This article by Edmund
Blair, Tom Perry talks of the result of Arab Spring and describes how Islamists
have been able to take advantage of the situation. They write: The Muslim
Brotherhood has quietly spread its influence far beyond Egypt in its 84-year
history, but Arab revolts have opened broad new political horizons the group
hopes will reflect its founder’s vision for the Arab and Islamic world.
“There is no doubt that Hassan al-Banna
believed in Islamic unity and not just Arab unity. But with such a vision we
must consider reality and what is possible,” said Mahmoud Ghozlan, a member of
the Brotherhood’s executive bureau.
Interviewed at the group’s new headquarters in
Cairo, he called such unity a “long-term objective,” but seemed alive to the
possibilities thrown up by a ferment in which Islamists are driving mainstream
politics across North Africa and beyond.
