Extremist Groups Oppose the Nation-State and Seek Chaos, Mounir Adeeb Says

Journalist and researcher Mounir Adeeb said the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist religious organizations embrace ideas that, in his view, conflict with the concept of the nation-state.

Adeeb, who studies Islamist movements, framed the issue as an ideological divide between these groups and the national state, rather than simply a disagreement over policy.

He argued that their outlook is hostile to the nation-state and accused them of seeking to spread chaos.

His remarks placed the Muslim Brotherhood within a broader criticism of extremist religious organizations, focusing on what he described as their opposition to the principle of national statehood.
