(National-UAE) A British MP called for the Muslim Brotherhood to be proscribed as a terrorist group as politicians criticised its intolerance towards other faiths, during a parliamentary debate on the persecution of Christians.
Ian Paisley of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party said he would raise the matter with Britain’s home secretary, Priti Patel, within days.
The session also questioned why the UK government publicly said it stood for freedom of religion yet rolled out “the red carpet” for leaders such as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was accused of “being a problem for Christians.”
“The government should also move to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation that inspires hatred and attacks on Christians at home and abroad,” Mr Paisley said on Thursday.
