A member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet ruffled feathers anew as he addressed the impact a “death cult” ideology allegedly linked to a Senate nominee has had on Arab societies.
On top of the concern about Marxist policies peddled by the left, recent elections have found Islamists who sympathize with terrorists thrust into the national spotlight with real potential to get a foothold in the halls of American government.
During a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, supporting former Rep. Mike Rogers’ senatorial campaign and Rep. John James’ gubernatorial campaign on Monday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and its ideology that he concluded brought an end to Arab-Muslim contributions in art and science.
Deemed racist and bigoted by the same folks who would deny the ideological incompatibility of Islam and the West and who refuse to acknowledge efforts to institute Sharia beyond Muslim-majority nations, Kennedy asserted that while the Muslim “golden age” of art and science spanned a millennium, it came to a close with the Islamist-led Muslim Brotherhood.
“That’s why you don’t see any Muslims — any Arab-Muslims winning — there’s 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don’t produce science, they don’t win the Nobel Prize, they don’t win the Field Prize, they don’t win the Wolf Prize, they don’t produce literature,” argued the secretary. “All of that tradition has been destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood. They’ve created stagnant societies that do … hatred and war and victimization. They’ve let down their own people and destroyed those societies.”

Kennedy began his remarks in part by saying, “I’m happy that I came in when Mike Rogers was talking about the Muslim Brotherhood … It’s something that I’ve studied a lot in my life. I know a lot more about it than I think most people do, and I know how dangerous it is.”
“And I wanna say this. Talking about the Muslim Brotherhood is not Islamophobia,” he said, getting ahead of the inevitable criticisms he would face. “The Muslim Brotherhood started in 1928 and launched a new ideology that departed from traditional Islam in a very, very dangerous way.”
While he labeled the actions of Islamists against Christians and Jews in the Middle East as genocide, a point supported by — as scholar Raymond Ibrahim notes — the United Nations own Genocide Convention, Kennedy specified that the worst victims are actually those living inside the nations under Muslim Brotherhood control, calling it a “death cult.”
The secretary’s remarks followed Trump’s own warning about El-Sayed during his trip to Michigan over the weekend, where he emphasized the concerning ties of the nominee’s family members to Islamist organizations, asserted a victory would demand a metal detector screening be required for El-Sayed’s entry into government buildings and stated, “Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed wants our Country to go to Sharia Law.”
Predictably, backlash ensued over Kennedy’s views on the Muslim Brotherhood’s impact on the Arab world after he also described El-Sayed as the “living template” of the red-green alliance.
As many such efforts ignored the secretary’s points about the centuries that preceded the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood and gave examples that included those of Arab descent raised in the United States, a Turning Point USA spokesman was among those supporting Kennedy’s remarks with the post, “Truth nuke. Dare one of their apologists to try and refute what the man said.”
