UK to Offer Political Asylum to Muslim Brotherhood Leaders

The UK apparently still hasn't grown tired of being used as a base by the Muslim Brotherhood. Now it's offering asylum to leaders of the hate and international terror group exemplars.

The Muslim Brotherhood – which preaches using the Koran as the sole basis for government – is considered a terrorist organisation across the Arab and was critical to the foundation of Al-Qaeda.

It briefly held power in Egypt in the chaos after the overthrow of president Hosni Mubarak.

But after leader Mohammad Morsi was overthrown, the group – which advocates global jihad – found itself in the firing line.

Since the Egyptian military seized power, hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members have faced the death penalty in a move Amnesty International condemned as “politically motivated”.

Much like Mussolini was hung upside down for politically motivated reasons.

And now Britain is extending open arms to its activists, publishing guidance that giving them asylum is “appropriate”.

A Home Office report said: “Those with a high profile in the MB or who have been politically active, particularly in demonstrations, may be able to show that they are at risk of persecution.

“Additionally, high profile supporters or those perceived to support the MB, such as journalists, may also be similarly at risk of persecution.

“In such cases, a grant of asylum will be appropriate.”

This is why Brexit is a long way from solving the UK's problem with immigration.
