Band of Brothers and Symposium

The Muslim Brotherhood  recently rejected the idea of censorship as being a part of the constitution. Although, Morsi’s newly appointed Minister of Culture has been seen as a threat to the art especially the Opera and theatre. This idea of restriction is not welcomed by Egyptians and goes unappreicated. It is a great cause for concern during this time period of August 2012-August of 2013.

The Muslim Brotherhood responds to the Sinai attack. The Brotherhood states that the attacks are linked to the islamist militants.

The Muslim Brotherhood was also mentioned on the Al Jazeera website. October 24th, marks the 300 day mark of the imprisonment of Al Jazeera journalist. The Al Jazeera journalist have been charged with “spreading false news, endangering national security and support a banned organization, the Muslim Brotherhood.”
