Letters to the Editor

Q: I hope the editor is reading this. I must thank him for the fantastic job of enlightening us Muslims with thoughtful, insightful editorials time and again which challenge the picture we unwittingly build in our minds based on the inputs (and successful propaganda) from the media and the like.

Here is a video I watched that questioned Political Islam being a failure today, with the case of Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood taken into particular discussion (the allegations by 32 Human Rights organizations, and so on cited as abject failures): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpmsqABAmCo&list=UUNye-wNBqNL5ZzHSJj3l8Bg

Could you please write an editorial about this? I know this would make you repeat what you quite often write, so something on the lines of an argument against the Brotherhood being labelled a terrorist organization (so sadly even by KSA and the UAE); and such allegations and conclusions that political Islam and Islamism (whatever that implies) has failed.

I know I should be taking up a bit of research myself, but then I think I wouldn’t be able to write an article 1/100th as good, coherent, logical, well-researched, persuasive and clear as you certainly can!

Hoping for a little reply, if not a complete editorial itself.
