The UAE and Saudi War on the Muslim Brotherhood Could Be Trouble for the U.S.
The UAE Cabinet approved a list of 83 designated terrorist
organizations on Saturday, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
Much more significant, though, was the inclusion of many Muslim
organizations based in the West that are believed to be allied with the
Muslim Brotherhood movement. Prominent among them are two American
Muslim groups: the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim
American Society.
The decision to put two mainstream U.S. Muslim groups on its list of terrorist organizations is part of an initiative, together with the Saudis, to undermine the Islamist movement known as the Muslim Brotherhood. The move is unlikely to succeed, but it could cause problems between the U.S. government and the American Muslim community.
