2008-04-26 12:53:00 The recent elections in Egypt were marked by pressure exerted upon candidates who ran as members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood and the Political Process (U.S. Version)
2008-04-23 21:10:00 Doug Farah's post about the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report (GMBDR) item in which the Muslim Brotherhood gives written advice on how to vote Islamic is quite disturbing. The most ominous thing is that they appear to be doing this within the U.S., even as we speak. Coincidentally, the GMBDR contains another article about how an American Muslim organization has asked one of the Presidential candidates to avoid referring to "Islamic terrorism," as if religion is irrelevant to the violent actions...(read more)
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Electoral Process
2008-04-23 17:24:00 If one wants to get a more realistic picture of how the Muslim Brotherhood and its international legacy organizations view voting and the democratic process than the usual platitudes of their public discourse, it is well worth reading the Guide to Voting in Islam, posted by the Muslim Association of Britain.

American Branch of the Muslim Brotherhood Tarnishes Dr. King's Legacy
2008-04-05 03:46:00 An act of violence, of terrorism, shook America 40 years ago today. The assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King still reverberates as America struggles with racial politics and with terrorists - those who choose violence to achieve their political aims over King's courageous devotion to non violence. As we pause to remember King's sacrifice, we see that the Muslim American Society (MAS) has the gall to compare a committed jihadist with Dr. King. In a news release issued Wednesday, MAS called...(read more)
Muslim Brotherhood Leader Blasts Islamic Groups!
2008-04-01 09:34:00 Ali Abdel Hafeez, who left the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood last year created a new storm of controversy by labeling Islamist movements as “perversions” whose existance only leads to divisons rather than solutions. “Islamist movements, ” he told the Daily Star, “are perversions that stunt creativity and growth.” He argues a basic problem with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood is they consume energy into arguing about which group truly represents the Islmaic faith and spirit instead of actually doing anything to improve the lives of people. Hafeez believe democracy is the solution and when organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood attempt to portray themselves as the only coveyer of the Islamic faith the result is talk rather than action. He poses a simple question: If the Brotherhood has appropriated itself as the sole carrier of the Islamic banner, where did that leave other Muslims? Hafeez is creating his own group, the Alternative Movement, ...

Hamas, Teddy Bears in Sudan and the Muslim Brotherhood
2007-11-30 17:02:00 There are two places where the Muslim Brotherhood exercises governmental power-Sudan and the Palestinian territories. That is, where it controls the levers of the state. It seems to me it is worth looking at these states to see how the Brotherhood would govern if given the chance, and to see the real agenda of the organization that claims to represent moderate, modernizing and tolerant interpretations of Islam. For an excellent summary of why the Muslim Brotherhood is such an important topic, see...(read more)

2007-10-18 17:07:00 Yousef Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the international Muslim Brotherhood, is reprising his role as mediator between the Sunni and Shi'ite groups.

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Urges Iranian Style State
2007-10-15 05:08:00 Egyptian’s moderate secular parties have been hoping the Muslim Brotherhood would cooperate in efforts to establish a democratic Egyptian nation. Their hopes were dashed with publication by the Muslim Brotherhood of its platform for change in Egypt. The document would bar women and Christians from holding the office of president and allow a board of clerics to oversee Parliament and decide which laws could be passed. A hard line group within the Brotherhood, the “Daaw,” which in Arabic translates as “preaching” over-rode objections by moderates in pushing through their fundamentalist ideas which appear to resemble the Iranian government in form and substance. Abdel Moneim Sud of the Al-Ahram Center said “it establishes a religious state. It’s an assassination for the public state.” The document argues women should not be allowed to hold high office because it would lead to “burdening women with duties against their nature or role...
Muslim Brotherhood sets up Islamic clerical power
2007-10-14 19:47:00 The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's powerful opposition movement, has laid down its first detailed political platform, which would bar women and Christians from becoming president and establish a board of Muslim clerics to oversee the government, reminiscent of Iran's Islamic state.The platform has dismayed secular reform activists who have cautiously hoped the Brotherhood was becoming more moderate and who supported the movement in the face of a tough government crackdown against it. The document also complicates the debate in Egypt over how to deal with the Brotherhood, which proved its widespread popularity in 2005 parliament elections.The blueprint illustrated the dominance of a more hard-line trend in the Brotherhood, known as the "Daawi" - Arabic for "preaching" - over a minority of moderates who seek to reform the group and call for a civic government that respects Islamic principles. "It establishes a religious state," Abdel Moneim Said, head of the leading Al Ahram Center for...

CAIR: Part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee
2007-08-08 23:02:00 There was a real bombshell of a revelation yesterday in the Hamas funding trial in Dallas, as an FBI agent testified about the true roots of the Council on American Islamic Relations: Counterterrorism Blog: CAIR Identified by the FBI as part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee. Dallas—In testimony Tuesday, FBI Agent Lara Burns reported before the jury in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, right alongside HLF, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), and the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR). Agent Lara Burns further testified that CAIR received money from HLF - a claim that Nihad Awad blatantly denied in a congressional testimony in September of 2003.

Spiegel: The Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood
2007-07-04 21:35:00 Spiegel Online has a general introduction to the goals and activities of the archetypal Islamist infiltration group, the Muslim Brotherhood—as neo-pseudo-realist members of our own government promote the foolhardy idea of “engaging” them: Dancing with the Devil: Charting the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. The average member of the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t a rabble-rouser, either — he’s a doctor, pharmacist, teacher or lawyer. He wears Western trousers and shirts, not the ankle-long dishdashah garment traditionally worn by Arab men. He’s middle class — and he’s filled with rage. Rage over what he sees as the close cooperation between his government and the hopelessly corrupted West. Kept from pursuing his political aims, he is often a functionary amonst his contemporaries in Arab professional associations for doctors, engineers and attorneys.

Qutbism and the Muslim Brotherhood
2007-05-02 20:08:00 One of the interesting threads emerging on the debate over the Muslim Brotherhood is the comparative weight of the “reformist” wing of the _Ikhwan_ versus the “Qutbists” who follow Sayyid Qutb’s teachings on the need to destroy the West and create a Muslim world, governed by _sharia_ law. Qutub’s works, particularly “Milestones,” are widely cited ...

New ARB out, Enani article on Muslim Brotherhood
2007-03-18 11:21:00 via The Arabist :New ARB out, Enani article on MBThe latest issue of the Arab Reform Bulletin is out, with as always several interesting articles. I have only had time to read the one on Egypt by Khalil al-Enani, in which he puts the ongoing crackdown on the MB in the context of the coming presidential succession: There are several ways of understanding the regime?s current attack on the Brotherhood. First, the regime wishes to deflate the Brotherhood?s expectations after the past two years of emboldening political victories, which perhaps led to the miscalculation evident in the ?Al Azhar Militias? incident. Second, Mubarak?s regime has relentlessly eliminated any potential alternative to itself for the past quarter century, which explains much of how it deals with any group possessing social legitimacy. Third, the regime is determined to guarantee a quiet presidential succession, whether after the end of Mubarak?s term in 2011 or in the event of any alternative scenario. The curre...
