What RFK, Jr. Said About The Red-Green Alliance In One Crucial Senate Race

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke about the Muslim Brotherhood at a Kent County Republican event in Grand Rapids backing Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers, who faces Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Daily Wire opinion writing praises his willingness to discuss the subject candidly but faults him on two points.

Kennedy called the Brotherhood a death cult built on victimhood, murder, and genocide, and said societies under its influence have stagnated. He regretted how few Christians remain in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, and noted the Arab world's thin scientific and literary record next to that of Israel.

The writer disputes his praise of the Golden Age of Islam as a product of the Muslim religion. In this telling, the early conquerors were desert warriors who depended on Christian, Jewish, and Persian scholars and administrators in the lands they seized, and many conversions were driven by tax and legal incentives. The writer also rejects Kennedy's view of the Brotherhood as a departure from traditional Islam, arguing that the group sees itself as returning to the faith's sources, and that the term Islamism is a Western invention.
