Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood eyes big political role
4.30.11

CAIRO (AP) — The once outlawed Muslim Brotherhood said Saturday its new political party will contest half of the seats in Egypt's parliamentary elections in September, revealing plans to become a major force in the country's post-revolution politics. The new party will test to what extent the Brotherhood is willing to moderate its rigid religious discourse to try to win broader political support.

It is well positioned to win big in September's elections. Having survived years of attempts by Mubarak's regime to suppress it, the Brotherhood is the best organized political force in the country now that the ex-president's ruling party has been disbanded. Brotherhood leaders told Saturday's news conference at the group's new headquarters that the political party will be separate and independent from the religious group. Source: Associated Press

Hezbollah running Lebanon and the MB ruling in Egypt. Not good.
