It will also allow for \u201cincreased enforcement\u201d against both groups.\n<\/p>\n<p>It is encouraged to see Florida take action against these groups and radical Islam, especially considering the actions of the Muslim Brotherhood within the state\u2019s borders. In late November, RAIR Foundation USA revealed that a Florida educator, also the daughter and granddaughter of senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders, has been using her position, her influence, and taxpayer vouchers to advance the Islamic group\u2019s goals in the state.\n<\/p>\n<p>From RAIR Foundation USA:\n<\/p>\n<p>Magda Elkadi Saleh is not just a principal at Florida\u2019s Bayaan Academy; she is the heir to one of the most powerful Muslim Brotherhood dynasties ever established in the United States. A co-founder of the Universal Academy of Florida and former head of the American Youth Academy, Saleh stands at the forefront of a multigenerational project to reshape America into an Islamic nation. Her work directly advances the vision of her\u00a0late\u00a0father, Ahmed Elkadi, a pivotal U.S. Brotherhood leader and\u00a0disgraced\u00a0physician.\n<\/p>\n<p>Most Americans have never heard of the Elkadi family. Yet they are one of the most powerful, multigenerational Muslim Brotherhood dynasties ever established on American soil, and their operations have taken root in one of the most conservative states in the country: Florida. For more than half a century, the Elkadi patriarchs and matriarchs built and led the very institutions identified in the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s own Explanatory Memorandum as tools for a long-term \u201ccivilizational jihad\u201d: Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), the American Muslim Council, and the Islamic Centers Cooperative Fund.\n<\/p>\n<p>And in Florida, Magda Elkadi Saleh has been allowed to operate, expand, and embed her Brotherhood-aligned institutions with the full cooperation of legislators who have aided and abetted her network, directing taxpayer dollars into her schools, publicly celebrating her, and granting her a legitimacy she could never have achieved on her own.<\/p>\n<p>Magda Elkadi Saleh currently serves as the principal of Bayaan Academy (an Islamic religious school) and the overseer of refugee resettlement through Radiant Hands. She is also a senior figure in the Islamic State of North America, the Council of Islamic Schools of North America, and the Islamic Society of Latin America. She is also deeply tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. Both of her parents were heavily involved with the group, and both of her grandfathers were reportedly early Brotherhood leaders in Egypt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Magda has reportedly confirmed that she is furthering the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s goals. She has stressed previously that the mission of Islamic educators is to orient American society toward Islamic values. This lines of with the Brotherhood\u2019s long-term goal of reshaping Western societies through education, youth, and institutions.\n<\/p>\n<p>Magda\u2019s Bayaan Academy, like many other Islamic schools, is also teaching Sharia law, which RAIR defines as \u201cthe divine legal and ethical framework derived from the Quran and Sunnah that governs\u00a0<em>every facet\u00a0<\/em>of Muslim life, including worship, family relations, business ethics, criminal law, judicial procedure, public administration, governmental structures, etc.\u201d Bayaan may not name Sharia on its website, but it\u2019s still teaching it as long as it\u2019s teaching Islam. As RAIR notes, \u201cTo teach Islam authentically is to teach Sharia, as it forms the inseparable core of Islam.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Sharia is, as RAIR puts it, \u201ccompletely incompatible with America\u2019s system of freedom as espoused by the U.S. Constitution.\u201d Florida and Texas know this, which is why they\u2019ve taken action against CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. Let\u2019s pray for more states to take action radical Islam!\n<\/p>\n<p><em>IFA covered the dangers of Islam on a recent First Friday webcast.
