By H.A. Hellyer

…” in Egypt. One wonders, though, if the commentators actually realize what Egyptian society is really like. Over the past week, Egyptians have piled out onto the streets; by day, many of them are at Liberation Square, protesting against the ruling establishment, and by night, many of them are patrolling their streets and guarding their neighborhoods, in a spontaneous demonstration of civil defense. It was necessary: the Egyptian state had called t…

The Uneasy Coexistence of the Cairo Rumor Mill with Muslim Principle of Isnad

By H.A. Hellyer

…d see that those in Egypt are beginning to argue with those outside of Egypt. A feeling is beginning to spread that there are some inside of Egypt who feel that ideology is driving those outside of Egypt, and that those outside of Egypt are asking people in Egypt to do things they themselves wouldn’t do – like risk their lives by going to Tahrir Square. Inside Egypt, you can also find those who are calling each other traitors for not going to Tahr…

Mubarak Steps Down; The Birth of a New Egyptian State

By Zaid Hassan

…operating from a place of imagination and possibility, then what can a new Egypt look like? Is it possible to start looking for signs of the truly new? Can we protect these seeds and then start to nurture and grow them in the coming months and years? Can Egypt forge an evolutionary leap when it comes to the tired old nation-state? Is there a role for Islam in the formation of a new state? As we continue to fight, to heal, to celebrate and head bac…

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…

Promise Keepers 2.0: Women and Jews Invited

By J. Terry Todd

…eepers, Galatians 3:28 took on new meanings. This past weekend, “slave nor free” was translated loosely as “the haves and the have-nots.” The reconciliation between the rich and poor didn’t play prominently, either in the event’s promos or at the stadium rally itself. PK did offer a “pay what you can afford” program to woo low-income rally-goers, and it also urged attendees to bring food donations for the Denver Rescue Mission. At the rally itself…

Beck Fuels End-Times Hysteria Over Egypt

By Anthea Butler

…at the Egypt uprising as a spectacular story of human courage and hope for freedom and democracy in the face of oppression, in the world of Biblical prophecy there is only one lens: a sign of the end, a prophetic sign fulfilled, or the beginnings of the tribulation. Sites like Now the End Begins, Prophecy Today, and Calvary Prophecy Report are just a few of the blogs and websites referring to the events in Egypt as a sign of the end or — more omin…

What is ‘The Square’ that Beat Mubarak?

By H.A. Hellyer

…ation; and most of all, it existed in the innocent lives that were lost. Egypt now has a huge challenge in front of it—one that may well be larger than the one they have just overcome. The expectation on the part of many is that all of the problems of Egypt will now be solved—but disappointment will almost surely follow. Yet one hopes that the people of Egypt have shown themselves what is possible when people work together for a common good. They…

By H.A. Hellyer

…rderly transition. These wise men are some of the most well known names in Egyptian society, along with opposition leaders from a variety of political backgrounds. Some of those names were very quiet, and then suddenly appeared yesterday to add yet more pressure on the regime to change. This council of ‘wise-men’ are in an interesting situation. They have the clout, it is believed, to be able to come to an agreement with the regime that those prot…

By Nabil Echchaibi

…mor in the Syrian war frontlines, among other things. As a critical space, Free Arab should be commended for promoting individual rights and civil liberties in the Arab context. The site’s work is also significant because it tries to locate secularism as a vernacular practice, a lived experience in a part of the world exclusively defined by a narrow religiosity and a perpetual combative relationship with the West. The founders believe the remarkab…

The Strategic Caution of the Muslim Brotherhood

By Zaid Hassan

…Brotherhood rejected the comparison: The MB regards the revolution as the Egyptian People’s Revolution not an Islamic Revolution… asserting that the Egyptian People’s Revolution includes Muslims, Christians, from all sects and political groups. The Brotherhood’s eagerness to distinguish Egypt from Iran comes as no surprise given the recent flurry of articles speculating on whether or not they will turn Egypt into an Iran-style theocracy.
