Abstract
With this qualitative case study I intended to explain the Muslim Brotherhood's
electoral success in Egypt during the year of 2012. I aimed to do this by
answering the question of "Why did the Muslim Brotherhood win the presidential

2012, how they spread their message and their organization’s logic and

Muslims, because of issues of social freedom, political freedom, and the
protection of fundamental rights. Furthermore, because of their clarity when the
organization stood on the people's side during the revolution and offered
education and healthcare to the poor, and also because of their complicated but
structural branching system as well as their mobilization under state repression. (Less)
