First of all, I want to say thank you to Michael van der Galien for inviting me to contribute a guest post to this excellent new blog. A few words about myself and what I do: I’m the director of research at the Project on Middle East Democracy, a Washington-DC based nonprofit that examines how the U.S. can more effectively support democracy and democrats in the Middle East. You can see my bio here. My blogging home is Democracy Arsenal, a progressive group-blog on foreign affairs. Chec..

I asked Mr. Romney whether he would consider including qualified Americans of the Islamic faith in his cabinet as advisers on national security matters, given his position that "jihadism" is the principal foreign policy threat facing America today..

Ali Eteraz is fun to read, and his articles are often quite provoking (in a good way). I like how he takes the shibboleths of a community, and attempts to tear them apart, with sometimes rather amusing results. In his latest for the Guardian, ..

Lastly, Dodd does something which I find really annoying. Republicans tend to do it quite a bit, but Democrats occasionally fall into the trap as well. This is the habit of listing all Islamist groups as part of one monolithic threat and failing to make the any distinctions. To refer to Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood in the same sentence is mindboggling. The former is a fringe terrorist organization that has a relatively small following in Gaza. The latter is the strongest op..

Houdaiby has also been an outspoken proponent of an official U.S.-Islamist dialogue. Where many other Islamists are afraid to be associated with the U.S., Houdaiby is of a different mind, as he makes clear in this op-ed. If you’re concerned that he’s just pandering to Western audiences, you can find out for yourself by reading his personal blog in Arabic. ..

The Bush administration’s Pakistan policy has been pretty bad over the last few years (like with nearly everything else). However, today, the Bush administration, and particularly Condi Rice, has a rare opportunity to do the right thing, and put its muscle where its mouth is..

we don’t have to bomb Iran this minute..

In response to my blog-colleague Michael’s post below, I find it surprising that the notion that U.S. policy is “partly responsible” for the very bad situation the Arab world finds itself in today is controversial. ..

He went on to talk about the retributive impulse that had defined the post-9/11 American “psyche;” how we, too, have acted irrationally and done things that have not only failed to help us, but have so obviously hurt us. Our pride and our honor took a hit on 9/11. And what came out of it was a visceral reaction, one full of confused anger. Such impulses are necessary at first, even healthy. Anger can be a good thing, particularly when channeled constructively in support of a national c..

The question whether or not this is true, however, remains.” Yes, the question for better or worse (probably worse) remains...

Andrew Mandelbaum, who understands Morocco more than most, has a good post up at The Democratic Piece (bookmark it!) that goes into some useful detail about how smart autocracies (like Morocco) don’t need to rig elections. ..

Ramadan is a joyous event that transcends the private, and sometimes lonely, fast. Muslims gather with friends and family just before sunset waiting patiently for the go-ahead to dig into copious amounts of elaborate dishes. After more than 12 hours of hunger,..

Glenn Kessler’s profile of Condi Rice is well worth the read. Like most articles about the Bush administration, it reads like a tragedy. And I read it with sadness, regret, and, finally, anger. Again, I was left wondering what might have been. ..

The president gave a speech about the democracy agenda, but he never put a democracy agenda together. In all policy areas, but especially in foreign policy and diplomacy, saying things isn’t the same as changing policies. ..

Well, not really, but more dead than alive. Anyway, I was prompted to say something in response to Glenn Greenwald’s rather bizarre claim that ..

What he does not seem to grasp - and the Bush administration is no better - is that America is the cutting edge of a modernity that has convulsed Islam as a faith and a civilization. This collision will likely become more violent, not less, as Muslims more completely enter the ethical free fall that comes as modernity pulverizes the world of our ancestors. ..

Unfortunately, he at no point explains why engaging with the Brotherhood and other mainstream Islamist parties is a bad idea. I lay the case for engagement not only in the PPI report, but also in a similarly long piece for Democracy: A Journal of Ideas. Taken together, these two articles attempt to address many of the mistaken assumptions about political Islam and explain how engagement can actually help us deflate extremism and win the war on terrorism. In the Democracy piece, in part..

Ok. Go read this. Now. It’s that good. No, actually, it’s better. So rarely do I read a piece on democracy promotion that I agree with 85-100%...

 Democracy also means that Islamists are allowed to vote 
 
 
When Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced recently that Egypt would, for the first time in its history, hold a multi-candidate president election, the international community reacted with collective surprise. Some, perhaps prematurely, hailed this as a courageous move. Others, particularly in the U...

The (Egyptian) Muslim Brotherhood, the region’s most influential opposition movement, announced just a few days ago that it will be forming a political party. The MB has flirted with the idea since the early 1980s. They probably would have gone ahead and formed one long ago, if there was any reason to think the government would legalize it. The Egyptian government, however, refuses to legalize..
