Egypt's Adly Mansour: Top Judge for Two Days, Now Interim President
Keywords:
Adly Mansour, a judge with the Supreme Constitutional Court in Egypt, is appointed by the military as president of Egypt. He was to take office as Chief Justice before the June 2013 protests in Egypt intervened to delay this. On July 3, 2013 he was sworn in as president before the Supreme Court. Mansour is one of two judges selected by president Morsi. He is a graduate of Cairo University, and studied public affairs and management in Paris before joining the judicial sytem in 1977. His decisions as judge went against both Mubarak and Morsi, showing his independent position as a judge on the Supreme Court. The judiciary is now taking an important role in Egypt similar to the role it has played in Pakistan, another Muslim country adopting democratic forms of governance after decades of coups and military rule since the 1950's. The larger Muslim countries in the Middle East, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, and Egypt are faced with the challenge of balancing the demands of modernization with tradition, the demands of educated urban population with the more devout Islamist rural population, and creating stable transitions in democratically elected government. Islamists such as president Erdogan in Turkey who described western democratic forms of government as a train to get to a destination have still to take in to account the need to incorporate opposing secular views in governance. In this sense Turkey is not the model for governance as it once appeared for Egypt, Pakistan Iran and other Muslim countries. A new consensus in society needs to develop that respects all aspects of democratic governance including respect for the role of the opposition in a democracy, the role of an independent impartial judiciary, and the role of independent media. This will take time to develop just as it took time to develop in Europe and North America.

09/29/2006
The failure of Islam as astate ideology to give Pakistan peace with its neighbors, and to modernize Pakistan. Instead of working it has proved dysfunctional and led to failures in economic development, failure in building ademocratic state, and left the country in abackward state with many divisions along political and tibal lines. The new identity being sought would keep Islam out of politics and set new priorities.

02/04/2011
An opportunity to set the Arab world and the Middle East in a new direction. The European Renaissance began with one of the important influences being ideas and books brought back from open and tolerant Islamic societies, the opportunity for leaders in the Middle East to borrow in the same way from open and tolerant Christian societies in Europe and America and forge their own path to a modern world and make their own contributions.

The Muslim Brotherhood Party in Egypt and its relations with liberals and the Salafi Nour Party- 2012 -2013
11/26/2011
The breakdown in relations between liberals, the Salafi Nour party- who initially supported president Morsi in the 2012 elections for president- and the Muslim Brotherhood party in Egypt. At the time of the June 2013 street protests in Egyot against the Morsi government the liberals say the Morsi government did not take into account liberal opinion in formulating policy and Morsi's personal style was too authoritarian. The Salafi's oppose Egypt's efforts to improve relations with Iran. In June 2013 these Morsi supporters, who oppose a military run Egypt, backed off from supporting Morsi. Morsi's efforts against a Mubarak appointed judiciary were opposed by the liberals, and his effort to pass an Islamist based constitution without taking into account liberal opinion alienated the liberals. The sharp divide between rural support for Islamist parties, and liberals in the urban areas is seen in Iran, Turkey and Egypt.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
