Camelia Sadat, the daughter of the third President of Egypt Anwar Sadat, has some interesting things to say about Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Regarding the recent bloodshed- she places partial blame on her father for releasing the Islamists from jail back in the day because he believed that "they could join the fabric of Egyptian society again." As a result he was assassinated.
She talks about the "terrorism within" which is ultimately destroying them.
"They will never change."
She says it all starts with their pledge to the General Guide which has them with one hand on the Quran and the other on a pistol.
Some history on Camelia, who was married off at 12 by her father, and back in 2002 was practically destitute and living in the U.S. Couldn't find any recent information on her, other than the snippet of an interview below.

Mom Of Anwar al-Sadat's Killer "Very Proud" Of What Her Son Did
Only in the Arab world are mothers 'proud' of their killer offspring.
The 85-year-old mother of Egyptian Khaled al-Islambouli, the army officer who assassinated President Anwar al-Sadat on October 6, 1981, was recently interviewed by Iran's Fars news agency, and this is what she said of her son:
If you remember, Sadat was murdered on the eighth anniversary of the Yom Kippur War with Israel. What prompted the assassination was the fact that Sadat made peace with Israel (through the Camp David Accord in 1979) and Islambouli, a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, wanted none of it. So, during the October 6 ceremony,
Islambouli and others involved in the assassination plot were executed April 15, 1982. Naturally, they were lauded as martyrs and inspired future jihadist movements. In fact, he seemed to inspire his murderous brother, Mohamed Showqi, who in 1995 plotted to assassinate Hosni Mubarak and was sentenced to death in absentia.
And the Iranian government certainly was proud of Islambouli, since they had hatred of the Jews and Israel in common. In fact, they were so proud, in 1981 they named a street after him in Tehran, and when he was executed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called him a martyr. And Qadriya loves Iran, after all Iran helped her get back to Egypt (from Afghanistan), and they paid for her 15-day, all-inclusive trip to Iran. Apparently, her son loved Iran too- he dreamed of an Islamic revolution taking over the Arab world. With the rise of the Islamists as a result of the Arab Spring, his dream just might be coming true.

“I am very proud that my son killed Anwar al-Sadat. The government called him a terrorist, a criminal, and a murderer, but they didn’t say that was he was defending Islam. They didn’t say anything about the oppressed people in Palestine, about Camp David, or how Sadat sold out the country to the Jews and violated the honor of the Islamic nation."

What prompted the assassination was the fact that Sadat made peace with Israel (through the Camp David Accord in 1979) and Islambouli, a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, wanted none of it. So, during the October 6 ceremony,
gunmen ran from one of the parade vehicles with Islambouli leading an orchestrated hit, leaping from military vehicles to bombard the presidential stand with bullets. Sadat was pronounced dead two hours later and 20 others, including four American diplomats, were injured.
