Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Tajikistan Arrests 113 for Muslim Brotherhood Membership

Feb 5, 2020 11:00 am By Daniel Greenfield

The great irony is that Muslim countries, whether it’s Egypt, the UAE or, in this case, Tajikistan are far more realistic about the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood, than countries like the UK, where the Brotherhood effectively operates, not to mention the rest of Europe and America. And when Muslim countries do take action against the Brotherhood, there’s an outcry in western nations.

Tajikistan has arrested 113 people charged with being members of Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organisation outlawed in the Central Asian nation, Prosecutor General Yusuf Rakhmon said on Tuesday.

Among those arrested over the course of this month were two foreigners, one municipal official, and more than 20 university professors, he told a briefing.

I’m sure the outcry from the Washington Post and the usual suspects will commence shortly.

The government of the predominantly Muslim ex-Soviet republic has been cracking down on Islamist opposition in recent years, banning the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan and accusing its leadership of plotting a coup.

Tajikistan has also blamed Islamists, and the ultra hardline Islamic State militant group in particular, for a series of deadly attack on foreign tourists and local prison staff and border guards.

“Ultra hardline”. As opposed to what?

    Even Muslim-majority Tajikstan understands that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. Why have most Western countries not banned the Muslim Brotherhood as well?

    Surely, all intelligence agencies in every country can confirm that the MB is a terrorist organization.

      They can, however,,,,,,getting the government, social engineers,and leftist arse lickers to come to the same logical conclusions as the intelligence community is an entirely different matter.

    Didn’t former President Obama acknowledge,
    support, and promote the MB? Makes one wonder.

      BVC,

      You are correct and I am sure that your question was rhetorical. Hussein provided Morsi with arms to attack Israel while Mrs. Clinton was planning her attack on Muammar Gaddafi, which she accomplished later. Ask the Coptic population if they are better off than before the Arab Spring.

      The mb was banned in Egypt, but when ‘o’ went there to give a speech, he demanded that members of the mb be given special seating in the front row.

      Terrorists of a feather, flock together and see the same targets as prey.

    The moslim countries recognize terrorists that will act against their governments, such as the mb.

    The mb is an umbrella group from which springs many smaller…but just as vile…terror groups. If only more politicians would recognize that they can…can…outlaw them. In this country, with the RICO statute.

      RICO may just be the answer. I wouldn’t put it past Trump with having indictments in the hopper regards these terrorist bent orgs. However, until something actually gels with that, we need to keep the issue out there in the fore front. Obama’s message to America stares us in the face every day. Time to awaken the masses and flush this cultural disease out with the swamp that brought it in.

    Tajikistan Arrests 113 for Muslim Brotherhood Membership
    …………………….

    Of course, Tajikistan only cares about this because the Muslim Brotherhood is a direct threat to their regime. The same is true in other parts of Dar-al-Islam.

    The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization period.

    I imagine there is a score of British Human Rights Lawyers(like Sadiq Khan did before his political career)will be flying out there ASAP.
    For refernce to Sadiq Khan look up Zacarias Moussaoui
