CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's administrative court dissolved Saturday the political party of the banned Muslim Brotherhood and ordered its assets liquidated, the state news agency reported.

The decision against the Freedom and Justice Party comes after a recommendation by the court's advisory panel that noted the party's leaders had already been accused, and in some cases convicted, of murder and inciting violence.

The recommendation added that the police investigation stated the party headquarters and offices were used to store weapons.

The Middle East news agency said the decision is final.

1. Egypt is used to military rule with Mubarak as the front man. Now, no front man.

[cosmicone]

2. El Sisi

is the new improved front man with 33% less calories.

4. Good one. Dissolving democracy while the West stands approvingly aside...while demanding

democracy for all the Middle East nations....it is all very confusing, especially to folks in the Middle East.

[cosmicone]

9. Some countries are just not ready fr democracy

Democracy assumes that people will act in their self-interest and do what is right. When they vote for ideology and religion against their economic interest, the democracy collapses.

[Fred Sanders]

3. New dictator same as the old dictator....but they are mediating Middle East peace, so it's all good.

5. Religious parties should never be mixed with government

I see no downside to keeping religious lunatics out of Government.

6. So the end justifies the means - eh? n/t

7. Tell it to the Christian Democrats

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_democratic_parties

Christian democratic parties are those political parties that seek to apply Christian principles to public policy. The underlying Christian democracy movement emerged in 19th-century Europe, largely under the influence of Catholic social teaching, and it continues to be influential in Europe and Latin America, though in a number of countries its Christian ethos has been diluted by secularisation. In practice, Christian democracy is often considered conservative on cultural, social, and moral issues and progressive on fiscal and economic issues. In Europe, where their opponents have traditionally been secularist socialists, Christian democratic parties are moderately conservative overall, whereas in the very different cultural and political environment of Latin America they tend to lean to the left. It is the dominant political movement in Europe.

8. Normally, I'd be horrified. But I'll have to make an exception here.

I'm sorry to say this, but as flawed as the Sisi regime has been, the Muslim Brotherhood is just plain AWFUL. If one knew about their history, it wouldn't be hard to understand why.

[Comrade Grumpy]

10. The AWFUL Moslem Brotherhood took the path of democracy and won elections.

It was then deposed in a violent coup--supported by "liberals"--in which the military gunned down a thousand people in the street in one day, arrested tens of thousands more, and has sentenced thousands to death in kangaroo mass trials.

The MB was a conservative Islamic political party, but it had stepped away from the path of violence.

The current government is the old Mubarek deep state, only without Mubarek.

[Purveyor]

11. "Democracy on Parade"...indeed.

[fujiyama]

12. I guess I should feel bad

but I don't. Fuck the Muslim Brotherhood.

And fuck their apologists as well. I have never ever understood those "liberals" that allied themselves with theocrats. A lot of Marxists got duped by Khomeini as well and marched alongside him. A lot of those idiots were later hanged.

[freshwest]

13. Theocracy and Democracy don't mix. Separation of church and state is necessary.

[DeSwiss]

14. Oh, those Democrat$......
