The news has come that the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) is designated a terror organization in the US. The truth is that this has not yet become an official decision made by the US. It is true that for the time being, the US House of Representatives Justice Committee has accepted a draft resolution requesting that Ikhwan be listed as a terror organization. The draft was accepted with 17 votes against 10, with the support of Republicans. Of course, there is a long way ahead before the draft can turn into a decision. After going through the justice committee, this draft still has to go to the Office of the General Counsel of the House of Representatives, and if accepted there, it will pass to the Senate and then to US President Barack Obama for approval.
