Ghonim says that the current demonstrations were not started by the Muslim Brotherhood. They joined days after it started. In all likelihood, it was started by a group of well-educated, well-off, secular youths, like Ghonim. Ghonim said that the Muslim Brotherhood is welcome to join them and that they compose of about 10-15 percent of the protesters. He said that they have been falsely portrayed as a "bogeyman" by the Egyptian and United States governments to justify the harsh tactics used against protesters in the past.
