Before arriving to Britain's capital London, Egyptian citizens believe that they will get some distance, even if only a little, from their home country or miss its atmosphere, its sorrows, its struggles, its noise and its calm. Yet they soon (...)
Is Egypt suffering from a state of chaos? The answer is definitely yes. But is it going through a dangerous phase? The answer is certainly no. Indeed, chaos, unrest, excess zeal and the desire to break laws and norms, and even morals, has made life (...)
It is inappropriate for a journalist or a reporter to address an issue that concerns the performance of a fellow journalist, writer or broadcaster. Yet the issue of the suspension of Bassem Youssef's television show goes far beyond that of a mere (...)
All indications unequivocally point to the fact that restoring stability to the situation in Egypt would require a long time, during which Egyptians would be paying the price for the insistence of one faction on remaining one of the main players on (...)
Since the Muslim Brotherhood has chosen to keep moving on the path it has chosen for itself until the very end, it is only natural for it to seek to thwart the efforts of the interim government in Egypt. In fact, it is expected for its members and (...)
The mistakes of the Muslim Brotherhood did not become apparent and did not attract anyone's attention before the January 25 Revolution, except for very few people, or when major historical events would bring us back to Judge Ahmad Khazendar, Prime (...)
After having talked of legitimacy, the democracy of ballot boxes, the democratically elected civilian president and other such notions, the Muslim Brotherhood refuses to admit that the rule of Doctor Mohamed Morsi had failed to meet people's hopeful (...)
In his latest televised message, Doctor Essam El-Erian specified the conditions needed to put a stop to the Muslim Brotherhood's protest activity as follows: reinstating Doctor Mohamed Morsi as President, revoking the dissolution of the Shura (...)
When former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, many imagined that the Revolution had triumphed, and that Egyptian secular forces would seize the opportunity to lay the foundations for a modern state after getting rid of the legacy of the (...)
Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood has the right to warn against turning away from democracy, as do many others. But this does not mean clinging to a president and a regime of rule who governed Egypt for a year, during which they worked to serve the (...)
There are differences between the experience of the Afghan Mujahideen, as well as the Taliban movement, and that of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This is especially true in terms of the geographical distance and the nature of the environment (...)
One of the main reasons for the failure of the experience of Islamist rule in Egypt and for the Muslim Brotherhood's current crisis, after Doctor Mohamed Morsi was deposed and removed from the office of president, is this ambiguity in the political (...)
None of the initiatives being put forward to calm things down in Egypt, reduce the tension between the Muslim Brotherhood and the interim government, convince the Brotherhood not to hold protests, or stop government authorities from arresting the (...)
When the second Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Al-Hudaybi, wrote his book "Preachers Not Judges", at a time when Brotherhood members were being imprisoned in the jails of the Nasser era, hunted down or exiled from Egypt, he sought (...)
In the past, the late President Anwar Sadat said that the Americans held 99 percent of the cards of the game, by which he meant the Palestinian issue. But there are some who have grown accustomed to using this expression every time a problem erupts (...)
When one takes a look at Egypt, the situation appears complicated and raises fears that the crisis will continue in its current state. But if one examines things more closely and observes that Cairo's streets have seen their traditional congestion (...)
Certainly the pressures exerted by the Americans and the stance taken by the Europeans act in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and certainly every criticism directed at Egyptian authorities by international organizations or foreign countries (...)
The reality in Egypt affirms that no side to the crisis has a clear plan for the future. Thus, the outlines of this future have yet to materialize; it is true that there is a political road map, announced by Defense Minister Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, (...)
The stance taken by Islamists in Egypt in general, and by the Muslim Brotherhood in particular, on Defense Minister Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi is well known and understandable. Indeed, the man has overthrown their rule in the greatest Arab country and (...)
There are initiatives put forward to work through the Egyptian crisis or look for solutions to it, which include among their clauses that of reinstating Mohamed Morsi as President, even if temporarily, until a referendum is held over his position or (...)
No official announcement was made in regard to the place of detention of Dr. Mohamed Morsi. And when Westerner voices called for his release, Cairo responded by saying that he was in a safe location and receiving proper treatment. Morsi left the (...)
Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt can bring the country to a standstill, by closing off roads, sleeping in front of cars in tunnels, erecting barricades and placing rocks on top of bridges, or by obstructing traffic and sowing confusion on the (...)
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is well aware that Colonel General Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi's statement, by virtue of which Dr. Mohamed Morsi was deposed, was like a bullet fired from a gun that will never again return to it. Rather, the same gun could (...)
One year of President Mohamed Morsi's rule in Egypt has led to placing the group he is affiliated to, the Muslim Brotherhood, before the greatest danger it has had to face in its history since its establishment in 1928. The issue goes far beyond (...)
There is no doubt about the ability of Egyptian Islamists in general and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular to gather large crowds in protests or in displays of power, whether to support the president or to frighten those who oppose him. Indeed, (...)
