Actually, Avenger, I am quite aware of the claims made about the role which the British authorities played in the initial formation of the Muslim Brotherhood. Although I have yet to see anything which constitutes substantial proof of these allegations, I wouldn't be in the least surprised that they were true. The role which the British and American intelligence services have played in covertly influencing Middle East affairs in the decades following the Second World War has been widely documented.
However, I am of the opinion that our alleged 'control' over this organization, if indeed it ever existed, has been diminished to the point of nothing over a period of many, many decades. I do not see our hand in current events. Things change. Obama Bin Laden, for example, was once funded by the CIA; but it would take a hardened conspiracy theorist indeed to suggest that they were complicit in all of his actions since the mid-nineties.
