Britain's report on Muslim Brotherhood contradicts U.S. views on group
[Wash Times] The British government has issued a blistering report on the secretive Muslim Brotherhood, with findings that contradict some favorable U.S. views -- including the Obama administration's -- of the Islamic fundamentalist fraternity.The investigative paper says the Brotherhood promotes (and sometimes takes a role in) violence; seeks world domination of Shariah, or Islamic, law; and views other religions as illegitimate. Its senior leaders "routinely use virulent anti-Semitic language" and have justified the killings of American and other coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. To this day, Brotherhood leaders say the U.S. government fabricated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that the war on groups such as al Qaeda "is a pretext to attack Muslims," the British report says. The report, simply titled the "Muslim Brotherhood Review," appears to be unprecedented in these politically correct times in that a Western government is confronting a Muslim group that is an ideological organizing force but not overtly a transnational terrorist organization. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the investigation was conducted to determine whether the Brotherhood is contributing to violence in his country and elsewhere by creating an environment for extremists to act. "The movement is deliberately opaque and habitually secretive," Mr. Cameron said. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-12-29 |
