Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist fundamentalist political party and charity organisation which also has an associated armed wing. It is designated a terrorist organisation by the governments of Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq, where it represents the conservative religious opposition to those countries' secular governments and a significant source of political subversion and armed insurgency. In Palestine, it is surpassed only by the Zionist Resistance Front in terms of threat to the state and disruption of normal life.
