‘Worked In Darkness’: Jordan Bans Muslim Brotherhood

On Wednesday, April 23, 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, and 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 Mohammed Mahdi Akef praised Osama bin Laden in 2007, writing that he was “in all certainty, a mujahid (heroic fighter).”

During President Donald Trump’s first term, the administration considered designating the group a terrorist organization. (DW/VFI News)
