A leader of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood on Tuesday, April 16, linked the Boston bombings to an anti-Islam conspiracy.

In a post on his personal Facebook page, Muslim Brotherhood Vice President Essam el-Erian suggested the attack was part of a global plot to discredit Islam, citing violence in Mali, Syria, Somalia and other Muslim nations, The Hill reported.

“Our sympathy with the families of the victims, and the American people do not stop us from reading into the grave incident,” he wrote, according to an English translation.

“This series of events began with the sending of French battalions to Mali in a war against organizations that are said to belong to Al-Qaeda. Bombings intensified in Syria in a suspicious manner that deviated from the path of the great Syrian revolution, and smear campaigns began,” he continued. “Violent explosions returned, rearing their ugly heads again in Iraq, targeting peaceful movements aiming for needed reform. After a reasonable calm in Somalia, the capital Mogadishu shook again, leading to lowered confidence in the new president and government.

“A question that forces itself: Who disturbed democratic transformations, despite the difficult transition from despotism, corruption, poverty, hatred, and intolerance to freedom, justice tolerance, development, human dignity, and social justice?”

The Freedom and Justice Party officially condemned the Boston attacks, saying they “categorically” rejected the “intolerable” attack, claiming it violated the principles of Islamic Sharia law.

“The FJP offers heartfelt sympathies and solemn condolences to the American people and the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured,” the group said.

President Mohammed Morsi was the Freedom and Justice Party’s candidate in last year’s election before leaving the party after winning the country’s national election.

Morsi’s office and the Egyptian embassy in Washington had not issued any statements on the attack as of Tuesday morning, The Hill reported.
