“Yes, our roots are in Muslim Brotherhood. We were and still are Muslim Brotherhood”, Mashal said. “Iran has helped us with weapons and technology. And everyone who helped us, we thank him”.

Muslim Brotherhood is an extremist group founded in Egypt in 1928. The key-backers of the group are Qatar and Turkey, however, as of 2015 the group was declared as a terrorist organization by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia, and Bahrain.

The group’s literature designed by Syed Qutb and Hassan al-Banna is considered as the foundational work for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Abul Ala Maududi is to “Political Islam” what Karl Marx was to Communism

Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979) was an Islamic theologian, a prolific author, and the founder of the political Islamist group Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).

Maududi’s theories helped form the tenets of Qutbism, an ideology that is believed to have influenced numerous violent extremist offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood including Takfir and Hijrah, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and Alshabab.

Maududi insisted that sharia (Hakimya) would eradicate what he referred to as modern jahiliyya, the state of ignorance afflicting the world’s Muslims. Such modern jahiliyya in the form of socialism, secularism, or liberal democracy.

According to Maududi, the only way to defend against jahiliyya was to Islamize society, first by introducing Islamic regulation to politics and economy, and eventually the entire state.

Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb went on to popularize these notions in the 1960s.

In 1960, Maududi wrote in his book The Islamic Law and Constitution about his vision of an Islamic state where “no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private”.

Al Hakimya (الحاكمية) The totalitarianism of God’s sovereignty, Maududi wrote, would “bear a resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states”.

Scholars have adopted the term Islamic-Fascism (Islamist Fascism) or Islamofascism, to describe Maududi’s and others’ Islamist vision.

Saudi Scholar Salih AlFawzan warned of the Hakimya and indicated it is a ploy used by the partisans to serve the agendas of their parties (Muslim Brotherhood).

To most Pakistanis and to those who have been associated with various Islamist political outfits in countries like Egypt, Indonesia, Syria and Malaysia, Abul Ala Maududi is to “Political Islam” what Karl Marx was to Communism.

Maududi’s ideas were eventually adopted by General Ziaul Haq, who had pulled off a successful military coup in July 1977 and then invited Maududi to help him shape policies to help make Pakistan a “true Islamic country” run on “Nizam-e-Mustafa”.

In a way Ziaul Haq was the Pakistani Gamal Abdel Nasser, in the sense he adapted a more contained policy against the Jamaat-e-Islami as Abdul Nasser did with the MB in the beginning of his reign.

To understand more about the Pakistani Geopolitics and President Ziaul Haq refer to the news articles and books between the 70s to late 80s as it will give variable points of views on the Geopolitics of Pakistan and the region at the time.

Why the Ottoman-family built such a great lodge and what’s their connection with Freemasons…

I wasn’t surprised when I heard that “Turkey’s Erdogan is a Freemason belonging to Dömneh secret society”, claimed by Serbian-Yugoslavian Researcher Dejan Lučić.

I have been quite fascinated by these topics for the past 20 years, and in fact I visited the grand Masonic lodge in Hyderabad in 2003, built by the Nizam, father of son-in-law of last Ottoman Sultan Abdulmejid II.

Inside the lodge, I saw David-Stars all over the walls, and various writings in Hebrew, Urdu and Persian languages.

After witnessing the lodge, I was quite inquisitive why the Ottoman-family built such a great lodge and what’s their connection with Freemasons.

After few days, I visited Salarjung Museum of Hyderabad to find some content for the research, and the “Founder’s Gallery” is as clear as the sky that—Nizam was 33rd Degree Freemason. All his attires, special ritualistic swords, and pictures are on public display.

Coincidentally, Adnan Oktar aka Harun Yahya was quite famous those days, and I got my new multimedia computer the same year. So to enjoy the new machine, I used to watch his documentaries and read his books.

There were two books on this subject—”Global Freemasonry” and “The Knight Templars”.

Oktar, who is now a top freemason, dedicated third chapter of the book Global Freemasonry about the rampant masonic presence in Turkey in every system of the society.

In 2015, a video clip of Dr. Raslan of Egypt was viral, where he read official documents in public to expose the connections between Freemasons and Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwanul-Muslimeen.

