Muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization. Deputy Prime Minister said there will be punishment for anyone who funds or gets involved with the brotherhood. Earlier i asked why the government made this decision. The government has been under pressure for some time to declare the Muslim Brotherhood organization. The timing was right on p.

Egypts Muslim Brotherhood is fighting back against the announcement that it is a terrorist organization, and saying it is false accusations and it will have no effect on its work.

He left palestine at a very young age. He was raised in jerusalem and in cairo and came here at the age of 14 or 15 to the united states. He was also christian anglican episcopalian and i was born and baptized as an episcopalian. They there again is another strange state. Then i was raised in new york city and attended a private school for girls on the Upper East Side because my parents of course wanted me to have a wonderful and good education and its a very good School However when i went to school but i was episcopalian.
