Britain placed the Muslim Brotherhood at the top of its extremism list on Thursday, according to the new government definition of extremism. This decision was made due to the group's direct involvement with Hamas, the Gaza war, and the resulting social divisions, as well as the recent protests that revealed anti-Semitic slogans.
The Minister for Local Communities, Michael Gove, announced that "organizations such as the Islamic Association in Britain, the British branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other groups like Cage and MEND raise concerns about their orientations."
He added, "We will hold these organizations and others accountable to assess whether they meet our definition of extremism, and we will take appropriate action."
He further stated that "the widespread prevalence of extremist ideologies is becoming increasingly apparent after the attacks of October 7th and poses a real threat to the security of our citizens and our democracy."
It is expected that the new definition of extremism will lead to the inclusion of relevant organizations on a blacklist and the deprivation of public funds.
The definition aims to combat what British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak referred to as a "poison" to democracy, warning of a "terrifying increase in extremist disturbances and crime that threatens the country with falling into the hands of thugs."
