| Mohammed Surur passed away but Sururism lives on |
| 2016-11-23 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The death of Mohammed Surur ended a chapter of the history of political Islam in the Gulf. The Syrian holy man, who hailed from Houran, had spoken about his memories during a television show. His journey began with the traditional affiliation to the Moslem Brüderbund. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the problems which the group encountered in Syria forced him to seek another destination for his fundamentalist theories. He moved to Britannia and then to Kuwait and to Soddy Arabia |

| #1 "In Saudi Arabia, the Brothers were part of a broader social movement called the "Islamic Awakening" (al-Sahwa al-Islamiyya), or Sahwa, whose ideology blended the political outlook of the Muslim Brotherhood with Salafi religious views. Other groups within the Sahwa included the so-called Sururis, named after..., the Syrian ex-Muslim Brother Muhammad Surur Zayn al-‘Abidin. In the 1970s, the Sahwa’s influence grew extensively, especially in schools and on university campuses. [so] that by the end of the decade, tens of thousands of young Saudis were Sahwa affiliates. This is when the young bin Laden, like many in his generation, joined one of the factions of the movement. It was in his case the Saudi MB, because it was the most active faction in his region of origin, the Hejaz." |
