Yes it is true that Islam ties politics to religion, and that is a weakness not a strength.
I struggle to listen with open ears to someone who defends the Muslim Brotherhood. I know some kind, good Arab Americans who support them, and I also know a refugee who was forced to flee Sudan after the MB publicly executed her local cleric for advocating equal rights for women.
That's fascism at work. The Muslim Brotherhood encourages the view that some sects of Islam are superior to other creeds, and it is not OK.
- mkaziz 10y agoI think the author's point is that it WAS working, up until 1924 and the deposition of the Caliphate. Then in the modern era, it suddenly became hopelessly outdated - and unfortunately since, so-called "Islamists" have defined themselves on the opposition to other principles (secularism, nationalism and the like) instead of defining themselves in terms of their own ideas.
