Mubarak says Brotherhood is threat to security

Music to my ears:

CAIRO (Reuters) - President Hosni Mubarak said the Muslim Brotherhood poses a threat to Egypt's security because the country would face isolation in the world if the Islamist movement became more powerful.

In an interview released on Thursday, he said people would leave Egypt with their money, investment would stop and unemployment rise if the Brotherhood -- the country's strongest opposition group -- gained in influence.

So what is he doing about it? Crackdown crackdown:

The authorities are carrying out one of their regular crackdowns on the Brotherhood, which the government refuses to recognize despite its electoral successes.

About damn time I say. God knows they left them long enough to infiltrate into most of ordinary Egyptian lives through universities, unions and finally parliament.
They use their unlimited finances to attract people by offering them help in the sort of money, medical treatment and educational services, so I always say the first thing should be done is to probe who is financing the MBs.
Anyone else smell oil money?
