Why Egypt is America’s Enemy

By Haroon Moghul

…ve—and Syria was dominated by a secular Ba’ath party. Yet, as I wrote, the New York Times, America’s leading newspaper, irresponsibly confused religiosity with a lack of receptivity to democracy. (Then again, if you’re the majority, of course you’d support democracy—a principled stand is sometimes a partisan stand.) Following the latest in the Egyptian military’s unprovoked assaults on civilian protesters, who reasonably enough are furious with th…

The War on Terror is Over; Tahrir Buried It

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…ing his advice on how they might get involved in electoral politics in the new Egypt. They had no interest in going back to the old ways. Clearly the strident message of al Qaeda and the global jihadi movement is, as far as Egypt is concerned, a thing of the past. The old activists are organizing political parties, and the young firebrands are gathering in nonviolent protest. No one seems to be building terrorist bombs any more. This does not mean…

An email with the title “This is the future of Egypt” had been bouncing around Cairo’s inboxes prior to its use by Sawiris. Kim Fox, a journalism professor at the American University of Cairo, believes that the uproar should be viewed in the context of o…

By H. al-Zoubeir

…gacy of Shaykh Emad. A Malaysian friend wrote to me after she heard of the news, expressing her hope that Egypt would stand proud again. The only response I could give was: “Our pride is in the likes of people like Shaykh Emad Effat. His light is not extinguished; it only shines more brightly.” Another friend reminded me of a class Shaykh Emad once gave on a text by Bayjuri, a medieval theologian. At the end, he said that we did not visit the rest…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

By Joanna Brooks

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…

Neither Radical Nor Secular: The West Struggles with the New Islamism

By Blain Auer

…lections, Mohamed Sa’ad al-Katatni responded to fears that his party would promote an exclusivist vision of Egyptian society saying, “Our party is not a religious party, it’s a civil party… that seeks a modern and democratic state, but with an Islamic reference.” In the end, the real story of the revolutions of the Middle East is not one of an “Islamist takeover.” Rather it is the coming of age of a new Islamism that is working to participate in a…

By H.A. Hellyer

…d liberals. While they certainly play significant and influential roles in Egypt, Egypt is far more Muslim and religious. Judging by independent polls, the overwhelming majority of Egyptians probably want that clause to stay, or something similar. Its not Islamist, but it is conservative—and the ultra-puritanical Muslim preachers, that belong to the minority Salafi trend, made sure that Egypt was reminded of its “Islamic identity.” There were even…

…to realize it’s not good.” He then goes on to compare what’s happening in Egypt to the Islamic revolution in Iran — a theory that Haroon Moghul has ably debunked here at RD. Then Christian talk radio host and evangelist Michael Youssef announced that he would be appearing on CNN through out the day: “Before you judge the motives of the protesters, you must know who is really behind those young people on the streets,” stated Michael Youssef, Ph.D….

…r ally Israel. Tragically, a great opportunity has been missed. We cannot afford four more years of naive and politically-correct foreign policy under President Obama.” In other words: I condemn the Egyptian people for voting the way they did. President Obama should stand up for American values and reject Egyptian democracy. How dare they pick the Muslim version of me?…
