Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood has become one big mess
2016-01-05
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] It would be no exaggeration to say that Jordan's Moslem Brüderbund is perishing. Given the widening cracks within the long-established group, which led to hundreds of leaders recently submitting their mass resignation, the kingdom's Islamist movement is now as fragmented and weak as leftist powers. In other words, the dispute-plagued movement is no longer Jordan's largest opposition force.

Over the past year, the Moslem Brüderbund's prominent leaders have been jumping overboard, mostly for being fed up with the totalitarian attitude of the group's 'hawkish' leadership. Last week's mass resignation of 400 leaders and founding members of the Islamic Action Front
...Jordan's branch of the Moslem Brüderbund...
(IAF), the Moslem Brüderbund's political arm, was the most recent manifestation of fierce disputes within the group which, for decades, was well-known for being in harmony and having a solid structure.

One of the Islamist leaders whose membership in the Brotherhood was previously terminated by an internal tribunal, professor and columnist Rheil al-Gharaibeh, has founded Zamzam,
...named after Zamzam Cola, possibly no longer to be the soft drink of the Hajj?
a reform-oriented initiative which has been gaining ground and attracting conservative statesmen who long-opposed the Islamist movement. Zamzam is now a licensed body in Jordan with moderate socio-political tendencies and is highly expected to participate in the upcoming parliamentary election, expected in January 2017. This will definitely strike a big blow to the Brotherhood's trend of boycotting elections.

until the ideology of Islamism is broken, which means the utter defeat of the idea of sharia as legally enforceable

then we have lost

and everything else is just detail
