Spotlight on Muslim Brotherhood Affiliates
In a major signal that Islamist terrorism and its animating ideology will not be tolerated, the Trump administration’s latest executive order designates the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) a terrorist organization. Yet, the Brotherhood has long since splintered following Egypt’s closure of its Cairo headquarters. The administration’s actions will affect some MB-affiliated groups, but their degree of influence today is debatable.
While the order singles out some MB organizations, others are conspicuously absent. What becomes of those U.S.-based factions that emerged from and retain their loyalty to the MB? MEF staff and fellows analyze these and other related issues.

Middle East Forum Observer
Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
