I do believe that the new era of US/Saudi/Israeli/Qatari counter-revolution will entail an alliance with (and use of) the Muslim Brotherhood in all its branches. It is clear that the Brotherhood in Syria have been close to the Americans (and Israelis through the Jordanian mukhabarat and the Lebanese Phalanges since the late 1970s). In Egypt, the Brotherhood is serving the Military Council and will be rewarded with an American recognition soon. That should not be surprising: the US was aligned with fanatical reactionary Islamist groups for much of the Cold War, and is now engaged in direct negotiations with the Taliban--the Taliban, for potato's sake. So I am saying that all those who support the Arab uprisings are obligated to speak out against the reactionary and opportunist Muslim Brotherhood in all Arab countries. They are the enemies of the people and in the past they thwarted all progressive ideas in our region, and their enmity toward women has long been established.
