i don't i don't really see a big difference between the muslim brotherhood and the softest parties but to get back to i think oren is absolutely right i mean the brotherhood was burned initially in nine hundred forty eight after an assassination attempt. you know there were many brothers who fled egypt and went to saudi arabia and went to kuwait they went to carter and so on so this is not a new thing at all in. fact would you say the muslim brotherhood of forty fifty years ago is the same as the muslim brotherhood today in egypt there's no change they have a new goal of i go ahead founding go ahead the founding principles are exactly the same i mean you know we have charter is actually saying that he supports our czar and he wants ours are to be involved in the islamization of the world and ours are has a role in gaining control of islamization in egypt and of the world and he said this just very recently so it's very interesting. i mean hundred twenty years since we spoke beginning of the arab spring we've seen islamic parties wanting to democratic process to to work for their people

muslim brotherhood of forty fifty years ago it's the same as the muslim brotherhood today in egypt there's no change they haven't evolved and i think we have found a way to head the founding principles are exactly the same i mean you know we have charter is actually saying that he supports our laws are and he wants ours are to be involved in the islamization of the world and ours are has a role in gaining control of islamization in egypt. and of the world and he said this just very recently so if you know there. are certain 1940's we still beginning of the arab spring we've seen islamic parties wanting to democratic process to to work for their people ok to have the same kind of lifestyles and be more rich countries in the world and they want to do it through the ballot box why are they being so demonized and that's why i asked the question i mean the muslim brotherhood has been actually quite quiet since the fall of mubarak and only been getting involved in the political process like everybody else. well you know if the brotherhood is seen as a moderate i don't know who's the one doing th

-turn here the muslim brotherhood had recently said it would not nominate a presidential candidate so while this sudden change of heart. it's difficult to say exactly why they changed their minds when they made the statement a charter himself made the statement in april saying they wouldn't run for presidency it seems to be perhaps a reaction to the fact that there are quite a few candidates running who are x. regime people would call them here so we've got our mission was the prime minister under mubarak and also a recent new report reports almost to the man who is vice president and i'm saying he run for presidency this is unconfirmed but i feel that maybe the brotherhood is feeling pressurised to have a candidate for itself in addition charter himself was in prison for many years and which meant he couldn't run for president and this was recently pardoned by the military which means that he was able to run and he sort of powerful in the midst of brotherhood many people who think that perhaps they're waiting for him to have this pardon and therefore and therefore push him forward wh

the muslim brotherhood, really?s on reproductive rights and women in the workplace? equal pay for equal work? they are letting them in the white house. mitt romney should have a press conference tomorrow to say this proves that the president mr. obama and mr. biden and mr. donnelan and lew, male heavy white house staff doesn't care about the issues of women. i'm kidding but i'm trying to say how ludicrous the war on women is. and this is a tough policy dealing with the situation they deal with. i don't, i think ultimately the failure to deal with syria and iran is what the administration is going to be judged on with the complicated mini west of different groups of egypt. >> bret: susan, many say the muslim brotherhood said they weren't going to put up a presidential candidate. they did. that is the history and dealing with the group. they say one thing and change down the road in the future. what about this? >> there are reason not to trust the muslim brotherhood. also the case in a country with a revolution, we ch

zippered up people for the beck show he was muslim brotherhood because the. election parliamentary elections are promised people to do a lot of thanks but no. they are acting as a disorder of the national democratic party doing mubarak era as you would like to do beneath everything. they would like to limit is the influence of other political forces they would lake actually to inherent this or for that clearly in the structure of made during mubarak era as he would like to prisons of services that overwhelming the majority in egyptian society using the same tactics using the same is that outages use that by mubarak over the last. for the period for four decades and i think that people are quite cautious not to repeat the same regime in different form with different political power this is an issue. just so i can get this straight as you say that the people there they got rid of hosni mubarak the oil of regime as many call it then they vote in the muslim brotherhood they're not pleased with the muslim brotherhood now you're suggesting perhaps they want some so

