The Muslim Brotherhood rejects Der Spiegel"s claims that Ayman Al-Zawahiri has been affiliated to it, said an MB leader to Ikhwaneweb.
 
Dr. Mohamed Morsy, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Executive Bureau, denied claims reported by the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, that Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda"s second-in-command, has ever been a Muslim Brotherhood member.
 
Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri has never been affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood group as an organization and ideology, said Morsy in statements to Ikhwanweb.
 
"The Muslim Brotherhood"s ideology shuns violence and the movement has never practiced it.
on the contrary we have  been always adopting  peaceful means for change", said Morsy.
