Since its founding in 1945, the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood has
enjoyed decades of almost continuous parliamentary presence and
state acceptance in Jordan, participating in elections, organising
events and even establishing a hospital. In this detailed account
of the Muslim Brotherhood's ideological and behavioural development
in Jordan, Joas Wagemakers focusses on the group's long history and
complex relationship with the state, its parliament and society. It
shows how age-old concepts derived from classical Islam and the
writings of global Islamist scholars have been used and reused by
modern-day Jordanian Islamists to shape their beliefs in the
context of the present-day nation-state. Far from its reputation as
a two-faced global conspiracy bent on conquering the West, the
Muslim Brotherhood is a deeply divided group that has nevertheless
maintained a fascinating internal ideological consistency in its
use of similar religious concepts. As such, it is part of, and
continues to build on, trends in Muslim thought that go back
hundreds of years.
