Kuwait’s Islamic Constitutional Movement Responds to "Pushing toward Party Politics" Carnegie Paper

It was with great interest and the utmost appreciation that I read the paper entitled “Pushing towards Party Politics? Kuwait’s Islamic Constitutional Movement” by Carnegie Endowment senior associate Nathan Brown, translated into Arabic on Carnegie’s website, and which included an objective study of the Islamic Constitutional Movement (ICM) and its influence on Kuwaiti politics. I was granted the valuable opportunity to meet Nathan Brown last March when he visited Kuwait, and we exchanged some views and ideas on his forthcoming study and issues concerning reformist, particularly Islamic, currents in the region. To support the outstanding effort exerted by Nathan Brown in preparing the study and express my agreement with him on several aspects, I am glad to offer a number of observations which may represent an addition to the study, including my views and amendments on a number of points in which I might disagree with the scholar, with my sincere appreciation for his work.
