On the Muslim Brotherhood and MSA

Here's a report from NEFA on the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. It outlines how the Brotherhood is concerned with a grand, "civilizational jihad." This is taken from the Brotherhood's own documents:
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.
It mentions how the MSA is part of this jihad. Looking at the actions of the MSA in this light, one can actually understand them. The MSA has established groups at many Canadian universities which receive funding from these universities to carry out their activities. This should be stopped.

(I've heard the term the "Great Jihad" to describe this process, as it has been observed. Now that we have the actual term for it from these jihadists themselves, perhaps we use the "Grand Jihad" instead. Point to their own foundational texts if someone inquires about the sensibility of the term.)