He quoted Tharwat Kharbawi, former freemason and brotherhood member—who wrote about how the formation and working pattern of MB was laid by Freemasons.

The famous Rabia hand-symbol glorified by Erdogan during 2013 Egypt protests, flashed my mind. Interestingly, the hand symbol was claimed by Masonic groups.

Further, the deception and fraud by MB and Erdogan is quite known to the Muslim world, how MB collaborated with the Obama regime to engineer the so-called “Arab Spring” in Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Bahrain, and Yemen, and tried their hands to mess-up with Saudi Arabia as well, however they lost to the Saudi Security forces and its backing in Bahrain and Egypt.

Erdogan’s deception is evident. On one hand he criticizes Israel, but on the other hand he venerates the grave of Theodore Herzel, founder of modern Zionism.

He calls for Israel’s destruction, and keeps Israeli embassy open in Istanbul.

He calls for the rights of Palestinians, but allows Israelis to get a “free” on-arrival visa, and stay in Turkey for 90-days, while Palestinians have to pay.

He calls for Israel’s destruction, but sends them medical aid and permits their cargo planes.

The list of Erdogan’s deceptions can continue.

The major sign of “Dajjal” is deception, since his name is derived from Dajal which means to fake-up and hide the reality, and this is one of the signs of Dajjalian forces—they work under the facáde. They keep the people busy with their outward claims and work keenly on their sinister agendas.

It seriously upsets me, when I see  people getting easily swayed away by Erdogan and his deceptive agenda, and the kids getting overtly excited by the “return of Ottoman Caliphate in 2023”.

Wake-up from the slumber and see yourself, the real enemy is presented to you as Messiah, and the real friends are character-assasinated day-in and day-out, and don’t fall for the ulterior motives of deceptive forces. Wake up!

Their radicalism has nothing to do with religion or from the followers of mosques

The word “Wahhabism” has always been mentioned in the West for the purpose of linking terrorism and extremism with Saudi Arabia, creating a stigma that holds Saudi Arabia responsible for the extremism of Muslims around the world in the eyes of the western people.

Since Wahhabism is a corrective grass roots school of Islam that has its origins in the Arabian Peninsula and is what they demonstrate as the predominant religious belief in Saudi Arabia shown as the radical sect of Sunni Islam to Western recipients.

And often labeled as the main culprit in the spread of violent extremism and responsible for the waves of destruction and the violence that gave us ISIS, Al Qaeda, and its like minded terrorist movements based on the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the teachings of Sayed Qutob.

The blame for Terrorist attacks on Wahhabism and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia began in the late 1990s in the left-wing Western media in order to brand Saudi Arabia with extremism.

This approach originated from organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Brotherhood’s offshoots in Europe in order to divert attention from the complex political, economic and psychological reasons that result in young vulnerable people joining terrorist groups and, in doing so, it impedes our ability to combat terrorism so as to advance the agendas of the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Indeed mistakes were made and MB scholars used government platforms to promote for violence, but Wahhabism is a label, the anti-Saudi Jihadi Salafist use, and it is a hardline strain of Islamist extremists that encourages the use of violence in achieving domination.

Grass root Salafism was historically non-political and the overwhelming majority of Salafists were not inclined to violence except for the jihadist Salafism that al-Qaeda, Hamas, Nusra Front and other MB offshoots brought us.

Most political Islamists have nothing to do with what is called Saudi Wahhabism. The Taliban, for example, are branches of the extremist Tablighi group, that claim to be anti-imperialist.

Most of Al Qaeda’s members follow a radical teaching that originated from the Muslim Brotherhood, a movement that is largely variable and colorful in its relationship with the West and its values and opposition.

While some terrorists consider themselves Salafist, Islamic sects that are ideologically opposed to Salafism – Naqshbandi Sufi and Shi’a, among others – have engaged in violent jihad in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria under the Al Qaida and ISIS banners. 

However, many Western media and many critics portray a completely different picture of reality and blame it all on what they call the Wahhabi ideology of Saudi Arabia.

These arguments lead one to imagine that Global and Homegrown terrorists end up joining the Islamic State by wandering the streets of Paris or Brussels and finding a mosque funded by Saudi Arabia. In this mosque, where they read one book, “The Book of Monotheism,” by Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, who established the corrective call. 

