Abstract

This chapter discusses how Gulf States began to diverge in their attitudes towards the Muslim Brotherhood. The chapter argues that the conditions that had led Gulf States to adopt a similar attitude towards the Muslim Brotherhood began to disappear in the 1970s and observes that a series of domestic and regional developments forced individual Gulf states to adjust their attitudes towards the Muslim Brotherhood. In the same context the Muslim Brotherhood had also dropped its prior non-oppositional attitude towards the regime and became more and more oppositional, starting first in Kuwait and the UAE and later in Saudi Arabia. Yet, the chapter observes, the movement remained non-oppositional in Bahrain and Qatar.
