Soudan proclaimed he had played an “active part” in the January 2011 Egyptian revolution. In an interview he stated:“There is no question that the MB [Muslim Brotherhood] was the organizer of the revolution, because we were the only group with the capability to organize people on a mass scale. The mosques – and specifically Friday prayers – were a focal point for mobilization.”Further in the interview, Soudan asserted, “The Muslim Brotherhood has a coherent plan to change and fix society. We won’t want to force the people to pray. Egypt can only become Islamic in a gradual fashion.”
