Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri launched a new speech series, and in the first episode, drew lessons from the perceived failure of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to urge Muslims to adhere to Islamic principles.

The series is called "Brief Messages to a Victorious Ummah," and the first episode is titled, "Who Protects the Mus'haf [Qur'an]?". Zawahiri prefaced this episode by saying that it will provide a "brief overview," where the viewer can take a lesson from the Arab Spring and its "failure" in Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen, and added: "I will tell you the story of what happened in Egypt, because it represents the flagrant pattern of the Muslims’ failure if they are disabled and deviated, and it demonstrates the truth of the Crusaders’ enmity if they are transgressed upon. What is drawn from Egypt can be applied elsewhere".

The story Zawahiri presents looks at the Muslim Brotherhood from Hassan al-Banna in the late-1920s through Muhammad Morsi today, and what he regards as its deviations from seeking Shariah-based governance and accepting secular democracy. Here, he likened the Muslim Brotherhood to chickens in a poultry farm that are happy to take what they are given and ignore everything else. Zawahiri said:

We have to review the march, and correct the errors and not repeat them. Every fervent Muslim in Egypt, and in the states of the Arab Spring, the Islamic world, and everywhere, must be a lion in his doctrine and behavior, for if he will not act like a lion, he will be eaten by wolves. We must raise our young children as if we are nurturing cubs and not breeding lambs, and to fight in the battle with the Book that guides and the sword that supports.

Come O free people of the Umma from the Jihadi and Islamic movements: To form one united Jihadi front that launches from Palestine to remove the invasion and liberate Jerusalem and Earth and man; to establish the religion, and empower the Shari’a of Allah the god of the two worlds, and return the authority to the Muslim Ummah in Palestine, the cradle of the honest wise Caliphate and then the general lands of the Muslims.
