Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood calls for 'day of rage'

[PSPS]

77. Morsi was removed by a popular uprising

The Egyptian military holds a unique role in Egyptian society, much different than here in the US. When the people saw what Morsi was doing (beginning very shortly after he took office,) they had enough and he was removed by the military which, by virtue of its unique role in their society, reflects the will of the people, at least in this case. What we are seeing now is the theocratic movement that backs Morsi's shenanigans trying to foist their reactionary will on the country and, so far, they haven't prevailed.

Imagine a scenario where some GOP nutjob manages to get himself into office here in the US, disbands congress (Morsi disbanded parliament) and decides that the country will now follow "biblical law" (Morsi wanted to adopt "Shria Law.&quot What would be the better course of action? Endure four years of abuse and damage while waiting for another election or force the charlatan from office? Fortunately for Egypt, they had the will and means to do the latter.

As someone else pointed out, Morsi's supporters could put an end to their own bloodshed immediately. But you usually don't get rational actions from religious fanatics.
