I don't see why not. Morsi only had one year but he followed some constitutional processes and made some attempts to moderate his Islamic party. Anything you can accuse Morsi of general el-Sisi has been much worse on.
- manfredo 8y agoThe Egyptians I've spoken to had different opinions. As stated before, they were Coptic Christians (a religious minority) so their views are likely different from the average Egyptian. But they worried extensively of the possibility of sectarian rule, and regard el-Sisi with positive regard. El-Sisi met with the Coptic Pope, and from their point of view did a significantly better job of assuring religious minorities that they'd be protected. And regardless of the choice between el-Sisi and Morsi, almost all of them regard the overthrow of Mubarak as a mistake (albeit in retrospect). Again, to reiterate it's worth mentioning that this is a specific perspective, and one that has a good chance of not being representative of the majority.
