the Muslim Brotherhood is correct. I think the problem came when Morsi called Jihad in Syria and the violence that happened in Lebanon from Islamists connected to the Brotherhood. There is violence going on both sides. Ir is even happening in Tunisia now.
I also think that is how the Syrian uprising began against Assad also. They consider the Brother Muslimhood Terrorists and a threat to the state. I'm beginning to understand their complaints now against totalitarian rulers like Assad. Their security forces imprison a lot of people deemed as a threat and they sometimes disappear.
A lot of Human Rights Organizations have intervened in these cases. Most of these Organizations however are Western based and these Governments accuse them of bias. Guantanamo Bay and Israel's abuses are examples. THe U.S. has imprisoned the same people without Trials. Israel's displacement and political assassinations of people they see as a threat to their security is another example. South Korea also imprisons people that has opposing opinions about their conflict with North Korea.
Both Assad and Mubarak co-operated with the Bush administration with the War on Terror when they were against groups like the Muslim Brotherhood or Al Qa eda for convenience. This rendition program was part of that. It alleges the Bush Administration sent prisoners and even kidnapped citizens of Foreign countries, to send them to places like Syria and Egypt for their interrogation techniques. The claim is they did this through a secret court which gives the U.S. Government immunity, on the basis of National Security.
Now I don't agree with this, but what makes the above different than what these regimes are doing on the basis of what they see as their national security?
