In April 2014 the British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a government-wide review of “the philosophy, activities, impact and influence on UK national interests, at home and abroad, of the Muslim Brotherhood and of government policy towards the organisation.” As part of the process, the UK Cabinet Office commissioned George Washington University’s Program on Extremism’s director, Dr. Lorenzo Vidino, a paper on the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK. In December 2015 the British government released an executive summary of the report. This paper is an excerpt from the longer paper submitted by Dr. Vidino to the Cabinet Office.
