President Trump may designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, as Saudi Arabia did three years ago.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II visited the U.S. last week and met many officials from the new administration, including Trump. In October, a report stated that Jordan was becoming close friends with Israel, and that “some Palestinians fear they’ve been jilted by Jordan, which seems to be cozying up to Israel rather quickly.

Against this backdrop, the Muslim Brotherhood is unhappy about Jordan removing the Qur’an’s jihad verses from its curriculum. Most significant is the “removal of all reference to jihad and opposing the occupation of Palestine.”

The Brotherhood is often regarded as the wing of jihad that pursues its goals against the House of War by peaceful means, but this is not always the case. If the occasion calls for it, the Muslim Brotherhood may opt for violence.

After its founding in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, “as an Islamic revivalist movement following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire,” the movement became more violent. It blamed the “Egyptian government for being passive against ‘Zionists’ and joined the Palestinian side in the war against Israel and started performing terrorist acts inside of Egypt.” Al-Banna called it the duty of all Muslims to perform bloody jihad, stating “their pure blood is a symbol of victory in this world and the mark of success and felicity in the world to come.”

In keeping with the vision of al-Banna, Palestinian children have long been taught violence and hatred against Israel as part of their school curriculum.
