Western governments, including the Trump administration, need to understand that the Muslim Brotherhood’s jihadist ideology is dedicated to the West’s demise.
Designating the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in the United States is a basic first step in countering the organization’s corrosive influence.
The MB has spread extremism, instability and terrorism from the Middle East to the rest of the world, not least in the US and Europe, with affiliates of the organization spread across at least 70 other countries.
A bill, H.R.3883 (Muslim Brotherhood Is a Terrorist Organization Act of 2025), was put forward on June 10, 2025 by US Senator Ted Cruz, “[to] require the Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.”
