| Summary: | The Muslim Brotherhood is often represented in mainstream media as a theocratic organization that preaches Qur'an-based violence and is out to grab power in the West. As this book shows, such representations are wrought with prejudice and oversimplification, the organization is in reality much more dynamic and diverse. Its goals, ideology and influence have never been static and vary greatly among its descendants in both Europe and the Middle East. Joas Wagemakers introduces the reader to this fascinating organization and the major ideological and historical developments that it has gone through since its emergence in 1928. |
