Islam, Politični islam in America
although the factors accounting for the deterioration of America’s reputationin the Arab and Muslim world after Sept. 11 are numerous, ZDA. 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. Zato, 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.
The United States and Egypt
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, vojaška,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.
Muslimanska bratovščina v ZDA
Steven Merley
Vodstvo ZDA. muslimanska bratovščina (MB, ali Bratstvo) je rekel, da je bil in je njegov cilj džihad, katerega cilj je uničenje ZDA. od znotraj.
Vodstvo bratovščine je tudi dejalo, da je način za dosego tega cilja ustanovitev islamskih organizacij v ZDA.. pod nadzorom Muslimanske bratovščine.
Od zgodnjih šestdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja, Bratstvo je zgradilo dovršeno prikrito organizacijsko infrastrukturo, na kateri je bil zgrajen niz javnih ali "sprednjih" organizacij.
Trenutni U.S. Vodstvo Bratstva je poskušalo zanikati to zgodovino, oba trdita, da ni točna, in hkrati trdita, da predstavlja starejšo obliko mišljenja znotraj Bratstva.
Pregled javnih in zasebnih dokumentov Bratstva, vendar, kaže, da je ta zgodovina točna in da Bratstvo ni ukrepalo, da bi dokazalo spremembo v svojem načinu razmišljanja in/ali dejavnosti.
