2014 UK government review of the Muslim Brotherhood
The 2014 UK Government Review of the Muslim Brotherhood was a significant investigation commissioned by Prime Minister David Cameron to assess the influence and activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, particularly in relation to its operations in the Middle East and South Asia, including India. The review aimed to evaluate the organization's political ideology, its potential connections to extremism, and its impact on British national interests. The inquiry was prompted by concerns over the Brotherhood's ideological framework and its implications for British foreign policy, especially in light of rising Islamist extremism. While the review highlighted certain risks associated with the Brotherhood, it emphasized the complexity of its operations and the necessity for nuanced approaches to counter-extremism in diverse contexts, including Indian socio-political dynamics.
