#1 Erdogan is aligned with the MB,

Hamas is the "Palestinian" chapter of the MB.

No surprise here.

#2 Nope. No surprises whatsoever. But then President Erdogan mustn’t be surprised when Ankara becomes the next Mossad hunting ground.

#4 In 1988 Hamas was created as an arm of the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, the international Muslim Brotherhood.
Sometime in 1999 or 2000, Mr. (Gazevan Masri, AKA in Turkish, Gazi) Misirli became a trustee of the European Trust, a part of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE), known to be the umbrella group representing the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe.The Trust describes itself as a “Waqf,” an Arabic term meaning a religious endowment in the form of a property earning revenues, as regulated by Islamic law. Since renamed the “Europe Trust,” the organization has amassed a real-estate portfolio of income-earning properties.... At the time Mr. Misirli joined the Trust, as well as at the present, the other trustees included some of the most important Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Europe, such as Ibrahim El-Zayat, the leader of the German Muslim Brotherhood, and Fouad Alaoui, one of the leaders of the French Muslim Brotherhood. Illustrative of Mr. Misirli’s close connections to the current Turkish government, in April 2009 he offered on an online forum to forward letters to the office of Prime Minister Erdogan. Etc.

"The Turkish government has denied that the Palestinian movement Hamas has relocated its political bureau to Turkey, amidst claims that the group was looking for a new home after a purported Qatari request to leave the Gulf state."

Trump effect?

"It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet."
Hassan al-Banna, Founder of the MB

IOW Hamas, and by extension Erdogan and Qatar want to transform the entire world into a totalitarian Islamic slave empire.

Their likelihood of succsess might be low but in this instance it is the evil thought that should count.

Any Western nation that is allied with 21th century Turkey and/or Qatar doesn't really need enemies.

#7 Interesting. Albert Pelosi3459, I ran a search on your three MB names; while Misirli does not show up, the other two are in the Rantburg archives, findable using the Rantburg Search thingy in the right margin just below the Today’s Headlines bar. (Rantburg won’t post comments that have more than one link — Ii keep forgetting that.)

Definitely Trump, NN2N1.

Elmerert Hupens2660, I would argue that Hamas is the junior partner in this Muslim Brotherhood venture, but really that’s just quibbling — they’re all tentacles on the same octopus, and see themselves so. After all, the plan goes back to Hassan al Banna in Egypt, where at the moment the Ikhwan is keeping its head well down.

At some point Turkey is going to have to be cut off, which is why the EU keeps not making them a member.

#8 A major Muslim Brotherhood meeting was held in Turkey in (as I recall) 2010. At that point the nexus of the organization moved to Turkey. Present at the meeting was Yusuf Qaradawi, the MB mufti now deceased and Erdogan. Qaradawi was then residing in Qatar. However, the al-Thani family that rules Qatar might approve Qaradawi's stay it did not want to be seen as the home of what is in reality an Egyptian-centered organization. The Thani are smart. Smart enough to entice Washington to invest in an Islamist mini-nation. On the other hand Erdogan is seen as someone who personally wants to be seen as the leader of Sunni Muslims and return Turkey to the days of Mohammed Ali.

#9 Sorry, Qaradawi was the Muslim Brotherhood Cadi, or religious leader, not its Mufti.
