Egypt: "Moderate" and "largely secular" Muslim Brotherhood holds rally where participants vow "One day we’ll kill all Jews"

Nothing to see here. Repeat after me: the Muslim Brotherhood is "moderate." The Muslim Brotherhood is "largely secular," because the Obama administration’s director of national intelligence said so.
