The Muslim Brotherhood after the July 2013 coup in Egypt following street protests by liberals- discussion within the Brotherhood and the political quandary for the U.S.

11/26/2011

The questions raised by Muslim Brotherhood leaders in the Arab world range from discussion about the errors in governing Egypt without reaching out to other groups, to a sense that the west will never accept the Muslim Brotherhood in government. The latter vew cites the military coup in 1952 following similar protests in Egypt and the annullment of elections won by Islamist parties in Algeria in 1992, and the futility of voting in elections. Islamist parties participate in Tunisia and Libyan politics and government and in government in Turkey, and the U.S. limits itself to a constructive role for all parties, which makes the situation very different today.

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.

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.
