World press on Egypt and Muslim Brotherhood (August 19, 2013)

"Muslim Brotherhood must be removed like Nazis, Egypt's ambassador to Britain says" is a report of a conversation with the Egypt's ambassador to Britain published in the British Telegraph today. 

"Egypt's ambassador to Britain has said the military-led offensive on the opposition set out to be no different from the British response to the 2011 London riots, but turned bloody when the Muslim Brotherhood started firing on the security forces," the article reads.

"Speaking in Egypt's embassy in a Mayfair townhouse, Mr Kholy compared the one-year rule of Mr Morsi to the Islamist takeover of the Iranian state after the 1979 revolution and said that, like Nazism, the Muslim Brotherhood ideology sought to dominate Egyptian society," the author reports.

"Morsi was elected president and held office for one year but in that time he tried to make everything Muslim Brotherhood controlled. Egyptian culture over 5,000 years is a mix of religions and civilisations in which the Islamic religion is one ingredient of the Egyptian character. The Muslim Brotherhood are like a Nazi group that demand that everything changes and people everything to their way," the ambassador is quoted as saying. 

"However, Mr Kholy said that the roadmap offered by the interim government for a return to democracy remained in place and that while the Muslim Brotherhood could be banned, its political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party, could contest the polls," the author adds.
