Obama is working to ensure that Egypt’s future is as an Islamofascist state…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday that Egypt is not going to go back to the way it was before pro-democracy protests roiled the country, and played down prospects that the Muslim Brotherhood would take a major role in a new government.
“I think that the Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt,” Obama said. “They don’t have majority support.”
The president said it it’s important “not to say that our only two options are the Muslim Brotherhood, or to suppress the Egyptian people.”
Even so, Obama said the Brotherhood, a banned political and religious group in Egypt, is well-organized and “there are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S.”
Still, he said he had confidence that a representative government the U.S. could work with would emerge “if Egypt moves in an orderly transition process.”
