Abstract

The article discusses the development of Muslim Brotherhood movement in Syria following its independence in 1946. For nearly a generation now, scholars have intensively studied Islamic movements. Much attention has rightly focused on the Muslim Brotherhood, a movement viewed by many as the mother of salafi Islam, or the movement to return to the fundamentals of Islam as practiced by the founding fathers, the salaf. It was also, for most of the period under discussion, a parliamentary body, participating in the turbulence that was Syrian parliamentary politics during those years.
