“Social Justice” and the Muslim Brotherhood – Illusion and Reality

with Craig Considine

Craig Considine once believed the Muslim Brotherhood claim to advocate for “social justice,” so he defended and supported the Islamist organization. He then learned through bitter experience that the Brotherhood’s advocacy and activism for “justice” is but political theater and propaganda concealing a very different, dangerous, agenda. What is that agenda? How do Islamists use social justice activism to deceive well-meaning non-Muslims? What can Craig Considine’s journey into and away from the Muslim Brotherhood teach the rest of us?