to have a huge membership from within the muslim brotherhood in from outside the muslim brotherhood. a the% of the party members are from outside the brotherhood. we have a good representation even outside the muslim brotherhood's. we like to support our members. they said this internationally. this involves a lot of intervention. we think international funding has the respect of this. what we want to encourage generally is this. >> they're also making public the campaign funding. >>, will they make public to the egyptians and other their sources of campaign funding? >> the short answer is yes. they have to. i would like to make clear that during mubarak, there is no right to any information. i initiated the discussions. it is being discussed. information has to be public. >> i am a retired federal employee. i like members to explain why with few exceptions christians are persecuted, their churches burned, they're forced to convert to islam. >> you have made your statement. they heard it. >> i want to give them an example. >> this has to do it the egyptian situation. the first part o

and using the muslim brotherhood as a tool of destabilization for national secularist movements and that policy was formulated quite specifically in anime nine hundred seventy nine build a bridge meeting in austria in which dr bernard lewis basically proposed the use of the muslim brotherhood is a type of tool of destabilization in those countries or you look at the across six movement which is another group that's very much at the forefront of these protests on record was in attendance in two thousand and eight in new york at the alliance of youth movement council which was directly funded by the u.s. state department you had u.s. assistant secretary of state michael posner coming out in two thousand and nine and two thousand and eleven admitting that for the previous two years the u.s. state department had been directly funding. countries to apologize for cutting it i mean you do bring in some very very good angles but i just for the moment want to stick to the domestic side of things if i do i do apologize to the muslim brotherhood now dominates both houses of egypt's parliament

the phrase the group refers to the muslim brotherhood in america. the document was written in 1991 by a sundayier hamas leader in the united states. and explains that the islamist movement is what the memo refers to as a, quote, settlement process, unquote, to establish itself in the united states and once established to pursue a, quote, civilization jihadist, unquote, mission led by the muslim brotherhood. what the author described aptly as stealth jihad. shariah is the law of the land within what is referred to as the home or realm of islam. that is not by the way simply in muslim countries. it is anyplace where muslims can and do exercise control. so some neighborhoods in european cities where muslims exercise control, notably in france, and even in sweden, shariah is practiced and enforced in contravention and suppression of local laws. some of those areas have become known as no-go zones. the proposed mosque near ground zero in new york was to be named core bone a to us. the implementation of maria and the plac-- sharishariah. >> shariah itself

was the only vehicle for expressing dissent left, the muslim brotherhood started to do well and mubarak got scared, and in the second part of that parliamentary election, they crashed down with a vengeance. and at that point our effort to get mubarak to preside over a transition ended. it's not that we didn't keep talking about freedom and democracy, that the president didn't keep making the cause with mubarak, but we got, you know, in spades what dennis talked about. you don't understand our people. we tried your experiment, and it blew up in our face. it's a hard business, and, you know, one of the challenges for the obama administration is for those regimes that have not had revolutions. the monarchies which as elliott spoke of, have a legitimacy and are trying in their own way to reform. one of the challenges for the obama administration is to help those regimes actually do a democratic transition before there's a revolution, not after. but i offer the vignette about mubarak. it is very hard. and final postscript. in the last meeting that president bush had with king abdullah of sau

so perhaps you can shed some light on the muslim brotherhood's program in the country, and how do you see the reform process going forward? >> translator: thank you. i would -- with respect to the three experiences that our speakers just shared with us i think there's one comment factor, which is that the arab peoples have suffered from the same problems. these peoples decided alone and without any assistance, not from the west in particular, to stand up and exercise its will. and not to remain on the margins of human civilizations. the arabs decided to be partners for the west in human civilization. the situation in jordan is very similar to what's happening in morocco, but a little unique on its own. and the common factor is that both monarchies do not have blood on their hands, and this is the main common factor and this is why both regimes decided to institute reform. among -- and in jordan in particular there's the problem of corruption, which exceeds the gmp. and jordan has high levels of education, which are very similar to western nations, but we have a budget deficit that exc

warner has our story. >> warner: when protests swelled in cairo's tary square a year ago the muslim brotherhood kept a low profile. before long egypt's oldest islamic movement, banned from politics under president mubarak, joined the young revolutionaries. since then with a military council running egypt, the brotherhood has emerged as a powerful force. it won nearly half the seats in parliament's lower house and another more fundamentalist islamist group won more than 20%. at the outset, the brotherhood pledged not to run a candidate for president saying it wasn't seeking a monopoly on power. but last saturday it did just that. nominating deputy chairman to run. the u.s. reacted cautiously with secretary of state hillary clinton saying sunday we hope that the egyptian people get what they protested for in to rear square. that's complete open pluralistic democracy that respects the rights of every egyptian. the leading moderate in the presidential race voiced hope about egypt's political prospects two weeks ago. >> i believe once the president is elected and the constitution is on the way to be

