Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood's Presdient Mohammed Morsi was curbing democratic rights, firstmost, the rights of protestors.
But having the military secure democracy is a risky thing.
Is Egypt inching towards becoming the next Algeria, a state which cancels electoral results if Islamists win?
On the other hand, I share the great feelings of discomfort that liberal Egyptians have expressed over the inching power-grab on the part of Morsi.
