UK to Begin Crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood

I would attribute this move more to Saudi and UAE influence than Cameron’s courage (apparently Qatar isn’t running UK foreign policy just yet) but it’s still miles from where we are.

While the UK proposes to crack down on the Brotherhood, nearly every American politician has taken the violent hate and terrorist group to its bosom.

After 9/11, US law enforcement began drilling into the Brotherhood. And then it all went away and the MB’s front groups because the public face of Islam at every level and the civil rights project of every liberal. Now how are those liberals who spent the last few years sneering at Michele Bachmann, David Horowitz and Frank Gaffney for mentioning that the Brotherhood is a threat going to explain a British crackdown?

A senior source close to the inquiry said its report – compiled but not yet published – had identified “an incredibly complex web” of up to 60 organisations in Britain, including charities, think tanks and even television channels, with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which will all now come under scrutiny.

The inquiry, aided by the security services, has also investigated its network abroad. One expert said that the Brotherhood was now operating from three major bases – London, Istanbul and Doha, the capital of Qatar

The Government crackdown will stop short of outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood but action is expected to include:
Þ Investigations into charities that are effectively “fronts” for the Brotherhood;

Þ Inquiries into funding of the organisation and links to jihadi groups abroad;

Þ Banning clerics linked to the group from countries such as Qatar and Turkey from coming to Britain for rallies and conferences.

The source said: “We cannot ban the organisation, but that was never the intention of the review. We can go after single individuals, not for terrorist-related activity, but through the Al Capone method of law-enforcement. We cannot get them for terrorism but I bet you they don’t pay their taxes.

“One of the big things is piling pressure on the charitable missions. Until now it has been very hard to monitor all the groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Which is to say that the Brotherhood’s groups will start being treated like the EDL and while that doesn’t sound like much, don’t underestimate the problems that come when a nanny state dislikes you and actively looks for ways to nail you for something.

If nothing else it will make the UK an inconvenient base of operations for the Brotherhood, which is the real goal here.

Cameron isn’t interested in destroying the Brotherhood. He just wants it to move an to an easier locale in Europe where they will become someone else’s problem. Considering Qatar’s growing influence in France, the answer may be quite nearby.

    well uk-istan just jailed tommy robinson again for retweeting a death
    threat to his mother, so off to a good start, with the instrument of state. why they dislike the mb is curious because they love the pac-scum-istan homeboys who have gang raped hundreds of thousands of british children from 11 to 17 yrs old ..

    Well, at least some Brits are realizing there may be something to the muslim conquest thing via stealth jihad.

      actually a lot of ordainary joe publics in the uk know how much a threat the muslims are (all muslims since all the moderates prove they are sick depraved liars trying to disguise whats plainly in their mainstream books).

      The thing is the british government seems to be modelling itself on the EU, ie a dictatorship rather than a democracy.

      A lot of us also believe there is no way they can be this ignorant of islam!

      They are allmost all, proving themselves to be traitors.

    A half-brother of President Barack Hussein Obama is the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kenya.

    Obama will find room for them here.

    • Gee

      Most of them work for the Odumba administration

  • Gee

    The British government has been supporting Islamofascists for over 100 years now. It has come home to roost and I cannot say I am sorry for them

    You have to wonder what our president thinks about a Muslim Brotherhood crackdown from one of strongest allies. After all, he sat on the sidelines cheering when the MB overthrew another of our allies in Egypt and protested when the Egyptians threw the MB out.

    Gosh, maybe Cameron and his Homeland Security head can call on Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller for consult. Could be they will even be allowed to enter the UK again.
    Those two could teach them a thing or two about the MB!

    The historiography is thick with evidence that the MB is a stealth Islamic-fundamental organization intent on establishing a caliphate and imposing Islamic law. Great JEEEZUS why can’t these dolts read up on this stuff? If they just just ignore it the problem will metastasize until it’s too late. The MB is the Asian carp of invading political species; the longer they spread their roots the harder it is to destroy the infection.
