Why Arabs No Longer Trust the Muslim Brotherhood

Since its establishment in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood’s main motto has been “Islam is the solution” (to all problems). The organization’s followers have used this slogan over the past decade to rise to power in a number of countries, including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Sudan.

The past few weeks, however, have shown that many Arabs and Muslims no longer believe in the Muslim Brotherhood’s ability to govern or in the claim that “Islam is the solution.”

As Moroccan writer Saeed Nashed said, “The Muslim Brotherhood took Morocco into a decade of darkness.”
