Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Now Plans Big Political Role
This is not a good development! But, it wasn’t like people Sean Hannity didn’t see this coming. Look for Egyptian women to be treated like 2nd class citizens, but worse than that, Israel’s security is in grave danger.
This was never a Democratic uprising, but rather an Islamofacist takeover pure and simple.
The Blaze reports the once outlawed Muslim Brotherhood says it 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 elections will be the first since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak by a popular uprising in February.

At a news conference Saturday, the Brotherhood named the leaders of its new Freedom and Justice party.
The party will test to what extent the Brotherhood is willing to moderate its rigid religious discourse to try to win broader political support.
