In Egypt, supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood have filed a lawsuit seeking to have the Ministry of Culture's State Award of Merit in Social Sciences withdrawn from author Sayed al-Qimni. Al Arabiya today reports that opponents object that: "His works deride Islam and he is skeptical about the message of Prophet Mohamed." Lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh who filed the suit has also called for impeachment of the Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni for approving the choice of Qimni. Previously a court ruled against attempts to ban Qimni's book Rab Haza al-Zaman (A God of this Age) by those who claimed it contained apostasy. Quimni has argued that Islam is a political system rather than a religion.

The difference between a religion and a political system that includes commandments from a god to define law, is that the former "sometimes" exists "side by side" with a government which mostly *ignores* its ideas about what the political decisions should be.
Complaining that someone made this argument is like whining that Alchemy and Wicca are not both systems of "magic", but that one is instead non-magic. lol
Hello I would like to invite you to visit our website : http://www.ikhwanweb.com/
IKhwanweb is the Muslim Brotherhood"s only official English web site. The Main office is located in London, although Ikhwanweb has correspondents in most countries. Our staff is exclusively made of volunteers and stretched over the five continents.
The Muslim Brotherhood opinions and views can be found under the sections of MB statements and MB opinions, in addition to the Editorial Message.
Items posted under "other views" are usually different from these of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ikhwanweb does not censor any articles or comments but has the right only to remove any inappropriate words that defy public taste
Ikhwanweb is not a news website, although we report news that matter to the Muslim Brotherhood"s cause. Our main misson is to present the Muslim Brotherhood vision right from the source and rebut misonceptions about the movement in western societies. We value debate on the issues and we welcome constructive criticism.
