A growing call within the United States government and public discourse is urging the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. A White House adviser has publicly supported this move, and Secretary Hegseth indicated approval when asked about the designation. Advocates argue that the Muslim Brotherhood operates with a covert agenda to undermine Western values and democratic institutions, linking it to global Islamist networks. Several majority Muslim countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have already banned the group. Comparatively, the United Kingdom proscribes 84 groups under the Terrorism Act 2000, including 59 Islamist organizations. The push to ban the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. reflects concerns about its extremist activities and influence.
