Britain to curb Muslim Brotherhood operations in London

dailynewsen.com: Britain is set to impose curbs on Muslim Brotherhood-linked organisations and block activists moving to London right after a report by a senior diplomat raised concerns more than the group’s links to extremists in the Middle East.

David Cameron asked Sir John Jenkins, the ambassador to Saudi Arabia, to compile a complete report on the Muslim Brotherhood right after Gulf allies place pressure on the government to curtail the movement’s London-primarily based operations.

Critics of the movement accuse it of links to jihadist groups and of pursuing divisive sectarian politics that infringe the freedom of other religions and Islamic interpretations.

A lobbying campaign by Gulf states angry at the Muslim Brotherhood’s function in the Arab Spring has observed several of its senior figures forced to leave Qatar in recent days.

Egypt and Saudi Arabia have spearheaded diplomatic pressure on host governments to shut down Muslim Brotherhood operations in Qatar, London and Istanbul.

Amongst those forced out of Qatar are Mahmoud Hussein, the secretary basic of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other top figures in the political wing of the movement.

Amr Darrag, a senior Brotherhood leader, wrote on Facebook that the activists had complied with a request to leave “to stay clear of causing any embarrassment for the state of Qatar”.
