It is important to mention historical violence, and modern groups that espouse violence, however it is important to make distinctions between various groups i.e. Egypt's muslim brotherhood and Syria's so not as to blanket the entire organisation and cuase Wikipedia's neutrality or accuracy to come into question [[Special:Contributions/70.69.172.92|70.69.172.92]] ([[User talk:70.69.172.92|talk]]) 10:26, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Pardon, the MB still practices violence against Egypt's religious minorities. All denials aside, this article whitewashes its ongoing record of violence, arson, rape and murder.

My edits

The way the article is written makes it seem that all of the movement still espouses violence. My added edits are an attempt to prove that is not the case. All of the edits are backed by the sources. There is no reason to remove them. The way the article is presently written presents a distorted image of what the Muslim Brotherhood are. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:40, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because it still does espouse violence. --112.210.36.131 (talk) 21:21, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon, the MB still practices violence against Egypt's religious minorities. All denials aside, this article whitewashes its ongoing record of violence, arson, rape and murder.


Mistake?

First paragraph: "In 2012, it became the first democratically elected political party in Egypt, but it is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of [...] Egypt..." Sorry, I'm not very well educated so maybe I'm missing something here but how did they get "democratically elected" in Egypt while being considered a terrorist organization? 94.2.226.27 (talk) 18:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, they were democratically elected as a political party and there wasn't any terrorism etc. going on except the ISIS linked groups in Sinai, but after the military Coup and new election, they have been re-branded terrorists, if you ask me its what always happens in the middle east, the military gets resented for torturing on behalf of a dictator than they overthrow somebody to regain support. Net result = dictatorship. I guess we can wait and see if this will turn out another dictator or if democratic elections take place once more, but technically it was democratically elected until the coup branded it terrorist, and this current gov is democratic until they rig elections etc. I guess and turn it back to a dictatorship — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.168.225 (talk) 00:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Society of the Muslim Brothers (Arabic: جماعة الإخوان المسلمين‎), shortened to the Muslim Brotherhood (الإخوان المسلمون al-Ikhwān al-Muslimūn), is a transnational Islamist organization founded in Egypt by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna in 1928.[1][2][3][4] The organisation gained supporters throughout the Arab world and influenced other Islamist groups with its "model of political activism combined with Islamic charity work",[5] and in 2012 sponsored the first democratically elected political party in Egypt. However, it suffered from periodic government crackdowns for alleged terrorist activities, and as of 2015 is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain,[6][7] Egypt, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.[8][9][10][11]

The Brotherhood's stated goal is to instill the Qur'an and Sunnah as the "sole reference point for ... ordering the life of the Muslim family, individual, community ... and state."[12] Its mottos include "Believers are but Brothers", "Islam is the Solution", and "Allah is our objective; the Qur'an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of Allah is our wish."[13][14][15] It is financed by members, who are required to allocate a portion of their income to the movement,[16] and was for many years financed by Saudi Arabia, with whom it shared some enemies and some points of doctrine.[16][17]

As a Pan-Islamic, religious, and social movement, it preached Islam, taught the illiterate, set up hospitals and business enterprises. The group spread to other Muslim countries but has its largest, or one of its largest, organizations in Egypt despite a succession of government crackdowns in 1948,[18][19] 1954,[20] 1965, and 2013 after plots, or alleged plots, of assassination and overthrow were uncovered.[21][22][23] Over the years it also developed branches in other Muslim countries.

The Arab Spring brought it legalisation and substantial political power at first, but as of 2013 it has suffered severe reversals.[24] The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood was legalized in 2011 and won several elections,[25] including the 2012 presidential election when its candidate Mohamed Morsi became Egypt's first democratically elected president. One year later, however, following massive demonstrations, Morsi was overthrown by the military and arrested. As of 2014, the organization has been declared a terrorist group both in Egypt and by its erstwhile ally Saudi Arabia, and is once again suffering a severe crackdown in Egypt[8][26] as well as pressure in other Arab countries.[27] The Brotherhood itself insists it is a peaceful, democratic organization,[28][29] and its leader "condemns violence and violent acts".[30] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.149.15.31 (talk) 07:58, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why Brotherhood?

Reading this article, I fell one piece of information is missing: the article does not explain why the organization is labeled Brotherhood.

  • Is it, for instance a word reused from the koran?
  • Is it, for instance a word reused from another organization?
  • Or is it a reuse from the English language and occidental organizations structures?

and why? Why not to give this piece of information with reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.188.253 (talk) 20:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

some more countries with brotherhood activity

there was no mention of Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, or India. as all these countries have large Sunni Muslim populations it seems vary likely that the Muslim Brotherhood is in those places too. adding more countries to the list of places where the Brotherhood is active and how the governments have responded will give readers a more complete view of how the brotherhood works worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.243.173 (talk) 17:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
