KSM Not Brotherhood, Says Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to remake its image as fine upstanding representatives of the "Religion of Peace." From Ikwan.com (hat tip: GMBDR):
In a confusing account of Al Qaeda mastermind Khaled Sheikh Mohamed’s “terrorist history”, the Financial Times has most strangely stated that Mohamed “claims” to have joined the Muslim Brotherhood at an early age and then was “radicalized at youth camps.”
We, as the editorial board of the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website, felt deeply disappointed at such a fatal mistake by an internationally respected newspaper. It is difficult for us to comprehend the justification for citing this error in an article about Al Qaeda leader who belongs to a violent extremist organization that is at organizational and intellectual odds with the Muslim Brotherhood.
We reaffirm that Khaled Sheikh Mohamed was never affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood at any stage of his life, and that the Muslim Brotherhood has always had a moderating, not a radicalizing influence.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a socio-political non-violent organization devoted to peaceful gradual reform, and is the complete opposite of Al Qaeda in its interpretation of Islam and its attitude to violence...
