US EditionReport: Trump to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization
Trump plans to finalize the Muslim Brotherhood's foreign terrorist designation, following years of Republican pressure and recent Texas state actions against related groups.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump told Just the News he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, saying `It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms` and that `Final documents are being drawn`.
- Prominent Republican lawmakers pushed legislation in July, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed in August that a designation was `in the works` after years the White House explored the step.
- On Tuesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist groups and ordered probes into alleged `sharia courts`, while US Muslim groups filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday against Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
- Several Middle Eastern governments have already branded or banned the Brotherhood, while the group's decentralised, transnational nature complicates a US designation.
- Founded in 1928 in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most influential Islamic political movements and claims commitment to peaceful democratic engagement despite regional governments viewing it as a threat.
