About this episode
The episode discusses the historical and ideological significance of the Muslim Brotherhood in the context of modern terrorism and political movements.
Before Hamas. Before Al-Qaeda. Before the Islamic State. There was... (🥁) The Muslim Brotherhood. And for nearly a century, it has played the long game by building influence across the Middle East and even deep inside the West. But what exactly is it — a political movement? A terrorist organization? The ideological engine behind modern Islamism? Some combination? Bill is joined again by longtime friend of the show Edmund Fitton-Brown, now his colleague at FDD, to discuss.
