U.S. Sees Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood as “Indispensable Ally” » Publications » Family Security Matters: The New York Times is reporting that “American policy makers who once feared a Brotherhood takeover now appear to see the group as an indispensable ally against Egypt’s ultraconservatives.”
According to the report:
Hazem Salah Abu Ismail is an old-school Islamist. He wants to move toward abolishing Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel and cites Iran as a successful model of independence from Washington. He worries about the mixing of the genders in the workplace and women’s work outside the home. And he promises to bring extraordinary prosperity to Egypt, if it turns its back on trade with the West. He has also surged to become a front-runner in the race to become Egypt’s next president, reconfiguring political battle lines here.
