It's Official: Muslim Brotherhood Leader Says Will End Peace Treaty With Israel

Barry Rubin is reporting the following:

Over and over again we have been told that the Muslim Brotherhood is weak, moderate, and is not calling for ending the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. But now Rashad al-Bayoumi,  deputy leader of the Brotherhood said in an interview on Japan's NHTV:

"After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel," 

I think we will gradually see how all the other things the journalists and "experts" have told us about the Brotherhood will also be proven wrong.

 Of course if you have been reading Barry Rubin's blog recently, this information about the Muslim Brotherhood comes as no surprise.

On the other hand, if you read about them from a bunch of 30 year old liberals who never even heard about the Muslim Brotherhood until about a week a go (i.e. mainstream journalists), it may be a surprise.

If the Brothers take over, things are going to be very very very bad in the Middle East.
