Imam's Muslim Brotherhood Ties Raise Alarms in Texas

Recent revelations about Imam Yasir Qadhi, a prominent figure at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas, have raised significant concerns among conservative circles.

Qadhi has publicly confirmed his membership in the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), a group known for its connection to the Muslim Brotherhood and its endorsement of militant Islam.


The IUMS has issued a fatwa calling for “armed jihad” against Israel, branding it a religious duty for all capable Muslims.

In a troubling twist, Qadhi's endorsement of this organization, which has been blacklisted by several Arab nations due to its ties to terrorism, aligns with a broader pattern of anti-Western sentiment propagated by influential Islamic leaders.

The group's founder, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, notoriously called for violence against U.S. soldiers and was linked to numerous extremist ideologies before his death in 2022.

Following the brutal October 7 attacks by Hamas, calls from various quarters—including those tied to Qadhi’s network—have sought to gain political traction in the U.S., demanding that President Donald Trump adhere to the demands for peace that target Israel rather than hold accountable the organizations responsible for violence in the region.

Furthermore, recent investigations have disclosed that Hamas has received substantial financial backing from Qatar, further entrenching the ties between extremists and purported humanitarian efforts.

The concern extends beyond foreign policy into the heart of American communities.

Many conservative lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, have echoed these worries, asserting the need for legislative action to counter the influence of organizations like the IUMS.

Cruz plans to reintroduce a “modernized version” of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act.

As these issues resonate within local communities, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle between American values of peace and stability and the threats posed by external and internal forces that seek to undermine them.

As patriotism and accountability echo in the hearts of Americans, it is vital for citizens to stay engaged and informed on these critical matters.

Refusing to be silent in the face of extremism is a stance that all Americans, regardless of their background, can support wholeheartedly.
