2. Muslim Brotherhood – 1928
The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Muslim sociopolitical organization founded in Egypt that seeks to according to many of its proponents, to establish Islamic states in democratic cultures. But the group’s religious sympathies and fundamentalism mean that it is abhorred by many in some of the countries the group is located.
The Muslim Brotherhood, through its party affiliate, the Freedom and Justice Party, contested elections in 2011 in Egypt and won with Mohamed Morsi emerging as Egypt’s first elected president.
