although the factors accounting for the deterioration of America’s reputationin the Arab and Muslim world after Sept. 11 are numerous, Bandaríkin. positionvis-à-vis political Islam remains an important factor in reinforcing the negativeview of America. An important issue that has driven much of the anti-Americanismwe observe in the region today pertains to an evident contradiction between U.S.discourse on democratization and political reform on one hand, and its negativeresponse to the electoral gains made by groups like Hamas in the Palestinian Territoriesor the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. As a result of this discrepancy, manyobservers have proposed alternative ways for Washington to advance the cause ofdemocracy in the Arab world. One of the proposed ideas involves holding-off oncalling for immediate elections, and focusing instead on promoting other prerequisitesof political reform. Others suggested employing new strategies that wouldguarantee the defeat of political Islamists at ballot boxes.Undoubtedly, there is a soaring need for a better understanding of Islamistmovements in the region, given the fundamental differences among such groups.Moreover, many Islamist movements are experiencing a process of change thatwarrants a revision of the existing conventional wisdom about political Islam. Notonly that, but many of those groups remain unknown in Western, particularlyAmerican, discussions of Islamist movements. Þess vegna, formulating a constructiveand effective American policy toward Islam in a broad sense, but more specificallytoward political Islam, will require a new and a more nuanced intellectualmapping of contemporary Islam and political Islam in the region.Given these various demands, the editorial team of Arab Insight took the initiativeto shed light on the topic of American policies toward both Islam and politicalIslam. The topic is presented in two sections:Section I presents several Arab responses to American policy toward Islamists.

A Conference Report
The study of bilateral relations has fallen deeply out of favor in the academiccommunity. Political science has turned to the study of international state systemsrather than relations between individual states; anthropologists and sociologists arefar more interested in non-state actors; and historians have largely abandonedstates altogether. It is a shame, because there is much to be learned from bilateralrelationships, and some such relationships are vital—not only to the countriesinvolved, but also to a broader array of countries.One such vital relationship is that between the United States and Egypt. Forgedduring the Cold War almost entirely on the issue of Arab-Israeli peacemaking, theU.S.-Egyptian bilateral relationship has deepened and broadened over the lastquarter century. Egypt remains one of the United States’ most important Arab allies,and the bilateral relationship with Washington remains the keystone of Egypt’sforeign policy. Strong U.S.-Egyptian bilateral relations are also an important anchorfor states throughout the Middle East and for Western policy in the region. Therelationship is valuable for policymakers in both countries; doing without it isunthinkable.To explore this relationship, the CSIS Middle East Program, in cooperation with theAl-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo, convened a one-dayconference on June 26, 2003, entitled, “The United States and Egypt: Building thePartnership.” The goal of the meeting was to brainstorm how that partnership mightbe strengthened.Participants agreed that much needs to be done on the diplomatic, political, herinn,and economic levels. Although all did not agree on a single course forward, theparticipants unanimously concurred that a stronger U.S.-Egyptian relationship is verymuch in the interests of both countries, and although it will require a great deal ofwork to achieve, the benefits are worth the effort.
Múslima bróðurlega í Bandaríkjunum

Forysta Bandaríkjanna. Muslim Brotherhood (MB, eða Bræðralag) hefur sagt að markmið þess hafi verið og sé jihad sem miðar að því að eyðileggja Bandaríkin. innanfrá.
Bræðralagsforystan hefur einnig sagt að leiðin til að ná þessu markmiði sé að stofna íslömsk samtök í Bandaríkjunum. undir stjórn Bræðralags múslima.
Frá því snemma á sjöunda áratugnum, Bræðralagið hefur smíðað vandað leynilegt skipulag sem byggt var á hópi opinberra eða „framhliða“ stofnana.
Núverandi US. Brotherhood forysta hefur reynt að dylja þessa sögu, báðir segjast að það er ekki rétt og á sama tíma að segja að það stendur fyrir eldri mynd af hugsun innan Brotherhood.
Athugun á opinberum og einkaskjölum Bræðralagsins, þó, gefur til kynna að þessi saga sé bæði nákvæm og að Bræðralagið hafi ekki gripið til aðgerða til að sýna fram á breytingar á hugsunarhætti og/eða starfsemi sinni..
