ISLAMISK MOBILISERING
Ziad Munson
This article examines the emergence and growth of the Muslim Brotherhood inEgypt from the 1930s through the 1950s. It begins by outlining and empirically evaluatingpossible explanations for the organization’s growth based on (1) theories of politicalIslam and (2) the concept of political opportunity structure in social movementtheory. An extension of these approaches is suggested based on data from organizationaldocuments and declassied U.S. State Department les from the period. Thesuccessful mobilization of the Muslim Brotherhood was possible because of the wayin which its Islamic message was tied to its organizational structure, activities, andstrategies and the everyday lives of Egyptians. The analysis suggests that ideas areintegrated into social movements in more ways than the concept of framing allows.It also expands our understanding of how organizations can arise in highly repressiveenvironments.

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, militær,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.
Det Muslimske Broderskab i USA
Steven Merley
Ledelsen af U.S. muslimsk Broderskab (MB, eller Ikhwan) har sagt, at dens mål var og er jihad rettet mod at ødelægge U.S. indefra.
Broderskabets ledelse har også sagt, at midlet til at nå dette mål er at etablere islamiske organisationer i USA. under Det Muslimske Broderskabs kontrol.
Siden begyndelsen af 1960'erne, Broderskabet har konstrueret en omfattende skjult organisatorisk infrastruktur, hvorpå der blev bygget et sæt offentlige eller "front"-organisationer.
Det nuværende U.S. Broderskabets ledelse har forsøgt at benægte denne historie, både at hævde, at det ikke er nøjagtigt, og samtidig at sige, at det repræsenterer en ældre form for tanke i Broderskabet.
En undersøgelse af offentlige og private broderskabsdokumenter, imidlertid, angiver, at denne historie både er nøjagtig, og at Broderskabet ikke har truffet nogen handling for at demonstrere ændringer i dets tankemåde og/eller aktivitet.
