الاخوان والحكم
حمل تيار الإسلام السياسي معه إلى السلطة عوامل فشله البنيوية والموضوعية؛ حيث أثبتت تجارب حكم الإسلاميين بعد أحداث "الربيع العربي" محدودية شعاراتهم، التي لا تستند إلى برنامج محدد بقدر استنادها إلى شعار "الإسلام هو الحل".
وفي هذا الكتاب المهم، الذي يتناول أسباب صعود الإسلاميين وتداعيات فشلهم؛ يرصد المؤلف تجارب أربع من البلدان العربية التي تمكَّن فيها التيار الإسلامي من الوصول إلى السلطة، وهي: مصر والسودان وتونس والمغرب.
ولا شك أن تجربة الإسلام السياسي في الحكم كانت كاشفة لمنهج هذا التيار وعجزه عن مواكبة مطالب الجماهير وكسب ثقتها مجددًا، الأمر الذي أكد أنه بغض النظر عن اختلاف التقييم من دولة إلى أخرى، إلا أن القاسم المشترك بين هذه التجارب هو العجز والفشل، الذي بدا وكأنه قدر محتوم على هذا التيار، الذي يتحمل وحده أسباب فشله في تدبير شئون الحكم، فكان السقوط هو ملاذه الأخير.

Moustafa El-Bakri's book, *The Brothers and the Rule*, discusses the causes and outcomes of the Muslim Brotherhood's political activities in many Arab and African countries such as Egypt (Freedom and Justice Party), Sudan, Tunisia (Ennahda Movement) and Morocco (Justice and Development Party). The author focuses on the historical events of those parties and the methods and events they used to gain and maintain power, such as legitimate means (voting) or illegitimate ones (repression, lies, and misrepresentation of their slogans and false claims against their opponents) and the exploitation of their influence to gain all forms of power, whether legislative, executive, or even judicial.
These groups adopted Marxist ideas combined with some religious terms to attract the youth, and took advantage of the harsh conditions of Arab societies, such as corruption in education, illiteracy, and poverty, to quickly gain the support of the youth. Furthermore, they were often accused of supporting terrorism and unfair accusations against rulers and former governments, leading to the development of a poor international reputation.
The Islamic political movements in those Arab countries ultimately failed due to their foundation on corrupt and unstable bases. Reasons for their failure included the groups' greed for political power, their inability to accept competition with other parties, their inability to read the realities they lived in, whether by reviewing the country's history or the demographic composition of those countries (Arab Christians, for example, or African tribes in Sudan), and the distant scope of the accumulated demands of the people, such as providing them with a decent life that guarantees them the right to work, the right to education, and other rights, the most important of which is women's rights.
The similar outcomes of these movements were the spread of corruption and deterioration in both economic and social sides, the distortion of the image of religion, and in some cases, the prediction of their persecution in the future political framework, which is contrary to that. Despite these negative consequences, the presence of those groups has restored to Arab peoples the importance of awareness of political issues and the importance of the community's participation in the country's policies. It has become increasingly clear that these groups' roles are extremely important and effective, and should be focused on the interests of the countries and future generations.
This book emphasizes the importance of understanding the political context in which these Islamic movements operate, as well as the importance of recognizing their hierarchical and power-seeking motivations. It also highlights the need for greater public involvement in the political process, and for governments to prioritize the needs of their citizens in order to ensure a sustainable future. The book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of those movements and their influence on the Arab world, as well as the potential consequences of their actions for the region's future.
