Last month (November 2025) President Trump moved towards leading resistance to the Islamisation of the developed world by signing an Executive Order directing the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to consider whether certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood should be designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).
THE Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 in Egypt by Hassan al-Banna as a reaction to British colonialism, in opposition to colonial rule and the growing influence of secular Western ideas. and to establish sharia (Islamic law) through peaceful political means.
Initially a pan-Islamist, religious, and social movement, the organisation sought to revive Islamic principles and unify the Muslim world under sharia law and champion an Islamic identity. It opposed the secular regimes put in place by colonial powers even though they were Islamo-centric and authoritarian. The Brotherhood's activities were expanded into terrorism in the 1930s and the use of terror to advance its agenda continues at present though is usually limited to providing ideological and material support to proscribed groups. For example, when Hamas chartered itself (1988) it was as the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.
By a theatrical gestire in 2017 Hamas publicly denounced terrorism and religious conflict, but ensured business as usual by reinterpreting terrorism as ‘armed resistance’. What such armed resistance looks like was brutally displayed on October 7, 2023.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s international effort focuses on sedition and disinformation. For instance, the Muslim Students Association (MSA) — founded by Muslim Brotherhood activists — currently operates on more than 600 campuses in the United States where they advance vicious disinformation about supposed Israeli and Western atrocities, and promote their Wahabbi (radical Sunni) form of Islam. They are funded by the ruling family of Qatar to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, which has pledged Bay’ah (loyalty) and money to the Muslim Brotherhood, a crucial and often overlooked fact.
Egypt, Libya, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are all countries who regard the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist threat and have banned them. Not so the countries of the West. These have remained remarkably tolerant of the Brotherhood with one exception. Austria is the only Western country to have banned affiliates in 2021, following their involvement in a terrorist attack in 2020. Prior to that in 2017 it banned the Brotherhood’s symbology.
America will be the second Western country to ban the Brotherhood, following Austria when theWhite House process is complete. Last week, after embracing New York Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani, President Donald Trump ordered his government to decide which associates and chapters to designate as terrorist.
The announcement specified three examples: a chapter of the Brotherhood in the Lebanon that helped to bombard Israel after Hamas’s invasion in October 2023; Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood acolytes who provided material support to Hamas, and an Egyptian member who called for attacks on the West on the day of the invasion.
In January this year, Alternative für Deutschland, Germany’s ascendant national conservative party, introduced a Bill in the Bundestag to ban the Brotherhood. But it was shot down as ‘racist’ by politicians of the political mainstream. In the UK, Nigel Farage has promised that a Reform UK would ban the Brotherhood. Advance UK agrees. But a change of government before 2029 in the UK and even then the civil service which has been infiltrated by Musims and far left sympathisers of Islam would try to frustrate them.
Recent governments now consult the Brotherhood’s very questionable British affiliates, including the Muslim Association of Britain and the Muslim Council of Britain (which, despite the names, are unrepresentative radical Sunni groups: the latter is supported by only 2 to 4 per cent of Britain’s Muslims).
