Muslim Brotherhood

In a press statement, Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said that the designation of the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as FTOs and SDGTs is a step towards “President Trump’s commitment to eliminate the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that pose a threat to the United States.”

Over the past decade, the UAE has cracked down heavily on Islamists within the country, and in 2014, it designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. The UAE has long advocated that the UK must proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood; however, the latter remains reluctant.

The executive order states that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shall submit a joint report to the President concerning the designation of any Muslim Brotherhood chapters or other subdivisions, including those in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt, as FTO and SDGTs.

Governor Abbott’s order details CAIR’s ties to convicted extremists, references the FBI decision to cut contact in 2008, and triggers enhanced penalties under Texas law by designating the group a foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organisation.

According to WAM news, the decision by the UAE is part of its ongoing efforts to dismantle terror financing networks both locally and internationally.

“When you work for their news channel, they need you to promote their Muslim Brotherhood agendas, and if you’re not there ideologically, they’ll make sure to buy you off," Adnan Al-Ameri remarked.

Daramanin went on to say that Karim Benzema has made the" extremely selective choice" to use the same discourse as the Muslim Brotherhood.
