The Brotherhood’s leaders believed that the United States and Egypt’s elite were bent on ensuring their failure. For this reason, they refused to reach out to their secular opponents to offer them a piece of the political pie.
穆兄会领导人相信，美国和埃及精英处心积虑要使他们失败。因此，他们拒绝与世俗反对者接触，让他们也能从政治蛋糕上分一杯羹。即使是更严格恪守教规的伊斯兰光明党（Nour Party）也没有参与政府组建。
