5 COUNTRIES WHERE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OPERATES TO ESTABLISH GLOBAL CALIPHATE

by Edwin Mora, May 2, 2019

There is significant Islamist ideological overlap between the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and some of the globe's most murderous jihadi groups — the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and al-Qaeda, Breitbart News learned from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). All three groups maintain a shared goal of establishing an Islamic global caliphate. However, the Muslim Brotherhood has the advantage of being "one of the oldest and broadest-reaching Islamist organizations in modern times.” The Brotherhood has Global ambitions as a Brotherhood manifesto, dubbed "Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America" and presented by the FBI as evidence in a U.S. federal case against Hamas financing, explicitly claimed that it is a "civilization jihadist" group responsible for Muslims to "present Islam as a civilization alternative, and supporting the global Islamic State wherever it is." This meant that the Brotherhood's "work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering joining the countries that have already outlawed the group as a terrorist organization: Bahrain, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Syria. While some of the countries that house MB branches have designated the group a terrorist organization, some openly support it, namely U.S allies Turkey and Qatar. Presently, Turkey, Qatar, Sudan, Iraq, and the Palestinian Territories (namely Hamas) are either supported or openly allied with the Muslim Brotherhood.
