Etude: les Frères musulmans égyptiens face à la question sociale Husam Tammam et Patrick Haenni - Institut Religioscope15 May 2009 C’est pour l’instant par l’attentisme que les Frères gèrent la question sociale, estiment Husam Tammam et Patrick Haenni dans leur nouvelle étude que nous publions ici. La question sociale représente en effet "une épreuve capitale pour la vision du monde des Frères" et leur idéal d'une "société unitaire cimentée par les valeurs et la morale religieuse". Obnubilée par le rapport qu’entretient l’islamisme au politique et à l’État, la recherche s’est peu penchée sur la relation de l’islamisme à la question sociale.

The Draft Party Platform of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: Foray Into Political Integration or Retreat Into Old Positions? The production of a political platform by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is a sign that real developments—some encouraging, some worrying—are occurring in Egyptian politics. While the Muslim Brotherhood is prevented by Egypt’s government from forming a political party—a ban unlikely to be overturned in the near future—the release of a platform signaled what sort of party they would found if allowed to do so, according to a new report from the Carnegie Endowment.
In The Draft Party Platform of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: Foray Into Political Integration or Retreat Into Old Positions? , Senior Associates Nathan Brown and Amr Hamzawy analyze the draft platform’s mixed signals—surprising progressive reforms; regressive, controversial stances; and the chances of achieving a consensus on the anticipated final document. Encouragingly, the platform advances notions of freedom of religion and expression, pluralistic politics, property rights, women’s enfranchisement, and state sovereignty. Critics on MB's political program. The Muslim Brotherhood is facing one of the most critical periods in its history.
A month ago, the Brotherhood issued its political program, the first of its kind since the establishment of the Brotherhood. Copies of the program were sent to a number of political commentators in order to receive their feedback on the program. In general, the program came as a shock to the political commentators and the public in general. Despite the Brotherhood’s allegations that this is just a first draft and that it is open for criticism and revisions, a lot of arguments overwhelmed any positive initiatives taken by the Brotherhood.
Two issues raised a lot of controversy and came as a disappointment, and in some cases a shock, to many people. The first issue was barring women as well as Christians from becoming president. The second issue was the establishment of a board of Muslim clerics to oversee government and parliament’s decisions, a form very close to that of the Iranian political system. Views of intellectuals over MB's party program. The declaration of Mohamed Mahdi Akef, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) chairman, that the group plans for presenting a program of a political party, was considered a rebirth of the MB that was founded in 1928 by imam Hassan Al Banna . Apart from the MB plans and whether it is presenting this program for founding a political party or it is just presenting a program to the society, but this stirs a debate over the MB’s attitudes towards various issues, specially the group’s attitude towards issues of citizenship, violence civil/Islamic state and other issues and fears that haunt intellectuals when they discuss the political rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s literature (previous writings) are greatly lacking writings about the jobs and roles of the religious institutions; what are these jobs and can they turn into a religious country; we need also a full economic view for solving Egyptian economic crisis. *Khaled Al Sawi (leftist actor) says : *As for Mr. . * Dr. . * Dr. What MB platform means. MB Platform in The Eyes of Young Brothers. The preliminary draft of the Muslim Brotherhood Party platform triggered mixed reactions and criticism from politicians and intellectuals and some members of the group itself. The group had presented about 50 intellectuals with the draft of the program to get their viewpoints before issuing the program’s final version.
But, it was faced with sharp criticism. Ikhwanweb explored the opinion of the MB youth to get their views about the platform. Magdy Saad, a young member of the Brotherhood and the blogger of "Ok! It is not important" considers one of the most positive aspects in the draft is the adoption of the modern democratic and parliamentary system, which he sees as a credit to the Islamic movement in Egypt as a whole, which will influence other Islamic movements in the region.. The party programme overcome this point by spelling out the problems and the many demands of the society and suggested solutions to a great number of them". Aya cited several positive points in the draft. Habib admits errors in MB program. Habib explains MB's political program. MB and political party. Prompted by those who defy granting the Muslim Brotherhood an official political party that would enable them of serving and defending the people and combating any exterior pressures (under the pretext that the law prohibits the formation of religious-based parties), the Muslim Brotherhood have issued a statement, announcing that they represent an integrated Islamic body that has historical, political and social legitimacy, and that has influence and prevalence covering all Egypt.
The MB, according to the statement, seeks to establish a civil party of an Islamic authority in accordance with article II of the Egyptian constitution. The statement adds that the constitution secures freedom of political practice for all Egyptians, party members and independents, and that the MBs will adopt all possible peaceful and civilized methods, in compliance with the constitution, to practice their constitutional and political rights. Actually, the MB’s keenness to form a political party is not new.
