MH, the MB is a banned organisation in Egypt, active membership of it under the old regime was enough to have you picked up, arrested and held for a few days.
High ranking members were often arrested for fraud, drug possession and lord knows what else could be pinned and planted on them.
They stood as independents as the MB wouldn't ever have been allowed to participate officially in politics as it is outlawed.
So as you understand the MB situation. If I were to email 'H' with an article critical of the regime, if he were ever picked up and his email gone through it could have serious consequences.
If he even went onto a MB site, he could be tracked down. If his texts, or phone conversations were critical of the regime, sooner or later he may be picked up.
If found to be dangerous, he could quite simply disappear 'behind the sun'.
It is true, there are deeply fanatic and fundmentalist members of the MB, and I have long been wary of them. I do wonder how much of that was propaganda and how much is real... judging by their behaviour during these times, I have to say I am heartened. I remain wary, but that is because it'll take an awful lot more than 9 days for me to see that they mean what they are saying at the moment.
People from these cultures can play a very long game.... like Camels, they can hold a grudge for years, without even a flicker of anything untoward until one day, when you least expect it, they reveal the response to the slight you may have shown them all that time ago.
I wouldn't like MB to gain majority power, I don't see a reason, based on their behaviour why they ought not be involved, have a say, and have their interests and requests considered, but ultimately I don't believe politics and religion should mix at all, the 2 are counter productive IMHO.
I believe that the management of the country can be perfectly well run without involving religion, leaving people to live their daily lives as they personally wish to.
The army generally do as they are told. They are defying the Pres in some ways, but they have a job to do and are taking orders. Once a credible Opposition team presents itself and dumping Hosni is not as precarious as it is at this moment, there may be a change of heart.
I for one can't WAIT for the day that a democratically elected Govt holds the purse strings and the military and the police have to come begging for their budget....
'H' has police officer friends. He has been advised not to associate with them in future as it could be dangerous.
