| Hodaibi acting deputy guide general of Muslim Brotherhood... |
| 2002-10-30 |
| Former judge Mohammad Ma'moun el-Hodaibi, deputy guide-general and official spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood, has temporarily undertaken all responsibilities of general guidance of the group, said Mohammad Morsi el-Ayyat, spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Egyptian People's Assembly (parliament) Wednesday, October 30. In exclusive statements to IslamOnline, El-Ayyat said the group's bylaw stipulates that the deputy guide-general assumes the responsibilities of the guide-general whenever the latter is unable to do so because of illness, arrest or travel. The Muslim Brotherhood guide-general Mustafa Mashhour was admitted to intensive care unit in El-Nozha Hospital Tuesday, October 29, after suffering a brain stroke. "The work of the Muslim Brotherhood is institutional and does not depend on a particular person. The post of guide-general does not hamper the institutional work of the group because more than 90 percent of the group's activities do not, for the major part, depend on the guide-general," El-Ayyat told IslamOnline. The Muslim Brotherhood is a rather shadowy Islamist International running through the Middle East, and, indeed, world-wide. It's one of Islamism's mostly-legitimate faces. |
