The manifesto of the "Muslim Brotherhood" reads the first line: "Jihad is the path to peace, and all injustice must be eliminated"
What this means is that anyone who is not a Muslim must convert or die.
What would an Egypt of the Muslim Brotherhood, and it means for Israel?
The Israeli government's fears of a government in Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood means "not only a stronger strength of Islamists in Gaza but also in the West Bank, now run by the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority and in Jordan, that is, Israel would feel surrounded in a way that has not had in decades, "writes Ethan Bronner in the New York Times . According to Bronner, the Muslim Brotherhood, which has ties to Hamas, is the "best organized political force in Egypt. " If you take over the country, the group could expect to turn the long-standing alliance with Israel from Egypt becomes in a hostile relationship "is very likely to cancel from the moment they take possession of any conversation with Israel on peace talks with the Palestinians."
The Brotherhood being open about their democratic aspirations?
In The Daily Beast, Leslie Gelb warns against believing the claim of the Muslim Brotherhood in they claim to be "Islamic democrats" and if the group has the power "would be disastrous for U.S. security."
explains why: the Muslim Brotherhood supports Hamas and other terrorist groups, love making friendly gestures toward the Iranian dictators and torturers. With the Muslim Brotherhood would be uncertain the fate of the Suez Canal. The Brotherhood opposes the agreement between Egypt and Israel in 1979, widely regarded as the foundation of peace in the Middle East. Above all, the Muslim Brotherhood could jeopardize efforts to combat terrorism in the region and around the world. It's very important. It would be unrealistic to take the democracy protests of the Muslim Brotherhood at face value. The real danger is that our experts, scholars and teachers to talk about the Arab world and America live in the belief that everyone can trust the Muslim Brotherhood. And that is dangerous because, regardless of the government, the Muslim Brotherhood is the only organized political force, the only group capable of taking power. And if they take control, will be almost impossible for people to drive. Just look at Iran.
"The Muslim Brotherhood to become the Egyptian version of the Ayatollah Khomeini? Haaretz.com reports that the Brotherhood Muslim is working with Mohamed ElBaradei, to form a national unity government, with the exception of the National Democratic Party of President Mubarak. For some, like Don Surber, this is evidence that the results of the ongoing uprising in Egypt will look like the Iranian revolution of 1979. In his blog, Surber writes that if he were President Obama, should bring home to all ambassadors now.
"Revolutions are dangerous, and the post-revolutionary period is often autocratic," he writes.
"Pray for Egypt."
Many of those who fear that the revolution in Egypt's out like Iran, imagine Brothers Muslims as a postrevolutionary authoritarian regime and not wrong. In The American Spectator, Hal GP Colebatch suggests that "in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood is watching and waiting to seize their chance."

The danger for Israel
My Approach # 353, February 3, 2011, by David Mandel, www.mandeldavid.com
saw on television a scene does not augur a future of peace and quiet to Israel, during a massive demonstration in Cairo, Mubarak representing dolls were hung from traffic lights. Their faces were daubed the Star of David, which the crowd expressed its conviction that major crimes Mubarak was to be a "friend of Israel", a country where most the Egyptians, despite the peace agreement signed last three decades, continues to hate death and considering his worst enemy.
A senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Ghannem, told Iranian television network: "The Egyptian people should prepare for a war against Israel."
The Egyptian army, trained and equipped by the United States has about 650,000 soldiers in 60 combat brigades, 3,500 tanks and 600 warplanes. If the new regime includes the Muslim Brotherhood, or sympathize with the organization, Israel should increase the number of soldiers in his army and use the national budget huge sums to defend the country, instead of spending that money to social and economic purposes. A regimen that includes the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas's sister organization), support and assist the terrorist organization in its war against Israel. Mubarak
always cooperated with Israel, the United States and the Palestinian Authority in the search for peace, contributing to stability and peace in the region. Despite being the most loyal Arab ally of the United States, the speed with which it left Obama is even greater than that of Carter when he abandoned the Shah. Obama's reaction (which obviously has not learned the lesson of what happened in Iran), disappointed and worried all the U.S. allies have in the region, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. a hostile regime in Egypt affect the possibility that Israel reached an agreement with the Palestinians in the foreseeable future, and that the security of Israel, in a situation of great danger, (the enemy regime in Egypt, terrorist regime in Gaza government dominated by Hizballah in Lebanon, Iran nuclear threat) will be less willing to make additional concessions and take risks.
