Hamas and Egypt - Far more significant than Hamas' temporary ascendancy is the explosive effect for the region as a whole. If Hamas can be elected in occupied Palestine and Fateh can become a loyal opposition aiming to win back power in later elections, why can't the Muslim Brotherhood be elected in Egypt and the most important Arab state become a democracy too? Every regime in the region will be shaken to its foundations. And not just shaken.
what do we think about the success of Hamas in the recent Palestinian elections? What should our attitude be to militant Islam in the Middle East?
