The following is the Al-Hiwar interview:
Interviewer: "During the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, you said that the Muslim Brotherhood was prepared to arm 10,000 young men, and to send them to Lebanon in order to support the resistance. Does this apply to Palestine too?"
'Akef: "This applies to any country under occupation.
HEY, THAT'S GOOD NEWS, SYRIA IS OCCUPYING LEBANON, RIGHT?
'Akef: One of the principles of the Muslim Brotherhood is to rid the Arab and Islamic nation of any foreign rule. The Muslim Brotherhood must support all the forces of resistance in the Arab and Islamic world."
Interviewer: "From where will they get the weapons?"
'Akef: "I don't know. I was talking about men, not weapons. I said we would recruit 10,000 men..."
Interviewer: "Armed men..."
'Akef: "No, you added the word 'armed.' The government must arm these people. When I fought in Palestine,
the government knew about it. The government trained and armed us. As you well know, the military commanders worked with the Muslim Brotherhood. When we fought the English in 1951 in the [Suez] Canal, the government knew about it. We would undergo weapons training within [Al-Azhar] University."
ROP?
[...]
'Akef: "In no country and under no circumstances is it possible to launch resistance unless the government approves of it. Otherwise, we would be fighting the government, which is not our policy."
ISN'T THAT A GREAT PIECE OF DIALECTIC? C'MON GUYS & GALS !

Interviewer: "There are Sunnis, members of Al-Qaeda, who kill civilians in the name of Islam. There are Shi'ites who kill Sunnis in the name of Islam..."
'Akef: "All these things are American Zionist tricks.
OY VAY IZ MEER, THEY FOUND OUT!
'Akef: The Shi'ites attack one another, the Sunnis attack one another, and the Sh'iites attack the Sunnis. But the Muslim Brotherhood has a principle, which I declared from day one: The Shi'ites and Sunnis are brothers."
[...]
'Akef: "I'd like to go back to the issue of Al-Qaeda. There is no such thing as Al-Qaeda. This is an American invention, so that they will have something to fight for..."
Interviewer: "What about Osama bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri, and the Islamic State of Iraq?"
'Akef: "When one man, or two or three, fight this tyrannical global superpower - is it worth anything?"
Interviewer: "Thousands have carried out attacks in the Iraq in the name of Al-Qaeda..."
'Akef: "That is a lie. Who says so?"
Interviewer: "They do."
'Akef: "No, the Americans and their collaborators say this."
Interviewer: "But they claim responsibility for these attacks..."
'Akef: "Al-Qaeda has an ideology, which makes them..."
Interviewer: "You described it once as a perverted ideology."
'Akef: "Of course it is. It is a perverted ideology, which employs methods that do not please Allah. How can I kill a Muslim when this is forbidden?"
