THE RADICALIZATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST:
_The Muslim Brotherhood’s Spark and Its Global Ripple Effects_

The Middle East, a region rich in cultural and religious diversity,
has undergone profound radicalization over the past century, with the
Muslim Brotherhood playing a pivotal role in igniting this
transformation. Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the
Muslim Brotherhood emerged as a response to Western colonialism and
the perceived erosion of Islamic values. Its ideology, blending
political activism with a call for a return to strict Islamic
governance, sowed the seeds for a broader wave of extremism that
reshaped the region and reverberated globally. This radicalization,
marked by the imposition of strict dress codes for women and the rise
of militant groups, has fueled terrorism, threats, and attempts at
cultural colonization in Western countries.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s vision was rooted in the belief that
secular nationalism and Western influence were corrupting Muslim
societies. Al-Banna advocated for an Islamic state governed by Sharia
law, a message that gained traction amid post-colonial
disillusionment. By the 1950s, the Brotherhood’s influence spread
beyond Egypt, inspiring offshoots in Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Its
radical ideologies influenced figures like Sayyid Qutb, whose writings
in the 1960s called for jihad against secular governments, laying the
intellectual groundwork for groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS. The
Brotherhood’s non-violent facade often masked its role as an
ideological incubator for violent extremism, with factions splintering
into militant groups post-2013 after Egypt’s crackdown on the
organization.

Iran and Lebanon, once bastions of relative secularism, exemplify this
radical shift. Iran, under the Pahlavi dynasty, was a modernizing,
secular state until the 1979 Islamic Revolution, led by Ayatollah
Khomeini, overthrew the monarchy. Influenced by the Brotherhood’s
call for Islamic governance, Khomeini’s regime established a
theocratic state, enforcing strict Sharia laws. Women, who once wore
Western-style clothing, were mandated to don hijabs and, in many
cases, full-body coverings like chadors, reflecting a broader societal
control rooted in radical ideology. This marked a sharp departure from
Iran’s cosmopolitan past, aligning it with a global Islamist agenda.

Lebanon, historically a Christian-majority nation with a vibrant,
pluralistic culture, faced a similar fate. Until the 1970s, Beirut was
known as the “Paris of the Middle East,” with women freely wearing
traditional or Western attire. The rise of Hezbollah, a Shia militant
group inspired by Iran’s revolution and indirectly influenced by the
Brotherhood’s Islamist framework, shifted Lebanon’s trajectory.
Formed in 1982 after Israel’s invasion, Hezbollah, backed by Iran,
sought to establish an Islamic state, undermining Lebanon’s secular
and Christian heritage. By the 1990s, strict dress codes, including
hijabs, became more prevalent in Shia-dominated areas, signaling the
growing influence of radical ideologies.

Turkey, once the heart of the Ottoman Caliphate, offers a contrasting
yet cautionary tale. In 1923, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded a secular
republic, decisively abandoning the caliphate’s global ambitions and
radical Islamic governance. Resembling pre-revolutionary Iran and
Lebanon, Turkey embraced modernization, banning headscarves in public
institutions and promoting Western-style dress to cement its secular
identity. However, since the early 2000s, under Recep Tayyip
Erdoğan’s leadership, Turkey has seen a resurgence of Islamist
policies. The headscarf ban was lifted in 2013, and religious
education has expanded, signaling a return to stricter Islamic roots.
This shift, echoing the Brotherhood’s influence, has rekindled fears
of Turkey’s aspirations for regional dominance under a neo-Islamist
framework, aligning it closer to the radicalized states it once
diverged from.

The imposition of strict dress codes for women—hijabs and, in some
regions, burkhas—served as a visible marker of this radicalization.
In the 1970s, countries like Afghanistan and Egypt saw women in urban
areas wearing skirts and uncovered hair. The Muslim Brotherhood’s
rise, coupled with Saudi Arabia’s export of Wahhabism and Iran’s
revolutionary zeal, reversed this. By the 1980s, Egypt’s public
spaces saw increasing pressure for women to cover their heads, a trend
that spread to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and beyond. In Afghanistan, the
Taliban’s rise in the 1990s, influenced by radical ideologies,
mandated burkhas, erasing traditional cultural dress. This shift was
not merely sartorial but a symbol of control, suppressing women’s
autonomy and reflecting a broader societal regression.

This radicalization has had global consequences. The Brotherhood’s
ideology, combined with Salafi-jihadist movements, has fueled
terrorism, from the 9/11 attacks to ISIS’s reign of terror. The
2011–2014 period saw a peak in terrorist fatalities, with 80–90%
of victims being Muslim, underscoring the internal devastation. The
push for Islamization has also reached Western cities, where radical
groups exploit open societies to promote extremist ideologies, often
under the guise of cultural diversity. This “colonization”
manifests in calls for Sharia zones and the radicalization of youth,
as seen in Europe’s 2004 Madrid and 2005 London attacks.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD’S SPARK, IGNITED IN 1928, HAS FUELED A
CENTURY-LONG FIRE OF RADICALIZATION. From Iran’s theocracy to
Lebanon’s sectarian strife, the region’s secular past has been
overtaken by extremist ideologies, with women’s dress codes serving
as a stark symbol of control. This radicalization, now global,
threatens stability, demanding a nuanced response that distinguishes
between moderate Muslims and the extremist minority driving terror and
cultural imposition worldwide.
