Talk:Muslim Brotherhood in Syria

I just finished reading this article. For the most part the events were true. However, there is always two sides to every story.

Examples:

1-The changing of the constitution to omit the "Muslim" requirement. The constitution was written by France before it gave Syria its independent, so it is ironic that an occupier can write a constitution that can not be modified. Furthur more, on what base a president must be a Muslim. In a democratic sociaty, as The Muslim Brothergood wanted to have, everyone should be equal that include Muslim & others including Christian as well.

2- Riyad Al-turk is the leaser of the comunist party, it would nice to mention that since that is on the opposite side of the Muslim Brotherhood.

3- The Alawit took over syria by default and by the fault of others. Just before France left Syria, the Alawit were forced to join the armey due to the lack of jobs & money in their towns. On the other hand the Muslim & Christian were better off and stayed as far as they can from going to the armey.

4- The System, which was from start and still is, being supported by most Alawit, most Christian, Most Druze, and many Muslim Buisness people who not mind letting an Alwait run the show as long as their business is good. Those Muslim control the business sector in the big cities and contributed to Assad power. If thoses business people did not support Hafez, he would have never lasted. the richest people in Syria are Muslims, but you dont hear about them because they are behind the sceen.

5- The system was never ethiest, they actually put many of the ethiest/ communist in jail. Ryad Al-Turk is one of them. The system used the phrase: "God is yours but the country is for all".

6- It is easy to write an posting based on articls written in news papers, but the fact on the ground is different. I lived thru the terror of the 70 & early 80. The system was not perfect at all, but the Muslim Brotherhood were no angels as well. They killed many innocent people in the name of God or to try to make Syria a true Muslim country.

I would rather have anything but a system like Iran in Syria.

I have posted an entirely new text for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hassan al Banna articles, as well as several new articles:


 * History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt
 * History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (1928-1938)
 * History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (1939-1954)
 * History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (1954-present)
 * History of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria

This amounts to over 12,000 words of text, and is the result of months of research, discussed in Talk:Muslim_Brotherhood, using reputable scholarly texts found at the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. Every paragraph in the main articles is marked with page-number references to the work it is based on.

I am not an expert on this subject, and nothing in these articles is original; I have simply summarised the material in the sources listed. Some of the sources are more favourable to the Muslim Brotherhood; others are more critical. By attempting to represent accurately the accounts given in these sources, I hope to have produced a set of articles that members of the Brotherhood, as well as well-informed critics of the organisation, could see as fair and balanced. However, these articles may well contain errors; if you believe that anything in the text is inaccurate, please correct it, referencing your sources, and leave a note here about the change.

If you are new to this subject, as I was when I began this process, please be aware that a great deal of misinformation can be found on the Internet, and in the press, about the Muslim Brotherhood. In order to keep these articles reliable and neutral, I suggest that, as far as possible, like my humble contributions, all contributions should be based on reputable academic texts by specialists in the field; journalistic sources should only be used for current events, and only if they appear in major national or international news outlets, preferably when the same information is reported by several sources. It is my hope that this policy will enable Wikipedia to be a more reliable source of information about the Muslim Brotherhood than much of what can be found on the Internet.

A few words about my own motivations for doing this: I am not a Muslim, but I respect Islam and I am opposed to imperialism. Although I am certainly not very knowledgeable about Islam, it seems to me that Western misunderstandings about Islam and the Muslim world are contributing to tragic conflicts, and that people need knowledge and understanding of one another in order to live in harmony. I hope that Wikipedia can be a small contribution to that goal, and that people who know more about this subject than I do will improve on this work.

Citation style
I recently changed all citations from Harvard referencing to footnote, because those seem to be the most commonly used now. If anyone objects feel free to revert my edits. Joshdboz 14:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Name change
There doesn't seem to be an actual page for the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, I think this entry could easily serve with just a rename and an update for recent years. Pmolloy291 (talk) 04:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

2012 rewriting
Have been updating the article and would like to explain that the use of somewhat mealy-mouth expressions like "has been described as" and  "has also been called" is because of all the controversy surrounding the MB. I want to give a total NPOV feel to  the article. --BoogaLouie (talk) 15:49, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Muslim Brotherhood's changing attitudes towards the Islamic Republic of Iran
Muslim brotherhood was originally pro Iranian Revolution. They turned against Iran and Shia after Iran allied with Assad and did not help the muslim brothers in their revolution.

Iraq and Syria
Why would MBrotherhood attack 1979 with help of Iraqi government? Those governments are and were friends — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.4.218.126 (talk) 15:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
