Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned Thursday that the Muslim Brotherhood is a serious threat to his country.
In an interview with the Egyptian weekly al-Osboa, Mubarak warned against the establishment of a religious Islamic state in Egypt, and against the ascendance of the Muslim Brotherhood to power. The president added that if they Muslim Brotherhood come to power, the world will likely isolate them, just as they have done with Hamas in the Palestinian Authority.
Mubarak added, “In such a situation, many will take their money and leave the country. Investments will stop. Unemployment will grow, and Egypt will be isolated from the world.”
According to him, “There are varied, and even opposing, opinions about a secular country or a religious country in Egypt. I can say that the Muslim Brotherhood is a danger to the security of Egypt because it is walking in a religious path… We support a secular country in which citizens can enjoy civil rights.”
