Brotherhood propagating false heroism in the face of the coronavirus

Doaa Emam

The Muslim Brotherhood is in a new lying bid. It claims that its members, who are professional medical doctors, are not capable of participating in the ongoing fight to curb the spread of the coronavirus because most of them are in Egyptian jails.

Brotherhood mouthpieces

Muslim Brotherhood media outlets broadcast from Turkey and Qatar keep claiming that Muslim Brotherhood doctors in Egyptian jails can rescue Egypt from the coronavirus if they are released from jails.

However, this raises questions on what the Muslim Brotherhood medical professionals who are not in the jails have offered to stop the spread of the coronavirus anywhere. It also raises questions on what Mahmud Ezzat, a virology professor himself and the current deputy head of the Muslim Brotherhood supreme guide, can do other than hiding.

Revealing crisis

The accounts of some of the members of the Muslim Brotherhood uncover the falsity of current Brotherhood claims.

Muslim Brotherhood senior member Essam Telema denounced Ezzat’s failure to take any action after the emergence of the coronavirus around the world.

He said Brotherhood leaders act as if they live in a cave ever since their regime was brought down in Egypt.

“They are totally isolated from everything around them,” Telema said in a recent video.

He said only two of three figures keep talking on behalf of all Brotherhood members.

Telema noted that the coronavirus crisis revealed the limited abilities of Brotherhood leaders who act as if there is no pandemic around the world.

Good time

Former Brotherhood member Abdel Gelil al-Sharnoubi said the Muslim Brotherhood has been harboring hostility to Egypt and its state institutions for a long time now.

This is why, he said, nobody should be surprised when the group members find joy as the coronavirus claims the lives of more victims in Egypt.
