This preoccupation with the Middle East is at the heart of young Muslims’ politics in British universities, mosques, and websites. Although most do not support Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, or the al-Saud family, they see hypocrisy in Western criticism of these leaders that is designed to manipulate and marginalize – after all, the West does not really want to push these regimes too far.
这种对中东问题的专注是英国大学、清真寺以及网站中年轻穆斯林政治的核心。尽管大部分人并不支持巴基斯坦的穆沙拉夫、埃及的穆巴拉克或者沙特家族,但是他们把西方对这些领导人的批评视为伪善，其目的在于操纵和边缘化。毕竟，西方并不真的想要把这些政权逼得太甚。
