Muslim Brotherhood Might Be Islamic, But I Don't Know

Morsi in Egypt is head of the Muslim Brotherhood; Installing a Government with US Support for Extremism, according to Analyst.


I watched this YouTube video, which is on my own Channel, so you can watch for yourself. It’s a very interesting and probably true analysis.

But I beg to differ with the analyst’s equating of Egyptian or even Turkish Muslim Brotherhood with “Islamic”; how Islamic they will be, as in Turkey, it seems quite "Islamic", in terms of what we’ve seen about support for Muslim women’s right to wear the hiijab; before the Muslim MP was refused and evicted out of the Parliament for wearing her Islamic headscarf, which should not be the case in either a democratic free country, or an Islamic free country, like Turkey. I hope Turkey will be a good example for the world, as it grapples with so many problems, one must wait patiently; it is true T. Erdogan is a devout Muslim, but how will he continue to solve Turkey’s problems like the serious issue of Kurds and a Kurdish homeland? I believe in Islamic history there is plenty of food to nourish minds with the islamically correct thing to do, when you have different cultures or religions living together; hopefully peace and justice will prevail; sometimes the eyes want more, but the stomach is full. Will the country be able to meet all the peoples’ needs and wants, too, so that there can be harmony within Turkish society, and with its neighbours? Sometimes, reality proves too difficult to overcome with love and prayer, or even fairly elected government. Sometimes, it is almost impossible to meet everyone’s needs and their wants, too!



I disagree that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood should be called “Islamic” by the analyst, because we will have to wait and see what happens; it’s too early to tell if it will be really Islamic or something much different. It is wrong to call just anything Islamic because it is naming itself as “Muslim”, or “Islamic”. Yes, one can be Muslim, but also “unIslamic” at the same time. How often do we see this in the so-called “Islamic” world? Say, rather that Morsi is a Muslim, or Muslim Brother. That way, we don’t have to argue about semantics, right!



I can very well believe that the Obama Administration (not “a free and democratic America” - you see how I can avoid the semantics?) would support a radical, or extremist form of “Islam”, to further their agenda; their goal is to discredit Islam, to prove that “Islam” is the reason that the Arabs are backwards, and can’t take care of their own business. Then they will accuse the elected government in Egypt of “totalitarianism”, and so on. But did they ever intervene in 30 or 40 years of rule by the murdering and torturing government of Mubarak? No, and Muslims won’t forget how the American government, in the past, supported despotic regimes all over the world, who refused to give their people basic human rights.



Therefore, why do they accept American support for their new government?

If Morsi knows about behind the scenes American involvement or support for his government, he should speak now, and tell the Americans to leave Egypt alone.

Ask his people for forgiveness for dealing with the enemy. The party does not need anyone’s acceptance, except from the people of Egypt.
