Muhammad Ghannem reportedly told Al- Alam that the Suez Canal should be closed immediately, and that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel should cease “in order to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime.” He added that “the people should be prepared for war against Israel,” saying the world should understand that “the Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.”
Ghannem praised Egyptian soldiers deployed by President Hosni Mubarak to Egyptian cities, saying they “would not kill their brothers.” He added that Washington was forced to abandon plans to help Mubarak stay in power after “seeing millions head for the streets.”

Except that on their own
website, the MB states that they will not be taking leadership positions in the upcoming gov't. The guy quoted above may well "like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel." Well, Republican leader Michelle Bachmann would well like to see
disability benefits for US veterans cut. Doesn't mean it will happen.
