US Senator Introduces Act to Designate MB as Terrorist Group

On Wednesday, US Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill in Congress to place the " Muslim Brotherhood"(MB) organization on the terrorism list, according to Sky News Arabia.

Cruz called on the US State Department to designate MB as a terrorist group, stressing that the organization "is responsible for financing and promoting terrorism."

He explained that passing this law would strengthen the US position in its war against terrorism, extremism, and dangerous threats resulting from militancy.

"Many of our closest allies in the Arab world have long ago concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group that seeks to sow chaos across the Middle East," he added.

It is worth mentioning that, lately Saudi Arabia’s Council of Senior Scholars announced that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and does not represent Islam.

“The Muslim Brothers’ Group is a terrorist group and [does not] represent the method of Islam, rather it blindly follows its partisan objectives that are running contrary to the guidance of our graceful religion, while taking religion as a mask to disguise its purposes in order to practice the opposite such as sedition, wreaking havoc, committing violence and terrorism,” the council said in an official statement.
