Expert: Egypt Likely to Remain Violent as Muslim Brotherhood Resists Military

A polarized Egypt will likely remain enveloped in violence because the Muslim Brotherhood lacks incentive to rejoin the political process, a regional expert said Monday.

Almost 300 people have died since Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi deposed President Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader, on July 3. Morsi’s authoritarian rule prompted secular Egyptians and others to back the military’s actions, but supporters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood argue that the country’s first democratically elected leader should be reinstated.

The Muslim Brotherhood has refused to “swallow the reality” of Morsi’s exit, despite pleas from international diplomats and an offer by the military and interim government to free some jailed Brotherhood members, unfreeze the group’s assets, and grant it three ministerial posts, according to reports Monday.

Egypt has 80 million with birth certificates, I doubt the “brothers” Muslim brotherhood will cause that many problems.

Check out the “Live Egypt” thread for the latest! Actually it looks as though the military is going to take action against the MB - just going through legal hoops so it’s all nice and tidy.

Caww and melancholy are doing most of the heavy lifting but others post useful info as well.

Leave them alone - When muslims are concentrating on killing other muslims they aren’t killing Christians.

As long as Deposed Egyptian President Mori remains in Egypt, the brotherhood will fight for his reinstatement. Mori must be permanently removed from that part of the world for that country to move forward. This power struggle and spinning of wheels could easily last what, for the next fifty years, or for the rest of his natural life unless there is direct and opposing intervention.
