The Qatar Foundation, funded by the ruling Al Thani royal family, is reported to have invested more than $20 billion into various American colleges and educational institutions. This funding is claimed to be part of a long-term strategy by the Muslim Brotherhood to gain influence within the United States, according to a report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP).

Dr. Charles Asher Small, the executive director of ISGAP, stated that the Qatari royal family has a spiritual commitment to the Muslim Brotherhood, which purportedly drives their financial contributions to U.S. educational systems, including K-12 schools and cultural institutions. The report suggests that the total funding could be significantly higher than the reported amount, potentially reaching $100 billion, as ISGAP has only examined a limited number of universities.

Among the institutions receiving substantial funding, Cornell University is noted to have received approximately $10 billion. Other universities, such as Georgetown University and Texas A&M, have also received significant financial support, with Georgetown reportedly receiving over $1 billion for programs in social sciences and Middle East studies.

Texas A&M has been linked to a contract with the Qatar Foundation that involves funding for over 500 research projects at its Qatar campus, which was established in 2003. The contract reportedly grants the Qatar Foundation intellectual property rights to the research conducted there. Texas A&M has stated that no sensitive or national security-related research is conducted at this campus, although ISGAP has called for an investigation into the nature of some projects, which they claim have dual-use applications for military purposes.

The report also highlights the role of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) as a significant channel for the Muslim Brotherhood's influence on U.S. college campuses. The MSA operates on over 600 campuses nationwide and is alleged to collaborate with groups like Students for Justice in Palestine to further its objectives.

ISGAP's report, titled "The Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Entryism into Western Society: A Systematic Analysis," argues that the Muslim Brotherhood is making significant progress in embedding its ideology within American society. The organization has called for the U.S. government to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization to counteract its influence.

In response to these claims, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has designated both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as terrorist organizations. The report raises concerns about the implications of foreign funding on democratic values and the integrity of educational institutions, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding such financial influences.
