Introduction to Current Trends vol. 4 by Hillel Fradkin Published on November 1st, 2006

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood After the 2005 Elections by Israel Elad-Altman Published on November 1st, 2006 The success of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the November-December 2005 Egyptian parliamentary elections—followed as it was by the resounding victory of Hamas in the January 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council elections—has bolstered both its domestic and international standing.

Aims and Methods of Europe's Muslim Brotherhood by Lorenzo Vidino Published on November 1st, 2006 In 1990 Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni scholar and the unofficial theological leader of the international Muslim Brotherhood (al Ikhwan al Muslimoun), published a book called Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase. This 186-page treatise can be considered the most recent manifesto of the Islamist revivalist movement.

Salafi-Jihadi Responses to Hamas' Electoral Victory by Reuven Paz Published on November 1st, 2006 Hamas’ surprising victory in the Palestinian parliamentary elections of January 2006, the first democratic elections to date, has raised a number of questions—questions that are particularly compelling because of the movement’s impressive rate of success and its apparently unstoppable rise to power.

Zarqawi's Anti-Shia Legacy: Original or Borrowed? by Nibras Kazimi Published on November 1st, 2006 Two months before his death, Abu Musa’ab al-Zarqawi recorded a four-hour anti-Shi’a tirade under the title “Has Word of the Rafidha Reached You?” (“Hel ataka hadith al-rafidha”). Rafidha (rejecters) and its other plural form, rawafidh, are derogatory terms used to describe, as Zarqawi makes clear early on his sermon, the “Twelver Imamist Shi’a who follow the Ja’fari creed.”

"Weeding Out the Heretics": Sectarianism in Pakistan by Husain Haqqani Published on November 1st, 2006 The ongoing war in Iraq has drawn the world’s attention to sectarian violence between Islam’s Sunni and Shi’a sects.

The Islamist Insurgency in Thailand by Zachary Abuza Published on November 1st, 2006 On January 4, 2004 Islamic militants in southern Thailand launched a daring and well-coordinated raid on an army post and got away with a large cache of weapons that included some 300 M-16s.
