										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Dubai —</strong> In a recent podcast interview that has sparked renewed debate over the West’s handling of Islamist extremist groups, Amjad Taha, a prominent Emirati political analyst and regional affairs expert, issued a stark warning about the growing threat posed by Iran-backed terror networks and their expanding global reach.</p>



<p>Taha, a vocal critic of the Iranian regime and the Muslim Brotherhood, said the world is repeating the same mistakes that allowed Osama bin Laden to rise unchecked—this time, in places like Sudan and Gaza.</p>



<p>“The Houthis are now training members of Hamas and jihadists in Sudan to use drones,” Taha revealed. “They have access to Iranian drone technology, and it&#8217;s only a matter of time before they choose to strike—maybe tomorrow, maybe years from now. But it&#8217;s dangerous if we don&#8217;t deal with it.”</p>



<p>His comments come amid heightened concerns over drone warfare being deployed by non-state actors across the Middle East and Africa, as Iran continues to export advanced weaponry and ideological influence through its proxy networks.</p>



<p><strong>A Growing Danger in Sudan</strong></p>



<p>Taha expressed particular concern over Sudan, where, according to his claims, militant groups are preparing for larger-scale attacks using drone capabilities gained through Houthi and Iranian training programs.</p>



<p>“We are just waiting for another Bin Laden to grow in Sudan—to carry out another 9/11,” he warned. “And that’s exactly what’s happening. The world is waiting again.”</p>



<p>The political scientist criticized the international community, particularly Western nations, for ignoring early warnings and failing to act decisively against groups operating under religious or humanitarian cover.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The civilized world stands strongly with Israel against today’s Houthi terrorist attack from northern Yemen, where missiles targeted babies and women at Ben Gurion Airport. Disgracefully, some Muslim Brotherhood mosques in Paris and London celebrated this horror. Meanwhile, in… <a href="https://t.co/1lWVYSkEXR">pic.twitter.com/1lWVYSkEXR</a></p>&mdash; Amjad Taha أمجد طه (@amjadt25) <a href="https://twitter.com/amjadt25/status/1918966711791054972?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 4, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>The Muslim Brotherhood and the West</strong></p>



<p>Taha also highlighted the role of the Muslim Brotherhood, calling them the “ideological engine” behind many extremist movements. He applauded the UAE and other Gulf nations for formally banning the group and classifying it as a terrorist organization.</p>



<p>“Countries like mine, the UAE, have banned the Muslim Brotherhood and spoken clearly to the West about the dangers they pose,” he said. “But unfortunately, many of these extremists now operate freely in the West—masquerading as activists, lawyers, or human rights defenders.”</p>



<p>In a controversial segment, Taha referred to specific cases in the United Kingdom, where individuals with extremist ties allegedly defended criminals, including those involved in sexual abuse cases, under the guise of political or religious victimhood.</p>



<p>“When people speak out against these crimes, they’re called Islamophobic,” he said. “That is not Islam. Rape, terrorism, and criminal acts do not represent Islam or any religion.”</p>



<p>He stressed the need for freedom of speech to be protected when addressing such issues, warning against censorship disguised as tolerance.</p>



<p>“British citizens have every right to criticize these radicals. That is not Islamophobia; that is truth. But they [extremists] use the label to silence dissent.”</p>



<p><strong>A Call to Action</strong></p>



<p>Taha’s remarks also took aim at figures like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and other leaders whom he accused of using religion as a political weapon, while maintaining ties with Brotherhood-affiliated networks.</p>



<p>He drew parallels between the situations in Gaza, Sudan, Turkey, and even India, warning that the ideological infrastructure underpinning jihadist movements is transnational, and that failure to counter it now could have catastrophic consequences later.</p>



<p>“Whether it’s my brother in the UAE or a citizen in India, we face the same threat. Letting this ideology grow unchecked puts all of us at risk.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, his message is clear: ignore the warning signs now, and pay a much higher price later.</p>

<p><strong>Abu Dhabi —</strong> Prominent Emirati political scientist and regional affairs commentator Amjad Taha expressed unambiguous support on Sunday for Israel&#8217;s right to retaliate following a deadly Houthi missile strike targeting an airport packed with civilians.</p>



<p>Calling the attack an act of terror that goes beyond borders, Taha emphasized the broader implications of the strike, which reportedly endangered the lives of thousands of innocent women and children of all backgrounds.</p>



<p>“Israel has every right to respond with full force against the Houthi terrorists of northern Yemen—cowards who targeted an airport packed with thousands of innocent women and children of all faiths and backgrounds,” Taha said. “This was not just an attack on Israel; it was an attack on every airport from London to New York to Mumbai.”</p>

</div></figure>



<p>His remarks, shared via social media underline a growing sense of urgency among regional analysts over the expanding reach of Iran-backed militant networks—from Gaza to Yemen.</p>



<p>Taha, known for his outspoken criticism of Iran’s proxies and the Muslim Brotherhood, continued: “You don’t negotiate with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in Gaza or Iran’s proxies in Yemen, you eliminate them. Free your hostages. Crush your enemies. And show the civilised world that hell awaits those who wage war on humanity so the righteous may live in peace.”</p>



<p>His message echoes concerns voiced by Western and Gulf-aligned governments that see the Houthis’ involvement in cross-border attacks as a dangerous escalation of regional conflict, threatening both regional stability and international air safety.</p>



<p>Analysts note that Taha’s rhetoric, while blunt, reflects a hardening stance across parts of the Middle East against non-state actors emboldened by state sponsorship. His reference to hostages and broader regional threats comes amid heightened tensions in Gaza and increasing concerns over maritime and aerial security in the Red Sea corridor.</p>



<p>Though controversial, Taha’s position is likely to resonate with those advocating for a more aggressive posture toward militant groups that leverage international chaos to gain influence. It also aligns with broader efforts in the region to redefine alliances based on shared security threats, rather than historical rivalries.</p>



<p>As the international community weighs its response to the latest escalation, voices like Taha’s continue to shape the debate—calling for a clear stand against what he describes as “those who wage war on humanity.”</p>
