1001 - Signed into Law

[Classic Conservative]

Smart idea, I'd also add Hamas, Hezbuallah, and Al Quida.

Well Gentlemen, since we are run by US law that means according from my knowledge that Hamas, Hizbollah and Al-Qaeda are already designated terrorist organizations while The Muslim Brotherhood is not.

personally i'm not a fan of sucking up to dictatorships, but ymmv i guess.

This bill, Ms. Evergreen is not meant to suck up to the tyrannical dictatorships of Russia and Saudi Arabia, rather it is to say we stand in solidarity with the working people and minorities of Egypt and other countries in North Africa after the countless terrorist attacks, hate crimes and human tragedies committed by the Muslim Brotherhood over the few years in which they controlled the state of Egypt.

Any thoughts from any of our other congresscritters?

[Classic Conservative]

I am of course appalled by the actions of this group but, I am quite reluctant to designate all MB nations and all of their supporters under this wide brush. I feel we could lose our place at the bargaining table and further damage the people this bill is said to protect. I would be in support of part three, as long as it focuses solely on the organization and its development and not on humanitarian causes to nations that may have supporters of it as leaders.

There are NO nations under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood. It has already been banned by a large portion of Sunni States including their former stronghold of Egypt. This bill also focuses solely on the leaders and terrorists who go under the banner of this organization not under the general public who may just have membership in this organization. Let's face it we shouldn't be funding any foreign organization at all when we have a horrible budget situation right now.

the working people of egypt, mr. conservative, elected the muslim brotherhood to power in their most recent democratic elections, in case you haven't forgotten. and it is arguable whether their actions have caused more harm than the preceding or succeeding regimes.

and this bill is not only morally unsound, but also strategically unsound, as it would inevitably stir up more anti-atlasian sentiment among the people of the middle east.

And the people revolted, Ms. Evergreen and his government was removed from office and this organization was banned.

I motion for a final vote.

[Classic Conservative]

I believe that there is still debate going on, and I am reluctant to move to a final vote already.

There hasn't been any debate on this issue in almost two days. We have to get moving, Mr. Speaker. We are not going to be a lame duck congress. The people elected us to do our job let's do it and then move on to other important issues including Zika, Tax Reform, Regulatory Reform, Criminal Justice Reform, Blood Donation and Foreign Affairs.

[Classic Conservative]

For all Representatives it's worth noting that the Muslim Brotherhood is actually not classed as a terrorist group by several important groups Including the ADL

The Muslim Brotherhood are an awful group who promote a backwards ideology that counters Atlasia's proud values- however this debate isn't on whether we agree. It's whether our two chambers believe they're a terrorist group.

I've yet to see any evidence

"The Muslim Brotherhood no longer openly conducts terrorist operations; it is primarily a political organization that supports terrorism and terrorist causes. Many of its members, however, have engaged in terrorist activities and the group has spawned numerous terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
2002: Suspected in suicide bombing in Grozny.
1979:   Suspected in attacking Syrian military academy in Aleppo. 50 Syrian artillery cadets killed"

While the MB, does not still carry out terror attacks they are supporting terrorism both financially and through it membership. We should not allow financiers of terrorism still allow to operate and act freely while giving money and support to groups that kill Atlasians and innocent civilians across the Middle East. And the last actual terror attack was just 13 or 14 years ago.

Then putting Blair is lol, because he's partisan towards the other side.
