Excerpt
The month of June was bookended by a handful of Molotov cocktails. The results will not benefit the Muslim Brotherhood.
On June 1, an Egyptian national hurled the incendiary bombs at Jewish activists at Boulder, Colorado. On June 30, an 82-year-old victim died of her wounds. The assailant, who had demonstrated allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood, now faces two counts of first-degree murder.
The attack ignited a bipartisan effort to designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Yet lawmakers in both parties seem to forget a critical piece of the Brotherhood puzzle: Qatar.
