Goodbye, Hosni. Hello, Hamas
(National Post-Canada) George Jonas - Rashad al-Bayoumi, deputy head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, told the German news magazine Spiegel Online: "the Muslim Brotherhood has not called for violence and we will not do that." He was easy to believe. Why should the Muslim Brotherhood preach violence when diplomats and politicians, beginning with Mohamed ElBaradei, were tripping over each other in their eagerness to have theocrats sit at the table and participate in governing Egypt? In an interview with the German journalist Erich Follath, ElBaradei said, "The Israelis need to grasp that it's impossible to make peace with a single man. At the moment, they have a peace treaty with Mubarak, but not one with the Egyptian people."
