The Brotherhood...the first organization on the extremist list in Britain

 Britain placed the Brotherhood at the top of the list of extremism according to the standards of the new government definition of extremism, in direct connection with the Hamas movement, the Gaza war and the societal divisions resulting from it, and the anti-Semitic slogans revealed by the recent protests.

Local Communities Minister Michael Gove announced that "organizations such as the Muslim League of Britain, which is the British branch of the Brotherhood, and other groups such as Cage and MEND raise concerns about their trends."

He added: "We will hold these and other organizations accountable to assess whether they meet our definition of extremism, and we will take appropriate action."

He said, "The comprehensive spread of extremist ideologies is becoming more and more clear after the October 7 attacks and constitutes a real danger to the security of our citizens and our democracy."

The new definition of extremism is supposed to lead to the organizations in question being blacklisted and deprived of public funds.

The definition aims to combat what British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described as a "poison" to democracy, warning of a "horrific increase in extremist unrest and criminality that threatens the country with a move to mob rule."
