"Ikhwani" :

They are back in focus again. And I thought they had lost it all after fall of Morsi.
Saudi's crackdown on any scholar, who even remotely shows the slightest sympathy with the Ikhwanis, is so harsh that as per Mijan Harun vai's report, not a single message was posted in their scholar's private discussion groups after the death of Morsi, which in general is flooded with prayers for any other's death.

Our old pal Matiur Rahman Madani recently had been running a lecture series against Ikhwanis in BD. The timing says that it's inter winded with Saudi Gov's crackdown, and general order from Saudi gov to scholars to oppose Ikhwanis and preach against them.
Which means our beloved Matiur Rahman Madani doesn't talk for himself, at least not always. And there's a guide above him who dictates what to talk on. Assumption.

An ideological vacancy in Saudi as a result. Our MbS has ditched Salafis, and also have stood against Ikhwanis. So what would they be following now as the "Gov approved ideology"?
There in came "Moderate", whatever the arabic word for that is. That's the official saudi position on ideology right now. This shift was made just three to four years back.
Keep watching.
