Muslim Brotherhood: Egypt Opposition Provides Political Cover, Support for Violence

Failing to even speak out against violence and thuggery in supposedly peaceful opposition protests is not entirely surprising, as supporters of NSF parties always accompany Rebel members on violent ‘missions’.

Dr. Ahmed Aref, Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman, expressed deep concern, regretting the failure of certain Egyptian opposition parties and movements to condemn violence and vandalism.

"Currently, the ranks of the opposition include ‘cartoon’ political parties, founded by the regime even before the revolution, and some individuals who have benefited from spreading lies and rumors on various talk-shows in satellite TV channels.

"The opposition has become a camp for thugs and criminals, providing them with support and flimsy political cover enabling them to commit acts of violence and sabotage, terrorizing citizens in the name of the revolution and its objectives. Evidently, this opposition has totally forgotten that the strength of the revolution was in its peaceful in nature."