well as a matter of fact the muslim brotherhood. has lost a lot of its popular grounds in egypt because people do not believe in what they say and now all the pledges were violated they pledge first they're not running for president action now they don't have one can do they have two candidates for any case the second thing they said we will not run for more than thirty percent of the parliamentary seats and they run four hundred percent of the parliamentary seats and they got. more than sixty percent now the the loose the ability in the industry as regards to the seller fees. we still have some scandals as regards to many of the candidates in the parliament in performance in the political performance in the parliament. issues is not satisfactory and talks a lot about big data on the calendar the first of july that handover date will the egypt's military council has promised athol handover to civilian rule there are fears are that it will try to hold on to his influence is that a valid concern do you think. no i don't think. there w

also, a candidate from the muslim brotherhood. he called on his supporters to protest on friday in tahrir square. >> for more on this, we're joined by our correspondent in cairo. kareem, do you get a sense that we have heard this before? >> yes, basically in the last month, especially the muslim brotherhood moved away from tahrir square, a move to the parliament. and they did not return to the streets. in a way, what is happening now, the muslim brotherhood saw that parliament was not taking them very seriously. their main candidate for the presidential election was disqualified. now they are returning back to the streets. what is happening is really some kind of finding a new consensus between the muslim brotherhood and also the liberal groups up at the square. >> you describe what the situation is for the last couple of months. it begs the question -- how likely is it been made a vote is going to be free and fair? -- how likely is it that the may vote is going to be free and fair? >> it is the powers of the political landscape.

the muslim brotherhood is on a good will tour in washington.ber of egypt's new parliament is the senior member of the delegation. >> the specific goal is to build the bridges of understanding between the two democracy and the egyptian democracy. >> hosni mubarak ruled egypt the group was banned. they provide social services like schools, but it also supports fundamentalist islamic teachings and has, at types, supported violence. here's how robert muller described them as they were in the throws of the revolution. the muslim brotherhood here and overseas have supported terrorism. >> right. >> to the extent that i can provide more information, i would be happy to do so in closed session. >> representatives of the muslim brotherhood met this week with bill burns, a deputy to secretary of state hillary clinton and white house officials including steve simon, a high-level national security adviser to president obama. amid concerns by some the brother hood will turn egypt into a fundamentalist islamic state, the white house defended the outreach. >>

the muslim brotherhood. and then if we have men back. who are supporting some men you have a lot of people in egypt this in. islamist. as you know we always concentrate on feeling personal liberty is alarming women alarming alarming to religious minorities in egypt. some of the strong who would stand against the islamists and. right still the islamists have a lot of support we of course will continue to keep our eye on what's happening in egypt ahead of next month's press. that's although dr side said their political sociologist from the american university in cairo thanks for that. but with the french just a week away from choosing their next president two main rivals are rushing to secure a last minute support as they hold rallies in paris socialist candidate france what's around is ahead in the polls and president sarkozy has joined the charge for the right to sway voters as artists are soviet reports it's growing immigration and fear of terrorism but many french politicians are banking on anti immigration anti euro anti globalization

what is the muslim brotherhood's presence on the street today? >> i think certainly a big demonstration, but not the biggest, i have to say. you can actually move, which sometimes you couldn't in previous demonstrations by the brotherhood or the other various opposition forces. they're coming out to protest against the candidacy of omar suleiman, the former intelligence chief, but also to lay down a marker to say, look, if he gets elected, if there's any suspicion of fraud in the he electric, this is just a foretaste of what you will see from what is still the most organized political force in egypt. but we can see, even here today, some signs of the confused state of politics, that two or three very serious islamist candidates, the muslim brotherhood got one candidate, but they're candidates. so they're divided at the pro regime forces are divided, so, frankly, who is going to not only win the presidency, but who's going to get to the runup. at the moment, it's anybody's guess. it's a very confused state of politics, but we're certainly seeing an

