I apologize for my ignorance, is this opposition between the Saudi Arabia government and the brotherhood still a big thing? I hadn’t heard about it for a long time and don’t know much about it.
Forget the sects, it's basic politics. The Muslim Brotherhood is an ideology that opposes monarchies.
Monarchies hate them.
tbh i'm not even sure why the muslim brotherhood is considered "bad". I've heard good things about them - they elected that morsi fellow right? they were pro-democracy, but socially conservative. Morsi went to iran and criticized them for not being democratic.. in TEHRAN. man had balls.
There's a pretty good thread about them here with a lot of different viewpoints if they're 'bad' or not: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/comments/y6589v/thoughts_on_the_muslim_brotherhood/
IMO they're mostly just incompetent, and I'm opposed to theocracies in general.
