The Muslim Brotherhood’s objective is to replace secular democratic government with an Islamic caliphate under sharia law
The Government is preparing a major clampdown on organisations linked to the terror group Hamas after the long-awaited publication of its review into the Muslim Brotherhood.
The review, by the former British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sir John Jenkins, has been delayed for months amid disputes about how strongly it should say the Brotherhood is linked to terrorism.
It is expected to say that the Brotherhood, a multifaceted organisation, is not itself a terrorist group and should not be banned, a verdict most analysts agree with.
However, the report will dismiss claims by the Brotherhood that there is “no evidence” of links between it and terrorism. “There are clear links and Jenkins will trigger further action against some Brotherhood and Hamas-linked groups,” said one official source.
Only a summary of the Jenkins report will be published. However, a separate investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has found a number of clear overlaps between the Brotherhood’s UK operations and those of organisations linked to Hamas, which is banned as a terrorist organisation throughout the Western world. In particular, it is striking how often they appear to share premises.
One person involved in counter-extremism said: “When you start forensically going through the names and locations, there’s no way the Brotherhood can keep up the denials.”
The Sunday Telegraph has established that the main hubs for the Brotherhood’s operations in Europe are Westgate House, a serviced office block at the Hangar Lane roundabout in Ealing, west London, and Crown House, about half a mile north of it on the North Circular Road.
The two buildings contain at least 25 organisations linked to the Brotherhood, or to Hamas. A third building very close by – Pinnacle House on Old Oak Common Lane – houses Interpal, another major charity which has had close links to the Brotherhood and Hamas. Interpal is banned by the US government as a terrorist organisation.
The Brotherhood’s objective is to replace secular democratic government with an Islamic caliphate under sharia law. Members swear an oath of allegiance declaring that “the Quran is our constitution” and “to die for the sake of God is our greatest objective”.
The Brotherhood’s leaders insist that it works democratically – albeit to secure the replacement of democracy – and says the British Government review is a form of “pandering” by Britain to Gulf dictatorships.
Hamas’s 1988 founding charter states that it is “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine”, but the British government has tended to treat Hamas and the Brotherhood as unconnected. The organisations based at Crown House comprise broadly the Brotherhood’s UK outreach wing.
Other extremist organisations based at Crown House, though not formally linked to the Brotherhood, include the Islamic Education and Research Academy (IERA), which sends extremist preachers around British universities and mosques.
Both Westgate House and Crown House have other tenants and there is no suggestion that all their tenants are Islamists or extremists.

“The Brotherhood’s objective is to replace secular democratic government with an Islamic caliphate under sharia law”.
The aim of the ummah, or mohammedan mob, no matter where it is, is to replace *all* infidel governments with a global Islamic caliphate under the Sharia.
Total World Domination: Muslim despotism, always and everywhere. That’s the end game. That’s the aim, of the entire Ummah in all its manifestations.
And the sooner that all non-Muslims everywhere, especially their political leaders, wake up and realize this, the sooner we will get a stop put on all further Musilm entry into the as-yet majority-Infidel lands. Just for starters.
Because in the end every mosque, every Islamic school, every bit of ground that a Muslim person or business controls, is a spearhead and advance operating base in that grand Muslim campaign to achieve this-worldly Total World Domination.
