The Brotherhood of Islam in Egypt

Now we see the flexing of the Muslim Brotherhood muscle.  Even as they say they do not want to interfere in the "revolution" it is clear they want the influence to determine the outcome.  They say one thing and do another.  Not unusual for as Muhammad said, "War is deceit."

The MB is heavily invested in the outcome, they will not rest until their power is consolidated, and Islam becomes the dominate force in Egypt.

There may be some power-sharing between the MB, Iran and Hamas, but as the MB has been a thorn in the Egyptian government since the 1930s it is unlikely they would take a back seat to this Islamic passion play.

EGYPT: MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, NO TO NEW GOVERNMENT

ROME - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has given its thumbs down to the new Egyptian government and has called on people to continue demonstrating until the present regime falls. In a communique', the strongest opposition movement against President Hosni Mubarak speaks of a ''total refusal'' of the new administration, which ''does not respect the will of the people''.

''We call on Egyptians to carry on participating in the great demonstrations across Egypt until the whole of the regime - President, party, ministers and Parliament - is no longer in power''.
