Controversy
Spreading of radical ideas
On 23 November, 2017, the International Islamic Council was designated as a terrorist Organization and was added to the Anti-Terrorism Quartet Watchlist for Anti Terrorism by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and UAE.
This followed the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis and Qatar's affiliation with supporting the Muslim brotherhood and facilitating the spreading of radical views and extremist agendas and propaganda throughout the Arab world.
