The arrest of the Muslim Brotherhood's online editor, Khaled Hamza, is just the tip of the iceberg in a larger pattern of Egyptian repression of reformists. These actors are good for the us and we should take notice of these injustices.
In the Middle East and elsewhere, we do not have the luxury of choosing our allies like dessert, based on our inclinations or whether we happen always to like what they say. The Muslim Brotherhood merits our attention.
Examining the Muslim Brotherhood objectively and in light of its relationship with other currents is a necessary first step in facing up to our challenges in the Middle East.
