"...The Muslim Brotherhood ran the conference in Antalia and the statement that spoke about the "civil state" is not going to fool me because US representatives in Antalia (yes they were there) pressed for an inclusive statement. This is exactly what US tried to do in conferences by Iraqi exile opposition before the Ayatullah Sistani republic was set up in Iraq. One should not make his/her opposition to a particular regime (Arab or Iranian) a blanket endorsement for the dominant opposition movement. Instead, we should be criticizing those opposition movements that try to hijack a popular uprising. The branches of the Muslim Brotherhood are all bad: but the Syrian branch is one of the worst, by far. It is the most opportunist of them all."

"Two friends have given feedback on the second day of the Syrian Opposition meeting in Antalya.
Both were impressed by the constructive nature of the second day. George Washington was not born, they conceded, but hard decisions were made.
The Muslim Brothers and Islamists were under intense pressure to accept the notion of a secular government where religion and state would be separate. They resisted this most of the day but ultimately conceded at the eleventh hour. We do not have the statement or wording on this “secular” statement. But the MB accepted to not contest the separation of state and religion in the conference statement."
