Muslim Brotherhood Casts Opposition as Enemies of Egypt

This article makes that argument and has some nasty thing to say about El Baradei. But I think the most interesting, and important, part of the piece is found in the following quotation.

"A final point. Some of the opposition figures keep invoking the term "political Islam," as if the term were a source of shame to Islamists.
Well, political Islam is not the invention of the Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamists. It is rather solidly rooted in Islam and its holy scripture, the Quran.
I am not going to discuss certain arguments made by anti-Islam secularists who claim that the rule of Sharia is not a must upon Muslims and that Muslims might opt for modern Western-style democracy without violating the tenets of their faith.
These arguments are quite nonsense, even for first grade Muslim children.
But I do want to point out that one cannot reject political Islam as a matter of principle, without rejecting Islam itself.
Yes, one might disagree with certain Islamist modalities, behaviours and interpretations. We all reject violence and terror committed in the name of religion. And we all would like to see a kinder and gentler practice of Islam everywhere.
But we must never allow ourselves as Muslims to compromise the main principles of our faith in order to appear more in tune with the age, and more acceptable to the West."

In my opinion, this is THE major point of contention about Islam. Can you separate its religious elements from its political elements? Is secularism, by definition, as this quote states "anti-Islam"? Is it "quite nonsense" to argue that you can adopt "western-style democracy without violating the tenets" of Islam? 

What is so interesting that those Westerners who make that argument, are labelled Islamophobes! But here we see a spoke person for the Muslim Brotherhood saying the same thing. Who in the West would accuse the Ihkwan of being Islamophobes?
