The information I have "explored" has been one sided and I know it. I have questions, and if you recall my first post on the subject of the Islamic Brotherhood I presented a line of questions on one of many subjects.

My point is that there are those who seem to be vying for a kind of hysterics about an organization that happens to be Muslim in a country that happens to be 90% Muslim. These same critics are doing so to the degree that it's preferable to them to maintain a corrupt authoritarian regime out of fear that a Muslim political organization might exert their influence in the wake of a political upheaval despite said organization's stances on Islamic reform and democratic systems.

We can not deal with un-named "critics" but we could address concerns of people who post here.

But America isn't concerned about Egyptian democracy; they're worried about Islamic influence.

What a charge. I can not find any serious justification or support for the above statement. However, there is concern about, war, stability in the ME, Israel, human rights and basic freedoms. Seems it would be pretty easy for any group , religious or not, to state where they stand.
