"She does not believe that the Brotherhood is that much of a violent organization"
Is your girlfriend a Coptic Christian or a Muslim..I know a few Egyptian Christians at work and they beg to differ..The Muslim Brotherhood is not personally as violent as 40 years ago may be true to a degree. They act as humanitarians providing relief as a front to further their agenda which is Jihad ( They operate the same as Hezbolla and Hamas.). The violent activities are conducted on behalf of the brother hood by surrogate groups such as Hamas , Hezbolla and Al Quaida which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood.. Bin laden is tied to the Brotherhood and the Brotherhood was responsible for the assassination of Anwar Sadat. The Muslim Brotherhood is the head of the snake of all Islamist terrorist groups today..Don't kid yourself these people are very dangerous and will take an opportunity for Jihad when it can.
