Second, I had to give up on this book. I couldn't make heads or tails of some things. Add in the author actively excludes facts like the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood did use violence and use it frequently while actively campaigning against Mubarak's regime but paints the MB as merely a social works group, I couldn't take the author seriously. The MB were never benign. I'm not sure what reality the author lives in but the one he lives in is vastly different from the one I and the Islamist groups live in.
Oddly, I found the Wikipedia page on "Islamism" to be much better and more useful. ( )
