Researcher Mounir Adeeb said that the Muslim Brotherhood embraces the rhetoric of democracy, pluralism, and freedoms when it is in opposition, but tends to monopolize power and sideline its opponents once it comes to power. He noted that this contradiction also extends to its positions on human rights, citizenship, and loyalty to the state. He cited the group’s announcement after January 2011 that it did not seek to control parliament or run for president, before it went on to contest parliamentary elections and put forward a presidential candidate in 2012. In his view, the problem lies in a lack of transparency and in promises changing as the balance of power shifts. He added that this double standard is also evident in the gap between its insistence on the independence of national decision-making and the existence of cross-border organizational ties, he said.
