Development outlook after the revolution of January 25
Wrote Nazar Tahhaawi in Al Wafd newspaper on 8/02 / 2011 :
Egyptian uprising enters its third week, it is still an important
question on the table in Washington: Is the Obama administration are in
direct contact with the Muslim Brotherhood ?
Will accept the group as part of the new Egyptian government?
The answer instant that largely exceeded the Obama administration is
the fine line that separates the permitted and forbidden, there are
multiple reports indicate that the United States had been in contact
Brotherhood years ago and officials of the White House in the era of Obama became open more and more towards the post group in the new government Once the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak , has praised Obama's Muslim Brotherhood
and describing them as organizers, too, and explained the Washington
Post published today that the group enjoys images mixed in the United
States; On the one hand there are those who are viewed as structured
Islamic hostile to the West could be his wing extremist very dangerous
on if the U.S. dominated the government, on the other hand, there are
those who consider a group of elderly revolutionaries who should play an
important role in any coalition government is established in Egypt - to be a minority within it - and enjoy the support of 30% of the Egyptian people at the most.
For American officials who are trying to manage the future of Egypt are quiet from afar without provoking violent reactions, perhaps longer post the Muslim Brotherhood
is necessary, perhaps even inevitable Also, contrary to this
possibility with the perceptions of many of the political forces local
U.S.; fears of groups loyal to Israel toward the emergence of an Islamic
regime in the region, to potential criticism from conservatives that
Obama has failed to stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, so from
the White House released a massive iceberg of mysterious messages,
either to reporters or to private groups.
When the press secretary of the White House, Robert Gibbs told reporters that any shift to democracy "must include a full range of political forces, the task is secular
job ", as it should," featuring voices and opposition parties in this
process with our approach towards the holding of free and fair
elections, "has Many sought from pro -Israel groups to obtain assurances that the male does not mean the Muslim Brotherhood .
At the end of last week, said Daniel B Shapiro, an official with the
National Security Council the U.S., that the policy of the United States
to prevent dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood
, according to a report published by the agency (Jewish Telegraph)
Judaism, and whether the group will participate in the formation of the
new government in Egypt
, was quoted agency quoted Shapiro as saying: "Something like this will
be determined by the Egyptian people just ... will not mediate the
United States."
But White House officials, including Obama himself, were ambiguous about this matter, which indicated that they are open to the participation of the Muslim Brotherhood
without having to declare it openly, in a meeting with Fox News, Wind
Obama skillfully about the questions asked on the group, it has He said:
"There is something you must understand is that there are a full range
of secularists in Egypt , and there is a full range of educators and civil society in Egypt want to be in also provided .. It is important for us to avoid saying: The two options the only ones we have are: either Muslim Brotherhood or the oppression of the Egyptian people. "
In answer to a question about whether it would like to see the Muslim Brotherhood in the Egyptian government, said Obama : "What I want is a representative government, and I am sure that if you move Egypt towards democracy in the process of a gradual shift, we will find that there is a government can deal with her partner "..

The position Obama of تقربة for the Muslim Brotherhood and understanding of the principles and ideas reactions against Barack Obama and criticizing him, and Rod did in favor of the position of the Muslim Brotherhood .
Reactions in favor of Obama in his view of the Muslim Brotherhood
Issued a democracy
project in the Middle East (Bhumid) - a non-profit organization has
received support from the U.S. State Department - A new study entitled:
"The move towards an integrated strategy for the promotion of democracy and human rights in Egypt , "the writer's Gregory.
Avtandeljan, who has worked for about thirty years as an analyst for
the Egyptian affairs in the U.S. State Department, in addition to his
work as a consultant for many of the House of Representatives in the
Senate and House of Representatives of the Americans.
The study calls for officials in the Obama administration to establish a channel of communication open with the Muslim Brotherhood
on the grounds that the United States can not claim that they support
pluralism without the acceptance of the political representation of the
largest opposition force in the country.
