      He isn’t reporting it to the government. Do you remember something called separation of powers?

      The courts aren’t part of the government and officially the government shouldn’t be able to influence the courts decisions.

      Unfortunately we’ve seen that barrier weaken in most of the world recently.

      I don’t know what the situation on this is in France.

    The French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, who’s the one who accused Benzema of those links, is a known racist, homophobe and islamophobe (he just hates minorities in general and believes they shouldn’t exist in France) who was involved in a rape lawsuit (I think the investigations are still ongoing but I’m not sure). He’s minister who was in charge for the 2022 UCL final and blamed Liverpool fans for the chaos that ensued and believed they deserved the brutal treatment they received from the police.

    If he had the slightest, smallest, most insignificant link with the brotherhood, he wouldn’t walk free for three seconds in Saudi Arabia.

    Source: I’m from Saudi Arabia, the government doesn’t tolerate anyone who is even remotely affiliated with the brotherhood.

        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.

            The Muslim Brotherhood is bad because of political violence associated with it, Islamist (think Saudi-level) but different school of thought). Just because you encourage democracy doesn’t make you a good group.

              ? it literally does.

              political violence is associated with palestinians and muslims generally in western media and zionist narratives anyways.

              for instances, y’all think jihad is a terrorist slogan, as is allah hu ackbar. *rolleyes*

              So gimme a break with that “associated with political violence”. That’s so ambiguous as fuck.

        The Brotherhood is basically just moderate ISIS. They’re Pan Islamists who want a worldwide caliphate based on Sharia, the difference with ISIS is that their practice of Islam is more mainstream and they’re more ambivalent on the use of political violence

        But that doesn’t matter too much, what does matter is the worldwide caliphate part. In the MB’s ideal world, they’d depose the Gulf Monarchies to add them to the Islamic superstate. This is why Saudis and UAE view them as an existential threat

          If only Non-Muslims were aware of this fact. There is nothing stronger than a Muslim’s love for another Muslim, yet simultaneously the opposite is also true. I’m not sure if you’re aware of sects in Islam, but extremists from the two major sects (Sunni’s and Shia’s) absolutely despise each other to the point where they’ll claim the other isn’t a true Muslim.

              Obviously the vast majority don’t agree with these extremist views, I’m just referring to the 1% of people who say it out of pure spite and hatred. Although I’m well aware it’s more likely for a Sunni to say it than a Shia. Hell, I don’t have to look further than my own family - one of my uncles actually believes that Shia’s aren’t true Muslims. It’s crazy.

                Yes but I say this as someone raised Sunni, Sunni sectarianism (to the point of denial of their Muslimhood) towards Shi’a is far far more prevalent than the other way around.

            There is nothing more annoying than people starting a post by implying they know their stuffs only to end up with the most basic, ignorant conclusions.

            Those you call extremists are not the extremists of Shia or Sunna,they are their own thing, ISIS is for instance is just a modern freak that combine aspects from the Khawarij and the Assassins with modernist/post-modern elements.

            Keep in mind that Sunna weren’t formed as a “sect”, they were the anti-sect guys as such they were always defined as the opposite to whatever new sect was rising untill around the forth-fifth century where the madrassa system started spreading, and who was the very first sect to immerge? The Khawarij, so imagine how annoying it is to confuse sunnists with their very first enemy, Shai weren’t even THAT relevant for many centuries and the prime ideological opponents for sunnist were the Mu’utazillies and similair sects for most of the early centuries.

              Not a Muslim, but isn’t it more accurate to just call them Wahabists? It seems to be a pretty accurate description of their ideology than the Isma’ili Assassins and the Khawarij.

                No, that is a huge miconception. Wahhabis are specifically the Saudi-brand of salafism. They tend to generally be pro-Saudi (which ISIS certainly isn’t). But it is true that Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahhab’s takfirism (excommunication) has influenced all terror groups. In academia, these groups are usually referred to as “takifirs”.

                Meanwhile the Taliban is something all together. They aren’t salafi or wahhabi.
