My goodness, you should be paying me.
The problem with looking at the Islamist movements globally and the Muslim Brotherhood.... I know there is a real interest in the Muslim Brotherhood for a lot of reasons.
The tension is usually at the leadership level. The leadership level is not so different from others. My interest has always been to look at the youth and the rank and file. When you look at why they join these organizations, you'll find mostly secular reasons, issues of underemployment more than employment and issues having to do with trying to make a life, a social life, in the context of deep economic and even political crises. The answer to that, usually, is to provide those kinds of things absent the ideological manipulation of a few leaders.
I know that I've been criticized in the Middle East region for being too sympathetic to the young people being recruited. I'm not sympathetic to their ideology, but I'm sympathetic to their social and economic conditions because that's something we can do something about.
