Texas Education Freedom Accounts are poised to send $10,800+ per child (more for special needs) to schools led by Hamed Ghazali—a figure named in the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum,” who in the late ’80s promoted jihadi recruitment/fundraising tapes and amplified networks that later fed al-Qaeda/Hamas. If this stands, taxpayers—including Christian families—subsidize an ideological infrastructure the Brotherhood itself described as its educational war machine.

📡 CONTEXT — HOW WE GOT HERE
Step 1 (1988): Jihad goes public in U.S. mosques.
Ghazali’s “Ghazali Islamic Video” circulates recruitment and fundraising appeals in American Islamic centers, platforming aides tied to Abdullah Azzam (bin Laden’s mentor), praising Americans who leave to fight, and soliciting “weapons support.” Appeals reference the Occupied Land Fund—the precursor to Holy Land Foundation (later convicted for funding Hamas).
Step 2 (1991): Named in the Brotherhood plan.
The Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum outlines a “civilization-jihad” strategy in North America—explicitly identifying education, youth, and community institutions as tools. Hamed Ghazali is named within that educational architecture.
Step 3 (2000s–2020s): From jihad tapes to school leadership.
Ghazali migrates into Islamic education leadership: ISNA/MAS orbit, MASCIS chair, curriculum/training across North America; now Houston Quran Academy and related projects—same person, rebranded as school administrator.
Step 4 (2026–27): Texas voucher money hits.
Under Education Freedom Accounts, schools can bill $10,800+ per student (up to $30,000 for special-needs). Ghazali tells local press he’ll raise tuition to the voucher, turning every seat into a state-subsidized revenue stream.
Step 5: State tools now exist.
Gov. Greg Abbott has designated the Muslim Brotherhood (and CAIR) as foreign terror / transnational criminal organizations at the state level, enabling asset holds, funding blocks, and investigations—and RAIR Foundation USA has delivered an evidentiary dossier to the Governor.
⚠️ THREAT PROFILE — WHY THIS ISN’T JUST “RELIGIOUS SCHOOLING”
1) Ideological hardening of minors
A K-12 ecosystem shaped by a man who promoted jihad recruitment, Hamas fundraising vectors, and the Brotherhood’s doctrine is not neutral pedagogy—it’s civilizational contest via classrooms.
2) State-subsidized movement building
Voucher dollars don’t just pay tuition—they expand facilities, staff, and reach, compounding the network’s long-game institutional power.
3) Networked risk
Touchpoints with ISNA/MAS and other MB-linked bodies present later funnels for radicalization, fundraising, and political pressure—now scaffolded by taxpayer funds.
🛠️ RESPONSE PACKAGE — WHAT TEXAS SHOULD DO (NOW)
Cut the money
Bar EFA funds from any school with demonstrated ties to MB/Hamas-linked entities or individuals explicitly named in the Explanatory Memorandum.
Require open-books audits (beneficial owners, related-party transactions, vendor lists) for all voucher-recipient schools; non-compliance = immediate de-enrollment.
Investigate the network
Use the state designation to launch criminal/financial investigations into Ghazali’s organizations.
Map flows (tuition, grants, donations), governance (boards, affiliates), and content (curriculum, guest speakers, off-campus programming).
Scrutinize property acquisitions and partner schools for front-entity patterns.
Protect families from coerced complicity
Provide opt-out guarantees so Christian and other families are not forced (via tax/tuition mechanics) to subsidize MB-aligned education.
Make religious-school disclosures mandatory: governance, affiliations, and curriculum standards—before accepting a single voucher dollar.
Tighten the program
Add eligibility certifications: no funds where individuals named in designated networks hold leadership, ownership, or material influence.
Publish a public recipient registry with annual audit summaries.
🛰️ WHAT TO WATCH — INDICATORS OF RISK OR CAPTURE
Sudden tuition hikes to match the voucher at targeted schools.
Affiliate reshuffles (shell boards, new DBAs) concurrent with voucher rollout.
Litigation to block audits/transparency.
Coordinated PR campaigns framing scrutiny as “religious persecution” while dodging substantive disclosures.
🧭 LINES WE HOLD (CHRISTIAN, CONSTITUTIONAL, LAWFUL)
No taxpayer subsidy for hostile ideological projects.
One law for all: transparent books, lawful curriculum standards, and zero tolerance for terror-linked networks—no exceptions.
Parental choice ≠ public funding for civilizational subversion.
🧠 SDN ANALYSIS — JON WHEATON
The Muslim Brotherhood told us the plan: build schools, youth programs, and community institutions to reshape the culture from the inside. Hamed Ghazali is not an incidental name—he’s on their page, by their hand, with a taped history of amplifying jihad networks—and now sits astride Texas voucher eligibility.
A Christian nation that funds this funds its replacement. This isn’t about persecuting Muslims—it’s about refusing to underwrite a movement that openly declares it will conquer, not assimilate. Texas has evidence and legal tools. If the pipeline stays open, it’s not ignorance—it’s cowardice.
Information is survival. Act accordingly.
Godspeed
