Report: Muslim Brotherhood Wants Egyptians to 'Prepare for War With Israel

Just two days after Mohamed ElBaradei declared that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was not an extremist organization and that any comparisons to extremist groups are "totally bogus," reports are surfacing that high ranking members of this peaceful group are wishing that the citizens of Egypt would prepare for war with Israel.

"A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel, according to the Hebrew-language business newspaper Calcalist."

The report added;

Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
