I agree with the MB on this one.

I certainly agree that the UN should mind its own business.

The vast majority of Egyptians are socially conservative. They are not like the Cairo University students the media tried to tell us would take over if Mubarak fell. The Egyptian people elected the Muslim Brotherhood, the second most popular party is even more religiously radical. Much of what the Islamic Brotherhood believes is backwards and they are certainly no friend of ours, but they are right to oppose these busy bodies at the UN trying to impose a secular left agenda on people who want nothing to do with it.

"but they are right to oppose these busy bodies at the UN trying to impose a secular left agenda on people who want nothing to do with it. "

I'd hardly call an "anti-violence against women" campaign a "secular left agenda". It may well be part of a larger UN agenda that is leftist. But I think anything that helps muslims to recognize basic human rights is a good thing.
