Damascus, (SANA) - President Bashar al-Assad has said that what
is happening in Egypt is the fall of so-called "political Islam",
adding that those who use religion for political interests or for
the interests of one group will fall anywhere in the world.
In an interview given to al-Thawra newspaper, President al-Assad said,
"You cannot deceive everyone all the time, particularly the Egyptian
people who have a civilization dating back to thousands of years and
clear pan-Arab nationalist thought."
The President added that after a year the image has become clear for
the Egyptian people and the performance of the Muslim Brotherhood
helped them uncover the lies made by the Brotherhood in the beginning
of the popular revolution in Egypt."
President al-Assad said the experiment of the Muslim Brotherhood's
rule failed even before it started because this kind of rule is
not consistent with the nature of the people and the project of the
brotherhood is hypocritical that actually aims at creating sedition
in the Arab world.
The President stressed that sedition cannot last in societies that
possess knowledge, adding "this is why from the beginning I said
their project is a failure before it began and this is what made the
Muslim Brotherhood's experiment fall quickly because it is wrong,
and what is built on a wrong principle will definitely fall."
