Abu Dhabi: While the Muslim Brotherhood enjoyed a lot of freedom and
influence in the early 1960s and 1970s, its popularity was dealt a sharp
blow in the 1990s after the government became highly suspicious of its
alternative motives.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s “conspiracy against the UAE” goes back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, an Emirati analyst said.
During those years, “the global movement of the Brotherhood decided to
invade the UAE and other Gulf states, through recruiting students who
studied abroad. Those students operated secretly through front
organisations like mafia-style gangs, money-laundering and espionage
rings,” Dr Ali Salem Humaid, chairman of the Al Mezmaah Centre for
Studies and Research, a Dubai-based think-tank, told Gulf News.
Dr Humaid added that the Brotherhood’s cell in the UAE influenced the
country’s education and judiciary until its political society Jammiyat
Al Islah, was dissolved in 1994.
Mansour Al Nuqaidan, a Saudi writer, quoted Mohammad Bin Ali Al
Mansouri, a former member of the Islah Society’s board, as saying that
the Islah had been dissolved after a complaint from Egypt that it
provided financial support to Al Jihad militant group, which was
affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and was involved in terrorist
acts.
