Muslim Brotherhood said they wouldn’t run
Just to give some context, back in February, the Muslim Brotherhood said they would not field candidates. Yes, that would be the Muslim Brotherhood that just got recognized as a political party in Egypt.
And yet El-Erian and his cohorts claim that they are all honorable men. With no political ambition. Really.
With all that is occurring in Egypt, and the rest of the Middle East lately, grave concern has been expressed about the ascension to power of a group of individuals who call themselves the Muslim
Brotherhood. The thoughts of a rise to power of
any theocracy in mostly secular Egypt has brought commentary from not only American politicians, but also the full range of talk radio hosts and news shows.
Egypt and Israel have come to terms of peace within these past few decades, and were the Muslim Brotherhood to come into power in any country, the results could be catastrophic. Whether that country is Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, or any other nation, world peace rides in the balance.
According to a video from cnn.com, Essam El-Erian states the Muslim Brotherhood has no intentions of running for office in the nation of Egypt during their elections. For myself though, the question arises: Is he being truthful?
