- Given the opportunity, The Muslim Brotherhood would implement the same version of Islam as Afghanistan
- All attempts by Qatar, Turkey and others to present the Taliban as though they have changed are meaningless
- The claim that "terrorism has no religion" is false, because when a terrorist says that he wants to implement the shari'a, he does so on the basis of the Quran and hadiths
- the Muslim Brotherhood is in fact the Taliban, but under another name
- The desire to peddle this 'new version' of Taliban – this is nonsense

Ibrahim Eissa: 
"Why do people say that 'terrorism has no religion?' So, what is terrorism then? When a terrorist says that he wants to implement the true religion, as was given to us by Allah, and that he wants to implement the shari'a – you want to tell me that it has nothing to do with religion? Everybody is saying...

"Look at any act of terrorism in the world – a man running over people in Europe, a bombing in Sinai, a bombing in Afghanistan – everybody immediately says: 'Terrorism has no religion,' and they say it in the utmost devotion and acceptance. What do you mean by 'Terrorism has no religion?' C'mon... What is it then? He is using religion, using hadiths and Quranic verses, so we must respond to the fact that he is saying that this is the religion. I do not understand the saying 'Terrorism has no religion.' Terrorism does have a religion. Sometimes it is a Muslim terrorist and his religion is Islam.

"Other times, it is a right-wing Christian terrorist... Allah! So, how come 'Terrorism has no religion?' My point is that the Muslim Brotherhood – were, and still are, the same as the Taliban, but with a different name. If the Muslim Brotherhood were given the opportunity... If MB Supreme Guide [Mohammed] Badie was in Afghanistan right now, he would have made the people dress the same way as in Afghanistan, and he would have done everything that is being done in Afghanistan today.

"It is not that the Taliban is narrow-minded, and the Muslim Brotherhood is more open-minded. Not at all! It is only a matter of environment, feasibility, and opportunity. Once they have the opportunity, they will all be like the Taliban.

"The important point here is the desire of some elements in the Islamic movement to improve [the image] of the Taliban. We are mainly talking about Turkey and Qatar. The desire to peddle this 'new version' of Taliban – this is nonsense altogether.
