Tuesday, the announcement was made that President Donald J. Trump was planning on designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, signaling changes that could impact numerous countries.

“The President has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process,” said the White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Having a designation of “foreign terrorist organization” would put the Muslim Brotherhood on a US Blacklist and expose them to harsh economic and travel sanctions imposed by the United States government.

The New York Times reported that national security and diplomatic officials began discussing the change based on a request by Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who held a private meeting with Trump at the White House on April 9th.

According to Wikipedia,”The Arab Spring brought [the Muslim Brotherhood] legalization and substantial political power at first, but as of 2013 it has suffered severe reversals.[31] The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood was legalized in 2011 and won several elections,[32] including the 2012 presidential election when its candidate Mohamed Morsi became Egypt’s first president to gain power through an election,[33] though one year later, following massive demonstrations and unrest, he was overthrown by the military and placed under house arrest.[34]

The Brotherhood itself claims to be a peaceful, democratic organization,[35][36] and that its leader “condemns violence and violent acts”.[37]”

FLASHBACK

“Under Barack Obama we Obama call to Israel to retreat. Want to know why we have an Arab Spring, Barack Obama is why,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann.

“The United States supports the transformation that is Arab Spring,” said former President Barack H. Obama.

IMPLICATIONS

BATTLES ONGOING IN DC

“The vast majority of people inside Islam are peaceful but we need to have a discussion about the sickness in some parts of the Islamic community,” a former CIA officer said in 2015.

Who Obama has given US Military technology in the form F-16s and tanks and massive pay -outs, Trump is headed to call Terrorists.

According to Middle East Eye, the concerns on the minds of Muslims in the United States is how such a thing would affect them personally.

“While such a designation may harm Washington’s already rocky relations with Muslims across the world, rights groups warn that it may have disastrous domestic effects – that it would enable the government to further scapegoat and crack down on Muslim American groups and individuals.

Right-wing ideologues who were empowered by Trump’s election victory have long accused Muslim activists and public figures of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood,” MEE reported.

"For decades now, Israel has continually spat in the face of the rest of the planet – with casual disdain for international law…" https://t.co/5OQHjHcCKo — Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) April 30, 2019
