Clinton: The U.S. Has Engaged The Muslim Brotherhood

 

The New York Daily News reports:

She (Clinton) revealed Thursday that America will renew its “limited contacts” with the organization, a move that is likely to anger Israel and its supporters who are uncomfortable with the group’s highly conservative version of Islam.

Clinton said during a visit to Budapest that Egypt‘s upcoming parliamentary elections in September have given the U.S. a new impetus to recognize the country’s largest Islamist movement.

The BBC adds:

The Muslim Brotherhood has stressed that the new party it has set up to contest September’s elections will be a civil, not a theocratic, group.

But correspondents say that with its Islamist agenda and historical links to radical groups, the group is feared and mistrusted in the West and to some extent in Egypt.
