Good news. Think Obama needs to make a speech to the Libyans and condemn them for clinging to guns and religion? I have liked seeing Libyans condemning the AQ attacks on the US and our ambassador.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I think of the Brotherhood as the Pentecostals of Islam.
As I understand, the Brotherhood originated from a Sufi group, who was primarily concerned with holiness (as defined by Islam).
They were outlawed by Mubarak because they noticed that he wasn't very holy.
(he wasn't).
"Allah is our objective" would suggest the brotherhood is anything but secular.
I can't see the Brotherhood as being secular, just as I can't see Pat Robertson as being secular.
Yet - in a warped, bizarre sense - Robertson seemed to think it was a secular gig:
In the quest for the highest secular prize our nation has to offer a third place finish is respectable.
(from Robertson's 1989 book, The Plan )
Maybe the Brotherhood sees the position as being secular - just as Pat Robertson did.
