Explanation:
Mu'awiyah's hair [Arabic expression that means very tenuous link]
The Jordanian Islamic movement, the Muslim Brotherhood [MB], by settling the issue of its participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections has contributed to the increase in the political activities in the middle of a domestic atmosphere shackled by economic concerns and a possible regional explosion. This has kept what remained of Mu'awiyah's hair [Arabic expression that means very tenuous link] between the MB and the Jordanian authorities.
