Such groups reinterpret classical Islamic and democratic ideas, as to redefine their role in shaping citizenship in the MENA region. Debates within Salafi circles signal shifts toward broader citizenship rights. Emphasis is slowly shifting to people's rights over obligations, in search for balance.

The Muslim Brotherhood has maintained widespread support across the region for nearly 90 years. Even though this support has been shaken during the last decade - it is still there. This broad support for change and freedom manifests in various forms and facets of the region's civil societies. 👇