In addition to the section on the issue of Islamic study addresses
several other points, including: the nature of the Egyptian-American
relations, and why should the United States encourages political reform
in Egypt ? And problems resulting from the policy of the previous administration of President George W. Bush , and lessons learned, and an integrated strategy for the United States to promote democracy and human rights in Egypt .
The author points to the existence of strategic relations with Egypt since the Camp David treaty
the late seventies of the twentieth century, and that the priorities
differed at the beginning of this period for its conclusion as
concentrated in the beginning about the Egyptian role in the region to
lead the settlement between the Arab states and the state of the Zionist
occupation, then focused on the democracy in the last decade under the
conditions of political and economic conditions experienced by Egypt
; which prompted the United States to adopt programs on democracy and
human rights by the USAID and the initiative of the Middle East
Partnership (MEPI), announced by President Bush in 2002 .
Following his arrival to the presidency beginning of the year 2009, President Barack Obama announced that support for freedom and democracy
in the forefront of American policy during the period of his
presidency, and explain the study by saying that there are demands
popular with democracy
even improve the political environment serves good governance and the
Egyptian economy crisis, but did not address Islamic factor here, and
that seems to be standing behind and enters the new strategy at the same
time as one of the elements where you go other U.S. studies that
promote democracy and support liberal currents will reduce the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist movements in Egypt and promote political reform in the country.
The author adds that the survival of the situation as it is is unacceptable because, for example, in the year 2008 caught about 323 demonstration and strike from various groups and movements of labor, peasant and student and political .. Etc., which may bring to mind the period prior to the 1952 revolution that led to the revolution and make profound changes in domestic and foreign policy for Egypt .
Perhaps the most important reason, which refers to the writer is that the promotion of democracy in Egypt, serving in that stability in Egypt
and the national interest of the U.S. alike, as the support of
authoritarian rule angers Egyptians and Arabs, while reinforcing support
for democracy and human rights credibility of the United States in
general, and thus facilitates the settlement of the conflict
Arab-Zionist.
Under the headline issue of Islamic study suggests that the question of approaching the United States toward the Muslim Brotherhood
dominates all discussions related to political reform in Egypt, as they
prepare the group of opposition political largest in the country,
according to the index electoral during the last parliamentary elections
in 2005
, where they get about 20 percent of the seats, and it was possible to
increase the number of deputies in the absence of government
intervention in the second and third phases of voting.
Since that time, take the Egyptian government procedures continues toward the group was the most important: the constitutional amendments spring of 2007
, which makes it impossible for the group contest the upcoming
presidential election one of the candidates, in addition to it - any
government - put pressure on U.S. officials are always in order not to
interview members of the group, even These young staff who were asking
to meet with leaders of the group in the past.
The study calls for foreign officials and the new U.S. administration to establish a channel of communication open with the Muslim Brotherhood
on the grounds that the United States can not claim that it supports
the social and political pluralism without the acceptance of the
political representation of the largest opposition force in the country.
The author tries to explain this requirement for the Obama administration by saying: The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt does not use violence as a mechanism such as Hamas and Hezbollah , as well as the U.S. administration to open channels of dialogue with the peaceful Islamic movements in other countries as Iraq , Yemen and Morocco .
But what is the agenda of the dialogue between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood ?
The previous dialogues focused on obtaining information from the
community about their positions different - according to interpretations
of U.S. officials to the Egyptian government - the study Bhumid Vetodh
that the goal is to support democracy
and human rights is not on the integration of the group in Egyptian
political life, but from the point of establishing a dialogue about the
rights of minorities and women, including contributing to clarify the
positions of the group directly in such cases and lead to the removal of
misunderstanding about American politics and thereby increase the
credibility of the United States about political reform in Egypt and around.
Also, the upcoming dialogue will address encourage the efforts of members of parliament from the Muslim Brotherhood
regarding strategies to promote good governance and combat corruption,
and in this framework can increase the relationships and dialogues
between the group and the Congress among U.S. House of Representatives
in the U.S. Congress.
