La nuova guida suprema dei Fratelli Musulmani egiziani, Mohamed Badie, fa la sua prima uscita pubblica con una intervista alla Reuters. Badie, considerato un conservatore dentro l’Ikhwan, descrive la Fratellanza come l’espressione dell’islam moderato.
“The Muslim Brotherhood, which carries the banner of moderate Islam, must be given the chance to teach Egyptian society to benefit the nation and its people,” Badie, picked as the group’s new leader this month, said in an interview.
“When we were prevented from playing the role of spreading moderate Islam, thorns sprouted in Egypt’s soil and so did terrorism,” he said, adding he rejected “deviant and ‘takfiri’ ideology”, referring to groups that declared people infidels.