A week later, the fundamentalists’ message inspires them to travel to the front lines of Syria or plan terrorist attacks in Europe, US or anywhere in the world.

Reality is more complicated. Most of the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks in Europe were young criminals who were known to use alcohol and drug abuse.

Their radicalism has nothing to do with religion or from the followers of mosques and Islamic centers affiliated with MB where they are trained and equipped before embarking on trips to participate in jihad in Syria through Turkey.

What they all share in is the belief that the Islamic world and the West are trapped in a clash of civilizations that cannot be reconciled and that there is no salvation except with the rise of the caliphate.

Likewise, it is incorrect to condemn and describe the Saudis as the backbone of the jihadi groups that have emerged in the Arab world in recent years, as Tunisians represent the largest number of foreign residents in the Islamic state. The group emerged from Iraq. Syria, of course, is a hotbed for jihadists of all stripes. 

However, these countries were until recently ruled by secular dictators, who prevented Saudi missionary activities, and in the case of Iraq and Syria, considered Saudi Arabia an enemy. 

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia participated in missionary activities in India outside the influence of the Tabligh Group, and in coordination with the Indian government contributed to building mosques, schools, and social service centers. However, hardly any jihadists appeared among India’s population of more than 170 million Muslims.

The revival of a politicized form of radical Islam, which had been occurring in the Arab world since the 1970s, was not only driven by ideology, but by the failure of Arab governments to meet the expectations of their residents and the brutal revenge that was used to suppress the demands for better and more transparent governance. Like Abdul Aziz bin Baz Fatwa condemns the suicide operations.

The current mufti, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al Sheikh, records a stand against the Saudis joining groups fighting abroad, and in line with traditional Salafi teachings, he called on all Muslims to remain obedient to the teachings of tolerance and avoid any form of organized religious and political activity.

Blaming Wahhabism or Salafism on violent radicalism is not just an intellectual misstep or injustice to the Salafists, but rather a distortion that hinders the fight against violent extremism and an understanding of its causes.

Any religious ideology espoused by the radicals is often a mask for other issues. Blaming an ideology such as Salafism or destroying it will not end extremism.

“Blood Money” is a punchy and lucid overview of a dirty, hidden aspect of the geopolitical game.

A key weakness of the US’ Middle East stance is its dependence on the location and cooperation of unreliable allies. The region, riven by conflict for millennia, has further been destabilized for years now by one of these US allies – Qatar.

Recently, I circled back to “Blood Money”, Cernovich‘s fantastic short-form documentary on the influence operation being carried out by Qatar in the United States.

Jutting out from the coast of eastern Saudi Arabia into the Persian Gulf, Qatar is a small Middle Eastern nation with an outsized influence. The population is about 2.8 million, but notably, only a little more than 300,000 are actual Qataris. The rest are foreign residents.

From 2000 to 2019, the population has grown more than 387%. All of that growth is from foreigners brought in under the “kafala” migrant system. Qatar is largely a modern nation built on slave labor. The 88% of the population that are non-Qatari are treated differently.

This matters, because Qatar is awash in oil and natgas revenues. The massive underclass suffers. Not so for the native Qataris. With only 300,000 or so Qataris participating in the economy at a high earning level, Qatar has the highest adjusted GDP/capita in the world.

Qatar holds the third-largest known reserves of natural gas, and as of mid-2019, is jockeying with Australia for being the leading natgas exporter in the world. Qatar’s oil and natgas revenues comprise about 60% of its annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – $191B.

Given its minor military budget ($1.91B, or 1% of GDP), Qatar has obviously chosen a different force multiplier for maintaining its relevance. By comparison, China spends 1.9% of its GDP on its military budget. The US is at 3.2%. Qatar’s rival, Saudia Arabia, is at 8.8%.

As can be seen, Qatar does not spend its wealth on an equitable standard of living for all of its subjects. Nor does it secure its agenda through military might. What it does do very, very well is public relations and sponsorship of specific radical Islamic factions.

Qatar is home to the prominent pan-Arab media outlet, Al Jazeera. AJ is partially state-funded by the massive sovereign wealth of Qatar, and carries out aggressive reporting against Israel, KSA, and other Qatari rivals. It will never be critical of the ruling Al-Thanis.

