Egypt's Moslem Broderbund Floundering?
"The Muslim Brotherhood is part of the revolution …. We [the Muslim Brotherhood] are not alienating ourselves. Actually, we are going through a course of change here in Egypt." - Nader Omran of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party

"The Muslim Brotherhood hasn't been participating in the revolution. They have been the last to show up and the first to leave every time. We've seen them running after seats in the parliament and now the presidential elections and only coming back out onto the streets when they don't get what they want as far as political gains. We haven't seen them advocating any of the actual demands of the revolution." - Sherif Gaber, Egyptian activist


It was not so long ago that it seemed that the Muslim Brotherhood would be the main beneficiary of last year's revolution in Egypt. Indeed, the parliamentary elections saw the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party installed as the most dominant force in the chamber, and the party's voice was growing in influence across the country. But in the months following the elections, the party has been accused of an inconsistent and indecisive political strategy - one that has put it at odds with both the ruling military and the other parties behind the country's revolution.
