  Rashad Al-Bayoumi, for example, stressed that the Brotherhood was not studying existing models of the movement’s political parties elsewhere in
the region and that whilst the party would share the Ikhwan’s ideological framework, it would be completely separate. (Asharq Alawsat. 27 February 2011 A talk with Muslim Brotherhood’s Rashad al-Bayoumi). Similarly, Brotherhood spokesman, Walid Shalabi insisted that the party and the movement might share the same Islamic ideals and would support each other when necessary, but that they would be completely separate in matters of management and finance (Freedom and Justice Party,
Jaddaliya
, 22 November 2011).

  BBC Monitoring Middle East, 29 March 2011. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood head discusses local issues in TV interview. Excerpt from report by Muslim Brotherhood website Ikhwanonline on 28 March. In order to demonstrate this division, the Freedom and Justice party took steps to differentiate itself from the Jama’a. It took as its slogan, ‘Freedom is the solution and justice is the application’ rather than ‘Islam is the solution.