As highlighted throughout “Blood Money” by David Reaboi (especially at 6:20 into the film), the major effort of Qatar’s media efforts is to promote and sustain a radically anti-Western agenda. This great piece by Mr Reaboi provides additional color.

Further, “Blood Money” highlights a second concurrent type of influence operation being carried out by Qatar in the US. Jack Posobiec‘s segment beginning at 2:45 shines a light on a practice little-known by the average American – lobbying specifically for a foreign nation.

Additionally, as J Michael Walker notes at 16:55, major “think tanks” such as @Brookings Institute often receive financial support, in exchange for their efforts to shape policy on specific issues. The dollars are staggering, with $24 million just to Brookings alone.

“Blood Money” is a punchy and lucid overview of a dirty, hidden aspect of the geopolitical game. Cernovich, his production team, David Reaboi, Jack Posobiec, and others perfectly perform the urgent and vital job of highlighting mechanisms of foreign influence operations.

Understand though, “Blood Money” is a jumping-off point. It leaves the viewer begging the question of “why”. Why would Qatar go to such great lengths and expense to influence US policy and public narrative? The answer is complex, but then, the world is rarely simple.

Critical to understanding what follows is for the reader to check their moral biases at the door. The world is often an ugly contest where bare-knuckle power is the only prize that matters. Everything is a weapon, especially where it concerns the cradle of civilization.

By and large, Qatar’s concern to the United States is not its energy production, but its position as an ally that hosts the largest US airbase in the region – Al Udeid Air Base. With more than 11,000 US personnel reportedly stationed there, AUAB is a vital asset.

As with the influence operations highlighted in “Blood Money”, Qatar’s efforts to cozy up to Washington via defense partnerships and materiel purchases is an attempt to keep US support as the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) maintains its embargo on Qatar.

The significance of AUAB cannot be overstated. It hosts the 379th Expeditionary Wing, which is comprised of more than 100 aircraft, including strategic bombers, cargo planes, refuelers, and surveillance/battle management platforms. AUAB also hosts F-22 Raptors.

UAB is a significant part of the US’ posture in the region. Combined with an estimated 15,000 US personnel in Kuwait and another 7,000 at NSA Bahrain, the 11,000 personnel at AUAB represent a large force. The US will overlook a lot to protect that asset.

Qatar relies on the US looking the other way. Aside from its aforementioned terrible treatment of foreign-born labor, Qatar is also one of the primary destabilizing influences in the region. Let’s return to “Blood Money” for a moment, and the brilliant David Reaboi.

Beginning at 6:20, Reaboi outlines how Al Jazeera, the aforementioned state-funded media arm of Qatar, propagandized for the “Arab Spring”. The net effect – in fact, the likely goal – of Qatar’s efforts was to topple US-friendly regimes and install the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood (“MB”), founded in 1928 by Egyptian Imam Hassan al-Banna, is a powerful fundamentalist theocratic Sunni Islamic group. Due to its alleged ties to terrorist groups, several GCC nations have designated the MB as terrorists themselves.

In mid-2017, the issue came to a boil when Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates sanctioned Qatar for its alleged significant financial support of the MB in the Middle East and around the world. The embargo, still ongoing, has fractured the Middle East.

It also had two notable knock-on effects, besides putting the US in the middle of two critical (but problematic) allies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

First, it exposed Qatar’s quiet connections to Iran. Second, it brought Turkey and Qatar into open alignment.

Despite seemingly-major geopolitical and ideological differences, Qatar has quietly nurtured a connection to the cash-poor regime in Tehran. Due to separate sanctions and embargoes, as well as their position inside the Persian Gulf, Iran and Qatar need one another.

Further, they are irrevocably tethered by their shared access to the South Pars/North Field natgas field offshore of Qatar. This is the same natgas field that fuels Qatar’s world-leading per-capita GDP. Iran’s piece of the revenue is estimated at $5b+/yr.

Logistically, Qatar is in the driver’s seat. Their state-owned liquefied natgas shipping company, Nakilat, controls the world’s largest fleet of LNG-carrying ships at 65+ vessels. Additionally, Nakilat has budgeted $12B for 60+ more vessels to be built in South Korea.

