Muslim Brotherhood: the "Islamic Solution"


Muslim Brothers attacked the West, but they didn’t reject all. They promoted a selective criticism to Western ideology (Al-Banna often referred to Western thinkers). There was a European influence indeed.

Nationalism and national unity: Al-Banna tried to avoid disruptive confrontation among different Islamic traditions in order to create a form of cohesion.

Social justice.

They referred not just to the man, but to the Muslim ➔ ideological training (theoretical and practical). Practical training was aimed at moving the Islamic personality of the members.

By defining a wide range of duties, the society has de facto created a ranking based on merit and not on tradition or patronage. The other parties (Communist, Wafd) used to have an aristocratic structure, and it was the main difference.
