CONTROVERSIAL HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISER DEFENDS USE OF MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD-ASSOCIATED ICON ON HIS TWITTER PROFILE

An adviser to the Department of Homeland Security — who was recently promoted — is defending his use of the controversial “R4BIA” four-finger salute symbol associated with the Muslim Brotherhood as decor on his Twitter profile, a choice that elicited criticism on Sunday on the social media site and from one Israeli blog.
