- monetus 4y agoDidn't morsi try to dissolve the judiciary?
- croes 4y agoAnd now it's better in Egypt?
- daemoens 4y agoOf course it isn't but dissolving the judiciary still wouldn't have been a good thing.
- int_19h 4y agoIt's not an uncommon thing for a justifiable uprising to end up in a place worse than before. It doesn't necessarily mean that it was instigated from the outside for that or some other purpose.
- guelo 4y agoNot true but the judiciary did dissolve the democratically elected parliament. Who was more legitimate? Answer: the parliament
- monetus 4y agoHave some good English language Egyptian new sources?
- alpha_squared 4y agoEgyptian here, hello. Some pretty big quotes should surround "democratically". Also, the Muslim Brotherhood attempted to enact constitutional Sharia Law, something unfavorable even amongst the Muslim-majority populace. If we're going to cherry-pick Egypt as an example here, would be nice to provide the whole picture of what went down (which this comment certainly isn't).

- guelo 4y agoIt is not true that Morsi's government tried to enact Sharia law. Egyptian liberal's overblown fear of Islam resulted in something far worse, a military dictatorship for another 30 years. Morsi was a moderate and was not going to impose sharia. Sisi is an extremist dictator who has jailed thousands of journalists and political rivals.
