Abu Al-Ela Madi denied, in response to a question about his relation to the Brotherhood, that the Brotherhood is the source of Al-Wasat [the middle] Party’s ideology and program as asserted by the Brotherhood supreme guide. “The most serious threat facing Islam is those who freeze it at its early times and try to impose their views on Muslims,” Madi added.



“We are a political, civil, moderate, Islamic movement. Nationalism, democracy and Islamism are our three main orientations,” Madi explains.
