Why does the MB have such a large following? Try extreme poverty for one thing. And btw, not all those protesting are members of the MB by a long shot.

And YOU are wrong. There are multiple reports out today that there was a deal proposed by the U.S. and allies. The MB was willing to negotiate. Al-Sisi and the military? Nope. They wanted to kill. They wanted to set off this cycle of violence.

Your excuses for mass murder are disgusting and who the hell are YOU to speak for the people of Egypt? The people of Egypt are divided and its not only about religion.
