Muslim Brotherhood Dismisses Fears of Shiite Expansion in Egypt

Dr. Mohamed Taha Wahdan, member of the Muslim Brotherhood Guidance Bureau and the group’s Education Department official, reaffirmed that the Egyptian people and their government will not allow a Shiite expansion in Egypt under any circumstances.

In a speech, at a forum in Sharqiya province, on current events, Wahdan added: "Egypt is regularly visited by Jews, Buddhists and even atheists. Is it conceivable that tourists in Egypt for a couple of days will spread their doctrine?

"Al-Azhar was established to spread the Shia doctrine; but it has become a beacon and bastion of Sunni Islam, and will always remain so, God willing."
