Over the last 80 years or so, the Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt has been trying to control the government of Egypt. They established a grass roots organization in 1928. They started as a peaceful organization teaching Islam and promoting friendships and social good. Soon, they wanted to control the government. They did not hesitate to use all available means, including assassinations (including of President Sadat) and bombings to grasp the reigns of power. Their methods put them at odds with successive ruling governments, which were forced to act against them. The Brotherhood then went underground. This lasted until two years ago, when Mr. Morsi was elected president in the afterglow of ousting the Mubarak dictatorship. The Brotherhood quickly and clearly demonstrated that they have little understanding of what democracy entails and showed everyone that they were unfit to govern, period. They filled all the important governmental posts with their members and exhibited great incompetence in most aspects of government.
