Apparently the Muslim brotherhood get 2 virgins for every new brother they recruit, but they have to give 1 virgin to the brother that recruited him

sounds good but these Pyramid schemes never work out in the end

What is happening in Egypt is a battle between Islamists and more moderate Muslims who don't want to be another Iran.

It's a battle for power.

It's funny how a lot of people in this thread have spoken about supporting democracy only to then contradict themselves.

1) I don't support the MB of course, I think they are quite nasty and their support of the butchers of the FSA in Syria displays their true colours

2) Morsi has been democratically elected in a country which has never experienced democracy before. It was inevitably going to take decades for it to start to work

3) Once the Egyptians had a taste of being ruled by Islamism, they realised they were wrong to elect the MB

4) They should have waited for the next election and then brought in somebody more secular and more interested in the welfare of ordinary Egyptians

Simples.

The problem with that is the way Morsi was consolidating power may have meant that either they wouldn't have got another election, or it would in no way have been a fair election.
