One dead as Egypt simmers ahead of rallies

For the opposition it’s pretty simple: The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) hijacked the people’s revolution, which was started by liberal Egyptians wanting democracy, not a theocracy and definitely not another dictatorship. The MB’s claim of coming into power democratically holds no water if once elected they then go about taking away democracy and is comparable to cold war Communists coming into power democratically, only to take away democracy once in power.

@japanviewer has nailed it.

I would give the classic example, Hitler was democratically elected just like Mursi, favored genocide and hated the jews. So do Eyptfree and other Mursi backer still think they have a right to govern unopposed?

/And if you claim I Godwin’ed the thread, tell Mike I said hi.

When The ” Arab Spring ” first started.
I predicted it would be Identical to the Palestinian Elections in the Gaza Strip.
Good People who just want to live life peacefully were soon Intimidated / Threatened / Killed.By the Overshadowing presense of the Hardline Islamic Extremist.
Hamas was Elected.
Even though everyone knew that was a death sentence for any kind of peacefull resolution to the Palestinian plight.
It was almost textbook Arab Spring.
