply statutory tools associated with the designation of a foreign terrorist organization.