Nakilat has enabled Qatar to survive and even thrive during the 2.5-year embargo imposed by the GCC. Iran, comparatively, has a large crude oil tanker fleet, but due to sanctions has had to resort to all manner of illicit smuggling to get Iranian oil to the world markets.

It is in the pragmatic interest of Qatar for Iran to remain somewhat stable. In the event of a shooting war in the region, air and naval power would be rapidly brought to bear. This means air missions out of AUAB, and a possible blockade of the crowded Strait of Hormuz.

A maritime blockade would prevent Qatari natgas from reaching global markets, and trigger buyer demand to shift to Malaysia, Nigeria, Australia, Indonesia, and the US. It would also further bleed Qatar’s foreign exchange reserves, currently only 50th in the world.

And beyond the practical logistics, energy, and financial issues, Qatar also sees merit in Iran’s vast network of political and paramilitary proxies around the world. Despite the Shia/Sunni divide, Iran and Qatar both view Saudi Arabia and Israel with malice.

This “enemy of my enemy is my friend” stance is denied vehemently by both Qatar and Iran. However, as Irina Tsukerman highlights in her very recent, exceptional article on Small Wars, there’s a dark bent to the Qatar/Iran relationship. Bookmark it.

When viewed through the all-encompassing theocratic lens of the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar’s relationship with Iran makes great strategic sense. This same reasoning extends to Qatar’s tacit support of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and overt support of Hamas in Palestine/Israel.

As mentioned above, Qatar is also antagonistic to US-backed governments in the region, including support for the MB’s short-lived reign atop Egypt. And the prominent American think tank Brookings Institute argued for the MB.

Having established Qatar’s deep ties to Iran and the Brotherhood, we must also highlight another critical alliance for Qatar: Turkey. As I noted previously, Turkish president Erdogan aims to reestablish the global Islamic caliphate.

Here again, it is geopolitical realpolitik and ideological kinship that drives the Qatar/Turkey partnership. In fact, the relationship is so staunch that Qatar refuses to reduce its ties to Turkey in exchange for the lifting of the 2017 GCC embargo.

Turkey has played a significant partner role to Qatar: – Assistance in mitigating the impact of the 2017 embargo – Support for the MB’s activities in Syria, Egypt, and elsewhere – Construction of a new Turkish military base in Qatar plus 5,000 troop commitment.

And as with the US’ own base in Incirlik, which Turkey has leveraged many times to manipulate the US, the new Turkish-Qatari base will likely play out similarly as a counterbalance to AUAB and US interests. Qatar has also committed to purchasing 100 Turkish-made tanks.

From an ideological standpoint, both Turkey and Qatar are indeed avid supporters for the MB. However, their common alignment against Saudi Arabia and Israel is the tie that binds. Qatar’s antipathy to both is well-established. However, Turkey is just as hostile.

As “exclusively” reported in the Middle East Eye – a London-based media outlet founded by former Al Jazeera bigwigs – the Saudis are accused of crafting a strategic plan to “take Turkey down”. Let’s dig into MEE and anti-Saudi news quickly.

The MEE allegedly has strong ties to various MB proxies, and has been blocked in KSA and United Arab Emirates for MEE’s very pro-Qatar/Turkey editorial bent. Notably, Jamal Kashoggi, the infamously-murdered Saudi national, wrote for the MEE before joining the WaPo’s staff.

The Kashoggi murder in late 2018 is an ordeal worth its own thread, and has been extensively covered in many places by better minds. The upshot is that it tilted Turkey firmly against KSA, and set the US at odds with KSA as well. Qatar and Turkey both benefitted from this.

Returning once again to the titular “Blood Money”, we see that Qatar runs an extremely advanced media and human-capital influence operation that spans the US, Europe, and MENA region. Not just Al Jazeera, but also MEE, numerous think-tanks, NGO’s, and major universities.

The deeply-intertwined Muslim Brotherhood/Turkey/Iran/Qatar nexus stands in stark opposition to the US-backed regional coalitions and alliances. And in perhaps nowhere else in the world do we see the convergence of hard, soft, and narrative power.

This is the age of durable disorder. Though this thread has focused extensively on Qatar and, to a lesser extent Iran and Turkey, we cannot forget that Russia and China are heavily involved in the region as well – almost completely against the US.