And there is a possibility that members of the group rejects these
meetings to ideological and political reasons - as expected by the
author - and here lawmakers must send a message to those that engage in
the framework of this dialogue programs at any time they want in the
future!
Not
only dialogue required between lawmakers from both parties, or between
U.S. officials and leaders of the group, but you must open the door to
the members of the group to participate in programs to support democracy
and attendance at conferences and workshops in the United States and
Egypt, which Siksdha course, the presence of a variety of intellectual
currents and other political to support the issue of political reform
and the participation of the Muslim Brotherhood , indirectly but impressive.
Seven recommendations
In the proposed strategy to support and promote political reform and human rights in Egypt author of the study adopts seven recommendations are:
- Change the tone: to adopt a balanced tone of U.S. policy supports the rights of all Egyptians and their political forces.
- Establish a strategic dialogue with the Egyptian government: and through the establishment of a forum with the task to discuss problems and issues of reform behind closed doors.
- Use of effective tools for promoting reform: by displaying a diverse basket of economic and trade incentives in order to encourage reform Cairo.
- Launch effective programs for Democracy: focus on civil society and especially independents activists who are not allied with the government or belonging to opposition movements (Islamic).
- Strengthen institutional cooperation.
- Working with Europe: in order to search for new opportunities on dialogue and reform initiatives.
- Communication and dialogue with opposition movements: Among those peaceful Islamic movements, especially the Muslim Brotherhood.
- The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of balancing support for political reform and human rights in Egypt on the one hand, and the lack of a threat to U.S. interests in the long term in the region, on the other hand, which dictates that adopts the United States that the strategy for reform in the framework of bilateral relations of America - Egyptian .. ( 7)
- As there was a barrage of criticism for Barack Obama in good relationship with the Brotherhood and his understanding of the correct political approach of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Rod did oppose Obama in his view of the Muslim Brotherhood
Criticized the newspaper « The Washington Times »U.S. President Barack Obama
said that he has contributed significantly to the weakening of U.S.
foreign policy, which did not come out his policy for the broad lines
represented in three specific elements are: to encourage the enemies of
his country, and the marginalization of the links with friends and
weaken the economy, and can not say that The results of this policy due
to incompetence, but are the result of decisions taken and approved by
himself.
The newspaper added that the team Obama declaring readiness to dialogue with the group the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt confirms continued his approach, because «America does not have an enemy deadly more than Brotherhood
, Vuthaúq group revealed by the U.S. Department of Justice in the trial
of Association of the Holy Land emphasizes the pursuit group to impose
its ideology of political, military and legal on the United States ».
The newspaper said that the document emphasizes planned progress and clandestine group, the Muslim Brotherhood , then the use of violence to seize on the government and pave the way for the succession of Islamic
and said «this sounds crazy or is doable, but it is not, especially
when we see the Obama administration dialogue group رغم intentions
this».
The newspaper gave examples of what it deems a threat embodied in re- Egypt relations with both Iran and Hamas , and the welcome extended to Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi in Tahrir Square, Cairo b .. (8)
He also accused one of the most prominent symbols of neo-conservatives in the United States, U.S. President Barack Obama that his call for respect for Islam will do to embrace Islamic law , and adopted the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood .
Said
Frank Gaffney, president and founder of the "Center of security
policies," one of the main institutions of neo-conservatism: The
repetition of President Obama
to declare his intention to establish a "new relationship" with the
Muslim world will mean in the end "embrace the agenda of the Muslim
Brotherhood," which aims to implement Islamic law.
He
said Gaffney, in an article published by "Jewish World Review," which
is one of the most important platforms neoconservative loyalists for " Israel
"- According to the newspaper" The Seventh Day "-" The mission of the
Islamic Sharia is the destruction of Western civilization from within,
as he claimed.
