MICHAEL WALSH TRUTH NEWS You couldn’t make this shit up except in Absurdistan UK.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has slashed grants for studying in the UK. They are concerned that UK universities radicalize Arab students.

The Emirates has restricted funding for students wishing to study in Britain over the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence on campuses.

The Gulf country believes students there are targeted by Islamist groups, while on British campuses, in particular the Muslim Brotherhood.

The transnational Islamist organization is recognized as a terrorist group in the UAE.  

The UAE said it will no longer provide educational grants. These grants cover tuition, accommodation, and other expenses for students wishing to study in the UK.

It is not imposing a blanket ban on studying in the country. Those willing to pay for their education are still free to do so.

Last June, the Emirati higher education ministry published a list of universities. Scholarship grants would be approved for these institutions. No British institutions were mentioned.

The omission was not an oversight, and the latest move had been under consideration for some time. The UAE don’t want their kids to be radicalized on campus.

The Emirates took action against the Muslim Brotherhood. It is a loosely organized international Islamist network. This network originally emerged in Egypt in the 1920s. The action followed the 2011 so-called Arab Spring.

The series of uprisings driven by Islamists toppled multiple governments across the Middle East and North Africa. This plunged several nations, including Syria and Libya, into years of bloody civil war.  

Welcomed in Keir Starmer’s Absurdistan, the UAE outlawed the organization domestically.

It has been pushing for international recognition of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. The group has already been outlawed in Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and several other nations.  

Late last year, US President Donald Trump designated several Muslim Brotherhood offshoots and affiliated individuals as terrorists. He stopped short of labelling the organisation itself as such.

France has been considering a similar move. A government report released last May explicitly stated this. The country’s authorities positively established ’the anti-Republican and subversive nature of the Muslim Brotherhood.’
