Aidrian Morgan in Western Resistance presents a comprehensive account of Britain's role in helping - or not doing enough to hinder - Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is only Part I.

On August 11, 2004, Anthony Browne wrote a coruscating attack upon the MAB in the Times. Browne asserted that despite MAB's denials, it still shared much in common with the Muslim Brotherhood. On its website, it carried an article that stated Jews were "vampires", and Azzam Tamimi had written: "If they want to be as human as anybody else, Jews must wake up before it is too late." Browne also noted that the MAB had invited Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi to London. Qaradawi is regarded as the "spiritual leader" of the Muslim Brotherhood.

These issues, as well as other examples of the British establishment's flirtation with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, will be discussed in Part Two.

David T of Harry's Place played a major role in uncovering some links between the Muslim Association of Britain and the Muslim Brotherhood, and deserves genuine support in fighting the libel action against him, rather than the sneering contempt and ill-concealed gloating he has received in certain quarters.
