The Muslim Brotherhood is Waking up From its Hibernation in Egypt.

The series of explosions, which hit Egypt today, portray the exact nature of the Muslim Brotherhood organization. These horrific acts confirm the fact once again that we cannot trust an Islamic organization just because of some fancy word and set of suit and tie that its members say and wear. Some might claim the aggressive behavior of the Egyptian Military Regime, has ultimately forced the Muslim Brotherhood to react violently, in order to recapture the power and their rights in the country.

I do not want to defend the aggressive behavior of the Egyptian army through this note. But I can say that this is a one-dimensional claim, if we put all the blames on the shoulders of the Egyptian Army. We should not forget that this was the Muslim Brotherhood that wanted to forcefully impose Sharia Law in Egypt, when they took the power in Egypt. Moreover, we cannot deny the fact that the implementation of the Sharia Law is equivalent to the severe violation of basic human rights.

Thus, at this critical moment, instead of blaming the Egyptian Military Regime for this mess, the international community should act and focus on three major issues in Egypt as follows. 1- It should fully support the current Egyptian Regime on its proportional war (legally binding) against the Islamic jihadist and terrorist in the country. 2- It should have a comprehensive and constructive dialogue with the Egyptian Regime in order to lead the Egyptian regime toward more democratization and sustainable political pluralism. 3- It should help the Egyptian Regime to implement and perform some long term economic, political, social and cultural development programs in the country. By following these three steps in an appropriate manner, we would be able to overcome the threat of Jihadist and more dangerously instability in Egypt. Otherwise, Egypt would undoubtedly plunge in the devastating civil war, somewhere in the near future.

we should not be genius to understand how devastating a civil war in Egypt would be, when we consider some issues such as: 1- Egypt has borders with Gaza Strip, Israel, Libya, and Sudan (All critical areas)  2- Egypt has one of the most important geopolitical positions with regards to Suez canal and Mediterranean Sea (Important for the EU and some other parts of the world in different terms) 3- Egypt is one of the largest countries in the Middle East and Africa with an area of 1,001,450 square kilometers and finally (Geographically, difficult to control and defeat the Jihadists, if some of them would manage to seize the power in egypt) 4- Egypt has nearly a population of more than 8o million people (Massive unemployed human capital, which easily can be recruited and mobilized by Jihadist and radical groups).