He said Gaffney, a former official in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, "Mr. Obama , as part of his campaign to "respect Islam "will travel to Turkey early April
, and there will not be shown respect only for an Islamic government
did not only change the course of all the institutions of the traditions
of secularism of Kemal Ataturk
, put it fully on the path toward Islamization, but will also
participate in the so-called "coalition of civilizations, which is
sponsored by the United Nations, and reflects the views of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference."
The Obama
has confirmed that he will direct speech special for Muslims, the
Islamic capital major, to translate the policy of "extending the hand of
friendship" to the Muslim world, and strengthen the relationships that
were set up by the United States with him, and considered Obama
that the United States is "ready to launch a new partnership based on
mutual respect and mutual interests "with the Islamic world.
For his part, called " the World Association of Muslim Scholars, " Obama
to fulfill his promises for "change" the traditional view of the Muslim
world, said in a statement: The change is not through a public
relations campaign, or logos abstract, but through "historic
reconciliation" means termination All grievances, and erase from memory
all the negative stereotypes, as well as the need to "apologize" for
historical injustices "organization" from whatever source.
The statement pointed out that successive U.S. administrations can not look for a map of the broad Islamic only through hole "Israel."
Gaffney also claimed co-author of the book " Islamic fascism "and known to frequent his attack on Islam that the Muslim Brotherhood became the driving force within the Organization of the Islamic Conference , said that "many of the American Muslim organizations representing the interface to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Gaffney said, "The clear desire on the part of the Obama administration to embrace the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood , in part, if not entirely, made on American- Islamic organizations "compatible" with the group bolder, "he said.
Gaffney concluded his article by saying, "The message should be: Friends of the Muslim Brotherhood are not friends of America, and siRNA behind us in danger, ".. (9)
Came the final say in that case that the Institute Brokenjr Research, a month the Institute of American political featuring elite political thinkers in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood and objecting to how the injustice that was subjected to the group throughout the history of إضهاد, torture and fraud by Arab governments, also supported the Institute closer to Obama for the Muslim Brotherhood Muslims .
Brokenjr Institute ended the dispute in the interest of the Muslim Brotherhood
The
report issued by the Institute, "Brookings" American, and prepared by
the researcher status "Saban" for Middle East Policy Shadi Hamid, under
the title "reaction Islamists toward repression .. Do you resort groups Islamic ruling to "extremism"? ", supportive and encouraging Obama's position in closer to the Muslim Brotherhood .
And the report practical steps he must manage Obama introduced, most notably reaffirmed publicly the right of all parties opposition including Islamists , especially the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Jordan
, to participate in the upcoming elections and reaffirm the right of
all political groups "non-violent" to participate in the process
campaign.
The report also recommended allowing the American embassies to return to dialogue with the Islamists , after nearly a decade of decision of the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush and the Muslim Brotherhood to stop the dialogue between the two parties in the wake of the September 2001 attacks .
The report spoke of the channels of dialogue open may allow the United States some influence on the strategies followed by the Islamists , and especially with regard to participation in the elections.
The report acknowledged that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt , Jordan, and fell victim to "manipulate" the results of the last election.
He reviewed the reform initiative launched by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 2004
and considered it a "milestone in the political development process in
the group they represent an attempt to raise the issue of democracy and other political forces gathering around a common vision for change. "
He said the U.S. report that for the first time declares that group
faith in the parliamentary system, and the right of the party winning
the largest number of votes to form a government.
The report also exposed to the experience of the Muslim Brotherhood to Jordan and boycott of the elections in 1997 and their return to participate in 2003 , "and they get 17 seats and win a majority of votes."
He also pointed to the reform program announced by the group in 2005
, describing the report as "far-reaching expression of the new
orientation of the Islamic movement to focus on democratic reform."
He reviewed the decision Brothers Jordan to boycott the elections that will take place this year after being accused the government of rigging the elections in 2007
, according to the report, the elections without the participation of
the Islamists "will reduce the legitimacy and opens the door to Salafist
groups to fill the vacuum" .. (10)
