Anas Altikriti

In 2009 David Cameron, then leader of the opposition, made a statement during a Parliamentary Prime Ministers Questions, in which he alleged that TCF was a front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

[3] In late 2014 The Cordoba Foundation was listed as a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates,[4] along with the more than 75 various other international Muslim organisations which operate in a variety of fields.

After the 7 July 2005 London bombings, Altikriti found himself increasingly at odds with the MAB, many of whose members wanted a retreat from activism including involvement in the Stop the War Coalition in favor of educational/community development programmes.

[14] As a commentator in the International and Arab media (including BBC, CNN, ABC, SKY and Al-Jazeera)[citation needed] on Muslim and current affairs, he has appeared on HARDtalk and the Doha Debates (both with Tim Sebastian), Lateline on Australian ABC and BBC's Newsnight as well as a number of prominent programs on a variety of international channels.

[citation needed] He currently fronts a weekly debate show Sharqun Wa Gharb (East and West) on the Arab TV satellite station 'Al-Hiwar' (The Dialogue).

[citation needed] Although consistently calling for the fall and legal prosecution of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Anas Altikriti has opposed Western military intervention as well as the meddling of Iran and its regional proxies in propping the regime in Damascus.

[17] In 2009, David Cameron, then leader of the opposition, made a statement during a Parliamentary Prime Ministers Questions, in which he alleged that TCF was a front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

[8] According to Al-Tikriti: "'I was asked at a recent meeting with some of Washington’s wheelers and dealers about what the American government should do with the Islamic movements gaining prominence and claiming the limelight across the Arab world, I answered simply: support them … unless we encourage them and offer them an incentive, their own crop of hard-liners will have been proven right".

[18]This has been interpreted as a new iteration of Altikriti's previous lobbying strategy, which has sought to persuade Western governments that they should fund Brotherhood groups as moderate alternatives to al-Qaeda.
