I think if you want people to know you don’t like Mussolini, signing a contract for Hitler to play football for one of his clubs isn’t the best strategy.
He gonna report the government to the government?
Good luck
He isn’t reporting it to the government. Do you remember something called separation of powers?

Nice reading about it in books, have yet to see it in real life 🤷
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.
A little known fact I’m learning these past few weeks is nobody hates muslims more than other muslims
If only Non-Muslims were aware of this fact. There is nothing stronger than a Muslim’s love for another Muslim, yet simultaneously the opposite is also true. I’m not sure if you’re aware of sects in Islam, but extremists from the two major sects (Sunni’s and Shia’s) absolutely despise each other to the point where they’ll claim the other isn’t a true Muslim.
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
Forget the sects, it’s basic politics. The Muslim Brotherhood is an ideology that opposes monarchies.
Monarchies hate them.
tbh i’m not even sure why the muslim brotherhood is considered “bad”. I’ve heard good things about them - they elected that morsi fellow right? they were pro-democracy, but socially conservative. Morsi went to iran and criticized them for not being democratic… in TEHRAN. man had balls.
The French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, who’s the one who accused Benzema of those links, is a known racist, homophobe and islamophobe (he just hates minorities in general and believes they shouldn’t exist in France) who was involved in a rape lawsuit (I think the investigations are still ongoing but I’m not sure). He’s minister who was in charge for the 2022 UCL final and blamed Liverpool fans for the chaos that ensued and believed they deserved the brutal treatment they received from the police.
Good, it unfortunately won’t get rid of Darmamin but that doesn’t mean Benzema should let this go.
