Former Egyptian MB Member Tharwat Al-Kharbawi: The MB Is a Fascist Group that Wants to Take Over Egypt

Following are excerpts from an interview with expelled Muslim Brotherhood leader Tharwat Al-Kharbawi, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on January 18, 2013.

Interviewer: What is the plan of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Tharwat Al-Kharbawi: They strive for the victory of their people and their ideas, and to achieve total control of Egypt's affairs. They wish to place Egypt under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood. They want to run the country according to their ideology and their path, in order to achieve what they want.

As I've said, the Muslim Brotherhood views the country as a means to an end. Therefore, I did not find it at all strange to hear the former Muslim Brotherhood general guide saying: "To hell with Egypt."

I was not at all surprised when people like President Mohamed Morsi, for example, talked, during the presidential elections, about the need to conquer Egypt. Egypt was conquered in the days of Amr Ibn Al-Aas. Several months ago, President Morsi stood in El Mahalla Stadium, and spoke about what he hoped to achieve for Egypt. He said that we are now on the verge of conquering Egypt. The conquest of Egypt?! That means introducing Islam into the country.

It is as if we were living in the days of Amr Ibn Al-Aas, or rather, in the days of "Mohamed Ibn Morsi." It is as if Islam were just being introduced into Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood. It is as if up till now, we were circling the pyramids and worshipping the Sphinx. These were strange ideas.

They want these notions and views to spread in Egypt, by positioning their people in the administration. They want to subjugate Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In the texts of the Muslim Brotherhood, they talk about ruling the world. When I looked into this issue, I asked myself whether they really want Islam to rule the world. The truth is that God did not intend this.

Since the Muslim Brotherhood, by their own admission, is a Fascist group, they do not let members see what goes on in the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.
