On Wednesday, Jordan banned the Muslim Brotherhood from the country.

On April 15, Jordanian security services acknowledged arresting 16 people accused of endangering national security related to weapons, explosives, and plans to build drones and train fighters.

Jordanian Interior Minister Mazin Al Farrayeh said on Wednesday that “elements of the Muslim Brotherhood” had “worked in darkness to carry out activities that undermine stability and tamper with security and national unity.”

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by a Muslim teacher in Egypt named Hassan al-Banna, who wrote, “It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.”  Their 2010 Supreme Guide advised being “patient” because America “is heading towards its demise.”

The Hamas charter states that it is a “wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.” Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohommed Mahdi Akef praised Osama bin Laden in 2007, writing that he was “in all certainty, a mujahid (heroic  fighter), and I have no doubt in his sincerity in resisting the occupation, close to Allah on high.”

During President Donald Trump’s first term, the administration considered designating the group a terrorist organization.

The George Washington University Program on Extremism has noted:

Without exception, all European security services adopt a highly negative view of the Muslim Brotherhood on the Continent. All European security services which have publicly expressed views on the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe over the last twenty years have clearly and consistently stated that: 1. An extensive and sophisticated network linked to the Brotherhood operates covertly in Europe, both at the national and pan-European level (through its umbrella organization, FIOE/CEM, and spinoffs like FEMYSO); European-based Brotherhood-linked activists have created front organizations that allow them to operate within society and advance their agenda without being easily recognizable as being part of the Brotherhood.
