“The Muslim Brotherhood isn’t merely a theological school of thought, nor a minor current within Islam’s vast tradition. It’s a deliberate, well-structured transnational political project, whose ultimate aim is the remaking of society along Islamist lines.” The former Vice-President of @RUSI_org David Abrahams has written an article in The Telegraph about the need for the UK to do something about the Muslim Brotherhood’s creeping infiltration and subversion of the British state. He writes that the Brotherhood’s main threat comes from the fact that it doesn’t practice overt militancy, but in its use of the democratic process to undermine democratic norms. He argues that the MB projects moderation in public while preaching ideological rigidity behind closed doors. Its agents are polished, fluent and adept at cloaking radicalism in the language of human rights. The Brotherhood does not win through force, but by stealth: attending government roundtables, winning grants, dominating community organisations and inserting itself into institutions as the presumed voice of Muslim Britain. Abrahams says that the 2015 UK government review of the Muslim Brotherhood, commissioned by then-prime minister David Cameron, concluded that the organisation is secretive and operates with a dual discourse – moderate in public, radical in private. It warned that the Brotherhood’s ideology and network pose a potential threat to democratic values. Yet, nearly a decade later, that report gathers dust while the Brotherhood continues to embed itself within civil society. As the Muslim population in the UK keeps growing, the Muslim Brotherhood is being given the possibility to influence that community by the British state, viewing MB organizations as the only representatives of Muslims in the UK. Very often, these organizations also receive state-funding. In result, British taxpayers are funding an attempted Islamist takeover of the British state. How many decades will it take before the British Mohamed Morsi appears on the stage? And will the British Army be ideologically strong enough to beat him back?
