Exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders would be welcome in Turkey: Erdogan

[HAIDER]

ISTANBUL: Turkey would welcome exiled leaders of Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood who have come under pressure to leave Qatar, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

A Brotherhood official said on Saturday that several members of the group were relocating after Qatar came under enormous pressure from other Gulf Arab states to cut support for the Islamist group.

"If they make any request to come to Turkey, we will review their request," Erdogan was quoted as telling reporters on his plane back from an official trip to Qatar late on Monday.

“If there are any reasons that would prevent them from coming to Turkey, they would be assessed. And if there aren't any obstacles, they would be granted the ease that is granted to everyone,” he said.

Turkey and Qatar have been some of the staunchest supporters of the Brotherhood, the movement of Egypt's former president Mohammed Morsi who was ousted by the army last July following mass protests against his turbulent year-long rule.

But other leading Gulf states have grown increasingly concerned about the Brotherhood after its prominent role in the Arab Spring, viewing the movement as a threat to their monarchic rule.

Egypt's military-installed authorities designated the Brotherhood a “terrorist organisation” last December.

Since then, the group's exiled leaders set up headquarters in several countries including Turkey, to where the leadership in Doha may now relocate.

Turks here is a history lesson for you:

In the 1960s things were bad between Arabists and Monarchists in the Middle East. There was one group of people who were opposed to the Arabists secularist approach, they called themselves the "Muslim Brotherhood", they were concentrated in a country called Egypt, and its president who was called Gamal Abdelnasser expelled then from Egypt.

Because monarchists hated Arabists so much one of them called Saudi Arabia decided to one up Gamal and house the exiled brotherhood leaders, you see in Saudi Arabia at the time there were movie theaters, women could wear whatever they wanted in public, and generally everything was relaxed.

Brotherhood leaders decided to do something they called "Al-Sahwah" which translates to "Awakening" so they urged the government and the religious establishment to force Sharia laws on the citizens, and thus many laws were passed that closed the TV, closed the Movie Theaters, beaches became off limits to women (who wore whatever they wanted mind you) and closed shops in prayer times, pretty much the Saudi Arabia we all know and love today.

So with this story in mind my dear Turks, what do you think of your decision to house them in your country? This is why I have a personal vendetta against the brotherhood, my mother fondly remembers the days before King Faisal decided to take them in.

UAE refused to follow the Muslim Brotherhood in the 60s and they were smart enough to stay away, look at them now, and look at us.

Haha! I wasn't aware the percentage of women wearing skirts determined how good a country was.
Terrible cherrypicking.

It does determine the level of personal freedom, which in turn determines how good a country is, don't you think?

It is a complex miasma of Family rigidity coupled with religious indoctrination and religious police harassments. But will a woman ever go to jail or be arrested for not wearing a cover? No. But she will get her day ruined I can tell you that much.

How are you sure MB was responsible for changing an entire culture?

The majority if not everybody in this forum has no idea about the history of Saudi Arabia, not at all. Not just this forum but in fact the entire world, unless you dig deep and cover old files and pictures of new articles in black and white and books long forgotten that it even existed, you will not find the true history of Saudi Arabia at all. Not even Saudis themselves are taught their own history subjectively.

When King Abdulaziz the founder of the third incarnation of the Saudi state declared the formation of the state, he wanted to follow the British experience to the letter. This included the nation to be a Secular state. This prompted a group of fighters known as the "Ikhwan" (Not to be confused with the Muslim Brotherhood, even though both of them are called Brotherhood) to revolt against King Abdulaziz because they wanted Sharia rulings. Their revolt failed and the state was established secular, part of the push to the future drive by King Abdulaziz. King Saud followed King Abdulaziz in this path after his death, however the MB infiltrated Saudi religious establishment (Which was US supported due to it being in opposition of Gamal Abdulnasser who was a Soviet ally) and with the help of King Faisal (The widely celebrated King of KSA, haha yeah right, if only people knew), dethroned King Saud for which he escaped to Egypt (Citing governmental corruption as the cause, essentially a religious coup).

King Faisal immediately invited the heavily prosecuted MB into the Kingdom, for which they gained a prominent position in the country and celebrated as religious heroes, and they started a social engineering project called (Al-Sahwah) for which we see the result of today.

Saudi Arabia in its establishment was a secular nation, King Saud was on the project of opening an elected parliament but all of that did not come to pass, and while US has its share of the blame for this, I blame the MB for enabling it, and ruining life in KSA for decades.

Interesting.
Do you have anything besides photos to show what early Saudi Arabia was like?

Perhaps King Faisal was responding to the rabid mentality of Leftists? By 1968, there was world-wide unrest against governments and their leaders.
