Hijab and Muslim Brotherhood: The Islamization of Egypt

[StrikerX]

Effects of Islamism

University of Cairo: Number of Hijab-wearing female students

1959: None
1978: None
1995: 35%
2004: 90%

Screenshots from documentary "Freedom, Equality and Muslim Brotherhood" (plz search on Google)

This is a documentary worth-watching. Its made by a Muslim, about the rise of Muslim Brotherhood in Arab world and western countries. Features MB chief Mahdi Akef, brother of Ikhwan founder Gamaal al-Banna (who disagrees with founder Hasan al-Banna) and other influential people...

One reason for this is the labor export to Saudi Arabia. Just like Pakistanis, thousands of Egyptian workers went to work in Gulf States for higher wages, and they came back infected with Wahhabi ideas. That conservatism became the base for Muslim Brotherhood to develop its influence.

In those times (1950's, 1960's and 1970's) hardly any female students in major Arab cities wore a hijab. The times were just like that. You can find pictures of unveiled Saudi Arabian women in public in KSA and on beaches from that time period walking around local and foreign men without this causing much of a problem. I once posted those photos in a similar discussion and others from the Arab world to prove a point for ignorants.

Notice, such practices occurred among the middle and upper classes of the urban population. Far from among all anyway but students were one such group in general. It was the time of so-called Arab nationalism and very secular rulers.

You can find such photos from all across the Arab and Muslim world in that time period and it says nothing or very little about the overall population in Muslim country x or y of that time.

Your post is nonsense too on another front.

The whole MB ideology and modern political Islamism was created in Egypt almost 100 years ago and has nothing to do with the GCC.

You need to read about modern Arab history (last 100 years) a bit before before posting such threads.

Besides a hijab has nothing to do with Islamism. Most of those women on those pictures are Muslim with a minority of Christian Copts obviously.

I know Muslim women who do not wear a hijab who are more practicing Muslims and know more about Islam than some who are wearing a hijab.

Same with the "beard or no beard" analogy. Absolute nonsense from the beginning to the end.

Also why do the photos have Swedish text on them from what I can detect?

More simplicity and beauty in hijab

 

[insight-out]

While the MB is influential, I do not believe they have the support of the majority of Egypt's population. I would be cautious about linking the higher prevalence of hijab with the influence of MB, or even Saudi Arabia. You will find many, many hijab wearing, practicing Muslims who dislike the MB.

Like you said, the "salafi" influence is but one of the reasons. I think it is a general trend that has more to do with reasserting one's cultural identity. It's more like a reaction, a swing back of the pendulum from where Egypt was up until the 60s, maybe 70s.

Demographic data of the the hijab wearing segment of society would be quite interesting to see. I suspect, it is more prevalent in the more educated, middle class segment.

Another BS thread.

What is Islamization? Following Islam? get your head out of your arse they've been doing that for centuries.

Wearing a hijab or not is the choice of the individual, every one can make up their own minds.

People being more aware of their faith is a good thing, better than being a stooge of the "secularist" west i.e. sisi.

The so called as you put it "islamisation" is a phenomenon that can not be curtailed no matter how much oppression is occurred.

PS i have no favouritism towards ikhwan

One reason for this is the labor export to Saudi Arabia. Just like Pakistanis, thousands of Egyptian workers went to work in Gulf States for higher wages, and they came back infected with Wahhabi ideas.

so hijab has nothing to do with Islam? Quran does not mention hijab? hijab is "wahabi" no muslims wore hijab before 1980?

That conservatism became the base for Muslim Brotherhood to develop its influence.

yeah ikhwan is so powerful and influential now that they can't even hold on to power more than 1 year

Hijab is not a Wahabi idea it's a consensus among all schools of thoughts in Islam. @waz and @Slav Defence close this thread

Islamization is the Arab culture spread through Islamic teachings and conservative schools of thought, basically Arab assimilation through Islam. Genius.

i have my own school of thought.

the deoband mullah movement of india greatly influenced the brotherhood's ideologue, sayyid qutb... actually, the deoband mullah school and its missionary arm, the tableeghi jamaat, are responsible for most "muslim" terrorist groups in the world.

Why so fearful of words on a page, Zaravaan?

If you know anything about the modern political ideology of Islamism, you would know that Islamist are unsuccessful at polls, but very successful in setting the boundaries of social discourse. Read Vali Nasr's book on Jamat e Islami.

What is Islamization? Following Islam? get your head out of your arse they've been doing that for centuries.

By "Islamization", I mean the rise of political Islamism. Not Islam.

Hijab is personal Choice ..

Hijab is only a choice when other dress choices have been slut-shamed into non-existence.

so hijab has nothing to do with Islam? Quran does not mention hijab? hijab is "wahabi" no muslims wore hijab before 1980?

Nowhere did I say Hijab is "Wahhabi". And no, hijab is not in the Quran. If you watched the documentary you would know. Hasan al-Banna's own sister didn't wear the hijab. Hijab is a political statement. A logo for Islamists.

In those times (1950's, 1960's and 1970's) hardly any female students in major Arab cities wore a hijab. The times were just like that.

Those were time when socialist wave was at its peak and Islamists were still figuring it out. Later developments are due to aggressive evangelism of Ikhwaan over decades.

 

[Styx]

Egyptians should completely reject this black jail bag culture of a minority of fundamentalist crazies and hang morsi the terrorist asap.

good thing they have a real leader like Gen el-Sisi in command for now.

Evidently there is no clear interpretation/meaning of islamisation. Everyone cherry picks the word to go alongside their narrative.

Islam is a whole way of life which encompasses literally everything in life including politics.

99.9% of muslims could be classed as islamists then.

Is this Islamization .... Or 'Arab Culture ... ?? (as you suggest )
