Banning the Moslem Brotherhood – A Good Start, But Only a First Step
Peloni: Western rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood must become universal and complete. Arab govts whose stated ideology reflect not only an animus for Western values, but a goal of subjugating them through coercive, if not militant means, should gain at least an equal focus of US sanctions and criminal prosecution as those in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon, if not more so as they are weaponizing financial support in the US towards the complete perversion of the values on which the US and the West are based. So, as Jonathan Feldstein suggests, Trump’s initial ban is only a first step which needs to be followed with additional steps, both in the US and around the world, as discussed by Mudar Zahran & Yisrael Ne’eman in the below article.

In a riveting conversation on the “Inspiration from Zion” from a panel of experts dissected the Moslem Brotherhood (MB)—an extremist Islamist organization whose tentacles stretch from the Middle East to the West and around the world. Featuring expert panelists Yisrael Ne’eman, a lecturer and author on Middle East nationalism and terrorism, and Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian-Palestinian politician leading the Jordanian Opposition Coalition, the discussion illuminated the MB’s origins, enduring and corrupting influence, contemporary threats, and strategies for its eradication. The catalyst for the conversation was the recent U.S. executive order (November 20205) designating MB “chapters” illegal, but asking the question why not ban all its elements. The week of the webinar the US made it official, branding MB branches in Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon as terrorist entities. This is a critical development but only a first step.
