He discusses anti-Semitism, radicalisation, the role of British institutions, and why he believes many Western governments have failed to confront the problem.The conversation also explores the UAE's approach to combating extremism, the Abraham Accords, the future of the Middle East, and the wider struggle between Islamist ideology and states seeking stability and coexistence. We examine Britain's relationship with the Gulf, the war in Sudan, and why Amjad believes the West has misunderstood its allies in the region.Finally, we turn to Iran and the aftermath of the recent conflict with Israel and the United States. Amjad explains why he believes the current ceasefire is only temporary, argues that the Iranian regime remains the greatest threat to regional stability, and warns that the next confrontation may be even more dangerous.Don't forget to check out our merch store: https://www.thebrinkmerch.com/Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:12 How The Muslim Brotherhood Gains Influence07:55 Iran, Hamas & The Silence Of British Politicians12:27 How Islamists Use Democracy Against The West15:32 Universities, Mosques & Radicalisation22:26 What Is The Muslim Brotherhood?28:32 How The Brotherhood Changes Society32:01 Should Britain Ban The Muslim Brotherhood?35:15 Public Prayer Or Political Power?39:35 How Much Influence Does The Muslim Brotherhood Have In Britain?46:28 Is The Problem Islam Or Islamism?
