“The Egyptian people consider America’s claims that it respects democracy and freedom as mere words. US President Obama’s promises, made during his visit to Egypt, have not been fulfilled, and Egyptians want to see more concrete steps in this regard. The discriminatory policies adopted by the US administration toward Muslims make them doubt the seriousness of US intentions with regard to democracy promotion. We had a revolution for change, and US policy should change, too. We have a parliament for the first time that represents the people and not the regime, and religion is a key component in the hearts of the people, who will stand by their Parliament.”
Muslim Brotherhood’s Abdel Rahman al-Barr, to Assistant US Secretary of State for Democracy and Human Rights Michael Posner and US Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson, at the embassy’s headquarters in Cairo. (‘Brotherhood figure meets US officials…’, Egypt Independent)
