The Muslim Brotherhood: Terrorists or Not?

The Wall Street Journal carries an opinion piece by two of our favourite thinkers on Egypt headlined “The Muslim Brotherhood: Terrorists or Not?” (paywall). Their bottom line, Mokhtar Awad and Samuel Tadros write: “It’s complicated. The Islamist group splintered after 2011, and some of its spinoffs are violent.” To wit: “The old Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is disintegrating. In its place stand two competing leaderships, along with spinoff groups engaged in terrorism.”
