An internal review of the Muslim Brotherhood commissioned by the Prime Minister, while stopping short from calling the group a terrorist organisation, said that it was founded on the premise that “secularisation and westernisation were at the root of all contemporary problems of Arab and Muslim societies.”
Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has as its goal the “religious reformation of individual Muslims, the progressive moral purification of Muslim societies and their eventual political unification in a Caliphate under Sharia law.”
Although it is feared to have links to extremism, Prime Minister David Cameron has refused to ban it.
