Will UK list Muslim Brotherhood as terror group?
Britain’s announced inquiry into the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities might be an attempt to appease its Gulf allies without offering any tangible changes.
It was not so long ago that London was inaccurately described as "Londonistan," owing to the number of political exiles from the Muslim world, including Arab Islamists, present in the British capital. Many of them returned to their home countries in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings in 2011, but the trend is cycling back. Egyptian Islamists in particular have fled to the United Kingdom after the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July — but the world has changed. British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered an investigation of the Muslim Brotherhood March 31, following accusations the group was terroristic in nature.
What are the national, regional and international implications of such a move? Has the UK really changed that much?
