(ABC News)– Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman met with representatives from Egypt’s opposition groups, including the banned Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s largest party.

Egypt state television is reporting that Suleiman is offering the groups concessions, including freedom of the press, term limits to the presidency and the end of the country’s emergency law.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed in Egypt in 1954, did not send high-level leaders to the meetings, but said they agreed to go to test the government’s intentions: to see if it is serious about reforms or if this is just an act.

After the meeting, I spoke with Dr. Khalil el-Gazar of the Muslim Brotherhood high council.

…Responding to U.S. fears of the Muslim Brotherhood, el-Gazar said, “We have good feelings towards the Western countries, but Islamophobia spread all over the Western countries,” he said. “We are astonished. Why?”

In my exclusive interview with President Hosni Mubarak earlier this week, he blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the violence in Tahrir Square during the protests.

El-Gazar countered that claim, saying that the Muslim Brotherhood are not fundamentalists, are not seeking a religious revolution and are not seeking the presidency themselves.
