“The Irrelevance of the Muslim Brotherhood” with Sam Westrop
The proposed U.S. designation of the ill-defined collection of groups and networks known as the “Muslim Brotherhood” risks achieving little and distracts from more important counter-Islamist measures that government must implement. If a designation is to be useful, policymakers in Washington must broaden and update their understanding of the Islamist threat.
Sam Westrop explores the modern-day irrelevance of the Brotherhood, the federal government’s failure to enforce existing law, and the more dangerous and tangible Islamist networks, active on American soil, that should be designated instead.
