(19,497 posts)Surely, you're not inferring if Hamas or AQ or a violent Wahabist sect were in the role of MB that my opinion would change. It wouldn't.
I think the coup is terrible but there is nothing redeeming about the MB and if -- God forbid -- they were to prevail we would regret their return to power as surely as I regretted their initial assumption of power. I would have preferred to see them displaced by democratic elections but they were determined to deny to others that which they employed themselves to gain power. There is nothing democratic about them.
If the MB is driven from Egypt I would be intensely interested to see if those replacing them can live peacefully alongside Israel and the rest of their neighbors, i.e. not support the AQ jihadists in Syria (No, I am NOT rooting for Assad, I'm concurrently NOT rooting for AG-Syria) as well as other ethnic groups such as the Coptic Christians.
