The society of the Muslim Brothers – from ideology to terrorism

Abstract

After victory in democratic elections, political forces representing the Muslim Brotherhood made an unsuccessful attempt at Islamization of the country and the seizure of power. The activities of the Brotherhood were banned and its activists arrested. In addition, the new Egyptian authorities have recognized the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Premature identification of the organization as a terrorist organization by the West could cause unexpected results and lead to chaos in the already unstable Islamic world. This does not change the fact that the network of organizations and interconnections, established by the Association of Muslim Brothers, based on an ideology that not only justifies the use of terror, but actually calls for its use, gave rise to the movements and organizations that pose a threat to international security.
