Morsi Isn’t Going Anywhere Without a Fight

Morsi Isn’t Going Anywhere Without a Fight

Mohammed_MorsiWith four dead in ongoing protests against the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, Ariel Ben Solomon of the Jerusalem Post writes that Westerners shouldn’t get too excited or upset just yet – odds are strong that Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist fellow travelers aren’t going anywhere.  At least not anytime soon.

The Muslim Brotherhood organization is described by analysts as being “pragmatic,” but the government’s behavior since coming to power seems to be more like a play for power at all costs, than any reasonableness.
