Al-zawahirie, an Egyptian, and who was Bin Laden's right hand man, now the head of Al Qeada has had connections with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

Ayman al-Zawahiri, a leading contender to replace Bin Laden, was once aligned to the Muslim Brotherhood. His brother Mohammed was arrested under Mubarak and re-arrested shortly after his release by Egypt's military rulers.
What to Obama might seem like “denigrating” a religion to others could be more like simply telling the truth about a religion that has been hijacked by extremists. We can’t be blackmailed by the threat of violence if we say or do what Islamic extremists deem to be blasphemy. We Americans cannot allow them to intimidate us. So therefore I fully support Mitt Romney’s statement. We need to vote the Apologist in Chief out of office.
