This Brotherhood has a real sense of purpose


Analysis: Since the 1970s, the Brotherhood has tried to position itself as a centrist religious mainstream political movement

By Fawaz A Gerges

".....Since the 1970s, the Brotherhood has tried to position itself as a centrist religious mainstream political movement. It entered the last election against the wishes of other members of the opposition and now has also entered talks with the regime. This is all part of a goal to enter mainstream politics, as the ban remains in place. It is seen by many other members of the opposition as opportunistic and capable of back-door deals. Even with the hated Mubarak regime."
