That’s your idea of the “larger point,” not mine. (By the way, many
hyper-Orthodox Jews have an odious social philosophy and are intense
Zionists, and yet embrace science and technology too. I wouldn’t rush
to make any political alliances with them.) My “larger point” is that
it’s not enough that people take an anti-imperialist stance, if they
hold women to be inferior beings and want to establish a theocratic
empire - positions that the Muslim Brotherhood seems to support. I
can see how you might want to change the subject, though.
