The Brookings Institution sez "Don't Fear Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood"
The Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia has sent a shock wave through the Arab world. Never before has the street toppled a dictator. Now Egypt is shaking, Hosni Mubarak's 30-year-old regime faces its most serious threat ever. The prospect of change in Egypt inevitably raises questions about the oldest and strongest opposition movement in the country, the Muslim Brotherhood, also known as Ikhwan. Can America work with an Egypt where the Ikhwan is part of a transition or even a new government? This article seems mostly fair and not over the top. Brookings pretty much argues that the MB coming to power wont be pretty but is not the disaster on wheels other are hyping. Personally I am not that convinced Posted by: abu do you love 2011-02-04 |
