The MAB was described by Michael Gove as the UK affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international and complex network of Islamist organisations. Islamism is a political ideology that believes that predominantly Muslim countries should be run according to a form of government drawn from Islam’s holy book, the Quran. Islamism has many branches. Some Islamist groups are so extreme they are also terrorist – but that is not true for every such organisation. The MAB denies it is an affiliate group and says it has long worked within the law and alongside agencies including the police. In 2015, then PM David Cameron commissioned a report into the Muslim Brotherhood including any activities in the UK.
