11: Hair on Fire

British Origins of the Muslim Brotherhood

Citing former UK Member of Parliament George Galloway, the hosts discuss the historical claim that the British government helped found and nurture the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during the 1950s. The organization was allegedly used as a tool to undermine Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser. This historical context is used to suggest that the group is still being utilized for geopolitical purposes today.
