Egypt opposition leader Elbaradei: Muslim Brotherhood threat is a myth pushed by dictatorial regime

Really? Are we supposed to believe him? Is he simply unconscious or is it bad faith? Or is it another fine example of Taqiyya, a deliberate lie in order to deceive opponents? To present the Muslim Brotherhood as benevolent nostalgic hippies who pose no threat to Egypt is outrageous. Certainly this guy is not an idiot, he knows history like we do. And to portray Moubarak as somebody who persecuted the Muslim Brotherhood without tangible reasons is also a fallacy. The original Muslim Brothers and their founder, Hassan Al-Banna, were nuts. The Egyptian Secret Service, if I recall correctly, had to have them executed after WWII. We are not talking about nice fellows here. Egypt is in danger and so is the entire Muslim World.
