MB will even deal with devil for power: Gomaa

CAIRO – 14 March 2018: Egypt’s former Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said that the banned Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is the most malicious group in history and that it will do anything and everything to come to power.

In his program on CBC on Tuesday, Gomaa said that the MB is based on principles of Zionism, communism, freemasonry and other similar ideologies. He also affirmed that the MB is the root of all extreme groups.

Gomaa said that the MB distorted the image of Egypt’s al-Azhar and will also do anything in order to come to power. They would even deal with the devil to reach their goals, he added.

Since the ouster of MB-affiliated President Mohamed Morsi on July 3, 2013, Egypt has designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group for their violent acts and their attempts to incite chaos across the country.

Most of the group’s members and leaders, who are either in prisons or have fled the country, were added to the terror list.
