Pihak Islam , MEREKA ADALAH DEMOKRAT? TIDAK masalahnya ?

Tarek Masoud

Didorong oleh perasaan bahwa "para Islamis datang,"Jurnalis dan pembuat kebijakan telah terlibat dalam spekulasi akhir-akhir ini demam atas apakah pihak Islam seperti Mesir Ikhwanul Muslimin (MB) atau Hamas Palestina benar-benar percaya pada demokrasi. While I attempt to outline the boundaries of the Islamist democratic commitment, I think that peering into the Islamist soul is a misuse of energies. The Islamists are not coming. Lagi pula, sebagai Adam Przeworski dan lain-lain berpendapat, commitments to democracy are more often born of environmental constraints than of true belief. Daripada mengkhawatirkan apakah Islamis adalah nyata demokrat,
our goal should be to help fortify democratic and liberal institutions and actors so that no group—Islamist or otherwise—can subvert them.
But what is this movement over whose democratic bona fides we worry? Islamism is a slippery concept. Misalnya, if we label as Islamist those parties that call for the application of shari‘a, we must exclude Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (which is widely considered Islamist) dan termasuk berkuasa Mesir Nasional Partai Demokrat (which actively represses Islamists). Instead of becoming mired in definitional issues, we would do better to focus on a set of political parties that have grown from the same historical roots, derive many of their goals and positions from the same body of ideas, and maintain organizational ties to one another—that is, those parties that spring from the international MB. Ini termasuk organisasi ibu Mesir (didirikan di 1928), but also Hamas, Yordania Front Aksi Islam, Algeria’s Movement for a Peaceful Society, Partai Islam Irak, Kelompok Islam Lebanon, and others.
