ISGAP Report Alleges Muslim Brotherhood Halfway Through 100-Year Plan for Western Society

Washington, D.C. – A new report released by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) on November 19, 2025, warns that the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is 50 years into a century-long strategy to influence Western society from within. The comprehensive 200-page analysis, titled "The Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Entryism into Western Society: A Systematic Analysis," details the alleged embedding of the group's ideology within American universities and public institutions. The report was presented at a policy event in Washington, D.C., and calls for the U.S. government to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

The ISGAP report identifies campus networks, including Muslim Students Association (MSA) chapters across hundreds of schools and the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) ecosystem, as key vehicles for this strategy. Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founding Director of ISGAP and co-author, stated, "We are now fifty years into the Brotherhood’s 100-year plan to entrench themselves into key institutions in the United States and other western societies to undermine and destroy our democracy." He added that the Brotherhood exploits democratic freedoms to erode them from within.

The analysis tracks ideological and financial support for these networks back to Qatar, asserting that the state exports its worldview through funding, education, and media influence. Dalia Ziada, ISGAP Washington Coordinator and co-author, emphasized, "It is an organized, multi-generational project to manipulate Western democracies and silence moderate Muslim voices, often powered by the ideological and financial backing of Qatar." The report also highlights how the same movement that produced Hamas has been shaping student politics for years.

ISGAP's findings are based on authenticated internal documents, including "The Project" (1982) and "The Explanatory Memorandum" (1991), which outline the movement's long-term plan for the West. The report argues that the Brotherhood meets statutory criteria for FTO designation due to its ideological and financial continuity with Hamas and other terrorist entities. It presents documented links between Brotherhood-affiliated charities and the financing of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The report urges the U.S. government to formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as an FTO, describing it as a crucial initial step to counter its influence. This recommendation follows Texas Governor Greg Abbott's recent designation of both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations on November 18, 2025. The ISGAP report suggests that such a designation would provide a legal framework to constrain Brotherhood-aligned networks and safeguard democratic institutions.
