This essay offers an ideological analysis of the rhetoric of theIslamistEgyptian MuslimBrotherhood (MB) in its officialEnglish-language Web site,Ikhwanweb, between 2005 and 2010 - years preceding theEgyptian uprising ofJanuary 2011. The purpose was to examine the ideology manifest in the rhetoric and uncover the instrumental function the rhetoric served. Analysis brought forth a post-Islamist ideology manifest through a rhetoric of dialectics. The instrumental function of theEgyptianMB's rhetoric in Ikhwanweb was to alterWestern societies' monolithic understanding ofIslamism - radical, undemocratic, inflexible. The cyber-rhetoric was also used as a means to disapprove certainWestern agents' support for authoritarian regimes. DuringMubarak's rule,Ikhwanweb was used as a communicative medium to demonstrate to theWest theEgyptianMB's need to be valued - respected regardless of ideological differences, understood rather than essentialized, stereotyped, and prejudged, and supported as a pragmatic, political entity withinEgypt
