Muslim Brotherhood ... we've been here before
The New York Times never fails to fail, as Bret Stephens reminds us today in the WSJ. Back in 1979, Prof Richard Falk writes in the Times:
"The depiction of [Khomeini] as fanatical, reactionary and the bearer of crude prejudices seems certainly and happily false, ... What is also encouraging is that his entourage of close advisers is uniformly composed of moderate, progressive individuals. ... Having created a new model of popular revolution based, for the most part, on nonviolent tactics, Iran may yet provide us with a desperately needed model of humane governance for a third-world country."
Stephens reports that "Nicholas Kulish wrote on Feb. 4 that members of the Brotherhood 'come across as civic-minded people of faith.'" To the WSJ's credit, Stephens reviews the true history and nature of the Brotherhood.
