Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part column. Read "Banning the Muslim Brotherhood: A Good Start, Part 1" here.

There are many questions surrounding banning the Muslim Brotherhood and designating it and its affiliates as terrorist organizations. What does the designation mean? What impact will it have? And what could be the possible roadblocks ahead? Why has the Muslim Brotherhood not yet been outlawed more broadly, and what needs to be done to do so?

It's critical to expose the avenues that the Muslim Brotherhood has exploited to breach the West. They have been surprisingly successful in identifying weaknesses in the freedoms (which the West celebrates as its strengths) of the West to use against these very countries. This includes infiltration of the highest levels of government and policymakers, the legal system, academia, and the media.

In addition to this, the Brotherhood has a scary and surprisingly vast economic influence, which is also global. A trusted source and expert shared that the Brotherhood is a global network of 300K scholars and a global network with "legitimate" front companies that have created their own alternative economy. They then work together to control markets and industries. It is not only college campuses and academia, or the political sphere. They are experts in obtaining soft power and forcing society into the mold they desire.

Leaders and institutions........
