Muslim Brotherhood Demands Appearance Before US Congress

From Ikhanweb via Will at The Other News:
Dr. Mohamed Morsy, media spokesman and member of the Executive Bureau of the Muslim Brotherhood(MB) demanded that US Congress hold a special session to hear directly from the MB about their programs as Congress held a session recently with the MB.

Dr. Morsy stated on Al Jazeera Satellite Channel that US fears of the MB are unfounded. He rejected the intervention of the US in Middle Eastern affairs and accused it of seeking to dominate the region for the exploitation of its raw materials, especially oil, and to make the Arab markets promote its products, especially since the real development of Egypt is definitely against American interests.

Dr. Gamal Abdel Gawad, an expert on international relations at Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, ruled out the possibility that Egypt will be similar to the Iranian model of governance, saying: “Egypt is like Turkey in terms of its relations with the US and the Zionist entity.”

We certainly don't need this dark ages rabble stinking up the capitol more than it already has been.

Intervention? We should start by withdrawing our money from Egypt.

Pastorius,

Its unfortunate that a lot of ignorant people will probably end up believing this guy. Yet anyone who has the guts to turn him down maybe wrongfully be labeled a bigot. Yet this guy's organization, is hardly one that supports tolerance for other points of view.
