The UK postponed publishing a report on the Muslim Brotherhood Review as well as the government's new counter-extremism strategy until after the parliamentary elections due in May, the British Home Office told Ahram newspaper Tuesday. UK Prime Minister, David Cameron had launched in 2014 an internal governmental review on the philosophy, activities and impact on national interests of the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the UK policies towards the organization. The review team, led by Sir John Jenkins, former UK ambassador to Saudi Arabia, finished its work in July 2014, but the government still has not released the review's final report. "I would like to update the House [the UK parliament] that a report into the main findings of the Muslim Brotherhood Review will be published alongside the Government's new counter-extremism strategy," Cameron had told the MPs in a written statement. "As we consider broader policy questions emerging from the review and the wider strategy, it is clear that further, more comprehensive measures will be required in the next Parliament to tackle the threat from extremism in the UK," the government told the parliament in its statement. Media predicts that Sir John Jenkins' review finds that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization, and that delaying the report is due to disputes between security services and concerned ministers, Al Ahram reported today. The Egyptian government had requested the UK to put the MB on its list of terrorist organizations. The UK had turned down the request, claiming lack of evidence linking the MB to terrorist activities in the UK and abroad.
