To my great surprise I just discovered that the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has its own web site — in English. The Brotherhood is committted to nonviolence, and would probably be the largest single political force in Egypt were the U.S.-backed Mubarak dictatorship to permit free elections. At first glance, I find the site impressive and intriguing — especially the feature “MB (Muslim Brotherhood) vs. Qaeda,” in which the organization takes on the violent jihadists.
Here’s my question: Is the Arabic-language Brotherhood site roughly similar? Does it include similar attacks on Al-Qaeda?
I would appreciate a very quick comparison and brief summary; I’m not asking any of our Arabic speakers to spend hours translating. I just want to be comfortable that what I read in English is not radically different than what is appearing in Arabic.
Thanks in advance.
