Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood open to talks CAIRO - Egypt's powerful Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, said Friday it is willing to hold talks with the United States, taking up an offer of dialogue seen as an implicit recognition by Washington that the group will likely hold significant political power in Egypt's post-Hosni Mubarak era.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Muslim Brotherhood is no threat to democratic development in Egypt. The Brotherhood is a well- organized movement in Egypt, but it was not the spark for the protests that led to the recent change in government. Now that there is an opening for political activity in Egypt, the Brotherhood gives every indication that it will participate, and participate actively.
S. policies in the region are either in retreat or undergoing re-examination," Ayman Abelaziz Salaama, international law professor at Cairo University told IPS. "Washington's project for a new Middle East - launched in 2001 with the aim of redrawing the region to suit U.S. interests - has failed. "The U.S. has obviously changed course on Iran," Essam al-Arian, a leading member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood opposition movement and head of the group's political department, told IPS. "The intelligence report has ensured that a U.S.-led war on Iran is off the table." According to [Halim Kandil], the U.S. failure to win decisively in Iraq has forced Arab capitals to reassess the vaunted U.S. military might. "Given the situation in Iraq, the Arab regimes now realize that U.S. power isn't ...
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt - Protesters set fire to cars, tires and two polling stations, clashing with police firing tear gas in riots that erupted around Egypt on Monday over allegations the ruling party carried out widespread fraud to sweep parliamentary elections. The country's most powerful opposition movement, the Islamic fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, acknowledged that its lawmakers may be all but completely swept out of parliament by what it and others called rampant rigging.
Zaki Bani Ershaid, the secretary general of Jordan's Islamic Action Front, the country's largest political party, hinted that the easiest way for him to do so would be to get American troops out of Iraq and stab Israel in the back: "A real change in the U.S. policies cannot materialize without rectifying the erroneous attitude considering Israel an ally, withdrawing troops from Iraq." Since so many Americans believe that the Bush Administration owes the world an apology for the American incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan, it is worth noting that Jordan's Islamic Action Front is that country's branch of the international Muslim Brotherhood movement, which, in its own words, is dedicated in this country to "eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging...
CAIRO -- Egypt's new vice president, Omar Suleiman, met Sunday with opposition figures -- including a representative of the banned Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood -- to seek an end to nearly two weeks of political unrest. Suleiman reportedly offered to enact concessions, such as constitutional reform, press freedom and ending the reviled 30-year- old emergency law, when order is restored to protest-filled streets.
According to Hamdi Hasan, parliamentarian for the Muslim Brotherhood opposition movement, the United States, Israel and the NATO alliance are already monitoring the Egypt-Gaza maritime border "with a mandate to intercept any boats carrying aid to Gaza." "This," said Hasan, "is well known. Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri, speaking late lastinonth, said the barrier "has killed the last lifeline keeping the Gaza Strip alive after two-and-a-half years of siege." AlMasri added that the wall "does not serve the interests of any Arab party" and that it "only benefits the Israeli occupation." The government is fond of talking about Egypt's 'sovereignty'," said Hasan. "But when the Israeli navy detained a Lebanese ship in Egyptian waters last summer, Egypt didn't say a word about its vaunted s...
With reference to the U.S. civil rights movement, historian Charles Payne distinguishes between two different activist traditions. In the South there was, he argues, a "community-mobilizing tradition, focused on large-scale, relatively short-term public eventsrc;euro? a "tradition best symbolized by the work of Martin Luther King." At the same time, there was also a "ecommunity organizing tradition," with a "greater emphasis on the long-term development of leadership in ordinary men and women" - epitomized by the likes of SNCC and Ella Baker. Both mass mobilization and long-term leadership development are organizing, and both can be extremely valuable. And, at times, they can overlap. But it's useful to understand that they are distinct processes. A second point: Even during a moment of...

CAIRO (IPS) - Recent internal elections within the Muslim Brotherhood opposition movement were trumpeted in the local press as a victory for the group's "conservative" faction over its "reformist" rivals. But according to independent commentators and a Brotherhood spokesman, media claims of a split within the movement's ranks are unfounded. As in any political movement, there will be differences of opinion," Diaa Rashwan, analyst at the semiofficial al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies, and expert on Islamist movements told IPS. "But it's an exaggeration to say there's an ideological rift within the group. "There may be differences of opinion within the group's leadership, but it's an exaggeration to talk about conservative versus reformist trends," he said. "The local ...