i'm really han norred to be a student of the muslim brotherhood. what i tell you today is what i learn from the islam brotherhood. i am a product of the movement. i am not telling you something that i don't -- that is the platform i ran for election for. that is what we study in our educational materials. this is our understanding. but it's very important two issues that you mentioned. you see we're still moving -- we're trying to move from being an opposition, a jailed opposition into people in power. so when you are in jail you have a jail mentality. when you are out there, you have a difference mentality. why should we have a guardian council? why don't we have a court that can decide for these matters. the two important matters you raised are sharia and jihad. i strongly encourage a dialogue around this because very important. i would like to encourage the muslims among you is to engage in a dialogue with nonmuslim friends within the american society that we can come to understand the sharia. sharia is the word that is not even in english becau

the phrase the group apparently refers to the muslim brotherhood in america. the document was written in 1991, when a senior hamas leader in the united states explained that the islamist movement is a settlement process. so per sue a, quote, civilization jihadist mission led by the muslim brotherhood. but the author robert spence sir as -- the document itself describes what it calls a civilization jihadist process as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by the their and, therefore it is sharia is the law of the land in what is referred to us as a home or realm of islam. and so some neighborhoods in european cities where muslims exercise control, notably in france, somewhat in england and somewhat in sweden, sharia is practiced and enforced in -- with the results that some of those neighborhoods have become no go zones. and spain is regularly referred to as a place to be reclaimed. interestingly, the proposed mosque near ground zero in new york was to be named cordoba house.

their leading muslim brotherhood candidates for presidency the feeling for presidency because the military council refused that the majority in parliament for a new government headed by sort of shopping so they wanted to protect their interest in and get a grip over the country's government so this did not materialize and that's why the actually feel that that they had no intention to the presidency and of course they want to protect their interests now and then and this this this monopoly here's where i was going to say and i was the politics play out there in the big question is when is it actually going to happen egypt's military canceled promised full over to civilian rule point there are fears it will try to hold on to its influence how much of a valid concern is the military will still be in power six months and. or is so true we have to understand there's a deep militarized state here for over sixty years the military has been grueling this country anyone from. heads the governors the mayors all retired military terms the heads of most of the government institutions. all military re

so people who go and give money for hamas and hezbollah and muslim brother, -- brotherhood, all these people are doing jihad in their own way. what the west needs to understand is that jihad doctrine of invading non-muslim countries challenges the sovereignty of non-muslim countries. it is a law that forces itself not only on the people, but on the muslim head of state, on the constitution of every muslim country that he has to do jihad against nonmuslim countries. never treat them as equals. never befriend the west. is it any wonder why most muslim leaders don't want to show the friendship to the west? they don't. they're immediately called puppets of the west. and that's the worst insult you would call a muslim head of state. and this is repeated thoroughly. muslims scriptures. it is not one commandment. it's hundreds of commandments to the muslim heads of state. here's another one. the -- [inaudible] makes war upon jews, christians and pagans until they become muslims or else pay the non-muslim tax while being belittled. so the commandment is not just to force them to become muslim

do we have a reason to be concerned, or would we see a more pragmatic muslim brotherhood in that case? thank you. >> let's start with dr. nabil. please. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: start with hanan's question. as muslims, we believe that religious or ethnic diversity is a source of enrichment for society, and perhaps it's one of the most distinctive characteristics of american society. we believe that the problem or the jordanian/palestinian problem in jordan is just an illusion to hinder the reform process, and it's not a real problem. the islamic movement is the biggest component socially and political that strikes a balance between the palestinians and jordanians in jordan. and perhaps most other political parties are kind of polarized towards one particular group. there are parties, there's a jordanian majority or palestinian majority. we believe that this is a very important, distinctive characteristic of the islamic movement, and it usually fielded, for example, in areas that are predominantly jordanian. it fielded candidates who are of palestinian origin, and i b

people who go to war for hezbollah and muslim brotherhood, they are doing jihad in their own way. t the west needs to understand is that jihad -- the jihad doctrine of invading muslim countries, challenges the sovereignty of non-muslim countries. it is a law that forces itself not only on the people, but on the muslim head of state, on the constitution of every muslim country. he has to do jihad against every muslim country. never treat people equal, never defend the west. do you ever wonder why muslim leaders don't want to show friendships to the west? they don't. that is the worst [inaudible] of the muslim head of state. it repeats thoroughly and muslim scriptures. it is hundreds of commandments to the muslim head of state. so the commandment is not just the first one, to become muslim, but they are to retain their religion and they must be belittled and mistreated. does that tell you how people in egypt are living? the commandment is to little women and give them less right. the leader of a region -- his duty includes [inaudible] new land and he will undertake jihad against enem
