However benign the Muslim Brotherhood portrays itself today, their [1] past and present influence still affects relations between the Islamic world and Israel. From the [2] IQNA:

The head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait has warned Arab leaders that the normalization of relations with Israel constitutes a “crime against Islam.”

Speaking at a diplomatic reception for Arab and Muslim envoys on Saturday, 'Abdallah Al-Mutawwa', the leader of Social Islam Society, said, “Palestinians are killed, their houses demolished and land confiscated while we are rushing for normalization with the Zionist regime”

Al-Mutawwa’s comments were sparked by word that Bahrain has ended its boycott of Israeli goods and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s recent overtures towards the Jewish state.

Bahrain’s foreign minister told government ministers and legislators that the nation had no intention of normalizing relations with Israel.
