During his interview with the Arabic satellite channel Al-Arabia Tuesday evening, the Muslim Brotherhood leader Dr. Mohamed Badie highlighted that a decision regarding participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections will be determined in the very near future after reviewing the opinions of all national political opposition powers in Egypt
Badie claimed that the current MB's priorities are in finding and providing guarantees that allow Egyptian citizens to choose who they want as leader in an atmosphere of freedom and democracy
He underscored the group's stance regarding the nomination of women and Copts for president highlighting that it was a decision made after referring to trusted Muslim Scholars who relied on the Sharia Islamic law for decisions. He pointed out that the Muslim Brotherhood has always peacefully called for a civil state based on Islamic values approved by the Egyptian constitution, which provides that the Islamic Sharia is the foremost source of the legislation, pointing out that Islam advocated equality for all regardless of race, religion and creed. He asserted that there is no division between religion and state and both were integrated on a similar platform
Regarding being described as a political leader Badie denied that he viewed himself as such preferring to describe himself as at the service of the Muslim Brotherhood open to ideas stressing that the group's mechanism relied foremost on consultation and unity in decision regardless of personal opinions or advantages in the case of consensus
Badie concluded his interview thanking both the Saudi Arabian and Egyptian authorities who facilitated his travels during the performance of his Omra religious ritual to Mecca, with family He expressed hope that it would be the beginning of an era which would promote civil interaction with all political opposition which would end injustices imposed on innocent men such as the MB deputy Engineer Khairat Al-Shater and his companions who were denied release despite serving half their sentences and are currently serving a harsh prison sentence issued by a military tribunal despite numerous acquittals by a civil court |
