(CBS) CAIRO - There are many opposition groups in Egypt. None is as organized or as vilified as the Muslim Brotherhood.
On Friday, its leaders said they won't run a candidate for president, but the brotherhood does expect to play a role in Egypt's future, CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann reports.
Long before the clamor of Tahrir Square, Hosni Mubarak heard one group's dissent and despised them for it.
They're the Muslim Brotherhood, religious conservatives, often secretive and poorly understood. What is clear: They want an Egyptian Islamic state. This week, they stepped out of the shadows and joined the protesters demanding Mubarak to step down.
"For so long we have voiced our rejection of these criminal policies which have spoiled all aspects of life in Egypt and all those who sought to express their opinion," the Muslim Brotherhood's deputy director, Dr. Rashad Albayomi, said.

Poorly understood???????????????
I say, understood all too well. OBL adherents. Sharia law adherents. Violent anti semites. America haters in the extreme.
I may be crazy but does anyone else think the Muslim Brotherhood is scratching their heads wondering what the hell is going on?
It sounds more like something that a Louis Farrakhan or a Quannel X would think up.
“I may be crazy but does anyone else think the Muslim Brotherhood is scratching their heads wondering what the hell is going on?”
Not me, they’re celebrating that they got one of their own in DC. After all, no sane person would EVER let them get this close to power.
They’re the Muslim Brotherhood, religious conservatives———————yeah and I got a bridge in CA to sell ya.
Poorly understood???????????????
Don’t let them be misunderstood.
Yep, but now Mr. Strassman will explain them, alright. His previous job was to sell Brooklyn bridge.
Someone needs to whisper to the Egyptian services to use the chaos to WIPE OUT the MB leadership, down to their last man. Bad things happen in chaos, you know...
“Dissent” is one of the Left’s favorite words but it is simply not warranted here. The Ikhwan doesn’t “dissent.” It doesn’t even believe in “dissent.” Once it’s in power, there will be no “dissent” of any kind; there will only be, for lack of better terms, the stoners and the stonees.
Now Obamao’s global warming gurus are tying to tell us they are being misunderstood and we need to be edumacated!!!!
Which side of the fence is CBS News on? Next, when they start to behead journalists, will the MSM finally get the picture and stop supporting all elements of these uprisings?
