Morsi’s ouster spells trouble for region’s other Islamist movements - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Islamist parties are having difficulty integrating into political life and bridging the differences with secularist or liberal political parties in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Pakistan and Turkey following the democratic transition in 2011-2013 in the Muslim world. Some progress has been made, but lack of experience, lack of respect for the opposition and other opinion, overreaching, personal styles of individual leaders such as Erdogan and Morsi, and poor economic conditions after decades of neglect under military rulers in Egypt and other countries, is creating problems for Islamist parties in government.

Morsi's and Baradei's failure to provide leadership that unites all parts of the political spectrum and the crushed hopes for freedom and democracy in Egypt
07/03/2013
Morsi, Baradei, and Sissi needed to look back at Spain's example where Adolfo Suarez, King Juan, Socialists and Communists worked together to put behind the Franco and Republican years of the early twentieth century that made once rich Spain a poor undeveloped country. Turkey turned out to be a bad example, as the failure of Erdogan to unite different parts of the political spectrum in Turkey should have raised serious doubts about his example and leadership. Other leaders such as Cardozo and Da Silva in Brazil who also faced years of military rule- without the bitterness- show Erdogan had not learned from the experience to show a broader understanding required of leaders.

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.

The participation of the Islamist and the secular leaders in the new government of Libya
01/05/2009
Islamists say they are misunderstood. They only want freedom to go the mosque and individual freedoms. One Islamist leaders says westerners do not understand them and think they want to lock up their women in boxes. Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood rebels did a lot of the hard fighting against the Gaddafi regime and Belhaj is one of the leaders running the capital Tripoli. See the interview with Belhaj by Rod Nordland in the New York Times, Sept. 1, 2011. Belhaj says he is grateful to NATO and the West for the help in fighting Gaddafi and holds no rancor- even though he was turned over to the Gaddafi regime by the CIA in this amazing account by Nordland.

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.
