The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the US designation of the Muslim Brotherhood branches in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as terrorist organizations, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.
In a statement issued by its General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Organization of Muslim Scholars Chairman Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, emphasized that “Islam is not represented by those who deviate from its principles and values, nor by those who distort the meanings of its texts to justify extremism and violence, or exploit them to stir discord, divide the Islamic community, and destabilize societies in pursuit of narrow political and factional interests.”
He reaffirmed the stance of the MWL alongside that of the global Islamic community in categorically rejecting and condemning violence and terrorism in all forms, irrespective of their origin or pretext.
He also denounced the religious and ideological extremism that fuels such acts, which continue to threaten global security and undermine the stability and prosperity of societies worldwide.
