President Donald Trump is going to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. 

Just the News reports that Trump indicated as much over the weekend.

Many are arguing that this is long overdue.

The details:

Just the News obtained the inside scoop on this story.

Per the outlet:

President Donald Trump told Just the News on Sunday morning that he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, striking a blow against a group long blamed for destabilizing the Middle East and radicalizing young Muslims. "It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms," Trump said. "Final documents are being drawn."

It does not appear at the time of this writing that Trump has officially gone ahead and labeled the group a terrorist organization. But, the move does appear to be in progress.

The New York Post reports:

The move comes on the heels of advocacy from think tanks and lawmakers in Congress. Last week, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations in the state.

The designation will have the effect of cutting off financing and other means of support for the group.

Background

Just the News has recently exposed the Muslim Brotherhood in reporting.

The outlet reported:

The Brotherhood was founded by Sunni imam Hassan al-Banna in Egypt in 1928, with the aim of establishing an Islamic state — a caliphate — which would be governed by sharia law. Sayyid Qutb — a major thinker for and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s — was an Egyptian revolutionary whose promotion of jihad is believed to have inspired more modern jihadists such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The Daily Mail recalls how the Obama administration once "welcomed" the Islamic extremist group.

Per the outlet:

Representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood met with a number of US officials, including staffers from former President Barack Obama's White House, back in 2012 after Egypt's revolution. Back during the Obama era, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told Politico that 'Following Egypt's revolution' the US 'broadened ... engagement to include new and emerging political parties and actors.'

Trump, clearly, is taking the country in a different direction.
