A Radical Turn for the Muslim Brotherhood? Posted by Shadi Hamid

The Muslim Brotherhood recently elected a new leader, Mohammed Badie, considered a staunch conservative and/or a Qutbist and/or otherwise scary character. At the Brookings Institution's blog "Up Front," I've written a short piece which counters the conventional wisdom that Badie's election signals Islamist "radicalization" or ideological regression. You can read it here.

For one, unlike many of its secular counterparts, the Muslim Brotherhood has never depended on individuals and personalities, but rather on strong organizational and institutional structures. Moreover, the group has already issued definitive ideological statements on a number of contentious issues, including women’s rights and political pluralism (in 1994). In 2004, it unveiled with great fanfare its “reform initiative,” in which it publicly affirmed many of the foundational components of democratic life.

The Brotherhood cannot renege on these past commitments without taking a major credibility hit in the eyes of Egyptians. So it won't.

As they say, read the whole thing.

Doctor told me the foot cramps and frequent colds are due to chemo. Still hurts where I sit.

I agree with the statement that "The Brotherhood, perhaps today more than ever, is a prisoner not of its leaders but of its circumstances."
