President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Nov. 24 to begin the process of designating Muslim Brotherhood affiliates as terrorist groups. “The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has developed into a transnational network with chapters across the Middle East and beyond,” Trump explained. He then singled out its chapters in Lebanon, Jordan , and Egypt for special focus. Bizarrely, however, he ignored Turkey and Qatar.

This makes about as much sense as banning Italian food without including pasta or pizza, or focusing all the state’s resources on prosecuting purveyors of osso buco.
