good fella is'nt completely wrong though maddy, they did start out as a religious group with no political agenda but that quickly changed specially with the collapse of the ottman empire. then in the late 70's with sadat trying to bring about tv like democracey he gave them some space to maneuver bec back then the socialist and the nassirtes had some strong grounds and from there they started to mingle with politics in egypt. in the begining of the 80's in my honest opinion they started using there islamic back grounds as a means to reach the top and now that they r in the top they use there vague understanding of islam which by the way has a lot of conflicts with Islam its self and with the azher which is the moderate islamic body in egypt. hence why goodfella said there is nothing islamic about them and i share the same opinion about them. they are a bunch of hypocrites that preach what they dont do and do what they dont preach.
i cant argue against this since i have very little knowledge on egyptian matters, which is why i didnt mention the muslim brotherhood specifically but "some muslim organisations/groups".
my problem is that the statement that some arent true muslims. i know enough of islam - and other religions - to know that very few scholars agree fully on what is the
true islam. so it creates a very confrontative climate when one claims to be true.
how can you have a fruitful and open-minded theological discussion with a theist who already know the answers?
