On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order designating Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Three weeks later, Qatar—considered the world hub for the Muslim Brotherhood—hosted two major international conferences. The 23rd Doha Forum drew 6,000 participants, including Bill Gates, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Jr., Hillary Clinton, and Tom Barrack. One week later, the United Nations’ Eleventh Conference on Corruption (CoSP11) brought representatives worldwide to discuss transparency and ethical governance in Doha.

The paradox reveals the success of Doha’s da’wa—the Muslim Brotherhood’s nearly century-old methodology for power. Originally an Arabic term meaning “invitation” or “call,” referring to the Islamic practice of inviting people to understand and embrace Islam, often through preaching, teaching, or missionary work, the MB’s political Islam has transformed this concept into a political act.

As the Foundation for Defense of Democracies observed in its October 2025 report, the Brotherhood has “matched its rigid Islamist ideology with tactical flexibility.” Beyond its economic power in real estate and business buyouts in the West, Qatar has mechanized soft power there by using sophisticated media, political, and diplomatic operations to capture world leadership and the publics now willfully blind to its da’wa operation.

Al-Banna’s Blueprint: The Three-Stage Strategy

Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in March 1928 with the motto: “Allah is our goal. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Death in the service of Allah is our highest desire.” His 1943 Risālat al-Taʿālīm formalized three stages:

At-Taʿrīf – Introduction through da’wa (invitation/outreach)
At-Takwīn – Formation through tarbiya (education) and tanzīm
(organization) At-Tanfīdh – Execution through ‘amal (action)

If he is going to go after the muslims, then the first step is going to be to close all the mosques, which are many, owned and used to support the muslim brotherhood. They send money home to Saudi every year and many of the mosques not owned by them are sending money to the mosques that do.

Here in Washington state the mosque in Seattle, Idris Mosque, was built by funds from the MBH, Sheikh Abdul Kadir Idriss in Saudi, and the one in Tacoma sends funds to them to go home with it in their charter that if they close Seattle gets everything.

Washington State Law: Under the Washington Nonprofit Corporation Act (RCW 24.03A.906), any remaining assets of a dissolving charitable corporation must be applied and distributed consistently with the organization’s stated charitable purposes. Another mosque falls under that law. And by the time anything other than the building could be taken, it will already be in Seattle.
