The Muslim Brotherhood’s channels have always sought to exploit the case of the Saudi preacher, Salman al-Awda, in the international community’s response to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, hoping for him to return to defend the suspicious group.

Among the Brotherhood’s media mechanisms that defended the issue of "Salman Al-Awda" was the holding of a hypothetical conference, titled "Contemporary Reformers

Salman Al-Awda as a Model", organized by the "Ark Al-Falk" Center in February 2021, with the participation of 34 Brotherhood figures from different countries, and the Tunisian President The former Moncef Marzouki, who is closely related to the Brotherhood.

In Turkey and Qatar, the Brotherhood’s media platforms, including Al-Sharq, Al-Jazeera, Arabi 21, and others ... have launched a blistering attack on Saudi Arabia and the Arab regimes.

“Al-Sharq” journalist, Moataz Matar, claimed during his program: “The bold accusations of the centrist preacher Salman Al-Awda, and the main accusation that he is being tried because of it is refusing blood, this is what a state is doing as if it were the land of Islam.”

"Al-Jazeera" channel published a report at the "Human Rights Watch" organization, in which it said: "If you look at the accusations against the return, you will find that it is clear that they are politically motivated."

The Union of Muslim Scholars, headed by the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, Yusef Al-Qaradawi, also had a statement in which he stated: “We categorically reject the return of terrorism by some countries,” calling on those who described them as “sincere and thoughtful leaders” to intervene to release him, accompanied by Musa Al-Sharif, And travel Al-Hawali, and Nasser Al-Omar.

Salman al-Awda sought proximity to young people and was the most accessible to their minds, sharing and interacting with them, so it was not surprising that his personal account included 14 million “followers” ​​and about 50 thousand tweets, during the period from 2009 to 2017.

He also sought to gain a great incubator for his ideas in the Arab world, not in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia alone, and the virtual world of «Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snape Young» to serve his sermons and conversations until his followers became thousands and millions of each other, influenced by the beliefs of his teacher, Muhammad Surur Zain Al-Abidin, The founder of the Sururiyya movement, who died in 2016 in Qatar).

The indictment issued by the Saudi Public Prosecution which demanded the execution of "Al-Awda" in ta'zir, includes "37" charges - according to the Saudi newspaper "Okaz" - on top of which are his involvement in suspicious relations, visits and contacts with the former Emir of Qatar and the former Libyan regime, and his joining the Brotherhood, which is classified as "terrorist" His interference in Egypt's internal affairs and his incitement to push the kingdom into internal revolutions, as well as his joining religious scholarly gatherings and unions contrary to the approach of the most respected scholars, based on foundations aimed at destabilizing security in the country and the homeland, and his affiliation with the name of "Assistant Secretary" under the leadership of one of the classified List of terrorism "Yusuf al-Qaradawi," who holds the position of Secretary of the International Union of Muslim Scholars classified as a terrorist entity.

"Al-Awda" supervised the "Renaissance Forum" and helped finance and publishes it in the Arab world. According to the indictment against him, he used that organization to incite revolutions against Arab regimes in agreement with the Brotherhood and its branches in the countries of the region.

According to the Saudi media, the "Renaissance Forum" was established about 8 years ago in 2010, with Qatari funds, and marketing for it began as a Gulf intellectual youth forum, held periodically every year, under the supervision of Salman Al-Odah, and the management of a professor of interpretation at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Mustafa al-Hassan, who is affiliated with the Brotherhood movement.

“Al-Awda” became a major symbol for the leaders and members of the Brotherhood in the entire Arab world, and even for the organization of the group in the world, after it was keen on the “advocacy” approach that this trend took, in order to reach its goals through educational sessions, educational activities, and social gatherings.

Nayef Al-Asaker, a researcher on extremist groups' affairs, said that "Salman Al-Awda" moved from the path of Al-Saroori to the path of the Brotherhood, indicating that when he permitted some of what he saw as denounced by his glory and directed by watching populist channels.

"Al-Asaker" explained during an interview on "Al-Arabiya News" that they were the cause of making Salman Al-Awda, describing him as an open man, indicating that the Brotherhood infiltrated European countries and the world in a very terrible way, because those countries used to use them as a means of chaos in the East.
