MSA Still At Large

Although they portray themselves as more religious and fraternal than political, the Muslim Students Association (MSA) is frequently so politicized that in days of yore it might be called subversive. “As revealed in documents seized by the FBI and entered as evidence in a Texas court, the Muslim Students Association is a legacy project of the Muslim Brotherhood,” the Terrorism Awareness Project reports. “The Brotherhood is an organization formed by a Hitler-admiring Muslim named Hasam al-Bannain Egypt in 1928.”
“It was designed to function as the spearpoint of the Islamo-fascist movement and its crusade against the West.” The Terrorism Awareness Project (TAP) is a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
As the TAP report shows, MSA chapters are more visible on secular campuses than the Knights of Columbus chapters are on Catholic ones. Indeed, the MSA may be more visible on Catholic campuses than the venerable Catholic K of C fraternity is.
“Established in January 1963 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada, or MSA (also known as MSA National) currently has chapters on nearly 600 college campuses across North America,” TAP has tallied.
The TAP report, The Muslim Students Association and the Jihad Network, came out this year. “An influential member of the International ANSWER steering committee, MSA maintains a large presence at ANSWER-sponsored anti-war demonstrations,” the report reads. “The pro-North Korea, pro-Saddam Hussein ANSWER is a front organization of the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party.”
“Local chapters of MSA signed a February 20, 2002 document, composed by the radical group Refuse & Resist (a creation of the Revolutionary Communist Party) condemning military tribunals and the detention of immigrants apprehended in connection with post-9/11 terrorism investigations.”

"Numerous previous posts have identified past interaction of U.S. government agencies
with the U.S. Brotherhood including State and the FBI.
Should the DHS prediction of increased interaction prove accurate,
it is likely that the Brotherhood will enjoy further influence over U.S. counter-terrorism policy.”
