Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists agree: sharia must be implemented

"...his party (FJP) differs with the Salafi-oriented Nour Party over the way Islamic Sharia should be applied. “But we both agree in principle that it should be applied."


Don't expect the "sharia-lite" version, either.




From Almasry Alyoum January 16 by Mohamed Abdel Kadir and Hossam Sadaqa


We won’t be another NDP, say Muslim Brothers


Mohamed Gheith, MP for the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, on Sunday said his party would not act like the disbanded National Democratic Party (NDP). “We do not intend to dominate parliament,” he said. “All committees will be headed according to a consensus.”


He added that his party would only form a coalition in parliament that is best for the country. “We know that we are watched by our voters, and we cannot let them down,” he said.


He said his party differs with the Salafi-oriented Nour Party over the way Islamic Sharia should be applied. “But we both agree in principle that it should be applied,” he noted, adding that the Salafis have no political expertise.


Party MP Abdel Rahman Saeed said the party would suggest a draft law to allow Sinai Bedouins to own land in Sinai and sell it to foreigners. “But not to Israelis disguised as Arab investors,” he said.
