No need to be afraid of us

The Muslim Brotherhood believes that democratic reforms could trigger a
renaissance in Egypt

The violence that has erupted across Egypt in recent days is the result
of government panic at the success of the Muslim Brotherhood - even in
the rigged polls that pass for elections in the Arab world's most
populous country. As the second round of voting opened on Sunday in
Egypt's tightly restricted parliamentary contest, around 500 of our
members were arrested at dawn and machete-wielding thugs attacked our
supporters at polling stations. But the provocations of a corrupt,
oppressive government - backed by the most powerful countries in the
world - will not intimidate either our organisation, which has survived
for 77 years, or the Egyptian people, who have increasingly come to
trust us.
