Former President Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denounced the Muslim Brotherhood as a ‘death cult’ during a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, alongside Republican candidates John James and Mike Rogers. The speech, held on Monday, was part of a broader effort to highlight the group’s radical ideology and its impact on the Middle East.
Calling Out Radical Islam
Kennedy asserted that criticizing the Muslim Brotherhood is not Islamophobia but a necessary discourse on its radical ideology. ‘Talking about the Muslim Brotherhood is not Islamophobia,’ he declared, emphasizing the group’s founding in 1928 and its deviation from traditional Islamic teachings.
Genocide and Stagnation
Kennedy accused the Muslim Brotherhood of a ‘real genocide’ in the Middle East, citing the near-eradication of Jewish and Christian communities. ‘There were 950,000 Jews in Arab lands in 1948, but today there are maybe a couple hundred,’ he said, listing the decline in Jewish populations across Egypt, Iraq, and other regions.
Impact on Middle Eastern Christians
The speech also addressed the decline of Christianity in the Middle East, noting that the region’s Christian populations have plummeted from 20% to 4% over the past decades. ‘These are genocides,’ Kennedy stated, underscoring the group’s role in the displacement and persecution of religious minorities.
Islamism and the Future of the Region
Kennedy argued that the rise of Islamism has stifled the progress of the Middle East, contrasting it with the ‘Golden Age’ of Islamic civilization. ‘That is the core of the Muslim Brotherhood’s toxic ideology: a hatred of Jews, a hatred of America, and a hatred of all Western civilization,’ he warned.
Systemic Purges and Ideology
Kennedy claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology is deeply embedded in the region’s religious institutions, including Al-Azhar University. ‘It’s in the charter documents, it’s in the lectures of the imams; it’s in the sermons; it’s in the teachings at Al-Azhar university,’ he said, highlighting the group’s pervasive influence.
