Current Trends in the Ideology of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood

Dr.. Israel Elad Altman

The American-led Middle East reform and democratization campaign of the last twoyears has helped shape a new political reality in Egypt. Opportunities have opened up fordissent. Med os. og europæisk støtte, local opposition groups have been able to takeinitiative, fremme deres årsager og trække indrømmelser fra staten. The EgyptianMuslim Brotherhood movement (MB), which has been officially outlawed as a politicalorganization, is now among the groups facing both new opportunities and new risks.Western governments, inklusive regeringen i De Forenede Stater, are consideringthe MB and other “moderate Islamist” groups as potential partners in helping to advancedemocracy in their countries, og måske også i udryddelsen af ​​islamistisk terrorisme. Couldthe Egyptian MB fill that role? Could it follow the track of the Turkish Justice andDevelopment Party (AKP) og det indonesiske velstandsretlige parti (MCC), twoIslamist parties that, ifølge nogle analytikere, are successfully adapting to the rules ofliberal democracy and leading their countries toward greater integration with,henholdsvis, Europa og et ”hedensk” Asien?Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan MB har reageret på den nye virkelighed, how it has handledthe ideological and practical challenges and dilemmas that have arisen during the pasttwo years. To what extent has the movement accommodated its outlook to newcircumstances? Hvad er dets mål og dets vision om den politiske orden? How has itreacted to U.S. overture og til reform- og demokratiseringskampagnen? How has itnavigated its relations with the Egyptian regime on one hand, and other opposition forceson the other, da landet gik mod to dramatiske valg i efteråret 2005? Towhat extent can the MB be considered a force that might lead Egypt toward liberaldemocracy?
