Abstract

This article provides an analytical discussion on the Islamist challenge in Egypt, with an aim to explore conditions and conflict-prone effects of the movement. The study, utilizing a historic analysis, suggests that the Islamic opposition in Egypt is to some extent value-driven, but it is mostly a reaction to undesirable conditions, namely, economic distress, widespread poverty, unjust distribution of national wealth, state suppression, as well as spreading sense of alienation of Islamic views from the political sphere. Hence, the study reaches the conclusion that positive actions should be taken to deal with these issues if the religious opposition is to be successfully managed in Egypt.

Özet

Bu makale, Mısır’daki rejime yönelik İslamcı-dinsel muhalefet üzerine analitik bir tartışma sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Tarihsel analiz yöntemine dayanan çalışma, Mısır’daki dinsel muhalefetin kısmen sübjektif dinsel yorumdan kaynaklandığını, ancak daha ziyade, ekonomik baskı, yaygın yoksulluk, ulusal gelirin adaletsiz dağılımı, devlet baskısı ve İslamcı görüşün politik alanda marjinalleştirilmesi gibi bir takım olumsuz koşullara bir reaksiyon olarak ortaya çıktığı sonucuna ulaşmaktadır. Bu sonuca dayanarak, dinsel muhalefetin kontrol altına alınması bağlamında, söz konusu olumsuz koşullar üzerine yapıcı adımlar atılması gereğine dikkat çekilmektedir.
