The UAE Fuels Moves to Ban the Muslim Brotherhood
['James M. Dorsey']
Fair Observer
United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed sounded an alarm bell eight years ago that rings loudly today.
Shifts in counterterrorism strategiesIslamic State attacks in Europe have tapered off since Mr. Bin Zayed made his assertions, following a wave of attacks in the years immediately before he made his remarks.
Mr. Bin Zayed will also probably take heart from seeing the UAE’s long-standing no-holds-barred campaign to persuade Western and other nations to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood as the source of all Islamist evil, produce results.
While the United States has designated Brotherhood offshoots and individuals as terrorists, it has stopped short of labelling the group as such.
That didn’t stop Colonel Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesman, from accusing the “bankrupt Muslim Brotherhood media” of publishing “false news.”[The Turbulent World first published this piece.]
