The Truth about the danger of Muslim Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has had a negative impact on politics due to various factors. Initially rising to power after the Arab uprisings, Mohamed Morsi's presidency led to exclusionary politics, majoritarianism, and polarization, alienating segments of the population.

Furthermore, the Brotherhood's confrontational approach post-2013 aimed at delegitimizing the regime, damaging its image, and incriminating its leaders.

This negative impact extended to the confiscation of their properties and loss of public support, making their return to the political scene challenging.

The movement's internal divisions and conflicts, coupled with external pressures and bans in other Arab countries, have weakened its political influence in the region, including in Jordan.

Egyptian authorities have branded the Muslim Brotherhood a “terrorist organization” since 2014.

Security authorities in Egypt have previously accused the Muslim Brotherhood of spreading “lies” related to prisons, prisoners, and the country's conditions.

Most of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders lie in Egyptian prisons over accusations of “violence and murder” acts that erupted following the ousting of former President Mohamed Morsi from power on July 3, 2013 after the popular protests.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has described the Muslim Brotherhood as “very dangerous”.

“All the extremist organizations in Saudi Arabia, we treat them as terrorist organizations, like the Muslim Brotherhood. They are very dangerous, and they are classified in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and a lot of countries in the Middle East as a terrorist organization,” the Crown Prince said.

“They’re not in the Middle East because they know that the Middle East is taking good strategy against them in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Jordan, and a lot of countries. Their main target is to radicalize Muslim communities in Europe.”
