Reinvention of Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood Involves Women-And Christians

2. About my article:
Jordan’s Muslim brotherhood was about to be shut down by the Jordanian Government because the Jordanian Government wanted the brotherhood to change, but the brotherhood wouldn’t do it. So instead of the brotherhood changing, they created a new brotherhood. The new brotherhood allowed women and Christians to be included, though the new brotherhood lacks support and numbers and is not nearly as powerful as the original brotherhood. So some of the members of the new brotherhood are running in Jordan’s parliamentary elections to gain fans, popularity and support.
