You cannot really put him in a box may because of being a Shi3a and al-taqiyya doctrine. He was a mix of of being a reformist as well as what one would call today a mild Islamist<br /><br />So much has been made of the fact that he "lied" about his place of birth and about the fact that he was Shi3a but again this is what I call Shi3aphobia that is very prevalent among sunni Muslims <br /><br />But nonetheless I doubt very much that he influenced Hasan el-Bana the founder of the MB as Hasan el-Bana was not well educated or well read and he was an ibtedai teacher or a teacher of primary school and this is as low as you can get in Egypt of 1928 <br /><br />For good reading about him I urge you to read the classic work of Albert Hourani "The Liberal Age" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-64269037335454551412013-07-05T20:53:16.014+02:002013-07-05T20:53:16.014+02:00if elbaradei is your new leader, then you are all ...if elbaradei is your new leader, then you are all doomedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-73028435935312144022013-07-05T15:24:03.032+02:002013-07-05T15:24:03.032+02:00You wrote

You've got a terrific blog. Th...Hello Zeinobia. You've got a terrific blog. Thank you for all your hard work. I've been following Egypt for a number of years with great interest. I used to follow a couple of Egyptians in the blogsphere. One of them was SandMonkey (al Sharia has threatened to assassinate him - per his blog which is now only in Egyptian) and the other one Freedom for Egypt. I miss them but now have the great fortune to have found yet another great Egyptian blog - Egyptian Chronicles. <br /><br />If you're going to study the Muslim Brotherhood I suggest a book called Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam (the US is always to blame - smile) by Robert Dreyfuss. While the Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928, according to Dreyfuss the seed of its radicalism and fanaticism sprouted 90 years earlier with the birth of a Persian named Jamal Eddine al-Afghani. Originally named Jamal Eddine, this Persian named Jamal Eddine al-Afghani was originally named Jamal Eddine. He adopted the name “al-Afghani” in order to create the impression that he was born in Afghanistan. By claiming Afghan origins, Afghani could disguise his identity as both a Persian and Shiite, the minority branch of Islam, thus giving him a broader appeal in the mostly Sunni Muslim world...an interesting book. <br /><br />God bless and every best wish for a truly Democratic and Free Egypt.<br /><br />PS: I wouldn't be surprised if the Muslim Brotherhood was a masonic outfit - at least the nagging confusing pieces would fall together quite nicely...or not.Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086629473163131357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-49238752628900593162013-07-04T11:04:54.518+02:002013-07-04T11:04:54.518+02:00Obviously you've lived away from Egypt for too...Obviously you've lived away from Egypt for too long, thats why you have no idea what you're saying ... we'll forgive you for that I guess.

The US has big problems with gas prices, poverty and unemployment, sounds familiar? Still no coup!!! Why?<br /><br />Because he is the democratically elected president.<br /><br />Wake up fellow Egyptians!!! This is the end of democracy in Egypt.<br /><br />Tomorrow, Shafiq will be back from UAE, as he promised, to lead the old Mubarak regiem with the help of Sami Annan. Probably Gamaal Mubarak will be out of jail soon to join them.<br /><br />Mr. ElBaradei is playing his role brilliantly in destroying Egypt. He should know better that having an alliance with the Mubarak regime just to get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood. But I guess he does not really care.<br /><br />Do you think the Military, Shafiq, Annan et al, will allow anyone to voice their opposition? I don't think so. Today it is the Muslim Brotherhood that is destroyed. Tomorrow probably the rest of Islamists, next comes 6 of April (who started it all), Kefaya, and so on.<br /><br />Congratulations to all Egyptians for the election of President Mubarak. That is President Gamaal Mubarak. :'(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-52946598897058141832013-07-04T05:42:55.543+02:002013-07-04T05:42:55.543+02:00I feel sorry for Egypt and Egyptians.

As a matter of fact, all the misery and troubles in Egypt was caused by the army running Egypt for the last 60 years or so. Dream on Egyptians, the army is not your saver the army is just protecting their own interest with no regard what so ever to the well being of Egypt or Egyptians. History will show it was foolish to think that the army is overthrowing an elected president to protect democracy.

People's everyday problems are so secular everywhere, that the utmost of reachable secular political goals will be a tough target in all near future negotiations. There should not be elections before all respective parts of an #egypt constitution have been settled on a widely public discussion and direct democratically based evaluation. No voting before fully open and transparent information. This is more than difficult. But please know, that there is a global hope for #egypt to give an example and constitute a pattern for all the changes needed around the world. If the youth and the women of #egypt are not instantaniously playing a major part in the process, this hope will be gone.
