UK Declares Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Group, Breaks With Obama by stanech: 7:40pm On Dec 24, 2015 |
The United Kingdom declared the Muslim
Brotherhood a terrorist group after an 18-month
study ordered by British Prime Minister David
Cameron — and the Obama administration slammed
the document as flying in the face of the
Brotherhood's history as a "nonviolent Islamist
group."
The report, which Cameron presented to the House
of Commons on Thursday, described the Muslim
Brotherhood as anti-democratic, openly supportive
of terrorism, dedicated to establishing an Islamist
government — and opposed to the rule of law,
individual liberty, and equality.
"Aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood's ideology and
activities … run counter to British values of
democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty,
equality and the mutual respect and tolerance of
different faiths and beliefs," Cameron said in a
statement with the report's release. "The Muslim
Brotherhood is not the only movement that
promotes values which appear intolerant of equality
and freedom of faith and belief."

"Nor is it the only movement or group dedicated in
theory to revolutionizing societies and changing
existing ways of life," he continued. "But I have
made clear this government's determination to
reject intolerance, and to counter not just violent
Islamist extremism, but also to tackle those who
create the conditions for it to flourish."
"The main findings of the review support the
conclusion that membership of, association with, or
influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be
considered as a possible indicator of extremism,"
Cameron said.
As a result, the prime minister said that the U.K.
government would continue to refuse visas to
Muslim Brotherhood members and associates and
take other steps that included increasing
surveillance on the group's activities and whether
these actions could be prosecuted.
Britain also will continue to uphold the European
Community's freeze on the assets of Hamas,
another terrorist group with ties to the Brotherhood,
Cameron said.
The Obama administration quickly condemned the
report in a statement to the Investigative Project on
Terrorism, saying that the Muslim Brotherhood had
a history of nonviolence and that opposing the group
could lead some members to become radicalized.
The "political repression of nonviolent Islamist
groups has historically contributed to the
radicalization of the minority of their members who
would consider violence," the administration said.
"The de-legitimization of non-violent political
groups does not promote stability, and instead
advances the very outcomes that such measures
are intended to prevent."

President Barack Obama has long embraced the
Muslim Brotherhood and has defended and
promoted Islam in an effort to fight Islamophobia.
In January, the State Department hosted a
delegation of leaders aligned with the organization.
In 2011, Director of National Intelligence James
Clapper told Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood
has "pursued social ends, a betterment of the
political order in Egypt."
"In other countries, there are also chapters or
franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is
no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of
violence, at least internationally."
And in a 2009 interview with Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-
based television network, Obama said: "My job is to
communicate to the American people that the
Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who
simply want to live their lives and see their children
live better lives."
"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that
the Americans are not your enemy."
Here are some key statements from Cameron's
report:
"The founder and first Supreme Guide (spiritual
leader), Hassan al Banna, called for the religious
reformation of individual Muslims, the
progressive moral purification of Muslim
societies and their eventual political unification
in a caliphate under sharia law."
"There is little evidence that the experience of
power in Egypt … has caused a rethinking in the
Muslim Brotherhood of its ideology or conduct.
U.K. official engagement with the Egyptian
Muslim Brotherhood produced no discernible
change in their thinking. Indeed even by
mid-2014, statements from Egyptian Muslim
Brotherhood-linked media platforms seem to
have deliberately incited violence."
"Literature in the Muslim Brotherhood movement
in this country continues to reflect some of the
concerns of the foundational Muslim
Brotherhood ideology, notably that Western
society is inherently hostile to Muslim faith and
interests and that Muslims must respond by
maintaining their distance and autonomy."
"Material still being promoted by UKIM [U.K.
Islamic Mission] as of July 2014 continued to
explicitly claim that it is not possible for an
observant Muslim to live under a non-Islamic
system of government." www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/706848 |

David Cameron has obviously got his priority wrong, so the muslim brotherhood which has always preached against violence and has repeatedly condemned terrorism is now considered a terrorist supporting organization? david Cameron has obviously lost it with his conservative party |
