Raising a Jihadi Generation: Understanding the Muslim Brotherhood Movement in America

“Raising a Jihadi Generation needs to be in the hands of every police officer in America.” - Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy“Members of the government’s national security agencies who read Raising a Jihadi Generation, and who are wise enough to keep it nearby as a handy reference, will be far better equipped to protect the United States.” - Andrew C. McCarthyFormer Chief Assistant United States Attorney, Southern District of New YorkSenior Fellow, National Review InstituteBestselling author, most recently, of Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy“John Guandolo is a national treasure.”Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, U.S. Army (retired)Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (2003-2007)Founding Member and Commander, U.S. Army Delta Force******Raising a Jihadi Generation is the first of its kind to examine the history, writings and practical implementation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic plan to overthrow the United States and the impact on the security of all Americans at the local level.It focuses on tools for professionals in the law enforcement, intelligence, and military communities. It must be understood that the Muslim Brotherhood in America prepares the ground for, supports, and facilitates jihadi operations.Once the information provided in this handbook is understood, it necessarily gives security and intelligence professionals a factual basis to address the enemy, changes what constitutes reasonable suspicion/probable cause, and transforms how this threat is approached and addressed.As this Handbook makes clear, the Muslim Brotherhood has operatives in our federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, our military, but, most importantly, advising our senior leadership in our national security apparatus.This problem is much more a counterintelligence and espionage problem than it is a counterterrorism problem.Once the control the Muslim Brotherhood has within the U.S. government’s decision-making process is understood, it becomes clear America faces an insurgency inside our homeland, which requires a very different response, especially from local law enforcement. In a counterinsurgency, the focus of the main effort is at the local level. Local police, working together with their local council, are the first line of defense against this enemy. But first you must have an educated andenergized local populous.It is our hope you will read and study what is contained herein. The information has been broken down in a usable form without losing the real depth of thought and effort by our adversary. This is an enemy who iscunning, patient, well-supported and well-organized.To underestimate this enemy is to lose the war.
