News Topical, Digital Desk : The US may soon declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. In July, Republican member of Congress Mario Diaz-Balart and Democratic member Jared Moskowitz introduced a bipartisan bill to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
The White House recently confirmed the development. "It highlights a rare consensus in the US that the Muslim Brotherhood, despite its cultivated image as a political movement, is a source of ideological radicalism for terrorists from Hamas to al-Qaeda," the Washington-based Capital Institute reported.
