\r\n\tA year after the Saudi interior ministry branded the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization the Egyptian government followed the suit this time against the armed wing of a key branch of the Egyptian party, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas on charges of disrupting the international security.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe two rulings are linked with one another as they indicate newer cordial ties between Riyadh and Cairo and their joint act against the intellectually-related Muslim brotherhood and the Hamas Movement.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tFounded in 1987 by Sheikh Ahmad Yasin and Abd al-Aziz al-Rantisi as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas declared its main goal as to free the entire Palestinian land through armed resistance against the occupying regime of Israel.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe then Egyptian ruler, Hosni Mubarak sought to establish close ties with the Palestinian group in a bid to contain the resistance group that was an extension of the Egyptian MB part in Palestine. Mubarak considered any strength on the part of Hamas as a boost for the Egyptian party that has been viewed as an alternative to the ruling government for the past eighty years. Current rules of Cairo have now moved to treat the Palestinian movement as they once did with the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tNevertheless, Hamas has developed a relationship with the thought of resistance that has evolved the Sunni group into a phenomenon entirely different from the Muslim Brotherhood in terms of how to deal with the regional and international conditions. The Israeli summer war on Gaza provides some proof. Hamas accomplished the goal despite suffering a tough siege at the hand of the Israeli allies. The European Union has apparently realized the issue as it moved to remove the Palestinian movement from its black list.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe Egyptian position however will further draw the Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood closer to the regional resistance led by the Islamic Republic of Iran, creating another opportunity for the regional current; the two movements have clearly identified their foes and friends albeit at a dear cost. They have the opportunity now to rebuild their position relying on the precious experience. Both movements enjoy extensive popularity and would find a new path ahead by revising their past.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe Islamic Awakening movement is moving forward led by the regional resistance. The record of the Islamic Republic of Iran following the 1979 revolution may present the freedom seeking movements in the world with a feasible model.<\/p>\r\n
