“This may or may not be true. There have been reports/rumors that MB has been on both sides.”

If anything, I would think it was anti-MB crowd infiltrating both sides. My reason: When MB didn’t back down after O’s speech, hostile anti-gov’t protesters decided that they needed to step it up in order to make their demands more clear with chaos (not to mention making MB look bad). Thus, getting the attention of world govt’s to pressure MB to step down to calm things down.

I’m sure there are bad MB supporters out there, but there is a lot of blame to go around.

I'm curious if you think there are goodMB supporters.
