Blacklisting Muslim Brotherhood could radicalise members: analysts
2019-05-06
[Rudaw] Washington is considering blacklisting the Moslem Brüderbund as a terrorist organization, but experts warn the move would risk radicalising its members and further destabilising the Arab world.

A grassroots Islamist movement with affiliates in several countries including The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
's ruling AKP party, and Tunisia's Ennahda, the Brotherhood has holy warrior offshoots but officially renounced violence in the 1970s.

#10  The fact that all of the Sri Lanka bombers were from prosperous families shoots this line of BS in the butt
But then the media has done backwards somersaults and cartwheels to avoid that fact

#9  Magpie -- the newsies are fully aware, as they are an essential part of the success of terrorists. They're the ones who endlessly argue why terrorists shouldn't be snuffed out, and who carefully explain the "grievances" behind terrorist movements after attacks.

#8  Ratio of 30-to-1 has shown up when studying revolutionary movements: It takes roughly thirty (30) "fellow sympathizers/ part-time members" to support one (1) "full-time cadre / revolutionary".

My learning for today. Thank you, magpie.

#7  It's also possible that many folks will be deterred from joining up, knowing they could be visited by drones in the night.

So you aren't radicalizing them, you are attacking their logistical support. Logistics B Hardâ„¢ -- someone has to support these people, which is a fact that tends to be overlooked by newsies.

#2  yes, by all means... let's not alienate the terrorists, they might do something rash.

#1  yes blacklisting terrorists will increase the number of blacklisted terrorists.
instead we should give them money for being terrorists. that is what these "experts" recommend.
that will increase terrorism and hence the importance of these experts.
