Where Islamist Terrorism Really Comes From - Ed Husain
"Our intelligence agencies basically quietly message that having these guys here, the Muslim Brotherhood and its various supporters, gives us leverage against Arab governments. Because we can say to them, if you do A, B, and C, we will unleash these dogs with greater amplification here against you."
Former Muslim Brotherhood insider Ed Husain reveals that British intelligence agencies MI6 and others have intentionally fostered Muslim Brotherhood presence in the UK as a tool to pressure allied Arab governments. He claims this strategy, confirmed by recent Home Office ministers in private conversations, treats Islamist groups as intelligence assets rather than threats despite warnings from UAE, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia that the same model produced Hamas and terrorism elsewhere.
