Abstract
Abstract This chapter analyzes the Muslim Brotherhood’s call for reform through its media discourse. The Brotherhood initially aimed to mobilize as many followers as possible by embracing all Islamic communities, but it later fragmented into different ideas and loyalties. The chapter traces the Brotherhood’s ideological transformation through five key historical moments and argues that the lack of a unanimous understanding of sharīʿa as the primary tenet of an Islamic state has hindered the implementation of political and religious reforms. The flexibility and adaptability of Brotherhood ideas have driven members and supporters, particularly the young generation, to join other groups with more explicit ideologies, such as the Salafists. Despite this, the Muslim Brotherhood has mobilized a massive audience, making the organization rather than the ideology the most important variable in its success.
