About The Failure Of The Muslim Brotherhood In The Arab
Product Description The book begins by looking at the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in 1928 in Egypt. It then traces its ideology and expansion via the various affiliate organizations in the Arab world as well as its international presence up to the present day. Throughout this historical analysis, evidence is presented linking the MB again and again to political violence and a lack of a coherent policy. The book weaves into this history the influence of Qatari support, a clarification of the division between true Salafism and the MB's radical ideology, an explanation of how Jamal Khashoggi was a living metaphor for this misunderstanding, and the role the MB has played in various revolutionary movements throughout the Middle East. The book concludes with a current geopolitical outlook on the MB itself and the Arab world in which it resides. The book is extensively sourced with first-hand primary source quotes from numerous exclusive personal interviews conducted by the author, with both experts on the subject and officials in the region. Review "Recommended. All levels." ― Choice Review "This book documents excellently the failure of the Muslim Brotherhood to gain and retain power in the Middle East. By assessing the experiences of the Muslim Brotherhood or its offshoots in each of the relevant countries in the Middle East, the book provides not only information on the failure but more importantly a historical analysis of the basis of the failure. One leaves the book clearly understanding that the Muslim Brotherhood never had a clear vision and detailed plan of state-building since its ideology of the Muslim Umma excludes the concept of nation-state." -- Dr. Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, Former Under-Secretary-General, Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund, and Former Member, Shura Council (Consultative Council), Saudi Arabia About the Author Nawaf Obaid is an author and academic and a former Saudi Arabian government advisor.
