Who is saying the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is a front for theocracy? (other than Glenn Beck)
Really?

An Egyptian journalist named Sameh Fawzy. He's a lot closer to the situation than Kentucky. He stated, "Of course, the huge gains in the 2005 parliamentary elections allowed the Brotherhood to
pose "a democratic political challenge to the regime, not a theological one" .[40] Initially,
there has been widespread skepticism regarding the movement's commitment to use its influence to push Egypt forward towards a democratic state. For instance, briefly after the elections Sameh Fawzy remarked in the Al-Ahram Weekly newspaper,
"If the Muslim Brotherhood were in a position to enforce its ideological monopoly, the vast majority of the populace would face severe restrictions on its freedom of opinion and belief, not just on religious matters, but on social, political, economic and cultural affairs as well"
