More of the world for Pitt. Note that the Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed in Syria many decades ago. It as well was recognized to be a POLITICAL party, not a pious religious group.
Muslim Brotherhood of Syria >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The *Muslim Brotherhood of Syria* (Arabic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language>: الإخوان المسلمون في سوريا *Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimun fi Suriya*), formerly the *Islamic Socialist Front*, has been described as "a branch" of the Sunni <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunni_Islam> Islamist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamism> Muslim Brotherhood <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood>,[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-reuters-3> and as "very loosely affiliated" to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_in_Egypt>.[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-wp05122012-4> In its most recent April 2012 manifesto it "pledges to respect individual rights", to promote pluralism and democracy, and does not even "mention the word Islam".[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-reuters-3> [2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-ikhwanweb-2> Founded at the end of World War II <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II>, the Muslim Brotherhood of Syria was seen as one of several important political parties in the 1950s. When Syria unified with Egypt to form the United Arab Republic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Republic>, the disbanding of the Muslim Brotherhood as a political party was a condition of union, one complicated by Gamal Abdel Nasser <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamal_Abdel_Nasser>'s conflict in Egypt <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt> with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Muslim_Brotherhood>. The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood was banned by the government of the Syrian Arab Republic starting after the 1963 coup by the secularist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularism>, pan-Arabist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arabism> Ba'ath Party <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba%27ath_Party>.[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-autogenerated241-5> The Muslim Brotherhood played a major role in dissent against the secular Ba'ath Party during the period 1976-1982,[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-6> and membership in the Brotherhood in Syria became a capital offence <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment> in 1980.[7] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-Wright.2C_2008.2C_p.248-7> Following the Hama uprising <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hama_massacre> of 1982 in the wake of the wider Islamist insurgency in Syria (1979–1982) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamist_uprising_in_Syria>, when thousands of armed insurgents and civilians were killed by the military[8] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_of_Syria#cite_note-lexicorient1-8> the Brotherhood was effectively broken as an active political force inside Syria.
