"The Muslim Brotherhood's tragic flaw is chauvinism. The chauvinists have this militant devotion to and glorification of their own group, party or ethnicity. They views their ideology as the 'most puritanical' of other beliefs and thoughts. There is no wonder why the chauvinists are not only fanatics but also loud-mouth, opinionated bigots, who see themselves as always right and all other people as always wrong. Chauvinists are indeed like those who look themselves in the mirror." Tharwat Al-Gharabawi, Al Masry Al Youm daily, December 28. (Mr Al-Gharabawi used to be a senior Muslim Brotherhood leader before defecting from the group in 2002).
