It makes no sense because UAE already implements Islamic law (largely) and is probably more Islamic than many of those groups that they oppose. Also no UAE locals are willing or have any reasons to stand up against their rulers as they are some of the most wealthy and content people in the world.
It is just the schizophrenic policies of MbZ. In Sudan he is supporting hardcore elements such as the Janjaweed and others. It has nothing to do with anti-Islamist or Islamists. It is just pure geopolitics.
I don't understand the MB obsession personally. Qatar is a monarchy like UAE and is the main MB sponsor in the region. Don't seem like a problem for them.
Besides the MB is a purely Egyptian movement they barely have any support outside of Egypt, lol.
Just one of many strange examples of ME politics.
But yeah, I have become very critical of UAE foreign policy in recent years.
Ideally KSA would just annex all those small GCC states, lol.
There is nothing Islamic about the Janjaweed, Hemeti has an opportunist. Under UAE tutelage he went from an Omar al Bashir general to now trying to remodel himself as some sort of Voltaire.
Its all BS of course, Hemeti only cares are power, and he knows the prejudices of westerners, so he is trying to exploit that to make himself seem like Voltaire or something. Same with Haftar, despite him employing Madkhalis in the militia doing al sorts of BS. But on the outside they will all claim to be proponents of Laicete and students of Voltaire. lol
The issue with Sudan is elections, thats whats making the UAE freak out, so the backstory on sudan is that the local activists managed to convince the General in charge to have elections for an elected leader, and this freaked Bin Zayed out, so he goes to Hemeti(who he was already using to supply men from the janjaweed militia to use in Yemen and Libya) and tells him to invade Khartoum and thats what triggers the Sudanese civil war post Bashir.
The RSF leader is appealing to western bias against political movements that rely on Islamic beliefs

They are in the process of deleting Islam in the UAE. Dubai is basically Vegas Already but they want to introduce Gambling and other BS. Its not like they need the money, but for some reason they are bringing it in, probably for ideological reasons.
"I don't understand the MB obsession personally. Qatar is a monarchy like UAE and is the main MB sponsor in the region. Don't seem like a problem for them."
you know they tried destroying Qatar for that, laid siege to it, before Turkey stepped in, with the Military Base. and Qatar was diversified, so they started buying a bunch of weapons from the US, UK, and France for support in exchange. They were trying to convince Trump to let them overthrow Thani, but the State Dept/Pentagon stepped in and said it was a bad idea to trump b/c there is a gigantic airbase in Qatar, and they didn't want interference with its operations.
Bin Zayed is obsessed to the point where not many ppl know this but the UAE was involved with the Coup against the Ak Party in Turkey, who they consider Ikhwaani. This guy anywhere there is an element he find. He tries to overthrow it, same with Tunisia against Ennahda.
The man is completely paranoid, to the point where he has been funding Islamophbia abroad, just to try to counter any ikhwaani current. His new obsession is to target diaspora muslims abroad who may lobby for elections in the Arab world or any sort of critique of regimes.
This was found by the EU parliament in a study.
