If he had the slightest, smallest, most insignificant link with the brotherhood, he wouldn't walk free for three seconds in Saudi Arabia.
Source: I'm from Saudi Arabia, the government doesn't tolerate anyone who is even remotely affiliated with the brotherhood.
I apologize for my ignorance, is this opposition between the Saudi Arabia government and the brotherhood still a big thing? I hadn’t heard about it for a long time and don’t know much about it.
The Brotherhood is basically just moderate ISIS. They're Pan Islamists who want a worldwide caliphate based on Sharia, the difference with ISIS is that their practice of Islam is more mainstream and they're more ambivalent on the use of political violence
But that doesn't matter too much, what does matter is the worldwide caliphate part. In the MB's ideal world, they'd depose the Gulf Monarchies to add them to the Islamic superstate. This is why Saudis and UAE view them as an existential threat
