The main plaintiff in the Hawaii case blocking President Trump’s revised temporary travel ban is an imam with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The irony is hard to miss: Trump has talked about declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, and now it is a Brotherhood-backed imam who is playing a key role in blocking his executive order on immigration.
Imam Ismail Elshikh, 39, leads the largest mosque in Hawaii and claims he is suffering “irreparable harm” from the president’s executive order, which places a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. from six countries.
One of those six countries is Syria. Elshikh’s mother in law is Syrian and would not be able to visit her family in Hawaii for 90 days if Trump’s ban were allowed to go into effect.

The article says Trump has been talking about declaring the MB a terrorist Org?
Well either the shoe fits or it doesnt.
I support Trump, but when it comes to this stuff he really needs to act, rather than vent on social media.
Perhaps Trump may now take the steps in recognizing the MB as a Terrorist Organization, so then the Imam will no longer be the plaintiff.

Agreed he needs to declare it as soon as possible. The big question is: Is it possible? He can't even get a 90 day stay on people from only 7 Islamic countries entering our country without being undermined by the radical extremist left!

exactly!
The way I look at it - Yes, put the travel ban in place, sort out the immigration issues and do more screening on the refugees already in country and the ones petitioning to come in.
That 3 months gives the USA ample time to get things in order before taking in more refugees.
Once that 3 months is up, lift the ban, bring in the refugees that passed the revamped screening process and start implementing any changes or what not that have been found during the past 3 months.
Whats the worse that can happen during those 3 months?

It's not the 'radical extremist left' that's causing problems for Donald. It's that pesky Constitution. If he could get rid of that he could muzzle the press, jail everyone that opposes him, dismantle the judiciary, and run this country the way he really wants to --- like a real dictatorship.

The Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Anwar Sadat, so it makes sense that Egypt would consider them terrorists.
Why the Obama administration didn't? Might want to look at Valerie Jarrett and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Oh really? You're talking about the guy that 'knows more than everyone else'? Knows more than the Generals, more than the intelligence community, more than scientists, all the opposing views are 'fake news', all people who oppose him are derided in one way or another. Yet he repeatedly spews forth demonstrably false information. Lies incessantly. And we're supposed to trust this guy's judgement to make everything 'great again''??? You are self-deluded. Look at the facts. Don't be sucked-in by your own personal agenda and prejudices.
