Of course the Obama admin felt the need to reopen formal diplomatic relations with this group (which were earlier suspended on suspicions of involvement in terrorism) once it started becoming apparent that they were becoming a serious political player in Egypt and Obama even called to congratulate Mursi last week on his win.

The last time I checked this group has not renounced their credo and still considers jihad as their way and death for the sake of Allah to be their highest aspiration. It just a matter of weeks however before we see a picture of Obama bowing to Mohamed Mursi.

The Muslim Brotherhood formally renounced violence about 40 years ago during the presidency of Anwar el-Sadat.

Also, you should look up what is actually meant by the term "jihad".
