Depth of Discontent Threatens Muslim Brotherhood and Its Leader (Hussein, Huma, Hillary saddened)
NY Times ^ | 7/2/13 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and KAREEM FAHIM

The Muslim Brotherhood, among the most powerful forces in Egypt, is facing perhaps the worst crisis in its 80-year history. Its members have been gunned down in the streets. Its new headquarters have been ransacked and burned, its political leader, President Mohamed Morsi, abandoned, threatened and isolated by old foes and recent allies.

It is a steep fall for the pre-eminent Islamist movement in the region, and especially surprising for a group that was elected just one year ago. Its critics say the Brotherhood remains stuck in old divisions, pitting Islamists against the military, and has failed to heed the demands of ordinary citizens.

Concrete proof that Islamists cannot actually govern will, I think, be a good thing for the world in the long run.

This will be good for Egypt, over the long run. They had a chance to see what living under an Islamist government was like, and they didn't like it at all.

Prof. Mona el-Ghobashy, who teaches political science at Barnard College and studies the Brotherhood said,

“They are old-style politicians. The people are trotted out to give you their vote. Then, ‘Go back home, and let the leaders take care of you,’

No one in the press even remembers that the MB was classified as a terrorist group by the US until Hussein submitted to them...