So what does this mean for the US, and the Gulf region, moving forward? First, so long as Qatar is able to derive massive revenues from the explosive growth in the natural gas sector, it will continue to have ready access to funding streams for terrorism and influence ops.

Second, the US must diligently safeguard itself against hyper-advanced 4th generation warfare (4GW) narrative-building efforts by allies and enemies alike. Third, the US is exposed immensely by its vested, complicated interests in the region.

Without the need for AUAB due to operations in the entire Persian Gulf region (including Afghanistan), the US would not be tied at the hip to Qatar. Lastly, the US is a growing exporter of liquefied natural gas. This strategic resource is an overlooked geopolitical tool.

The largest buyers of natgas are all Asian nations, especially South Korea, Japan, and China. India’s demand is also growing. Undermining Qatari dominance in LNG must be a prime US focus. This means huge investment, including US-flagged LNG shipping vessels a la Nakilat.

There is no excuse for the US not to make these moves. It starves the beast of Qatari influence operations, boxes in Turkey in the Gulf, reduces US exposure in the region, and shores up relationships with key Asian allies. Or, we can simply watch as Qatar runs wild.

The Muslim Brotherhood maybe a very capable secret society of deceptive and shady characters but they lack the ability to govern…

Mohammed Morsi former Egyptian president, died unexpectedly during a trial in June 2019. He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, an early 20th century cult of Islamist fanatics that rose to power in 2011.

The Egyptian MB—the main leadership of the MB failure started as soon as they assumed power, the ideological hollowness and opportunism destroyed the MB claims to a legitimate, democratic and functional government the MB structural deficits led it to be widely distrusted.

The MB failure to transform electoral victories into sustainable political control effectively stemmed from the exclusivity of its governing methodology that lacked competence and experience eventually leading to the ending the possibility of MB domination of the political scene.

Under the rule of the MB, the arrest of journalists increased and journalists and television broadcasters were put on mock trials in the early months of Muhammad Morsi’s rule, on charges of insulting and slandering Morsi and the MB in what seemed a return to the statuesque.

The MB were eager to clearout the political scene moved toward political scene of any competition seeking a utilitarian domination of the country , that resulted in the MB making a series of tactical mistakes in the process, while rushing to make personal gains.

The MB failed to either appease or successfully confront institutional power bases, and, believing its electoral victory to be an irreversible popular mandate, it was not welling to make the concessions necessary to build bridges with the crucial non Islamist power players.

The Brotherhood waged an unwinnable battle, driven more by ideological zealousy and delusions of grandeur than by a realistic assessment of the political environment.

From early 2011 to the middle of 2013, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood failed to run a proper government, debt imploded, inflation reached critical levels, basic services were failing rapidly and the economy was on the verge of collapse, the MB failed the people who took to the streets.

The Brotherhood in Egypt were so consumed in personal and political gain that they failed to see the tables turning on them and the Egyptian people were not welling to make past mistakes and the MB were swiftly ousted after gravelly damaging the country on multiple levels.

The Muslim Brotherhood maybe a very capable secret society of deceptive and shady characters but they lack the ability to govern and they lack the ability to work with others.

A dark chapter was closed and Egypt was given another chance to rise from the MBs blunder ridden rule.

Foreign Minister of Iran Javad Zarif told media in Doha on Wednesday, “the US is not in a position to (..) start naming others as terror organizations and we reject by any attempt by the US in this regard.”

On the other hand Spokesperson of Tayyib Erdogan Omer Celik said, “such a decision by the US would undoubtedly yield extremely wrong results regarding stability, human rights, basic rights and freedoms in countries of the Islamic world.”

Muslim Brotherhood is held responsible for the chaotic situation in the middle-East that is directly responsible for begetting the child organizations like al-Qaeda and ISIS in the region.

US President Donald Trump is working closely with Egypt’s president Abdelfattah al-Sisi to designate Muslim Brotherhood as a “foreign terrorist organization” that leads to serious sanctions against the party.

If the sanctions are leveled against MB, the party will be crippled to spread its terror tentacles in the region, which has directly hampered the peace-process of Israel-Palestine issue by funding the Hamas party to help Israel justify the violent methods used against Palestinians.
