1. He HAS to say that, since they'll have a voice in his new government.

Elsewhere on DU, I had likened them to Teabaggers, but MURDEROUSLY so, and without a single chicken-hawk! It'll be BAD news if they become too powerful in the new Egypt!

The “Muslim Brotherhood” is a non factor. Their only purpose is to keep parts of the Saudi family happy and to create an false opposition against those already in power. Every voice from the people in Egypt has already rejected any involvement of the Brotherhood. Anyone who says differently is either filling air time or has connections to military contractors.



Candy said "There is either the Muslim Brotherhood or the Army, which is worse?" I actually laughed and several people in the waiting room gave me an odd look - they didn't know what I was laughing at.

5. He shakes his head no when he says that the Muslim Brotherhood

will allow a secular state and will not be extreme. He shakes his head yes when he says that the Muslim Brotherhood is credible. I don't trust him. I don't think he is saying what he really believes.

6. I think you're reading his body language backwards.

Sure they're a threat to a secular democracy, but they're not inevitable, either.
