Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian Politics

During a debate at Georgetown University’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding a delegation of representatives from the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) was present. They spoke about the FJP’s vision for Egypt and a recent announcement that leading Muslim Brotherhood member Khairat al-Shater would run for president, despite earlier pledges by the party not to participate in the election. They also responded to questions from the audience.
