You forgot to ask if they support publicly funded abortions, lesbian marriage, lesbian parenting, lesbian adoption, wage protection for single mothers, welfare for single mothers, and probably a few other questions that would fit under the umbrella of women's rights within the context of conservatism.

But that might open a can of worms here.

What I will tell you is that many people consider the Muslim Brotherhood a conservative Islamic organization. They aren't on the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations.

I would suggest it is Islamophobia if one were to suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood is radical and terrorist. They aren't.
