Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed<\/a>, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has posted a video of the rare total lunar eclipse that was visible in the UAE sky on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

The video shows the Blood Moon <\/a>at different stages, until the eclipse concludes, as seen from the Burj Khalifa area.<\/p>\n

The spectacular celestial event lasted more than five hours, charming stargazers across the world.<\/p>\n

The eclipse reached its peak at 10.12pm and totality continued until 10.53pm.<\/p>\n

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up perfectly, with the planet casting its shadow across the Moon. This blocks sunlight from directly reaching the surface of the Moon.<\/p>\n

Instead of going completely dark, the Moon glows red because Earth\u2019s atmosphere bends sunlight, filtering out the blue wavelengths and allowing the warmer red and orange tones to pass through, earning it the Blood Moon nickname.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next total lunar eclipse will be visible in UAE skies on December 31, 2028, while a partial eclipse is expected on July 6, 2028.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Hamdan has a large following on social media, including 17 million on Instagram, where he often posts pictures of life in UAE.<\/p>\n

Key findings of Jenkins report
\nFounder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, “accepted the political utility of violence”
\nViews of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have \u201cconsistently been understood\u201d as permitting \u201cthe use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society\u201d and \u201cnever been institutionally disowned\u201d by the movement.
\nMuslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
\nLaying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: “The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism.”

Killing of Qassem SuleimaniFarage on Muslim Brotherhood<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage told Reform’s annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
“We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country,” he said. “Quite why we’ve been so gutless about this \u2013 both Labour and Conservative \u2013 I don’t know.
\u201cAll across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.\u201d
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat’s findings was an assessment that \u201cthe use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society\u201d has \u201cnever been institutionally disowned\u201d by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a “possible indicator of extremism” but it would not be banned.<\/p>\n
