Abdel-Jalil el-Sharnoubi, 38, talks about how dangerous this can be. Last October, after he had spoken about quitting the Brotherhood to Egyptian newspapers and in TV appearances, masked men opened fire on Sharnoubi\u2019s car with submachine guns\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Sharnoubi assumes that cordial moves like the letter to Peres have only one goal: \u201cTo secure and expand the dominance of the Brotherhood.\u201d Only recently, the president issued a decree that gave him absolute powers, and Morsi currently controls all three branches of government. \u201cHe has secured more power than his predecessor Mubarak ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharnoubi\u2019s vision of a future Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood is horrifying. \u201cThey will infiltrate all areas of our society: government offices and ministries, schools and universities, as well as the police and the military. They will eliminate their enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t he exaggerating?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot in the least,\u201d says Sharnoubi, noting that the Brotherhood is already infiltrating the security apparatus. \u201cThe Brotherhood will never give up its power without a fight.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not exactly surprising.
