What the U.S. Gets Wrong About the Muslim Brotherhood - CONFLICTED
Description
In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks with Lorenzo Vidino, Director of the Programme on Extremism at The George Washington University.

The early history of Islam in America
The first Brotherhood-linked students arriving in the U.S. in the 50s and 60s
The formation of the first American Brotherhood cells
The Brotherhood’s gradual institutional influence across the 80s and 90s
Why CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is so controversial
Germany’s three-fold classification system and what the U.S. can learn from it
