Trouble for the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan
June 10th, 2008 by Adam
At Abu Aardvark, there is a look into the political difficulties facing the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan. The MB’s previous tacit agreement with the Hashemite monarchy broke down after the 2005 hotel bombings and Hamas’ electoral victory. The repressive crackdown on the organization has emboldened hardliners and radicals whose commitment to political participation is tenuous. This has produced a dangerous dynamic in which the youth of the MB are disillusioned with political participation because, “…their experience is of repression and regime manipulation.”
