When the Iranians emailed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to complement them on the Islamic Revolution there, the Muslim brotherhood emailed them back and said "this is NOT an ISLAMIC revolution, its an EGYPTIAN revolution to benifit muslims, christians, and all oppressed people everywhere". if they hold tothat then it may work out well.

I don't believe this report (regimes don't communicate like that) and secondly, if it did happen I'd bet the Iranian's response was:
"ROFLMAO!!!"

I heard that same report. The Muslim Brotherhood undoubtedly released that statement for public consumption.
There has been a lot of western speculation that the Muslim Brotherhood would gain control of the Egyptian government. Either in the current turmoil, in any upcoming elections or political maneuvering.
Here is a quote from the Economist re the Brotherhood:"its decline in some countries is owing instead to a failure to fulfil its promises to bring about change. Earlier this year, in elections in Kuwait, its candidates won just a single seat, down from six in 2003. And in Morocco the Justice and Development party, which had been successfully imitating the Brotherhood, slumped to less than 6% in recent local elections, albeit amid accusations of graft and manipulation"
