Muslim Brotherhood: The Enemy Within?

I was going to post this in Gromit's thread but reasoned it deserved one of its own.
Why has this taken so long? And which charities are directly/indirectly involved? The report should be interesting(when finally published), as is the decision not to proscribe them, much to the Saudi's chagrin.

The Government has stated that they have uncovered 'a complex web' which will be the reason they will say it has taken so long but when coupled with the other link from Gromit regarding the financier, which the US acted on 10 months ago, makes it sound more like being dilatory frankly.

[Gromit]

Is that the same Muslim Brotherhood we helped into power in Egypt?

The UK's Foreign Policy (Mirroring the US) has been one of utter confusion during the Coalition Government's term.

We have gone from supporting the 'rebels' to condemning them in so many countries.

It gives the impression that we have no idea what is happening. Or the consequences of our actions.

Speaking for myself, gromit, they confuse the heck out of me. Again, last week, talk of training 'good rebels' to depose Assad, just when you think we might be needing him.

Also confused. Haven't had time to read the link, sorry. Can I say that it is a separatist organisation? I.e. concentrating on being Muslim. I know that other groups also do this, but it behoves muslims to be integrationists in their host country (UK) which is certainly not of a Muslim heritage. I understand the need of immigrants to socialise with others of their common background, but this should be minimal in their aspirations to be mainstream. I'm an immigrant myself, here, and this is obvious to me. Perhaps I've got it all wrong regarding OP and should shut up, if so apologies in advance are offered.

Perhaps you would lend the Government your crystal ball Gromit. And as you seem such a military expert perhaps some of your great wisdom?

Or as a liberal are you just sitting on the fence sniping after the event?
